Englewood Baptist Church Weekday Preschool

Don’t not send your child here if you value their safety! The school is so mismanaged and understaffed it puts the entire school at risk. Some days they have so few people working they have to gather ALL children in the gym and basically pray it works out. I had my son here for three years and hoped that with new Head Masters and directors the school would improve to the levels it was once at but it seems to have done the complete opposite. My son is on the spectrum which they were aware of for the past two years. I met with previous management to address concerns for my son’s education and safety in August 2024 and was promised the world. Only for all of it to be lie. They told me they would bring in people to train their staff regarding autism since NONE OF THE TEACHERS have degrees or credentials. I even offered to cover the cost since it was an important need for my son. I expressed my son’s needs for a stable environment and consistency. The school has progressively gotten worse since. I had hoped the new Head Master would deliver on the promises of the previous administration and the current directors had made but was met with skepticism on if autism is even real. I was pressured into placing my son on medication at 4 years old because the teacher told me on multiple occasions he could not be in her class if his ADHD was not controlled with medication. Then when I did place him on medication trying to help keep him in a class full of his friends I was told he is difficult on the meds and asked when is the medication going to fix him. My son uses a small stuffed animal to help him feel safe and regulate his emotions. Leadership was made aware from the start and I even verified with new teachers when he would move to a new class that they understood how important this stuffed animal was. Shortly after the start of this school year my son was told not to bring the stuffed animal back. No explanation given. My son started having more emotional outbursts immediately. I would beg the staff to help and was met with “we are praying for him” I met with the current leadership in November 2025 and they kept basically asking when my son would be fixed. I expressed again he is not broken he needs consistency and structure and he has a different teacher every day sometimes even by the hour because management has ran off every good teacher they had time and time again. When I asked for more communication from his “teacher” I was told “I don’t get paid for that” Two days after the second meeting they didn’t even have enough staff to allow my son to use his classroom. I know my son isn’t perfect but this current administration would rather blame the children stead of being honest with the poor leadership that has ran the school into the ground.

I would not recommend this preschool for anybody's child. It is unorganized and a lot of cover up. I believe they need a new director. Everyone is not made to lead. Please don't send your child there 🥺

I went to school here good times back in 2007

My daughter loves her teachers and has learned so much.
