Highland Park Methodist School

This school has been wonderful to my child. Amazing classrooms (organized and clean), amazing teachers, staff, and director. Pastor Mike is so good with the children too. My daughter looks forward to chapel every Wednesday with Pastor Mike. My daughter has progressed leaps and bounds since she started in 4K. We chose for her to stay for 5K bc of our amazing 4K experience, and the fact that it is a small class and she gets tons of 1 on 1 attention.... We drive a very long ways each day, bc this is simply the best preschool in Florence. Can not say enough great things about HPK.

One of the BEST preschool and after school care programs in Florence!! The directors, teachers and staff go above and beyond all expectations in everything they do. It is a wonderful Christ-centered environment that makes the kids feel welcomed and loved! Not only do they offer a great curriculum for 3K-5K, they also offer Art, Music, Spanish and P.E!

My daughter attended HPK from 3K thru 5K and still attends ASC and SC each year. We absolutely love this place. It is by far the best preschool and ASC program in Florence. The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing and have taken the most amazing care of my little girl. They are like family to us. I wouldn't dream of sending her anywhere else. I wish it was a 3K thru 12 program so that we would never have to leave them. I always feel that she is safe and loved while in their care. I am so grateful to have found HPK! They have been a blessing to our family.

My husband and I have had the pleasure of sending both of our sons to HPK. We all LOVE it there. The teachers are nurturing, knowledgeable, and dedicated to the children. My oldest son has completed his time at HPK and was very well prepared to begin public school. The teachers at his elementary school stated that they always love to get children from HPK because they are always so well prepared. My youngest son will complete HPK this year. I will be so sad when our family's time at this sweet school comes to an end. It has been a wonderful experience for us!

The teachers here practice favoritism with children. They are supposed to be educated to work with children, through difficulties and through their best of days! Instead of looking to the Lord for guidance, they quickly call the parents to provide the discipline. Children need to feel the consequences in the moment, not hours later, when to a toddler, the moment is done and over. Yes, the parents need to be informed and Yes, absolutely the parents should sit down and talk with their child abt any incident at at school, however, if they are educated to work with children, under the leadership and guidance from the Lord and they are teaching the way of the Lord, then please, do your godly duty for all children! Find the essence of each child and you will bond and be more effective at teaching. The greatest part of getting to know these kiddos, is the journey.
