Abundant Life School

I love this school! My daughter has been here for two years and I couldn’t be more happy! My son attended a different school that closed. At that time I was devastated thinking I could not find anywhere better. I WAS WRONG! 1. The staff and students care about my daughter. Not only do they pour into her the love of Jesus, but they pour in knowledge, life lessons and family support. 2. The curriculum is awesome. I have been a fan since my son used this 8 years ago. 3. They have a full service kitchen. This has helped my daughter to be exposed to foods that I may not introduce her to at home. 4. Communication! If anything happens with my daughter like, she falls, has a bad day, makes a poor choice the teachers are always there to communicate this information with me! I love this school and the staff!!

My daughter loved the staff, who have been with the school a long time (low turnover says alot to me). She basically spent most of her preschool years here starting at age 1 and grew up having the same peers throughout. I don't recall having any issues. It's pretty structured.

My Son went to this school. Teachers are very caring , take care of his food, studies and games. He also watches good programs on TV at school. Plays all kinds of sports and games. He loves the school. Now I am planning to send my younger one too here. I would suggest a Half day program than a full day program as most of the afternoon is about nap and watching TV and playing in the ground

I went to tour this school and received a take home enrollment package. The teachers seem nice. My issues are: 1.). ALWAYS READ ALL PAPERWORK CONCERNING YOUR CHILD BEFORE SIGNING!!! I was reading through the paperwork and saw a paper that said “you agree that if anything happens to your child while in our care, we are NOT responsible”. That was where the buck stopped for me. I don’t care who has my child, if my child is in their care they ARE and WILL BE held responsible if anything happens to them. I was in awe and asked what it meant. The lady told me it meant exactly what it said. I then asked her if my child cut her foot on a nail (because they are “recarpeting for forever” and she said they would not be responsible. So my next question was do parents actually sign this?!?!? She then says “it’s pretty standard”.... no it’s not and I told her that. I’ve visited many schools and never have I ever been asked to sign something like that! 2.). They also asked me to sign a form stating that because they’re a church daycare, they’re not required to have fire alarms as long as they notify the parents. My thing is just because you don’t HAVE to do something doesn’t mean you shouldn’t! They should WANT to voluntarily do whatever they can to ensure the children are safe. Her response was “we have fire proof doors”.... what? 3.)They ask for your child’s social security number. I asked them why they needed this and their response was “we need it just in case you don’t pay”..... what? Wouldn’t you ask for the parents social? I was later told by someone else who works in that industry that it’s actually for state funding for food and some places try to double bill the state. Idk how true that is but it was odd to me. I am aware that church daycares are unlicensed but that is no excuse. I actually ended up visiting Adventureland at Heartland church and as soon as I walked in, I knew it was perfect for my child :). They never asked me to sign a form releasing them of responsibility! They actually had me sign a form assuring me they would care for my child if any (God forbid) accidents happened and they accept full responsibility. It’s clean (and beautiful) and everyone there is nice and they show in every way they care about the children. LOOK elsewhere! Our children are far too precious to be another number or paycheck to someone else. Make sure they are in the best hands.
