I recently went in for a scheduled tour, my family and I are black and hispanic. As soon as we entered the woman we were meeting with (I believe her name is Tracy) was not very friendly or approachable at first. The "office" area is the entrance way of the "school" which honestly the setup does not feel like a school it feels like a daycare. Most facilities I visit have an actual spacious office where the kids can play and the adults can speak. There we no toys for the kids so of course they were excited and bored especially being able to hear the other kids. Tracy looked at my kids, held her hands up and said "I know they are excited but do they have behavioral issues or ADHD?" She already asked that over the phone when I was scheduling and I told her no. I can see if this was apart of a list of screening questions but it was not. She glared at my kids the entire time and told them "you have to be able to behave and listen" she also tried to convince me to hold off from enrolling them for a year because they may not be ready as if this was some elite college prep program. My son then decided to speak with her and after speaking she looked at me and said "has he been tested for speech?" I said "no, he just turned 4 in September." She said, "he should be tested because I am assuming he is learning Spanish and English at home." I answered, "no. My children only speak and know English." Once I was actually able to peek at the open floor class setup (which in my opinion is not great for attention, focus, and learning) I noticed the staff was not smiling, friendly, warm. The staff actually seemed very miserable. If I could rate this a 0 I would. My children will NOT be attending this place. Microagression is real and my children will not learn in an environment where they are judged before being spoken to for being excited children. You should want children in your facility who are excited to learn and excited to see your facility.
I absolutely love Ark Angels Christian Preschool! From the moment I walked through the doors,I felt a warm, loving, and faith-filled environment. The staff genuinely care for each child, providing not only excellent education and social development but also instilling strong Christian values. My child has grown so much here—developing important social skills, confidence, and a curiosity for the world around them. The teachers are patient, dedicated, and go above and beyond to create a safe and engaging space for every child. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed and involved. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my child is in a supportive and caring environment where they are encouraged to thrive. I highly recommend Ark Angels Christian Preschool to any family looking for a high-quality, loving daycare!
Called to inquire about my son starting at this preschool and prices for ages 3 and 4 and the options for part and full time to see about affordability and the woman on the phone acted like I was being ridiculous for even asking. Don’t want to send my child to a place where you can’t even ask a question. Rude service. Don’t recommend.
We've been at Ark Angels for almost 2 hrs, and I don't have a bad thing to say about it! The staff is so loving and attentive. The owner/director is very present and on top of everything that goes in the building. Since the first week my daughter has started there, she has come home with some new knowledge and just blows me away. Since she's turned 2, they have been diligent with potty training. They're outside playing multiple times a day. And they provide the meals, which is so convenient! I can't recommend them enough!
We love everyone at this daycare. Tresia the owner is natural and makes nutritious meals for the kids which i love! It is not easy to find a daycare that loves up to your standards espeically when it comes to being all natural. On top of that my daughter was having trouble at a previous daycare crying everyday... we brought my daughter to this daycare and she only cried the second day.. after that she has had a smile on her face everyday! I am so grateful I found a place like this. I finally feel like my children are not only safe but taken care of. My son also came home begging me to go back!
