We had not originally planned to send our children to private school, but the challenges of pandemic-era remote learning at our highly rated public school led us to explore smaller, independent-school alternatives. That experience showed us how important a relationship-based learning environment is for helping students feel engaged, challenged, and supported. We are grateful for the wonderful faculty and staff and the positive effect they have had not only on our children's love for learning but also their personal and social-emotional growth. From the outside, TCPS may not appear to be a top-rated school, but inside it is filled with warmth, kindness, respect, engaging learning experiences, and strong family involvement. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found TCPS.

This is truly the most amazing preschool around!! My son started elsewhere at a school that I had…read moreheard the best things about, but unfortunately I just felt like they didn't make the effort with each individual kid. They made me feel like it was him and I worried it would affect his view of school and learning. Thankfully we switched to The Village Church and we had the absolute best experience from day 1! The teachers and director went above and beyond to build a relationship with my son and he absolutely loved school and thrived from that point on. They have such an incredible understanding of child development and know how to reach and help each child grow in their own way. They prepared him both academically and emotionally to be ready for kindergarten and I am so happy to say he is thriving thanks to this school! My daughter is now going here and loves it just as much! We feel so lucky to have found this wonderful place!!

CCPAA has been an absolute game changer for our military family. If you know anything about…read moremilitary life, you know the constant uprooting is a challenge--our children have experienced more school changes than we ever wanted, not by choice but by necessity. At this duty station, things were especially tough; we had to go through three different schools in our first year here. That all changed when my husband found this diamond in the rough. Before CCPAA, our kids attended a private school that felt cold, cliquish, and unwelcoming. Finding CCPAA was like finding a second family. From day one, we were welcomed warmly, and it has made all the difference. My children have been at CCPAA for a year and a half now, and they've loved every single moment. The teachers are passionate and truly engaged with the students, and the administration is always on top of everything. They create an environment that is not only academically enriching but also incredibly nurturing. What really stands out to us is the vibrant creative offerings--dance, music, jazz band, art, drama, and more. For our family, creativity is just as important as academics, and CCPAA allows our children to explore both. They're thriving, not just as students, but as artists, thinkers, and young individuals with diverse passions. The school's inclusive, diverse environment and sense of community have given our family stability, warmth, and a place to belong in the midst of the frequent changes that come with military life. We couldn't be more grateful for this incredible school.

Once a shy and somewhat insecure child, he has now grown into a tween that performs in front of an audience, has friends and pushes himself academically. It is a bit of an unconventional school due to the small size but some kids thrive in that type of environment where everyone knows your name and the students interact with all ages.

She found a love for math, reading, and cooking at DMM. She also loves the outdoor space that gives her so much to enjoy everyday. Thank you Kathy for seeing what my daughter needed and reassuring me that I did the right thing by changing her environment and trusting the Montessori methods.

The teachers who stood out were Miss Julia, Miss Kylie, and Miss Paula. Both of my children went through the preschool program at St. Vincent's. My kids are now in the upper grade school. Miss Julia was very patient with my son, who was very introverted and shy. Almost non- verbal, Miss julia was able to encourage my son to speak and communicate at his own pace. He has come out of his shell and I literally thank Miss Julia. My son, now going into 2nd grade, can read and write in complete sentences at a 3rd grade level! Last year he got a communication award and I write this in tears because I give credit to Miss Julia. Her patience is unmatched and she truly has a gift of knowing what each child needs to excel. Now, my daughter is the complete opposite of my son. Miss Julia saw how advanced my daughter was in certain areas. She learned her ABCs, shockingly in sign language as well! Both of my children learned Spanish, colors, and days of the week. This positive environment allowed both my children to grow at their own pace, especially emotionally, without pressure. Miss Kylie is a sweet teacher who is also patient and has a kind nature about her. She also provides a safe place for the kids and is always updating parents about the day. A gem. Miss Paula is so great as well. She cares about the kids and has a great teaching style as well. Miss Alexis is the best, best in the 2-3 years olds classes. You can tell she loves the children. She is amazing. Highly recommend place. I had my kids at a couple different schools before St. Vincents. I finally found the best in the area and don't plan on leaving.

My daughter would build up nerves on our way to these other preschools and I would leave her crying every day for several weeks. It would break my heart. It is really hard as a parent to drop off your child/ren and go to work knowing they are in good hands and will enjoy their surrounding. I have that peace of mind when I drop off my daughter at St Vincent preschool every morning. The teachers are very committed and involved with the children. You can see the love that radiates from the teachers to the children and that is comforting. My daughter comes home from school and teaches me a thing or two, how everything will be ok by just having faith and respecting one another. It's incredible how many friends she has made and how independent she has become with the help of the entire staff. I have seen my daughters vocabulary grow and her faith blossom. I am very pleased with my daughters development and I encourage parents to bring their children to St Vincent to share the same experience.

He is polite, calmer and overall a happier kid. The techniques they use to teach are working. From the "stop, determine, do" method (which we try and practice at home too) to math processes, these teachers really get it. The kids feel happy, included, understood and most of all respected.
