This review is specific to THE DISCOVERY LOUNGE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM which is the…read morebefore/afterschool program directed by Cynthia Smith and is housed at QCSS but not affiliated with the school. I wish that QCSS would get rid of this program and find a better one. This is a warning to all parents, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THETHE DISCOVERY LOUNGE BEFORE/AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM. https://www.thediscoveryloungease.com/ The Director, Cynthia, charged me today (9/23/22) for the TDL  program, after stating that 9/16/22 would be the last time I would be charged, being that I removed my child from the program on 9/2/22 and he has not attended since. I removed my Kindergartener from the program after only about 2 and a half weeks because she contacted me several times for MINOR instances that should have been managed by the "highly trained" staff at the program. Cynthia contacted me with an attitude and a loud tone of voice and even made a personal attack on me verbally. I am a single, working mom and this has caused extreme stress, anxiety and frustration for me. I have to be the mother and the father for my child and I do discipline him and work with him as much as I can at home. I do my best to teach him proper behavior but he is a 5 year old at the end of the day. I truly feel that he was being ostracized and labeled in this program. It's like she was trying to get him out of the program instead of working with him. Some people do not need to work with kids. Cynthia's lack of professionalism has brought me nothing but distress that I am STILL dealing with it since I got charged AGAIN. I cannot afford to be charged for a program that I am not involved in. She has shown ZERO accountability for overcharging me. No empathy at all. I would recommend that people STAY AWAY from this program unless you want to deal with a constant struggle, being contacted at work every day for the smallest things, being personally judged and attacked. Hopefully no other parents have to deal with what I have been through.

Steel Creek Elementary is a great school. I'm really enjoying this school year at this school…read more This is our first year here and some of the highlights are it's no uniform, each student get free breakfast and lunch and the administration is amazing. The PTSO is very involved and has a load of programs and activities. One down side is the car pool line. It's huge!!!! You may have made it to the school on time but the wait to actually drop your kid off at the door will have them late. I'm glad the school recognizes this and is kinda lax with tardies. Overall I'm very impressed with the school and hope we continue to have a great school year. Steele Creek Elementary 4100 Gallant Ln Charlotte, NC 28273 2017/2018 School year

This daycare has amazing facilities and teachers and extracurriculars and administration and... It's such a relief that my children love going to school (sometimes ask to go on Saturday). It's also a relief to see how well they are prepared for the future during this key developmental stage of life. PS the landscaping is amazing too. And the organic gardening. And weekly water play. And haircuts on site. And soccer shots on site. And Charlotte Ballet on site. And even child yoga on site. Seriously one of a kind.

Our youngest just entered kindergarten after two wonderful years in the preschool program. The curriculum is more advanced than our experience at CMS, and our kids are encouraged to challenge themselves while being fully supported. They actually enjoy going to school, which says a lot. When our son needed help with reading, he received in-school and after-school tutoring at no cost. Teachers are communicative, with weekly check-ins and extra updates. Every teacher we've had has gone above and beyond. The admin team is engaged and present at drop off and pick up daily. BCCA goes beyond academics with events that build confidence, character, and community. We're so grateful to be part of this diverse, supportive school. Highly recommend.

A hidden gem in Charlotte with great educators, small classrooms and a close knit environment for…read morekids. My son attended the TK(transitional kindergarten) program which is mostly 5 year olds with late birthdays that miss the CMS cutoff for kindergarten and he really loved it and learned so much within the school year. The classroom consisted of 12-15 students with a teacher and assistant with a very structured curriculum, uniform dress and chapel attendance mid week. The tuition is very affordable, if you don't want to send a lunch daily they provide lunch for an additional fee. The school has TK-8th grade and is growing yearly. My only concern is the after school program which is not very structured and when dealing with 5 year olds structure is very important, so if you have smaller kids attending, I would advise finding an alternative for after school care.

Every teacher has been so caring and wonderful. We thank God daily for Back Creek Christian Academy and the opportunity to have our son in such a wonderful school!

Ms. Maureen was my son's teacher when he was in the three year old class. She made the class fun and rewarding. It made me wish that we had sent our daughter ( his older sister) there for the three year old program instead of just the four year old program. Our children both had Ms. Julie for the four-year old class and they LOVED her. She had a way of tapping into their artistic side and letting them explore their imaginations through play and art. They also had a religious education and a physical fitness program that was included with tuition. Both of my children are now in elementary school and are exceeding our expectations with their academic abilities. I have to credit Stepping Stones for laying the foundation for their success. It is what Kindergarten used to be. Getting children ready for school while teaching them how to get along.
