Neighborhood Academy

Since 2004 the company has been providing Child Day Care Services.

My child attended NA for around 6 months. Straight up, I would not send my child here again. While there was some lovely staff, particularly the manager, we pulled our child out after witnessing over the camera system our child and another being disciplined in a very shocking manner. Firstly, it was in a manner contrary to state policy and secondly it was not at all mentioned as NA policy or cleared with us as parents. Thirdly, having been viewing the class for at least 20 mins there was no indication from either child that any discipline was warranted. We were never given a fair explanation and were told it was not appropriate discipline for NA. However, there were two teachers present and neither apologised or tried to prevent this occurring.
Additionally, while NA has some Montessori methods it is not truly Montessori in practice, particularly in the younger classes. If Montessori is what you are looking for, there are other places in Lubbock.

I would strongly caution parents before choosing this daycare. Please ask smart questions about the background and qualifications of the people who work there and be mindful of the state of the facility when you take a tour. If it is a true Montessori environment you are seeking, this is not it. We made a terrible mistake allowing our children to go here, and after two days we realized the gravity of that mistake and pulled them out. We lost money over the decision but it was very clearly the right decision. Please make a better choice for your family- take to heart the reviews of this daycare and know there are better options out there.

This is not a daycare. I have two wonderful children that attend this school that come home with a surprising array of knowledge. The teachers are well rounded, well educated, caring instructors. I believe Neighborhood Academy will set my children up for a wonderful educated future!!
