Very disorganized, we were so happy to move away from the school. There were a few teachers that were amazing, but still overall we had a horrible experience at this school and so we're so happy to be done with that nightmare.

I started at St Albans as a parent and loved every aspect of the school from the staff, to the students, to the facilities and everything in between, so much that I started working at the school. That was over 7 years ago and I have never regretted my decision. I have never met teachers and administrators with more love or patience for every child. I have seen teachers go above and beyond for their students, including neurotypical kids and children with developmental delays. During COVID especially, I saw this community rally. Parents, teachers, and administrators came together to do all that we could for the students. Teachers drove to houses to drop off materials, to see students from a safe distance face to face to show them how much they are cared for and that this community was stronger than ever.At StAlbans, the teachers focus on the development of the whole child, not just academics. The teachers help these kiddos learn and grow with a foundation built on God, love, family, and academic excellence. The preschool focuses on learning through play, which is wonderful for small children! StAlbans does not teach students to a test or consider them just a score. They help children create, explore, imagine, and grow.As a parent and teacher at StAlbans, I truly appreciate the open communication. All preschool teachers share photos of different events regularly and the school constantly has several options for parental involvement, including volunteer opportunities, classroom activities, chapel performances, and much more. Teachers have conferences with ALL parents at the beginning of the year and are in constant contact with parents through email, phone calls, and during daily drop offs and dismissals.My children and I have found a home with this community and I am beyond thankful for all that StAlbans is and does.

Calvary provides a structured and safe learning environment with small student to teacher ratios. The principals, teachers and staff are very accessible. The fellow parents and students become like family. The curriculum is heavy in language, reading, and math. Calvary not only teaches our kids to excel in the classroom, but also helps prepare them to make good decisions in the real world.
