We are so happy to be Back at LCCA. My older son was here for preschool and Pre-K and we had the best Experience. I feel like he was more than prepared for kindergarten! Now, I’ve started my two year old and we are so excited! He has some separation anxiety but he walks right in there like it’s his favorite place in the world. We are so thankful for the teachers and staff! I 100% reccomend sending your child here!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a teacher with a lot of knowledge about this Christian school, I have been consistently impressed by the supportive and nurturing environment it provides. The school's commitment to integrating faith into education is truly remarkable. The staff's dedication to the students' academic growth and character development is evident in every aspect of the curriculum. It's a privilege to be a part of this wonderful community that values both academic excellence and spiritual growth.

LCCA is the only place I trust to have our grandkids. They are compassionate, loving, and want the best for all the kids. The curriculum is is great and it prepares the kids school. The staff is there to love our kids and make them feel safe, that is what I look for in a program.

My son had been at a day care from the time he was 8 weeks old to 3 years 4 months. We moved about 30 miles away and thought we found a perfect preschool/daycare. Soon we found out it was a nightmare. (Once his actual teacher started and the sub was gone)Every single day he would bring home notes that would say he was disruptive at nap time, he did not share a toy with a friend, he ran out of the class room, he was loud and disruptive, he pinched a friend, he threw a toy at a friend, he hit a friend, he hit a teacher. Yes, the hitting and throwing things was alarming and new. This was not behavior he had before at his old day care. Moving and being placed in a new daycare seemed to be affecting his behavior. The consequences for all of this was he got to go to the office and sit in a chair with the director. while she tried to talk to him about what he did. I reached out to his old day care for help. They said he was a great kid and that he did not do well with change and 2-3 weeks in to moving classes he was fine. We told them this and they seemed to not believe it.One key factor is that when we got there, there was a sub for 3 weeks because his teacher was out, his sub was pretty understanding and wonderful. Again we have identified he did not do so well with changes. WeThen his teacher came back, after 2 weeks we were sitting in the directors office with a letter we had to sign acknowledging that if the behavior did not improve he was going to be kicked out. They mentioned the spectrum and that we should make an appointment with his doctor. I knew immediately they thought he had some kind of autism or something similar. They also mentioned over and over about how he didn’t nap… he was 3 years and 5 months old, some kids that age don’t nap anymore. They suggested a weighted blanket for nap time. Not sure how that is going to help a 3 and 5 month old kid nap if they have outgrown naps. I asked the sub how he was with her and she said he was fine and that adjusting was taking him some time, but she believed he would be fine with time…. I took him to his doctor, that has been his doctor his whole life, the next day and the doctor was quite surprised by what they said and shut all of the spectrum talk down. He said if we still wanted help like a behavior specialist he would refer us. We said yes anything to help.We went for 6-7 sessions. She also stated she didn't believe he was not in some kind of spectrum. At the same time we started looking for another day care and luckily found one that was caring and understanding. They understood changes for some kids especially at that age can be hard and that it can take time for them to adjust. Fast forward 2 years he was still at that day care doing great. Fast forward another 2 years, he is a straight A student. Kindergarten was great, 1st grade was great, 2nd grade was great, now he is in 3rd grade and thriving. I understand his behavior was not acceptable, some understanding on their part would have been helpful. He also told me he was told that he was a “bad kid” who tells a 3 year old they are a bad kid. At a sensitive age thinking you are a bad kid is not ok, at any age it is not ok. Please be aware of some of these things before you place your sweet, energetic, and silly boy here. They must still take naps too…. And they have no training on how to help and nurture a child who has had a lot of recent changes and is not adjusting well.

Do NOT send your children to this school. If you demand bullying stop your child will be penalized in the long run. The headmaster is a misogynist that has no business being allowed to have anything to do with children. The curriculum in mathematics is subpar. Nothing is done to stop bullying and physical attacks from other students. My child was traumatized on a daily basis and after several meetings we decided to remove them from this school.
