"There are a lot of dogs everywhere but not many places for dogs to play free. Most places do offer nice-sized backyards, but the gates often aren't very secure due to them growing old over the years."

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a great school with many amazing long time teaching staff. I am so glad I sent my kiddos here! The great schools rating is not accurate for how fantastic a school this is. I’ve learned you cannot look at the rating to pick a school. My children are supported here and love to learn which is the biggest win. I feel like it’s a regular school similar to what I went to growing up before teachers started teaching according to standardized tests. They let kids be kids here and the teachers are great! The student body is diverse - all races and income levels which I feel is healthy to expose my child to. One of my kiddos is on an IEP and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the IEP support staff. My child is catching up! My son’s teacher told me her kids will go to school here. I know a principal of another school that sends his children here. I heard the after school care program is probably the best in the district/state. I have met with the new principal and she is a lovely lady that has made lots of amazing changes to the school like an extra recess for kiddos (helps them learn better after getting all the wiggles out and very needed for my adhd kiddo). The specials teachers are all great too.Parent Review2w ago16 Reviews - Holy Love Preschool & Kindergarten

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe are in our 4th year at Holy Love. My first child attended for 3 years, my 2nd child is in her 2nd year and will continue for another 2 years - that will make for a total of 6 years at Holy Love! I visited many schools before my firstborn started preschool and this one just blew me away with how involved the teachers are, wonderfully scheduled, the staff has been working there for SO long, it runs like an amazingly well-oiled machine! The teachers are all so loving and gentle, highly, highly recommended!Parent Review15y ago2 Reviews
