Huntsville Achievement School is a private school that is rethinking education possibilities. In its over fifty year history H.A.S. has sought to blaze its own trail providing an educational option in the Huntsville Metro area for the K-12 student where the “one size fits all” education paradigm is not effective.  It seeks to provide an economical educational alternative for students with learning differences such as High Functioning Autism and other Spectrum disorders, ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, ODD, OCD, etc and for those that need a smaller learning environment. H.A.S. is committed to being a safe haven where bullying does not exist and students are free to be themselves. 

This will be our child’s second year at Huntsville Achievement School and they have helped him in so many ways. He is very intelligent but needs a small classroom environment and a tailored education specific to his needs. He gets what he needs at this school and watching him thrive is a great joy for us. – Jill W.

I must start out by saying that I am a mama who is VERY hands-on with my daughter. I own my own business, Valley Birkenstock, and my husband is an engineer so we work very hard to balance work and family life. I knew it was going to be a challenge to find somewhere that I felt like was taking the care that I demanded for my daughter and I found it. I am such a big fan of CCS. We toured several daycares/schools to try to find a good fit for our family and I was so impressed with CCS. They have wonderful teachers and staff that truly love on the kids. My daughter has excelled there in every way. When I say “Are you ready to go to school?” she runs for the door. She absolutely loves it there and it makes me feel so good to leave her somewhere knowing that she is safe and happy. They have cameras in every classroom for accountability and you have to have a code to enter. You can bring your own lunch and we believe in a low sugar diet which they happily follow. They do a different color, shape, bible verse, and character value each week. It AMAZES me when I go in to pick up my daughter and all of the 1 year olds are sitting in chairs doing lessons. I’ve walked in on many an occasion to the teachers singing songs to them and even doing lyrical dancing for them one time. I can not say enough good things about this school and recommend it to anyone and everyone that asks! – Julie P.

My little one is in Kindergarten now, but she started the preschool when she was 3months old. We have loved it. Great academics and kinetic learning in a clean Christian atmosphere. – Cheryl B.

We have been sending our child to Covenant Classical since Early 2011. She absolutely loves it and has learned so much. I love not having to worry about my child while I am at work because I know she is being well taken care of. I also love that they are backing up the same Christian values we are instilling at home. – Christina H.

My child- 5 years old- has been attending the program for 5 months now. We have been amazed at how quickly he is moving through the math levels and he is currently learning to add numbers up to the double digits. We’ve been so impressed with the Math program that we also just recently enrolled our child in the reading program. The owner, Ms. Anita Kantamneni, is always available and she has a well trained staff who are so patient with the students as they motivate and work with each child. For anyone interested in math and reading enrichment, this is a great organization which helps parents to ensure that their child learns math and reading at their own pace and in a motivational and kind environment. – Stacey G.

LATHAM UMC CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Huntsville, AL 35805
(256) 881-4069

My son attended Latham’s CDC from the infant room all the way until he was four. I always knew he was in good hands and always appreciated the extra few minutes they would take to say hi/goodbye to both my son and myself. He was well engaged at school in activities. He is now in the Pre-K program in the city. He was exposed (not forced) to letters, numbers, counting, and many other skills that prepared him well for his adventures in Pre-K. If you are looking for a caring place for you child I highly recommend you visit Latham CDC for yourself and see all the wonderful things your child can be apart of! – Mary C.

I absolutely adore Latham Child Development Center. I have had my daughter there since she was 5 months old (now 17 months). The staff is knowledgeable, loving, and flexible to the needs of each child. My daughter has always been happy to see them! It makes it a lot easier to go to work knowing that she’s in great care. The staff has always provided a lot of support to us, the parents, as well as to the babies and children. They are also great about keeping the place and toys super clean. I would definitely recommend them. – Carrie C.


LITTLE LAMBS LEARNING CENTER

11716 County Line Road
Madison, Alabama, 35758
(256) 464-3900

My oldest son, Aidan, now 6, and now my youngest, Eli, now 4, have both attended the Little Lambs Learning Center (LLLC) preschool at Lamb of God Church on County Line Road in Madison. It’s an excellent Christian school where my boys have learned their ABCs, coloring, cutting, and most importantly that they have a Savior named Jesus who loves them dearly. The emphasis is on Bible stories and songs and there is an awesome Chapel time with the Pastor leading the songs with his accordion! Highly recommended! – Gwen S.

What a Wonderful School. The People at Little lambs are what make it so Special. Pastor John, Ms. Elsa and Ms. Deborah, have a Love for Children , that is a calling for God. That Love is in Everything they do. – Janet L.

My youngest son Griffin attended LLLC in the 3 year old class in the 2011/2012 school year. We were so blessed by this preschool and Griffin absolutely loved attending. He learned so many educating skills for Kindergarten readiness but the most important was the biblically based themes in which he was taught. Elsa is such a wonderful, caring and loving director and teacher as well as all of her staff. We enjoyed all of the special programs too which allowed parental involvement. We had Grifin signed up for the 4 year old class the following year, but unfortunately we had an unexpected move out of the area. I highly recommend this preschool. You will. Or be disappointed. God Bless. Julie S.

My 3 year old went to Little Lambs this past year and we just LOVED it. It was perfect for her. They are a very Christ centered program so the children attend chapel every Thursday with the church’s pastor Who plays the accordion and they sing bible songs together. My daughter asked to go to school every day. In the classroom she was taught days of the week, letters, counting, cutting skills, etc but also got plenty of play time. This is a small program where everyone knows everyone else and that means a lot in this big world! You will love it! – Ellen S.

My daughter struggled to get math (mental math where she could see the problem and do it) we have only been going about a month now and she has improved her math skill dramatically. Her 4th grade teacher is letting her use her abacus in class and has even asked my daughter to show her how to use it. This program has given her the boost she needed. Mrs. Praveena is a WONDERFUL and patient teacher. She is very good with the kids. Her knowledge of what she does is wonderful! I am advertising her to all my friends and my place of employment as I think this is a wonderful program.– Lisa B.

 My son has always struggled with math, often to the point of tears.  When he began to go to Mathnasium, he’d walk in with his head down, his shoulders hunched, and he was afraid to ask questions.  He has gained so much confidence this school year that his head is held high, he laughs and talks to people at Mathnasium, he readily asks questions and receives the attention he deserves, and he now has a solid B in math, up from consistent D’s.  He’s free to ask the questions he needs to, as many times as he needs to.  There is no ridicule, no frustration from the tutors, just help and support.  We wouldn’t go anywhere else! – Crystal H.

My 10yo really struggles with basic number sense and also has dyscalculia. Phillip at Mathnasium in Madison started working with him and we saw results almost immediately. My son has gained confidence, caught up to his grade level, and is excited about math again. Honestly, I was hesitant at first because of the price tag, but now I’m a believer.


MONTESSORI SCHOOL OF HUNTSVILLE

15975 Chaney Thompson Rd SE
Huntsville, AL 35803
256-881-3790

We started at MSH two years ago and are well into our third school year. Every year, my son has grown by leaps and bounds. Due to the three year cycle espoused by Montessori, he had the same teachers his first two years and has moved into a new class this year with a range of ages. The transition went beautifully and he loves his new teachers and friends. He likes how the big boys and girls help him complete tasks and learning to do things on his own! The administration and staff of the school love and respect the children and it shows in the quality of the education. As parents, we have found a home here as well with the tight-knit community and they myriad of opportunities available to all family members to get involved and help out at the school. We love Montessori School of Huntsville! – Ashley D.

I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for day care or pre-school for your toddler. When I found MSH I was not thinking about school yet, but since my first visit I never had a second thought that this was where I wanted my son. I hope that he will stay through 6th grade in this amazing school. Every child at this school is amazing, a true testament to how this method of teaching can build intelligent, independent leaders for the next generations. – Amber

My son has been going to Montesssori School of Huntsville for 4 years now. I have been amazed at his progress and education. I am a firm supporter of the Montessori Method and have implemented many of the ideas and tools at home. I plan to keep my son in MSH for as long as we can. Molly R.

Our son has been attending Montessori School of Huntsville for over a year, and we couldn’t be happier. There is such a huge benefit to starting your child off with a montessori education. When we first went to the school to learn about the methods of montessori we were taken aback by the calm atmosphere and the independence of the children. We were amazed! We met our son’s teachers and spoke with them before we chose to send him there. I cannot say enough about the wonderful teachers and staff at the school. They are there to help your child grow individually, and they put their hearts into it. My son is 3 1/2 and he loves school and loves to learn. I credit that in large part to Montessori School of Huntsville. If you are considering Montessori school I suggest you check it out like we did – take a tour and learn about the method…you won’t be disappointed! – Ava

Both of my young boys go to this school and I love it! My youngest, 1 year old, is already signing things. My oldest is autistic and they let his therapists come to school and accommodate all of his needs. They are totally parent-friendly too. I can stop by anytime and visit, and they love to have parents attend parties or even just stop by to read a book. My favorite thing about the school is the curriculum. It allows my children to be themselves while learning at the same time. There is always something fun going on there. We are a Primrose family for life! – Rebecca J.

I highly recommend Randolph to all families looking for a high academic school that truly loves its students and pushes them to succeed! We are overwhelmed by the opportunities at Randolph and the education we are giving our son. He is so excited to attend school every day! – Lindsay R.

This summer was the 1st time doing camps at Randolph. Our children (K, 2nd, 4th) had a blast! They looked forward to going each morning even with having to get up and leave early since it was a 30+ min drive there. – Lisa M.
