We have been at GPA for almost a year now. There have been a lot of growing pains over the last few months but the front office has been fighting to maintain as much consistency as possible through it all. I have high expectations as a former early childhood educator and childcare center director myself and I have the upmost faith that things are headed in the right direction with all of the recent changes. Shoutout to Mrs. Ruth and Ms. Cait in 3B for being amazing with my sometimes very difficult 3 year old ;) They adore him and give him the structure and consistency he needs to succeed. He has learned SO much and talks about all of his Bible stories and all the things he's learning in class ALL THE TIME. I can't speak highly enough about this school.
Since the ownership has changed, this daycare has gone downhill. Prices have gone up while the quality of care has gone down. The class sizes have become unmanageable for the teachers, and it’s clear that the children are not getting the attention or care they deserve. On multiple occasions, my daughter was sent home with a severely irritated and bleeding bottom, showing that her diaper wasn’t being changed properly. When she wasn’t feeling well, the co-director refused to call me — she was admitted to the hospital the next day. There’s also an ongoing ant problem that still hasn’t been resolved, and both of my children have been bitten multiple times. When I’ve tried to address these issues, the co-director has repeatedly been dishonest with me. I’m extremely disappointed and saddened by how far this daycare has fallen. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, but until then, I would strongly caution other parents before enrolling their children here.
My kiddos have attended GPA for the past 3 years. The education and environment has remained consistent throughout this time. The management is amazing, and all of the teachers are there for the right reasons. My oldest has better penmanship than I do, and my youngest is learning beyond his years. GPA feels like home away from home.
I have two grandsons whom have been attending GPA for the past 8 years. They have grown so much, and have flourished with knowledge. Whenever I go to pick them up, the office management always greets me warmly and has some funny stories to tell me of the boys. I couldn’t think of a better place for my grandsons to be.
We've been sending our children to Guidance Prep Academy for the past 5 years, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The staff is absolutely amazing - kind, caring, and truly invested in each child's success. We love the emphasis on Christian values and teachings. It's so comforting to know our children are learning important life lessons in a safe and nurturing environment. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found GPA. It's more than just a school; it's a family.
