We have wonderful experience with Delaware Christian Academy. The Director Christina is an amazing person, and really everyone around are truly dedicated to create a safe and pleasant space for the children. They go above and beyond to ensure the parents are heard and that the children are taken care off. I have witnessed true care and warmth that I have not seen in any other pre k schools. Our kids are thriving and the teachers are top notch.

Would not recommend. They are always complaining and singling out your child instead of coming up with ways to help children. They will charge you extra for potty training and then complain about having to actually help potty train the child. They do not assist the kids during lunch time - they would leave a 2 year to eat alone with no assistance. My child always came home hungry, yet his lunch box was full of food that I packed in the morning to be eaten at the daycare. When he gets home, he eats all the food in the lunch box that he didn’t eat at the daycare. So the issue was not him liking the food, it was the staff not assisting/guiding him to make sure that he was eating. They made my son feel like there was something wrong with him and no child should be made to feel that way. The director was of no help. She was always sending threatening emails that left my family feeling uncomfortable and unsettled.
Currently,My son is thriving and enjoying his new daycare with no complaints. I am glad we removed him from Delaware Christian Academy.

Happy to be a part of the DCA family! I was welcomed with open arms into the culture of being known, valued and loved. The partnership of stewardship is impressive and biblically sound. The embodiment of Proverbs 22:6 is expressed in the carefully and prayerful ways each teacher prepares and executes their teaching!

I have worked at DCA for the past 3 years and it has been one of the BEST places I have ever worked. It isn't just a place to work, they have become family. I love the Christian atmosphere and being able to freely talk about my faith. I am so thankful and blessed to be a part of DCA! <3

It has been exactly one month since my child was "disenrolled" from DCA. I have gone back and fourth about whether or not I should post this because I know it doesn't change what has happened and won't result in any justice for my son. However, after speaking with a number of professional including the psychologist who dx my son with ASD, the speech pathologist that has been working with him for over a year, and the director of special education at our local school district, and the validation they have provided to us that it was wholly inappropriate that my son was "disenrolled." Additionally, because no one else will, I feel it is my responsibility to advocate for him and warn anyone who is in a similar situation who is looking to enroll their child here.Short version: If your child has any kind of disability I would not recommend this place... they may not tell you this until your child has been enrolled for 8 months and then give a 2 week notice for you to find somewhere else to go... but I will tell you now they cannot "accommodate" your child.The long version (severely condensed because I ran out of characters): My son was enrolled at DCA in January 2023. He was dx with a speech delay in August 2022. We called DCA and they put us on a waitlist. I filled out the initial paperwork and turned it in. Prior to him starting I get a call from Rachel asking me about the disabilities I mentioned in his application. I told her he was dx with a speech delay and that we were on a waiting list for an ASD evaluation. She asked me to clarify why we were getting the evaluation and asked if there were any specific behavioral or safety issues and I assured her there were not. She responded with, "Okay, that should be fine then."He starts in January and for the first week we are checking in with the teacher Miss Amber on how he is adjusting. She doesn't say much more than he had a good day. However, by Friday of the first week I'm having a meeting with the director, Christina, who, to my surprise, informed me that my son was having a "difficult time transitioning." I told her that none of this was either told to my husband or I verbally nor was it documented on the sheet we take home at the end of the day. She said she would make sure Amber was putting down feedback. She asked me if there were things that they could do to help him with the transition. I gave a number of suggestions. Fast forward to February when the speech therapist from HMG went to observe him at school and I was later informed that Amber was complaining that my son was in her class and "can't he go to a special program" that she can't deal with him (nor the other boys in class). I was livid when I heard this and almost pulled him out then. I had another meeting with Christina in which she was immediately defensive of Amber before I could even get a word out. We concluded that meeting that Amber would start keeping a journal about all of the concerns she was having. The concerns consisted of him screaming when he had to come in from outside and taking other kids food at meal times. Eventually these issues were resolved and all of the entries were the same that he "had a good day."He switched to a new class @ 2.5 and the same was the case that mostly he had "good days" with the occasionally difficulty with transitions (again not developmentally inappropriate for a two year old). There was NEVER a safety concern brought to my attention nor was there ever an incident report created. My son was dx with ASD on August 5th. On August 17 I get an email that he is being "disenrolled" for his dx b/c they cannot accommodate his disability and given two weeks notice. No accommodation was being requested as they had been "accommodating" him for 8 months with not safety issues. He should have never been enrolled or Christina should have informed us in February that we needed to find somewhere else to do should he receive the dx b/c she knows it takes a

This place has been so great for our two boys. They offer well structured programs, teach manners and my kids look forward to going to school each day. DCA is highly recommended by me!
