Loving Arms Christian Preschool (LACP) has been a cornerstone in our family. Our oldest has been enrolled since 2010 and our youngest is also enrolled now too. We love what the school has done for our children, giving them a great basis for their future educational needs.The school has a very nurturing atmosphere where the children learn to love and respect each other as they grow and develop their interpersonal skills. I believe in the concept of their approach to discipline, they use a combination of 1 2 3 magic along with the conscious discipline program. This is an approach that also works in everyday life as a parent. The director Ashley Pease will teach classes, which are very popular, that you can attend and learn the technique that they use in the classroom. My husband and I found the techniques to be very useful and has created continuity for our children's school/ home lives.The classrooms are full of artwork and special crafts that they make through out the year. The staff are well trained and most have or are achieving degrees in childhood education. I know when I am talking with a staff member that they are really there for mine and my families needs. I love the educational focus that the school has along with the integration of faith. Each day they have a special day on the calendar, but on Wednesdays they have "chapel" where they come together as a school and learn and sing new songs.My VPK student knows more verses from the bible than I do. My heart melts when he has learned a new song and sings it for me.Through out the years that our children attended LACP we have developed relationships with good families in the community, the school for us has given us that "community/ neighborly" feel, which was missing when we first relocated in this area. I am proud to say, the people from the school, are a big part of family. I am so glad that I chose this school 4 years ago, and I would highly recommend them!
