  From the very first moment I walked into Waypoint Preschool for a tour, I was greeted with such genuine kindness and sincerity. I immediately knew there was something special about this school. Our daughter has developmental delays along with complex medical needs, including multiple environmental allergies and autoimmune encephalitis. For her, environmental exposures don’t just affect her physically, they can also impact her cognitive function. As a mom, finding a school where I truly felt she would be safe felt almost impossible. Then we met Ms. Carol Ann. She is an absolute rockstar! It is so evident that she takes her role seriously and loves every child at Waypoint fiercely. Everything she does is intentional. After learning about our daughter’s medical history and environmental sensitivities, she immediately went above and beyond. She informed her teacher, the entire staff, and even spoke with the cleaning crew to make sure everyone understood how important it was to keep the environment safe for her. That level of care says everything about the kind of leader she is. Both of our children attended summer camp, and it exceeded every expectation. Each week had a different theme, and the creativity, activities, and projects were incredible. It was obvious how much thought and planning went into making every week special. The biggest gift was seeing our daughter thrive. During the entire month she attended camp, she never experienced a physical or cognitive flare. That gave me incredible peace of mind and confirmed she is in a safe environment as she prepares for Transitional Kindergarten this fall. Our son is three years old and had never been cared for by anyone except me. He has always struggled with separation, so sending him to camp five days a week was a huge leap of faith for both of us. Ms. Makayla was absolutely amazing with him. She knew exactly how to support him on the days he missed Mommy while helping him build confidence and independence. By the second week, he was waking up excited to go, and by the end of the summer he was happily jumping out of the car each morning to see his teachers and friends. Watching his confidence grow has been such a gift, and we know he is ready for his three-year-old class this fall because of the loving environment they created. One of the things that stands out most about Waypoint Preschool is the culture. Every teacher we met radiated genuine joy and kindness. You simply can’t fake that kind of enthusiasm. The teachers support one another, love the children deeply, and truly create a family atmosphere. The communication has also been incredible. Every question or concern I have shared has been met with warmth, understanding, and kindness. As a parent of a medically complex child, that means more than words can express. We are especially grateful for Waypoint’s Transitional Kindergarten program. There are so few programs like it, and for our daughter it is exactly what she needs. Rather than repeating preschool, she has the opportunity to continue growing, building confidence, and preparing for kindergarten. Finding this program truly felt like another one of God’s perfect provisions for our family. If you are looking for a preschool where your child will be deeply loved, genuinely known, and cared for as an individual, I cannot recommend Waypoint Preschool highly enough. We are beyond grateful for Ms. Carol Ann, Ms. Makayla, and every member of the Waypoint family. They have given our family so much peace, and we are incredibly thankful to have found them!
