Springfield Christian Academy

Ms. Sallie, who is the lead teacher in the toddler classroom is an amazing teacher! She genuinely loves and cares for all of her children. My daughter LOVED her!! She took the time to build a relationship with her and worked with me to address any issues that happened. On the other hand, there are a few staff members who were extremely rude and disrespectful towards me. All I did, during my daughter’s time there, is smile, be nice, and mind my business. Some of the disrespect I received was completely unnecessary and inappropriate, especially at a Christian-based academy.

My child had been a part of the Springfield Christian Academy School since she was 3 months old. We have always had a positive experience with them until this school year. My child was in the Per-K class this year at Springfield and things have defiantly changed. My child came home on December 16, 2022 and told me that her teacher had yanked her up by her arm causing her to be in pain to the point that she was crying. When addressing this issue with the director on December 19, 2022 she quickly took the side of her staff and decided to question my child without a parent present on the situation. Also when talking to them more about the situation as well as the teacher the story about what took place on that day kept changing and it didn’t add up. On December 19, 2022 I requested to see the video footage of the incident that took place but the director, assist direct, head of HR and Security gave me the run around for weeks and informed me that we could have a meeting to discuss the situation after the New Year on January 3, 2023. At the meeting the head of security informed me that it would take too long and too much man power to look through 8 hours of footage and wouldn’t be doing that nor would he be showing me the video. After getting in contact with Bright from the start on January 13, 2023 they informed me that they would investigate the situation and request the footage. On February 2, 2023 Bright from the Start reached out to me to let me know that Springfield no longer had the footage so they claimed and that the investigation was closed. Springfield failed my daughter and didn’t protect her so I would advise all parents to not send their kids there. They care more about their reputation and staff then they do the safety of our children.

Great Christian Academy, a loving and nurturing environment for every age! Low classroom ratio,two teachers in every class ,nutritional meals and snacks. Top safety and security !
