    When the year first started I'd have given this school 1 star. I was looking at other schools and…read moreeven *seriously* considering homeschooling. I did not and still do not like the principal - she seems very plastic to me and usually sporting an expression like she has no idea what's going on but is doing a good job of faking it. The very first day when we were doing things "wrong" she in a very rude tone asked had we been at parent/teacher night before school started and we said no we were out of town. I didn't feel like there was a problem as I had spoken to my son's teacher before the first day. But what anyone neglected to mention was anything about procedures for dropping and picking children up so when the principal spoke to us using terms as if we had any idea what she was referring to it furthered my dislike of her. I have since learned this is her very first year not only at this school but as a principal period. That explained a lot. She's desperately trying to show off her capability but is going about it with too much effort so she looks scattered in anything she does. Parents are allowed to drop kid off in the morning after signing in at the office which includes them scanning your photo ID and being given a sticker with your ID and where you will be printed upon it. But parents are not even allowed into the building in the afternoon for pick up - not even the Pre K or kindergartners for supposed security reasons. Why it's different for the afternoon than morning is anyone's best guess. They are constantly begging for volunteers and cannot seem to figure out why they have so few when they have such a cold, unwelcoming, unfriendly policy for/with the parents. The very first week my 5 year old in his first year was given homework! This shock and astounded me in a very bad way. I even asked my father for confirmation and he agreed that when I was in school we didn't start getting homework until second grade. It's a very tedious "chore" to make a child that young sit and do a worksheet or two a night. I'm still not thrilled with it but there's not much I can do unless I do want to remove him from the public school system. I had problems with his teacher at first. My child had never been in any kind of school environment and I made this very well known to her. The 2nd or 3rd week of school she sent a note home 3 out of 5 days saying my child didn't do his work and would I talk to him about that! That upset me in about 18 different colours! What did she want *me* to do about a problem she was having with my child during *her* time with him. I was not going to punish him or curtail any activities because at age 5 he would have already dismissed anything said to him by her earlier in the day. A meeting was scheduled for myself, his teacher and the counselor. Then hurricane Ike hit! The school was closed for a week and two days. They opened a Wed almost 2 weeks before HISD did though the vast majority of teachers' and students' homes still had no power or water. I still find this lapse inexcusable! How could staff members properly prepare for a day with no water or power? How could parents properly prepare their children for school without power or water. Oh they said it was perfectly okay to not being the kids if there was no power or water on - it would just be excused absences. But now my child has 3 absences on his record that I do not think should be there at all! After the time off from the hurricane when he did get back to school my child suddenly got right into the swing of things and all the skills I'd told them he already possessed came shining through. A meeting was scheduled for me his teacher and the counselor only for a different reason this time. They asked was I okay having him go over to one of the First grade classes for reading and having him nominated for the gifted and talented program after the winter break was over? No I have no problem with that at all. I have since volunteered for the book fair {I got horribly sick too}. And have a much better relationship with his teacher and most of the staff. I am not sure if I will ever warm up to the principal ever.

    Very nice school the principal is a wonderful lady she knows everyone including parents by name.the…read morekids love her. All the staff take the time to get to know you kid and make him feel special an welcome.

    We are in the process of relocating to The Woodlands area from Northern Virginia. Our daughter has…read moreattended public school since she began her schooling and the schools in Virginia are outstanding. When we made the decision to move to the Houston area, we heard about how great the schools were and set out to find a great one for our daughter. We decided to look at both public and private schools. To us, the public schools were good, but they were absolutely enormous and the class sizes were HUGE. Someone told us the senior class at one of the Woodlands high schools was 1,000+ students - just the senior class!! We decided to keep our options open and decided to tour numerous private schools. In making the decision, we had numerous things to consider and yes, financing a private education was one. After touring various schools, The Woodlands Christian Academy blew the others out of the water. We were impressed by school, the academics, the opportunities and the facilities. However, what impressed us even more were the people - the staff, the teachers and the students. Everyone was genuine, welcoming and gracious. We didn't feel like a number or like we were sending our young daughter to college campus before she got out of elementary school. We certainly didn't feel like a stat on an enrollment sheet. Our daughter instantly said she wanted to attend even before we could finish the tour. We felt the same way. We LOVE the fact that this is a Christian school, but we love even more how they weave it into the day. It's who they are and it's who we are as well. We're SO excited for our daughter to start school! If you are a family who wants their child(ren) to get an outstanding education, have attentive and enthusiastic teachers (at the least every one of them that we met), learn in a Christian environment, have all of the opportunities of any large private or public school and be a part of a caring community/family this is the place. Yes, it's an investment, but I couldn't think of a better one - especially looking to the future and all of the challenges our children will face in the world. We walked out saying, "WOW" and I proudly recommend The Woodlands Christian Academy

The girl who ordered this was wearing a crop top, clearly out of dress code. What is this place? I feel the need to write this because even if I made some bucks, something isn't morally right for a Christian school. Can't tell if it was a teacher or tutor, but ID was 21.

This was the only daycare within the area that practice Parents Night Out(PNO) and they would do even by popular demand! When my financial situation changed, I got a nanny for a little while which abruptly ended. Due to not enough room at the time for my twins, I was forced to go to other daycares within the area. I NEVER enrolled my kids in the other daycares for unsatisfactory reasons. I emailed the owner at 3am with my concerns of what I was going through and at the earliest availability I truly needed help. Luckily, someone moved from the area and a spot became available!!! I learned that you get what you pay for and with this daycare you get a happy, healthy, satisfied child along with a peace of mind! This daycare is awesome and I recommend this daycare over any daycare!

Additionally, they did not call me once they knew. The elementary school where he was taken is who called me - thanks to my sons backpack having my phone number in it. When I called to ask what happened I was told someone was on their way to get him. 30 mins later he had not arrived at the elementary school. When I called again I was informed that the original person they said was on their way didn't show up to work and now the first bus driver was on her way. My son did not arrive at his correct elementary school for over an hour from when I received the first call. This is absolutely unacceptable.

They were one of about ten places I called and they ended up making the most sense for us. We drove our U-Haul on a Saturday and Sunday, and our son started school here the following morning. And for just over a year, everyone was really happy with the arrangement. Our son loved it, it was close by for us and his teachers really seemed to enjoy him. I don't want to understate any of those aspects: we were all as happy as we could be. The reason we're no longer at FCKA is actually another reason that we are grateful for the staff here. Our son has had some developmental issues and ultimately, they felt he would be better served at a different school that specialized in providing the type of attention he needs. This was a pretty self-less thing to say because it ultimately costs the school money to lose a student, plus a student that was loved by so many teachers, despite his difficulties. The only issue we really had with this entire situation is that it was a bit abrupt. We know our son is a handful. And often times, I would vent to the staff at pick-up or drop-off about how crazy he was the day before. But the reaction was always the same: laughter and something along the lines of "oh, that's the same guy we see here haha." So our impression was that they did not have any serious problems with him. This was the feedback from every person my wife and I ever dealt with. But then one day, we were told that it was actually a very serious issue, which we were taken aback by. I think what really sparked this is that they never re-opened the doors to allow parents to drop off or pick up kids from the room. We always had to wait outside, which generally led to less face-time with the teacher. Occasionally you would get a moment at the front door, but there was almost always a line of cars waiting, so those moments were always rushed. I understand it was probably logistically easier this way, but it was probably the one thing I would have changed about FCKA. We truly really enjoyed everything else about sending our son here and will always think of them fondly when we drive by.

We are new to the area and found…read moreit difficult to find a preschool that had great curriculum and staff with college degrees that wasn't affiliated with a church or considered a day care. WTH has been the ideal fit for us. All the teachers have at least a bachelors and many have a masters in teaching. Most have also been at WTH or teaching for many many years. When you step in WTH you can immediately tell that it's a real school environment-- they even have a library and lunch room. In a short period of time, my four year old is advancing really quickly. With in just a few weeks he's already holding a pencil correctly and writing his name (both things he didn't do at prior preschools). This was my two year old's first experience at preschool. I was a little nervous because he's never been cared for outside of our home. With in just a week he would detach with no problem and walk away with a "bye mommy." He's also becoming really independent through their encouragement. He'll bring his own things into school and put them away. It's also worth noting that the director is almost always present and is fully immersed in the activities at the school. I see her all the time from drop off to pick up. This preschool is absolutely top notch. Great teachers, strong curriculum and a really nice facility. We're happy to have found WTH!
