I cannot express enough gratitude for Challenger School and the incredible staff. Since we decided to enroll our son in March 2021, it has been the best move we could have made for his education and well-being. One of the standout qualities of this school is the patience and dedication of the teachers. They focus on working one-on-one with each child, ensuring every student receives the attention they need. I appreciate how the staff collaborates and engages with the children, guiding them rather than allowing them to wander off on their own. This structured approach has significantly impacted my son's learning experience. When my son started, he struggled with sitting still and focusing on tasks. Before attending Challenger School, he often cried about going to school, and we couldn't understand why. Now, he genuinely enjoys going to school, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment the staff has created. I also love that the staff knows each child's name and greets them warmly every morning and as they leave. It fosters a sense of community and belonging that is important for young learners. I want to acknowledge Miss Kelly and Miss Haily for their hard work and dedication to the kids, especially my son. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, and we are truly grateful. Ms. Sunny and Ms. Jesica have taught my son, and they are both fantastic educators. They go above and beyond to support their students, always displaying kindness and friendliness. We are incredibly grateful to have met them, and my son still talks about them fondly. Now that he has moved to the 4s class with Ms. Julie and Ms. Fay, we are excited for the new year ahead. My son has just started with them, and we are eager to see what this year will bring about his education and growth. In summary, Challenger School is worth every penny. The commitment to each child's success and happiness is evident, and we feel fortunate to be part of such a wonderful community. Thank you to all the staff for your hard work and dedication!

My daughter has wrapped up her first year of preschool and I'm happy to report that everything I said a year ago held true about the administrators and then some. I don't think I could have asked for better teachers than Ms. Julie and Ms. Vichiny for the care and support they have shown not only my daughter, but all of the students in classroom 101 last year. Special thanks to Ms. Elly and Ms. Francesca for all they did to keep the momentum going throughout the summer too! As for the substantive education my daughter received, all I can say is that it was great watching her grow this past year thanks in large part to Challenger. The quality of education here is wonderful. Their well-rounded curriculum not only balances your child's core subjects with art, Spanish, play time (there's a lot of play time, especially during extended care :)), and of course, nap time, but it is done in a seemingly fun way--the Challenger way. My daughter loves singing their songs so much I ended up buying the Challenger Phonics Fun set. . . . It's a nice break from the Disney stuff, and includes video lessons to help her take what she was taught in her classroom back home with her. I'm happy to say we're back for kindergarten and after my daughter's first day (which I was nervous about), she alleviated my nerves when I picked her up and told me how much fun she had with Ms. Henderson and Ms. Wheatley. We're looking forward to another great year at Challenger.

The staff at this school has been nothing but excellent from the start. My wife and I went on a school tour in 2022 and about 10 months before our daughter could even enroll in the pre-k program because she was too young. We were in the research phase of deciding which school we were going to enroll our daughter in between Challenger, Merryhill, Montessori, and UNLV Preschool. We communicated this to the staffer that gave us our first tour, and they were understanding and professional about it. The tour was informative, every staff member was so welcoming, and the school was very clean (huge plus). Fast forward to this past Spring where we narrowed our choices down to Merryhill and Challenger and we wanted to do another tour, and once again, the staff could not have been better. From the fast responses via email and phone when scheduling the second tour, and during the entire time we were touring the school again. So far we are happy to say that we decided to enroll our daughter here and we're confident we've made the right choice.

I was looking for a school for my son and researched many in our area. I mostly wanted concentration on academics and principles which this school by far surpassed any other. It is very clean and well put together, they are quite kind and care about your kids while teaching them the principles of life they so importantly need to know. In less than 2 months my son went from just knowing the alphabet to reading books. This is preschool by the way, I can't wait to see what is in his future. Here they know who you are and are very welcoming.. not just a number...Money well spent...Excellent education!
