The concept of an independent study charter school is wonderful. La Vida (Life) offers a variety…read moreof curriculum choices, and their willingness to offer the Oak Meadow (Waldorf) curriculum is one of their strengths. Their teaching staff include both on-site teachers for the students who choose on-site classes 2 days/week and teachers who work with the homeschool-only students. The buildings are old and not well-maintained. Hallways and rooms seem cluttered, confined, and a bit claustrophobic. Some of the textbooks sent home with students are tattered and falling apart. Staff seem unconcerned by this. Staff are difficult to contact by phone, seem unconcerned about returning phone calls, and office staff seem put out by questions from visitors. Our children felt the school was "too weird" for them.

My contact with them is limited to taking an elementary Chinese class, just for personal enrichment and out of interest. The instructor was outstanding and I actually remember a little of what I was taught. A person wanting to learn Chinese couldn't go wrong starting here.

This school is a home to nurturing creative independent thinking, protecting a childhood, and developing a human that can consciously move through this world with independence and confidence. I can't say enough about the relationships that are created over time into a family of unconditional love and support well after your years on campus. Paying for private school can feel overwhelming and impossible, but I can attest that it has payed dividends in my families life! Well worth it-Best investment wemade!

Our family loves Imagination Station. Our oldest son…read morestarted attending Imagination Station 2 1/2 days a week when he was 4 years old. We wanted to get him use to a more structured setting before he started kindergarten. After meeting with Saprina, getting a tour of the school and hanging out in the classroom for about an hour we knew it was exactly what he needed. He learned so much in the 8 months. It made the transition into Kindergarten a breeze. He had a few friends from Imagination Station in his kindergarten class which also helped. Our younger son started attending Imagination station when was 18 months. Since he had gone with me to drop off brother he was use to the very friendly staff and did not have a hard time going 2 1/2 days a week. He has transitioned through 3 of the 4 classes and we have loved every teacher and staff along the way. Our younger son has a very high energy level and they are able to keep him engaged and having fun the whole time he is there. He loves to tell me about circle time, play time, snack time and now he has started working on a letter of the week. I have no doubts that the transition into kindergarten will be smooth. With my husband being in law enforcement there are endless schedule changes, over time shifts and court that come up. With Imagination Stations drop in option and amazing staff we have never had to worry about the boys. Thank you Imagination Station for being there for our family. Thank you for hiring caring and patient staff who care about the success of the children. We look forward to another year of learning and laughs.

I agree with the other person who left 1 star review. I had almost the exact same experience. This…read morebusiness is a monopoly piece for the owner. I notice negative labeling of the children's behavior instead of an attempt to show them how to act appropriately. They have one thing to teach at this age, social emotional skills. And this doesn't happen here. They would rather label children as a thief, bully, looser or popular instead of trying to teach all the children to get along and resolve conflicts. I removed my child from this school and although I gave them adequate notice they still tried to fine me. Still a year later my child is suffering from behavioral issues as they have been "trying on" what was done to them. Which could have been avoided if the staff was trained properly. When a staff member comes to me and reports the issue and tells me they don't know how to deal with it, maybe the owner should invest some of her money into training staff how to deal with these situations instead of opening a sandwich shop. They get grants for the parents to get free child care why can't they get grants to get their staff up to date on training? They are lucky I haven't taken them to court for what happened to my child there.

I think they have a pretty good nursing program here, but I'm not really sure. I don't really know what the heck people do here because I haven't attended, but the campus sure is pretty! Nestled deep in those foothills. Surrounded by all that green stuff. I meant nature, but given the fact this is Mendo County, I'm sure there's probably plenty of other HERBS growing around the campus as well :D
