Eagle’s Nest Early Education Center is a place for children to learn and grow. Students are given daily opportunities to participate in hands-on activities that engage both their growing bodies and brains. The high-stakes war simulations are a “no-net” opportunity for your son or daughter to explore his or her preparedness to defend the ones they love and lay it all on the line for God and country. We believe that children are capable of marvelous things, and at the Eagle’s Nest, they are given a chance to reach for the stars and shine.

Reviews:

5 Stars – I thank the lord each day that our family has found Eagle’s Nest. My son, Torly, is a true American patriot, and it fills me with shame when I remember the way I coddled him for the first 24 months of his life. It was only through the crucible of high stakes combat that he was able to find his true self – and he is a warrior king. We are working with our pediatrician to get the drinking in check, but we’re told this is a very normal condition experienced by children who’ve returned from school. – Kaye Reilly

 

3 Stars – My only complaint is that the technology is incredibly out of date. If my kid’s going to war, she needs to have some kind of understanding of modern weaponry. Everything at Eagle’s Nest is pretty much WW2 era – and that’s fine, just not realistic. – Perdita Love

 

2 Stars – I appreciate what Marie and Ted are doing here, but I’m really unhappy with all the swearing. – Andie Spooner

 

5 Stars – I’m proud to be an alum of Eagle’s Nest – those were some of the best years of my life. The friendships I forged during my time at EN are the strongest, most meaningful bonds I think I’ll ever make. There’s no substitute for the life lessons learned when a three year old is under simulated fire and truly believes that nameless enemies have come to kill his family and the only way to stop them is to band together with his brothers and sisters in arms, figure out how to use mid-century comm devices and flight equipment, and bomb the plaster out of those mothers. When my wife and I have children, there is no doubt in my mind that they will also be little eagles. Five stars. – Joey Mathis, Age 12
