My daughter has been attending the preschool for the past 3 years, she is in the VPK program this year and I cannot say enough great things about the preschool teachers. My son also attended this school before going to public school. I went to alot of preschools in the area before settling on Guardian

Another thing I like about this school is the programs they put on and involve the children in, Thanksgiving play, talent show, fashion show, Lutheran Schools Week. My child loves her teacher and although she is young she wants to be a teacher just like her teacher. I truly feel that the preschool has prepared her well for the start of kindergarten. Great job by the staff and especially the preschool teachers and the preschool director, Paula. Read less

In public schools he actually had a teacher make fun of his reading. We don't have this problem at GLS and he loves the Christian atmosphere. The faculty, staff and most definitely the principal are great assets to the school and do wonderful jobs. Read less

Some people cannot accept change and view it pessimistically before giving the changes a chance to prove themselves. This is a top-notch school with good, caring teachers and principal.

My child attended this school for a few years. I liked the small class sizes, academics, and some of the teachers. I didn't care for the lack of extracurricular activities and the current principal. I think she tries, but I do not think she has the necessary skills to handle her responsibilities effectively.
