Private Schools

I was not ready emotionally to put my almost 3 years old son in a school. My son and I came to creative children's center to check it out as a potential school for the following year. My son instantly loved the classroom set up and fit right in. Teacher Lucy observed that and recommended we do a full day observation to see if it is the right fit. My son and I fell in love with the implied philosophy of the school and the knowledgeable, helpful and caring staff and ended up signing him up right away. We have been here for 2 years and have recommended the school to other friends who have done and loved the creative summer camps. I absolutely recommend the school to everyone who wants a school that encourages learning through play, imagination, diversity, outdoors play and independence.

Very good school, the teachers care about you a lot and are always there for you. They push you to be your best. The faculty also push you to strive for your best when they can and are normally very busy. Great classes, and they have a good understanding of what the students want.

One of the best school in the area

Most of the Children are learning how to be friendly and courtesy individuals. The environment, the atmosphere, ciriculum and the staff have done a great job in the Children's learning.

St. Francis has an amazing and supportive community. It’s inspiring to watch our children grow not just as students, but also as caring and Christian people.

Peaceful

Close minded - legalistic - its thier way or the highway!! They miss the mark of God's inifinte grace and mercy one for another.Ask one of the followers, "when was the last time you invited someone outside your church over for dinner?" 9/10 will answer never!

It's been four and a half years since I first dropped my infant son off with Katy and her teachers at PCA (it was called Kids Kastle at the time), and we have been so pleased with our experiences that I was shocked to see the negative comments on this site. Although the complaints are all old, I felt moved to share our experiences at PCA to offer some balance. I felt so vulnerable those first few months of leaving our first baby behind, but the infant room teachers (who are both still at PCA) are so calm, caring, and competent that the days and weeks quickly turned to months, and before we knew it our little one looked forward to being there (which made leaving him much easier). I was always amazed by the grace and wisdom of the teachers as well... if our first child rolled or crawled or walked for the first time at school, I never knew about it. I still don't. The director, Katy, is always available to us, responsive to concerns, involved in the everyday activities of the center, invested in the success of the teachers, and knows all the kids' names! We never considered any other option when our daughter was born in 2009, and we have had the same great experience with her days (years) at PCA. Each time our children have moved up to new classrooms, we have been so pleased with how the teachers quickly get to know them, support their learning styles, and work to give them the interpersonal skills they will use all their lives. I guess the best way to capture the last few years is simply to say that the team at PCA has helped us raise our children into the good people we want them to be, and for that we will be forever grateful. If your are considering PCA for your kid(s), Katy has my contact information and can put us in touch. :

We couldn't have found a better preschool for our kids. The teachers and staff are incredible. They fully prepare students for kindergarten in a fun and creative environment. St. Paul builds a strong foundation for a future of learning.

I love this school! Mr. T (the principal) is such a nice and helpful person. He truly cares about everyone and tries to help when he can. I've never seen a principal stand by the front entrance school doors outside on some mornings and greet all the students and parents coming in. This is a very personal touch that I really enjoyed. The gals in the front office are really responsible and helpful. If you call during school hours, Monica will answer the phone right away and help with whatever you need (some schools ring and ring and ring). If you email her, no matter how busy, she'll email you back promptly. I love all the teachers my son met there, all the staff, even the after school staff is super on top of it. Can't say enough good things about this school. Sad we have to move😕

Both of my kids Graduated from this school. Both went on to college and are doing well! This school teaches kids discipline and excellence.
