What People Are Saying About Us:

 

“The love and care you have given our daughter from 9-1 has meant so much to us. She has adjusted well to a school routine and it's been so comforting to know she is in great hands all while singing songs, dancing, making art, making friends, learning about Jesus and so much more. At the age of 2, our girl climbed to the very top of a rope ladder at the park a few weeks ago and said, "with God, all things are possible." She was sitting on the edge of the fireplace recently and was holding a small book open and was basically preaching, "God loves you...and you....and you! And God loves everybody!" We give you and your staff all the credit for beautiful moments like that!! We are most grateful for Celebration Academy. "

“Celebration Academy has become our second home! The school culture and nurturing environment has strongly supported my child in his spiritual, emotional, and academic growth. I am constantly impressed at how teachers and staff genuinely love each and every child. The skills, manners, and happiness that my child brings home on a daily basis is the most reassuring feeling as a parent. We love being a part of Celebration Academy’s family and are proud of our school!”

— Darcy D.

“Celebration Academy has been a part of our tribe in both parenting and educating our 3 children over the last 4 years. We Are so blessed to have been given the opportunity to experience a school that shares the same beliefs and values of our family. The size of the school is perfect, as it captures a sense of community and opens the doors for many relationships. Our children are loved so well by every staff member and most importantly learn about the love of God.”

— Lindsay K.

“We could not be happier with the Kindergarten program at Celebration Academy. The small class size and half day hours were just what our daughter needed before transitioning to a full time 1st grade program. She was very prepared for 1st grade and her school’s entrance testing showed she was right on track with other children her age. We now have our second child in Kindergarten at Celebration Academy and again are so happy with the program. We love Mrs. Darrell and her approach to teaching. She is very nurturing and loving and she makes learning fun for the kids. She is very approachable, quick to respond to parent emails, and excellent at communicating with parents on a regular basis. We have been very impressed with her individualized approach to the class and that she does not take a “one size fits all approach” to the students. She is able to identify strengths and opportunities for each of our children and really focus on those. Our children have not only academically excelled, but also significantly grown spiritually and emotionally. It has been such a blessing to partner with a school who shares the same values and beliefs as our family, and who teach the children about God’s love daily.”

“My son is always so excited to come home and show me what he’s done (even if it’s just a green for good behavior) and tell me all about his day! Thank you for making each day so special. He has learned so much. You (Ms. Kellie) and Ms. Raquel really put so much into teaching these kids and it doesn’t go unnoticed :) He can write his name and he can spell his first and last name! We are working with him at home and can see so much of what he has learned at school! Thank you so much for caring like you do to help these sweet babies learn! You have made an impression on him and he sees school as exciting and fun! As a teacher I love knowing that my child loves school and to learn, but as a mom this is so much more to me because I know he is safe, loved, and wants to be there!”
