What Parents Say
Calvary Nursery School has overwhelmingly positive reviews praising the caring teachers, structured learning environment, and strong community feel. However, recent reviews cite serious concerns about the former director's rigid, inflexible management style and reported discriminatory practices, though a new interim director has since taken over.
We love Calvary! I have my older 2 there and plan to send my baby there too. It’s a great way to give your children an introduction to the classroom and social interaction without a full time commitment. It starts at 2.5yo 2x a week for 2.5 hours and then goes up to prek 5x a week for 3 hours. They also offer after care and full time daycare. We love ms Beth, the director, the organization and structure in place give way to a safe and fun learning environment. Most of the teachers have been there for a long time and are really good at what they do. My daughters both love going to school and I’m very thankful for that.
We couldn’t be more grateful for the three years our daughter has spent at Calvary. From day one, my husband and I knew we had found something special. It is truly such a caring and loving environment where our daughter has developed a genuine love for school and learning. The teachers are incredible. Their passion shines through in everything they do. Our daughter genuinely loves going to school each day and we’ve been so impressed watching her grow and learn. While we’re sad to see her move on to kindergarten, we feel confident she’s well-prepared thanks to the strong foundation she’s built at Calvary.
Calvary was the perfect place for our now 4 year-old to start her school experience. It creates a warm and comfortable environment for the student and the whole family. We are sad to have her graduate this year! But we are happy and excited for our second daughter to join the Calvary community next Sept in the 3 year-old program.
We have been nothing but thrilled wit the education, care and community for both of our kids. The teachers and support staff are so wonderful and truly get to know each child and their families and come up with a plan to fully support each individual child. Highly recommend!!!
We've had two children at Calvary since 2019 and have always been happy with the staff. Our older children went to a different preschool in town before we knew about Calvary, and we prefer the experience at Calvary. I've read the reviews about the former director being rigid and I believe that is because she had to follow decisions made by the Board. We never had a problem with her and wish her the best in her retirement now. There is a new interim director, Beth Kulik, who was my son's teacher last year. She's wonderful and I hope she stays on as director for the long term. All of the teachers from Kassandra and Enza to Sue and Kim to MaryBeth and Renee to Beth and Jen, now Jen and Melanie, have been the most caring individuals, truly invested in our children. We have one more year left at Calvary and will be sad to leave!
