I wanted to enroll my son in the preschool. I have called the director once for information 2 days went by no call back. I called again she answered the phone went and looked. Filled out the paperwork called again to see when I should bring it in. No call back. I just showed up. Seemed surprised to see me. Said that day wasnt a good day to start. Are you kidding me? My son was crushed he wanted to stay and go to school. He Spent all morning crying and upset. She should of returned my phone calls. She spent more time apologizing then anything. Very disorganized and no structure. Taking my son to Kiddie Kapers now. Teacher is very nice with a good program in place.

About the Provider
The Noah's Ark Nursery School began in September 1991 in the St. Andrew's UMC. The school was established as an extension of our Christian Education Program.
The day care addresses the needs of families for quality childcare all year long. In our facility there are spacious rooms for the children to move about including a gymnasium and outside play area.
Noah's Ark Nursery is committed to the needs of children. Activities are planned to build a strong sense of belonging and the feeling of love. The staff love and understand children, and they seek to build each child's self-esteem.
