My children have gone here since pre-school, the staff really loves the children. It is like a family being there. My son had a few learning problems and the teacher gave him 1 on 1 support to get him through. They have great family events through the year and really care about the families. The new upgrades to their security is great and really makes me feel great about having my kids at the school. I wish they went through high school .

My Child was on the wait list at this school. I received a phone call they had a spot and was asked to sign up for FACTS payment management system and turn in enrollment docs that FACTS was how to process enrollment fee. I emailed back enrollment docs and proceeded to sign up for facts. I immediately received an email back confirming enrollment docs were received but my child needed to be fully potty trained. I returned the email right away and stated I didn't want to risk loosing any money so please give my sons spot away and cancel my enrollment. I was emailed back that sorry enrollment fee was processed and questioned if I thought I could get my son potty trained. I asked if I lost my money already and never received a reply. I then reached out to FACTS and they said they would not process anything until 07/08/2021 to contact the school and have them terminate the pay plan. The school is refusing to cancel my payment plan but they reduced the enrollment fee to $50. I am getting charged $50 & I also have monthly installments they have access to charge until they choose to cancel the enrollment. I would be perfectly okay paying an enrollment fee had I wanted to keep my spot or even if I felt I had taken to much time to reply and decide if I wanted to risk it but I think this is robbery at this point. As soon as I was informed of this requirement I backed out. They have the question on the enrollment form "What stage is your child with potty training?" it then doesn't say its a required. I wonder how many people have signed up unaware of this paid a registration fee then can not attend this school. They do not even have to issue a refund at his point they simply just have to terminate the pay plan. This is absurd.

Excellent! Our experience is that leadership as well as teachers and staff all have the students' best interests in mind at all times, and are prayerful in their approach to all issues. Our son's class is very advanced, as compared to his best friend's class at a local magnet school; I can't speak to other classes but we appreciate that class levels are small so if it's an advanced group of students, they can move quickly through material and then move ahead.

Overall it was an above average experience. Retrospectively, I don’t think we would have stayed at the school as long as we did, as issues with both children dealing with things, was not addressed fairly and consistently.

Had a really odd experience when touring this preschool for my child. The lady showing me around had me fill out paperwork even before the tour (um, why fill out paperwork when i don’t even know if i want my kid to go here?)... then all she cared about was what my husband did for a living, rather than ask me questions about my child... it seemed very odd and that her (or the schools) priorities are very different than mine. No thanks.

PVCS is, in my opinion, the best this county has to offer! The staff are so dedicated and really believe in teaming up with parents to prepare these kids for life! My son went to 1 year of public school in town and that was all I needed to see. I was back at PVCS and will continue to send my kids here. The curriculum is exceptional and the staff is even better!

This school is exceptional in every way, from the caring, dedicated staff to the truly unparalleled leadership of the principal. Her wisdom and love for the families at this school is evident in every decision that is made here. I find it appalling and rather sad that someone would stoop low enough to attack this woman's character and leadership ability. If what this disgruntled individual said was actually true, PVCS would not be the successful, thriving school that it is and has been for 23 years. Mrs.Wilson's godly leadership is exactly what I look for in a principal. Students leave this school prepared academically and spiritually to impact this world for Christ...My children have had wonderful experiences here, and I couldn't be happier.

I have to agree with the person who mentioned poor leadership at this school. My child will not be returning next year. If you are accepted into "THEIR GROUP", then your child will be given extra attention and extra priviledges. Susan you are not what this school needs!!!!
