Community Christian Day School

My experience with this school was incredibly disappointing, and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone, especially if your child has any special needs. We enrolled our three-year-old, who is on the autism spectrum, with a clear goal in mind: to provide him with an opportunity to learn and adapt to a classroom environment before Kindergarten. We were fully committed to ensuring his success, ready to take all necessary steps, including starting with half-days and maintaining consistent communication with the school.
 
The initial appeal of this Christian school, which boasted "advanced" safety features, was quickly overshadowed. Within just three hours of my child being there, he was kicked out. The reason? He managed to open a gate on the playground during playtime. After the class returned to the classroom, it seems he was left inappropriately supervised, and he wandered back to the playground alone. Instead of addressing the situation responsibly, we received a call to pick him up with the explanation that "HE poses a safety concern."
 
What followed was nothing short of shocking and completely unprofessional. Before my husband even reached the school to pick up our child, our access codes were revoked from the doors, our camera access was disabled, and we were removed from the school's Facebook group. To add insult to injury, our child's belongings were piled up by the door, indicating a complete lack of empathy and respect for our child's situation.
 
In the parent handbook, the school proudly claims to abide by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a federal law designed to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum. However, our experience with this school suggests a clear disregard for these commitments.
 
This incident has left us deeply disappointed and distressed, and we strongly advise any parents considering this school for their child, especially if they have special needs, to think twice. The way we were treated was not only unprofessional but also hurtful. Our child deserved better, and so do others.
