  • Parents of little brown babies beware!! This school is awful, supposedly a faith based school but the directors Betsy and Janell are god awful! My son is a typical 3 year old boy, he’s full of energy, a rambunctious little guy, he does what 3 years olds are supposed to do! However, Larry and Moe seem to think medication is the BEST option for him because of his energy, he has tantrums, likes to run and all the other things that normal 3 year olds do. They will call and message you every single day for any little thing simply because they do not like your child. These women are absolutely disgusting labeling a toddlers behavior as aggressive is insane but Betsy had the pleasure of telling me “when we put our daughter on medication she was a completely different person” and Janell following up stating “ we had one child who was 5 years old, the only way she could come back to our school is if her mom put her on medication” If your child has any amount of energy please stay away from this place! The directors will pretend to be Pediatric Psychiatrists and tell you your child should be placed on Ritalin!

  • Before enrolling my daughters into Calvary Academy Day Care, I was a stay-at-home mom. Circumstances changed, and I had to go back to work, but I was very hesitant about putting my children in daycare. From starting off emailing back and forth with the directors and getting every SINGLE question I had answered, to touring the school, I felt this would be the best option for my daughters — and I was so right. Calvary has been like family ever since. I love getting updates on the app. My kids feel so loved here and are learning so much. If I could describe Calvary Academy Day Care in one word, it would be “intentional.”

  • The staff is very friendly, management is very welcoming. When I did the tour with my daughter I fell in love with the center and knew I wanted to enroll her. My daughter comes home everyday signing songs from Jesus time and she prays before every meal.

  • My daughter has been at Calvary since age was 18 mths. She's 5 now and is graduating preschool in a few mths. I have ZERO complaints. Calvary is amazing: the facility, teachers and staff. Ive recommended them to quite a few ppl

  • Calvary Academy has truly been like family to me and my girls for the past 3 years. Unfortunately, we had to move and leave, but the teachers and staff will always feel like a second home to us. Even the teachers my children never had in class knew us, welcomed us, and spoke to us every day. It’s hard to find childcare where you feel completely comfortable leaving your babies, but Calvary made that possible. The teachers and directors are absolutely astounding, and I am so grateful for the love, care, and dedication they showed my children. Thank you, Calvary, for making it so easy to drop my children off each day knowing they were in good hands. I will always recommend you to other families.

  • My child has been going there for some months now and I honestly love it great with communication and also send daily updates and I also get pictures my child has learned a lot since going there and always leave happy and loves going and I really like the location I feel at peace knowing my child is safe
