In my humble lay person opinion, I find immense distaste that this parish, with 4 priests, only…read moreconducts confession/reconciliation for a short window of time on Saturday mornings. In confession I asked the priest why they don't do confession before mass on Sundays, despite having 4 priests, and his response was disheartening. I pray that the church focuses more on saving souls, which is done in large part by confession.

im going into eighth grade and I've been here my whole life- here's a honest review- coming from a…read moregirl who's parents also went here. - so as in of 2024 we students have a new administration. Not only are they late but a bit lazy, yk? I almost got expelled for smtg I didn't do just bc of a rumor. (the rumor being that I kissed girls in the bathroom but that wasn't even me. It was one of my friends but they are so lazy to actually look into things. I was CRYING to the principal telling Her I didn't do it and she didn't care. She threatened to expel me! I had to cry to my grandma and she had to send so many emails just to clear it up) - Ive been going here my whole entire life bro and NGL it could be better. The school tries so hard to keep up a good reputation but they know that their students be doing shady stuff 24/7 AND THEY BE DOING NOTHING ABT IT!! And parents- Catholic School doesn't mean good students. TRUST ME these people vape, etc. they date, cheat, etc. but that isn't the school's fault. Neither is it yours, unless it is- -- - The teachers are nice though, however this school is changing more than ever- popular Teachers are leaving and the school is struggling to keep up. ‍ that's NOT IT. - AND THE TEACHERS CLEARLY HAVE FAVORITES and use biased information to their ability... - I always hated the strict rules and the mysogyny. Like they changed the TIES for what? Just because they weren't feminine enough?! -- - And it's ridiculous that they expect small children to act like robots. like bro- why do six year olds need to repeat the rosary so many gosh darn times . Also- this school just made me want to not be Catholic. I mean like I secretly left the religion in 6th grade. - AND don't get me STARTED on the classes, etc. sure, they teach good education. They teach students to be respectul. But how abt ppl who are special needs? WITH ADHD? Or the gifted kids? They do a poor job on that. - I mean sure- I love this school. I've been going here since I was pre-k. But it's 2024- soon 2025. Parents, it's best to place your student in a public school. So many parents had such bad experiences here, the new school administration is slacking, and the rules are basically still the same as when they made the school back in the 1960s. -- - I hope yall can understand. I hated the competition Here. peace out Also I ain't going to Catholic High School for anyone wondering ‍

My 9-month old daughter has been attending Thalia Day School in the infant classroom for about 7…read moremonths (started there when she was 2.5 months old). This is our first child so we were extremely anxious about entrusting others to care for her while we work. That anxiety quickly dwindled when we saw how they care for our daughter and how happy she is to be there. I consider our family very fortunate to have found TDS and their wonderful teachers and staff there! We would recommend to other parents.

Barefoot is an incredibly special place for young children to gain social, emotional, and…read moreeducational skills. They are professional without being rigid or in personable. Both of our sons attended the school for a couple years each. Our boys are very different in personality and learning styles. The Barefoot team provided custom teaching styles to fit each of their unique needs. One of our boys is hard of hearing. he required help with his hearing devices, had regular speech therapy at the school, and was expressing his needs with sign language. The Barefoot staff was fully supportive and made every accommodation requested. Their team is always VERY responsive and proactive. It was truly sad to see our boys move on to other schools.

Tara greets my babies with so much love, Ms. Courtney has endless patience, and Jen, her daughter, and Ms. Eileen are all incredibly kind. Leaving my kids here gave me peace of mind every single day. They were flexible, patient, and even welcomed my mom for a tour. The only reason we're leaving is because of my work schedule and commute -- otherwise, we'd be here for years. If you want a daycare where your children are loved like family, Barefoot is it.

Learning is play-based and student-centered - so important for this age group! The extra programs are such fun - like Mother Goose Day for the 3 year-olds and the annual Boo Bash - and parents are encouraged to participate in as many activities as they can throughout the year. I would definitely recommend this school to my friends - and I have!

I can't recommend this school. My child had a neck injury today. We weren't given an incident…read morereport. We weren't called to be informed. Just a simple report at pick up only to find that she can't even turn her neck at home. She won't move. Won't play. A neck injury should be treated with more caution. I only got further information after calling multiple times and asking to be contacted. I had to beg for the appropriate information. Then, I was lied to about the incident. The director told me they gave my husband full report. Which simply didn't happen. Overall, the teachers are excellent. I really love the teachers and their dedication. My daughter has been with the school for coming up on 4 years. The teachers are the only reason why. The director is unfortunately pretty awful. As is, apparently, the board. We just don't get good communication. I rarely know what's going on with my child. Whenever there's a slight issue, discussing it with the director not only doesn't address it, there's no apology, empathy or wanting to advocate for the kids. It's just "eh, what do you want me to do". I ask for her to pass information along with the teachers and somehow it doesn't get where it's supposed to go. Since covid we have to meet at the door to drop our kid so it's rare to even interact with the teachers. Which would be fine if any consideration was taken into the communication. I'm simply asking for appropriate communication with what goes on with my child on a daily basis. Another point of concern is when my daughter had an accident (#2) and we were told the teachers weren't allowed to help her clean up (she's 3) and that's why she came home with feces in her private areas. They were also kind enough to bag up to accident and sent it home in her book bag (didn't tell us about that so it was a big surprise!). When I attempted to address that concern I was told "they can't do anymore to help clean them up". Which is odd since the bathroom has a changing station with gloves, wipes, diapers, diaper genie right in it. And they had been changing my daughter since she was 8 weeks old. I'm not asking for much here. I'm asking for appropriate care of my kid. Basics, notify me of an accident, help her clean up if there's an accident. Communicate with me on what my kid is doing all day. These are the basics I pay for and I'm simply not getting. Addressing any issue has been met with "eh, we can't do anything else". Oh, and they closed for Covid for months. Which, was expected. But they've closed twice since they've been back open for "potential exposure". None of this was taken into consideration financially. Again, our concerns as parents were met with a "eh, oh well" approach. From my understanding from contact tracing only, staff brought in covid twice. While the parents get lectured regularly as to what we can and can't do. Also recently received an email that they might have to close for 2 days due to being understaffed. I'm sure that won't be taken into consideration financially either. And typically those of emails of "we might be closed" are prepping us for they will be closed. So, if you're a working parent who depends on childcare so you can work, I also can't recommend.

I wouldn't put to much credit in the 5 star review since it was posted by one of the founders of…read morethe school! My daughter lasted 1 day in this school. It was not organized, my child's teacher was not Montessori trained and had no idea what her daily schedule even was. They are charging tuition like this is a Montessori Certified school when it is NOT. Their play yard is not setup well - if the teacher is by the equipment they are not able to see the gate. I personally watched a child walk out of the gate unattended with the parking lot 10 feet away. The final straw was that they were moving her to a separate building for naptime which 1) they had to walk her in the rain to get to this building and 2) there was not enough staff for the number of children sleeping!
