There is a 3yo class teacher that does not belong with kids. Sent our son here from 2-3. While in the 2yo class everything was great. As soon as he moved to the 3yo class, things took a turn. I picked him up on day with red marks around his eyes, from rubbing his eyes so much while crying. It was the one and only time this happened anywhere. We suspect neglect. From that day on he hated going to daycare. It was a struggle dropping him off every day. As soon as we took him out of that class, things took a dramatic turn for the better. He now LOVES to go to his new daycare. Beware, pay attention to your kids when they express dislikes and don't let the daycare tell you 'it happens' and don't let things slide when something seems off.
I sent both of my kids to this center for 4 years. Always very welcoming, friendly staff and teachers. They seem to really care for individual student. My daughter had a hard time adjusting to the daycare at first. She cried out loud every morning. I was really worried but not only the main teacher but also the principal and other staff really helped my daughter overcome the situation. They tried every possible way so my daughter can enjoy her school life. They keep the place clean and organized. I wouldn’t know all the teachers, but I really liked all my kids’ teachers so far. My kids have definitely grown and learned so much while going to the day care.
I was looking for a day care or academy for my daughter. The facilities and environment were safe and pretty. First time I was worried about her first school in her life. But she loves it!! She talks a lot to me about stories during staying at the New Christina Academy. I was also impressed to see her class and was proud of her. And appreciate the teachers! Thanks New Christina Academy!!
I have sent my 2 children to new christian academy since my older one was 24 months old and younger one was 18 months old. This fall my younger one will age out and join our town public school system. Throughout the 5 years that both or 1 of my children were in newca care, I have truly never had to worry about my children while working. Yes it is not the flashiest place in the area… there are many newer daycare centers with brand new facilities. However, very few have the larger classrooms, a decent sized indoor gym and outdoor play area that newca does. The fact that the facilities are older is reflected in the pricing though and the value is absolutely worth it. Both my kids are picky eaters but enjoyed the healthy, delicious Korean food lunch served at Newca and learned to eat foods they otherwise would not have tried at home. They also offer non academic childcare services at a very reasonable daily rate during non major holidays (so clutch for those parents who work in fields that are not easy to take off from work on those random days that are “holidays” but not really?) As for quality of care and education.. ofcourse this is not Montessori school and I did not expect that (also, if you are looking for that, price will be double). However I see no discernible difference in terms of academics in my child vs others who have gone to more expensive daycares. As an example My oldest is currently reading 2 grade levels above her grade…her KG teacher at newca was sooo amazing and basically taught her to read (Bc I definitely didn’t!) … ofcourse this is purely anecdotal but thought I would mention anyway. 😅 If my child had a hard time adjusting or came home and said “I played alone and was sad today”, a quick text to newca and they would make sure to give a little more attention to help my child acclimate. Any injuries big or small, (and yes injuries will happen with active children!), I always received a text with picture and explanation of what occurred.. So in short, I highly recommend newca and will miss them so much!!
I absolutely love New Christian Academy! All the staffs are amazing and really cares of their children. My son loves the teacher and talks about the teacher's name at home ^^ If you want your children to learn well in a safe environment, this is the place.
