Here's what folks are saying about us

Melody C

"My little girl went for several months (we moved, sadly) and it was hands-down the best experience. For one- the whole church and staff practice actual Christian values and morals. No fear-based stuff. Everyone is accepting, loving, caring, and shows such understanding and compassion to one another. The teachers were all fantastic, and they keep you updated on the daily activities with TONS of adorable snapshots of the little ones. Academically, they're doing everything right. My daughter (now almost 3) loves to read, speaks very well, knows all of her colors and numbers, has incredible manners, and nearly does a backflip if you mention crafting. (They craft it UP over at Gardenside.) Peggy and her staff went above and beyond my expectations, and I was a new Mom who was very anxious regarding the safety of schools in this county. Cannot recommend enough. They're a hidden gem."
