Baymeadows Christian Academy & Preschool

This school is what I could call a "classic" Christian School. The teachers, staff and support all exhibit Christian Characteristics aka Fruits of the Spirit. I can truly say that this school has naturally modeled my child to strive for these characteristics. From the very beginning of my son's time at the school it felt as though we were a part of family. Regardless of race, everyone respects and loves everyone. I am truly thankful for the teachers - both past and present that has poured into the students unselfishly. The teachers are very considerate when assigning projects, going on field trips or just having to spend money in general. Such a huge help when you're paying for schooling. This attitude has also filtered through to the children and especially my son. Such a huge hurdle to jump in today's culture. The small class sizes allows your child to grow in a way that would almost be impossible in larger school settings. This school uniquely embraces and propels each students learning level and ability. There has not been a year of my child attending this school that he hasn't scored above average, sometimes above grade level in reading and comprehension according to his standardized test. From what I understand, such is true for most if not all the students at the school, especially in upper grade levels. If you're looking for a school that is small, fair and friendly, this would be it. The only downside to the school is the lack of technology and resource classes. They definitely could use some help more technology in the classroom. And more resource classes. I really want to type all of the names of the teacher's and staff that are a great resource and impact to the school and my son. But I'll just name a few - Ms. Keil (Past), Ms. Zapcic (Present), Ms. Woods, Ms. Durst, Ms. Schnieder, and so much more.

As a parent, I am beyond disappointed with how this daycare and its administration handled my child’s injury. In January 2024, my child suffered a serious injury on their outdated playground equipment that required stitches and an ER visit. Now I’m finding out the medical bill has negatively impacted my credit, and despite reaching out multiple times over I’ve received little to no accountability or any follow-up. I have documented emails showing my repeated attempts to contact administration and the front office regarding this situation. Instead of taking ownership or helping resolve the issue, communication has been dismissive. What’s even more concerning is the bizarre explanation I was given that the receipt and records related to the ER bill payment were supposedly archived “in a cave.” Instead of providing clear documentation or straightforward answers about how this situation was handled, I was met with confusing and inconsistent explanations from administration. As a parent, it is incredibly frustrating to hear strange excuses instead of receiving accountability and transparency when the situation involved a serious injury that required emergency medical treatment. I trusted the front office staff and administration to properly handle this situation after my child’s injury because when I provided the ER invoice, the receptionist specifically told me that incidents like this were handled through the school’s liability insurance. Based on those statements, I believed the matter was being taken care of. Instead, over a year later, I discovered the bill was never resolved and is now negatively affecting my credit. Despite multiple follow-up attempts and documented emails requesting answers, I’ve received very little accountability or communication from administration. The administration and front office have handled this situation poorly from start to finish. Parents trust schools and daycares to prioritize child safety, properly document injuries, and follow through when a child is seriously hurt. Based on my experience, I strongly encourage other parents to ask detailed questions about supervision, playground safety, incident reporting procedures, and whether administration actually follows through after an incident occurs.

I don’t understand how this place is still open! A poor school, horrible teachers, the principal Zapcic yells at the children—honestly, it seems like she has never been to a school! How is this woman the principal of a school?! Please do not put your child in this school! And they ask for money every week. The school smells like a bathroom—something is wrong!

My son attended this school for 3 years and it was the worst years we had, a school poor in education, in respect and in conditions. Horrible teachers, the leaders are worse, my son always with D and F grades I really thought the problem was my son. So I decided to take my son to a public school and it was the best thing I did! Now my son who before was only criticized now only gets A and B grades, I only receive compliments about my son. These people call themselves Christian but they are horrible people. If you are thinking about putting your child here! Be careful you will ruin your child’s education. Also, keep in mind that the positive reviewers here are people who work there.
