Read what parents are saying about Samaritan Child Care CenterI am impressed with the quality of care my child is receiving the teachers really seem to love the children in their rooms. We drop-off and pick-up at random times throughout the day and the teachers are always on the floor and engaged with the children. There is a younger floating teacher that is a little less engaged (although she is rarely in the room with my child). I am not always informed of everything that goes on in the classroom the daily sheets say things like ate well (without saying what they ate), gym time is not always mentioned, and I would like to know what my child played with during the day and/or any unhappy moments she might have had and I need to ask very specific questions in order to obtain the information. Administratively, this program could be run better. I would rather have a caring staff in a daycare than a business-minded staff, however the lack of communication/late communication (on things such as when the daycare is going to be closed) and the occasional billing mistakes can be annoying.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWent to this school my entire childhood, K-12. If this were being written back in the 80's, 90's or even early 2000's I'd recommend the school. It was different back then. You had teachers who wanted to see kids learn, grow and succeed. Yes it was a small school but it made learning more intimate. They kept kids in check, disciplined and motivated. The superintendent, principle and guidance counselor were leaders and you knew when you crossed the line back then. Now, its the complete opposite. Perhaps its just an era thing but teachers go too easy on kids. There's no control, kids don't want to learn, they talk back and do whatever they want. Fights are a normal thing with almost no discipline attached. Look at the news, the school had to shutdown due to fighting. Kids wear pajamas to school on a normal basis. The place looks like a slumber party between the way kid and staff dress. Most of the people working there graduated within the past 10 years and have minimal experience. The place needs a better leader, bigger budget and guidance. Enjoyed it when I went there a long time ago but shocked how much its changed. Friends of mine have all reverted to moving out of the town and pulling their kids from the school. One of them saw their kid declining in learning ability. He thought his kid was just goofing off in school. He'd ask him how school was and what he learned (elementary). His kid would respond with 'nothing' or 'no much'. After continually getting this answer he was positive his kid was becoming a bad student so he set a meeting with the teacher to correct it. Come to find out the teacher told him things are different now, we don't force education upon kids. We don't want to stress them out so we don't teach new things every day. If they want to learn, then they learn, if not, its not forced. He was stunned and no longer in the district.Other Review1y ago - Ps 2

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey need to do something about these rude teachers because how they are to parents and these kids is ridiculous and you gonna come across the wrong parent one of these days. Parents should be able to drop their kids off without a teacher having a smart remark or being rude smhParent Review6y ago - Watervliet Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended Redemption Christian Academy. I started in Pre-K and graduated from high school in 1994. Redemption has taught me so much. I have learned discipline, and to give 100% in whatever I do. I am currently a nurse and in-spite of my schedule I always find time to volunteer and give back. Redemption is a great school and program to prepare anyone for the real world.Parent Review1y ago
