Calvary Christian Day Care Center

Paid the $250 registration fee and had my son there a total of two (half) days before I removed him from this school. On his first day I was not allowed to walk him to his classroom. I was never introduced to his teacher and had no way of communicating with her. She sent home the most ridiculous remarks on my son's schoolwork the first day. She was more concerned with informing that my four-year-old could not color in the lines than sharing how his first day at school went. As a mother, I do not care that he can't color in the lines (he's four - what do you expect?!). I want to know how he adjusted on his first day. Did he cry? Did he make a friend? Did he eat his lunch? She did make sure to let me know we had "to work on these things (coloring and tracing) at home" through her comments on his work. Early on, when I was trying to register my son, I tried contacting the director multiple times (sent emails and left messages with staff) and it took almost a week and a half for her to get back to me. This alone should have been a red flag. I quickly got the impression that the staff is incompetent. On the second day, my MIL went to pick up my son early and no one even bothered to check if she was on the pick-up list or verify her ID.

I have called this school for prices and they never answer. They have very bad communication skills. Parents assume because it's a christian school that there are the best. I called another daycare and they were able to give me information very quickly. If I could give them a 0 star I would what a disgrace.

We have never had a problem with this school before the new principle took control. My daughter is dyslexic and we put her through tutors, and summer training to get her caught up to where she should be. The new principle knew this but still tried to put my daughter even further behind where she should be so we had a meeting. During the meeting she just kept degrading my daughter and then she proceeded to throw a book across the table and told my daughter "Well fine then read this". This is a child how can someone expect a child to perform under those conditions. At that point I had to remove myself due to the disrespect my daughter, my wife, and myself were facing. The principle then comes into the hallway and says how she supports us being in the military blah blah blah. This was proven to be a lie because a few months later we get an email that she unenrolled my daughter 4 days PRIOR saying that my daughter wasn't adequate for the school despite her teachers vouching that she should proceed to the next grade. This principle preaches that she is a "godly" woman but she is nothing of the sort. She degrades, humiliates, and then tries to justify her actions so she looks good to her board. She claims that we are not looking out for the best interest of our daughter when we keep our family together despite being dual military. This woman does not support the military, child development, or the beliefs she claims to have. Be aware putting your child in this school with this person in charge influencing your children.

The social interactions I've had with representatives of this school were awful. While discussing that, I learned that parents from other schools who attended sporting events with Cavalry we're also disgusted by Cavalry behavior. I wouldn't want my kids exposed to this type of Christian, much less taught by them. I cannot speak to the school's academic performance, but in my experience, more intelligent people are not as nasty.

I have two children at CCS. It is an excellent school. Everyone there is a caring individual who works to the maximum at nurturing and teaching the children. I have been in education since I taught the Fourth Grade at Edgewood Elementary in 1967-1968 in San Antonio and CCS is the best school for children that I have ever personally experienced.
