Lea's Christian School

It's interesting that a review from Crazy R has been on Yelp for a very long time, and this child never attended this school so this review is fraudulent.

This school is too mean and strict. MY son comes home every day exaughsted and sad. Too much home work and makes him stress crazy

As I retrospectively think back to the time my son was 5 years old and enrolled at Lea's Christian school's kindergarten class, it still infuriates me because not only was he treated poorly but so was I. The parent/teacher/ and principle conferences were a lot of finger pointing by the principle. She made me feel as if I was not involved enough with my child's education and his needs. Ludicrous! He's my world. He is now 9 years old going on 10 years old this July. He is extremely bright, on the honor's roll, and has received an award every year. We work with him as much as he needs. We feel the freedom to let him grow as his own individual and not hover over him due to pressures placed by the school. I truly think a lot of private schools take your money and only want to deal with docile children who can sit, follow orders, and obey commands. They can care less about individuality. The more cookie cutter each child is, the easier they can conduct BUSINESS.

My daughter went to Lea's for one year. She was in the Lion Cubs (pre-k) with Ms. Stump and Ms. Stanciulescu. I must say they do an outstanding job. Having my daughter in Kindergarten now, She continuously receives praises on how advance she is. It validates that this school does an amazing job developing kid's academic and social skills. They had a academically rigorous environment but they always made learning fun. They expose kids to science, theater, art, and music at this young age. The have a very tight knit community between parents and teachers. There are regular fundraisers and requests for parent volunteers. but we didn't mind because we know it helps keep tuition affordable. Really early on in the school year, I could notice a difference in my daughter counting abilities and letter recognition. Some great highlights for me where- trip to zoo, school performance, a binder with a collection of all their years work, and a mini graduation ceremony.My daughter loved this school. And I loved seeing her growth, all her school projects, and listening to her sing a new song every other week. Thank you Lea's for the leaving such a positive lasting impression on my daughters first school experience. I see her thriving in school and I know it is because Lea's set her up for success.

This review is specifically for their Teddy Bear and Lion Cub program.  It's with sadness that I write this review. Not because of any horrible experience I've had at Lea's but rather because we unfortunately had to part ways with the school due to us moving. I'm surprised by the bad reviews as I have had nothing but a lovely experience with Lea's.  The preschool was my son's first exposure to school and I credit it for him doing so well when he moved on to Kindergarten elsewhere.The preschool teachers had years of experience between all of them. They were all great and not only got to know my son but our entire family.  The teachers had a equal balance of discipline, structure and education along with fun and play, so I was impressed that my son wasn't just socializing at 3 - 4 but actually learning as well.  At 3 he started writing letters...by comparison my other child did not at another school.  The whole staff also does an awesome job with their plays / musicals.  They are fun to watch and engage not only each class separately but the whole school. The teachers put a lot of work into it with both the planning and coordinating the kids and it shows. From what I hear there may be changes in the staff and program since we've stopped coming but I still recommend checking them out for the great program that they've established.  They are a "small but mighty school" but what they lack in size they truly make up for with a big heart. Thank you Ms. Clarke, Mrs. Jackal, Miss Rynazewski, Mrs. Stancilescu (sp?) and Mrs. Stump for 2 awesome years in my son's education!
