We withdrew our child when our child told us Ms. Peggy (teacher of the blue room) spanked our child and the other students in the class. She SPANKED our kid very hard. Our child told us she especially spanks the younger kids in class. My child told me there was a young boy that get punished (spanked) several times throughout the day because he doesn't listen well. Not only she put her hands on our child she told our child to keep it a secret because she would also punish the parents if the kid was to tell. Our child also mentioned the assistant arguing and yelling at Ms Peggy for spanking students. The school has cameras in each classroom. The school administrators have to know Ms.Peggy spanks kids. She is a horrible person. I am glad my child was able to tell me. It would kill me if my child never told me. If you love your kid DO NOT consider this school!!! The world is already a crazy place. School should be a safe zone and I hope no parents have to ever experience what we been through. We are putting this horrific event behind us. We just wanted parents to know about the school!! You been WARNED!!!! Don't take a chance or any risk when it comes to your kids!!!

My child loves going there now and asks for his teacher even when he's not in school, which is a great sign! Also, they work with the ELC program which helps get help to pay for tuition.

The school also offers a wide variety of engaging activities, and they have always found ways to include my son despite the challenges his allergies can present. Their commitment to making every child feel welcomed, safe, and included is something I deeply appreciate. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for a caring, supportive, and well-managed learning environment.

I'm extremely disappointed by my experience with this school. After a direct conversation about my…read moreson's potential enrollment, I sent a thoughtful follow-up email and received no response. That lack of communication is unacceptable, especially from a school that claims Christian values. My son required only one accommodation: access to a teacher or counselor when he feels anxious. He has excellent behavior and is a kind, compassionate child. After fully explaining this, we were told the school could not meet that need. It is deeply concerning that there is no counselor available, especially while there are plans to expand to a high school campus. Any school, and certainly a Christian one, should have trained counselors and support systems in place for students. As Christian parents, we are intentional about raising our son in a strong church community and equipping him spiritually. We sought a school that would partner in that, not turn him away for needing occasional guidance. Scripture calls us to "carry each other's burdens" (Galatians 6:2), yet this experience reflected the opposite. I urge the school to seriously evaluate both its communication and its ability to support children who need care, wisdom, and guidance.

Greetings Dear Reader,…read more You are reading the most honest review about this school. This is from my experience in the application process after speaking with a prominent staff member at the school. First, we acknowledge that Jesus is King. And that to our children belong the kingdom of heaven. Raising our children right with the fruits of the spirit will lead them to our Father and to our savior Jesus. Parents have a direct role with the raising of our children and our teachers are not far behind in what they do for our children. A christian school is to be led by strong christian men and women. These "leaders" are to exemplify what it means to be christian and a follower of Jesus. This includes showing love, enduring joy, having inner peace, being kind, demonstrating patience and gentleness, exuding faithfulness and goodness and having self-control. We must understand that no one is perfect. Everyone has endured pain, stress, anxiety, etc. However, as a leader in the classroom/teacher the lowest hanging fruit is patience, gentleness, self-control and love. You need to be patient with the children, gentle when they are in need of gentleness, self-control when it is asked and above all love when the kids need it. Based on my initial experience and what i was told, this school and its staff do not have the tools or experience to fully direct the path of these kids in the way I feel a christian school would. Everything happens for a reason as God is never without intent and direction and He does not change. From knowing what I know now, I am glad that our light will be brought elsewhere and that my sons light will not be dimmed by this school. Love conquers all and Jesus is King. Thanks to all who read until the end.

From yoga to music class, letter sounds or climbing the rock wall outside, she is engaged and continually learning throughout her day. It's not just me who finds PWA to be an outstanding educationally centered preschool. My friend, an elementary teacher in the area, says that children who attended PWA come into her class ready and prepared for kindergarten. In addition to the exceptional learning environment, PWA goes the extra mile to promote a clean and healthy environment. The school is very clean and all children wash their hands when they arrive at school and throughout the day. My daughter likes the food and I like the meal choices/healthy snacks. All of my daughter's teachers have been warm, organized and responsive. I can see what my daughter is learning using the school's communication app. This is a huge plus for me - her teacher uploads pictures throughout the day, we can chat and share documents digitally. My daughter wakes up and wants us to take her to school (even on the weekends). As a working mom, it's such a blessing to find a preschool that not only teaches my child but also genuinely cares about her. Thank you PWA for all you do.
