    The first few years of a child's life are such important learning years. When we moved to the area,…read moreit was imperative to us that we find a preschool with warm, caring adults in a christian community that support development and an educational curriculum, while allowing children to have fun and explore with curiosity. We found all of that (and more!) at Smyrna Christian School. SCS has helped our child learn how to play, work together, and establish great friendships. They have continuously provided materials/activities that interest our child (and challenge her!) They have encouraged our child's efforts (which has truly aided in adding to her confidence.) They set clear limits for behavior (which is appreciated!) I love always receiving our child's drawings, writings, and crafts at the end of every week. They encourage parental involvement (which goes back to the whole "community feel") and welcome parental participation with class parties. How beautiful is that?! I truly cannot say enough GOOD about this establishment. Before we found SCS, our only-child went to a "glorified daycare" preschool and for so long, we didn't know how much it was hindering our child. It wasn't until we moved and enrolled at SCS that we saw our child turn a complete 180 in every aspect of her life that we realized what EXCELLING truly meant. I am forever grateful for SCS (and my only complaint would be that I can't keep our child here for kindergarten, too!)

    My daughter goes to half day Pre-K at Smyrna Christian School, and we cannot say enough good things…read moreabout the staff and the facility. Every morning we are greeted with a smile and a "Good Morning" from Miss Jodi in the office, and all along the hallways my kiddo happily says hello to all the teachers. They're all very friendly and engage your child in conversation which makes them feel seen and heard, and important. She just loves talking with them on the way to her classroom. Her teacher is Miss Vickie, and she just adores her. She is kind and attentive, and a wonderful human being. My daughter has learned SO much this year, and she loves doing it! They learn Spanish, colors, numbers, writing, and she even comes home telling me about the fun centers they have in class, and how silly George Washington's wig is! I love how happy she is there, and how much she's grown in her independence and knowledge. I'm convinced that a better school does not exist. Truly, it has been the biggest blessing for our child. I wish they taught kindergarten so we could stay!!

    My son went here in Kindergarten (2007) and I am so thankful that it was only one year he went…read morehere. Here is the story........ I got a call from the school one day because my son was sick and they needed me to come and get him. So I put on my shoes and headed toward to the school. 2.9 miles total I lived from the school. So I arrived at the school and as I was walking in to the school the Assistant Principle was walking out of the front doors. She stopped me and asked me if I had seen a little boy, I replies No and continued into the school. I looked back and saw her and another woman jogging down toward the road. I go in to the office and tell them I am here to pick up my son. They call his teacher and she said she sent him to the office, he should be in there. Well he was not. So I check the bathrooms right down the hall from the office and he was not there either. Then the light bulb went on in my head and my stomach dropped! Oh My Goodness, that way my son the assistant principle was looking for! So I immediately got in my car and headed back towards my house. NOW, this school is on a main road with no side walks, 45 mph speed zone, and semi trucks galore! I'm praying that my baby is OK. As I turn off of the major road on to another major road I see three cars stopped on the side of the road and the people standing out of their cars all looking down! My heart sank, panic sunk in, and tears started flowing. I thought the worse, please don't let my baby be hurt! I jumped out of my car and ran over to them. Thank God! My son was standing there with these complete strangers, the assistant principle, and another teacher. Apparently, my sons teacher told him that he had to go home because he was sick, my 5 year old son took him literally, got his backpack, and walked out of the doors, and started walking home. A passerby called the school to inform them that they saw a student walking down the road with a backpack on, that is how they knew they were missing a kid! A different stranger was pumping gas at the gas station adjacent from the turn he made on to the other major road and as he drove over to my son and stopped him and called the police. Thank god this was not some creepy child molester or something! Anyhow, my 5 year old son walked .25 miles on a busy roadway with no sidewalk until he was stopped by a stranger. The stranger told me he called the cops and the assistant principle said " I don't think there is a need for that" REALLY???? And then she had the audacity to look at my son and say " You know you are not suppose to do that, you could have gotten yourself hurt" HOLD UP..... Don't tell MY child he was in the wrong for going home like his teacher told him to. He was 5 and his first year in school and he did exactly what he was told. He was not told to go to the office ( in which he shouldn't be allowed to go alone to anyways) he was told to go home. The cops came we filled out a report. The man who stopped my son from walking further told me he would testify for me if I chose to sue the "h**l out of them" but I didn't pursue it. I did however go off on them for the negligence but never filed anything against them. I was told they have put in a buddy system since that incident happened and I believe that they still till this day use the buddy system. I am so thankful my son was not hurt and I am glad it taught those teachers something too. So, needless to say, I pulled my son out of that school when the year was over and never returned!

    I love this school. My daughter is in kindergarten and she loves it too. They do have a buddy…read moresystem and they do a lot of work in the community which is good fir Antioch.
