I have had three children attend Neighborhood Academy until they were old enough to start school. This is an exceptional place! I love the Montessori program they teach. It helped prepare my children for Kindergarden. Each of my kids tested high when I enrolled them at All Saints Episcopal School. So, instead of putting them in Kindergarden, All Saints put them in their Pre-First class which is more advanced than Kindergarden. My friend's son also went to Neighborhood Academy. She enrolled him in public school. He is in the Gifted and Talented program public offers. She said he blew his Kindergarden teacher away at how advanced he was! Lubbock is very lucky that Becky Neighbors left being a TV news anchor to open Neighborhood Academy. It made all the difference in my childrens' performance in school and I know many others as well.

Neighborhood Academy is by far the best child care option in Lubbock. In response to Melissa's post, yes, they are expensive but you are paying for quality child care. My son has been enrolled for almost 2 years and there has been very little staff turnaround. The class size is very small. There are only 8 children in each class for children under 18 months and there are two teachers. That is a 4 to 1 ratio ! Because they take fewer children, you have to pay a little more. I love the webcams in each room which allow me to check on my son throughout the day. The staff are all experienced and knowledgeable and many of them are certified teachers. I love the fact that they begin an academic curriculum begining with the 12 month olds. The Montesorri approach is used with children of every age, so the kids are constantly engaged and learning new things. As for the uniforms, almost every private school in the country requires children to wear uniforms. If you are looking for a regular daycare, look somewhere else. If you want excellent childcare and a private preschool look no further.

This place sucks. It looks great when you do the tour and such but once you enroll you find the teacher turn over is VERY high, the prices are WAY higher then other places for the same kind of care, the owner is jacking the prices up to make it more like a private school, and they are VERY strict with dress codes. Not to mention they are making a huge profit off the shirts the kids are REQUIRED to wear.
