Bethel Manor Elementary School

The teachers and staff are check collectors. If you have a problem, good luck trying to talk to the principal or the vice principal. Both are non existent. The staff will talk about you in front and behind your back. And they want to stop the bullying among the kids. It starts at the top. Considering removing my child from this school next school year.

I regret ever sending my son to this “school.” What I thought was normal separation anxiety was actually genuine fear that my son experienced going to daycare each day. My son’s “teacher” was very unpleasant and seemed bothered by any of my questions or concerns. I never trusted that my son’s daily report was filled out correctly and he had constant issues with diaper rashes (he likely wasn’t changed often). I arrived to pickup my son early one day and noticed him outside on the playground. I decided to observe him for a bit before going inside and was horrified to see him bullied by another, clearly older child with no intervention from staff. They weren’t even supervising the children; they were too busy on their phones! I couldn’t have removed my son soon enough. He’s since started a different, much better daycare and the change in his behavior is astounding. I wish I could take back the months my son spent here; I feel so sorry for the emotional toll it took on him. I’ve since learned that other children have been physically harmed while attending this daycare, and I just can’t imagine what my son experienced behind closed doors. Staff members have shared pictures of moldy food in the refrigerator and described issues with roaches and fire hazards. I was also extremely disheartened to see how depressing the meals are that they serve these poor children; inmates are eating better. Overall, I can’t in good conscience recommend any parent send their children here. I implore you to please find literally any other place to keep your babies safe and free from harm.

Summit Christian Academy has been a fantastic experience for our family. Our children have grown so much in both knowledge and character. These teachers want our children to excel academically but truly care about the hearts of the students. We love the classical Christian education and discipleship model.
