Schools in Cedar Rapids, IA

“Calvary Christian is a great center. My daughter is excited to go there everyday. The teachers are kind, patient and genuinely care about the kids. Communication with the director and the staff is open. We love that the kids get outdoor playtime year round (if it's not TOO cold). The rates are competitive, the facility is clean, and as my husband says, it's got a good vibe.”

“A MUST READ******I want to start this review off with saying, this is by far the hardest review I have ever had to write.Normally I am looking for the right words to provide constructive feedback, however with summit I don't have the words to describe how INCREDIBLE they really are.Mrs. Rachel is their to greet your child every morning, no matter the weather conditions. She even opens their door and provides a positive attitude that immediately starts your morning off right. She's incredible to say the least. And a great cook to all of the students at summit.Larissa, (which is the director of operations) immediately makes you feel like you are a part of the summit family upon walking through their doors. She makes you feel like you're a part of the family and she hasn't even met you.Each and every one of the teachers and staff have this overall attitude about them that you just can't explain in this review. You just know that this is what you have been missing this whole time.Thank you Summit teachers for all that you do. Thank you for being passionate in what you do. We have star football players making wages that one could only pray that teachers see someday. You guys are the ones next to doctors and hopefully someday we acknowledge our teachers more than we do now.Our 10 year old daughter refused to get up and go to school. She begged and begged to stay home with her family. She had trouble with anxiety and bullying to some degreeSummit has changed our lives. Our daughter has missed maybe two days of school all year. Her first day of third grade they stressed the importance of friendship and kindness. They made the kids get to know each other like you don't see in public schools. They have made compliment books that each student compliments another student on. Our daughter literally is friends with the entire class. She is a different person.She is happy and so are we and I wish that everybody could experience what we have at Summit.”

“Really enjoy the new ownership and the positive changes. My son loves his time there and seems to truly be cared about by all the great teachers and staff he interacts with.”

“This is a fairly new center for my daughter and we have loved it here. She is always excited and happy to go to daycare and always comes home with stories about her day. Staff is also always so easy to talk with.”

“I have had three of my children in Isaac Newton. Two of them started in public school. I moved them here because the public school partly because we were unable to get the teachers to partner with us in our children's education. The first year our kids had to ramp up, since INCA is at least 1 grade level higher in all curricula compared to the public school. The teachers were very helpful to our kids during this time. They maintained the standard while encouraging the kids and building a more robust work ethic in them. Once the kids got caught up, the teacher have worked with the kids and us to maintain their grades. My youngest started in this school and has found her stride at an early age. This is a great school for those parents looking to partner with a school in giving their children a Christ-centered education. The school teaches biblical worldview consistently applied in all areas. The teachers and administrators live it out. The students are even able to get prayer support from the staff. The school provides a great education and maintains a fair level of discipline among the students. In my assessment, this is the best school option in the area for those looking for a Christ-centered education for their children.”

“We’ve had an amazing experience at the Cedar Rapids center. Our little started in the two year old room and is in the Early Preschool room now. The teachers are kind and loving, and my little comes home talking about her good day and her funny teachers. Any incidents with other kids have been handled promptly and professionally. The director is incredible. She bends over backwards to try to accommodate. Her asst director and the education coordinator are always pleasant & well informed. Wish the price was more competitive though!”
