We were greatly blessed moving into a neighborhood close to this school and by the grace of God our children got in at the right time. Before each school year starts, each teacher reaches out to the parents and makes house calls - a visit to the child's home to meet the parents in person, give them the curriculum, expectations, and guidelines the children are supposed to have so the parents and children know the teacher's expectation throughout the school year. The teachers also give parents their contact info so the parents can easily connect with the teacher at anytime. I mean, what school can you say, that teachers come to your house and makes a personal visit to connect with the family directly? I do not know of any except this school. In addition, this school only has one class per grade - one class of kinder, one class of first grade, etc. The ratio of teacher to children is around 20 to 1. They keep the size of class small so they can keep the class intimate. They also have a therapist on staff for students' mental and emotional health! They keep the students actively reading all year long by having "battle of the books" per grade and have awesome incentives. Julie, the principal, is a "go-getter" and treats all of her students like they are her own. You can feel the love of JHCS staff for each student, and each student is known by their name. It truly is a second family. Besides all of the great things I already mentioned, JHCS is ranked #1 Best Public Elementary Schools in the area and has a grade of "A" in overall niche grade!

However, the new director has been so awesome to work with. The school has retained the things that made it great : classical education, screen free instruction, no sugar, Montessori inspired, clean & organized facility but all the nonsense rules and the neurotic pestering and teaching style of the previous director are gone. My kids love going to school every day and I do not worry about them being on laptops and having TV based lessons. They get plenty of time outside. The faculty is extremely responsive to each of my kids needs and challenges each of them at their unique levels & needs. Overall, GREAT decision to come back :)

The Maeser Way or the Highway: When Rigid Policy Undermines Linguistic Preparation…read moreI am writing this review so families coming from Alpine School District dual-language immersion (DLI) programs, particularly those at neighboring DLI elementary, junior high, and high schools, understand an important reality before accepting enrollment at Maeser. My student was offered admission to Maeser after completing several years in an Alpine School District DLI program. That experience represents sustained academic instruction in a living, globally spoken language. Before accepting the offer, I contacted the LEA Administrator at Maeser to ask a straightforward question: since flexibility for DLI students reportedly existed at Maeser in the past, why does it no longer exist? Historically, DLI students attending Maeser were permitted to leave campus to attend immersion classes at nearby junior high and high schools. I was told there is now "no flexibility." Latin is mandatory for all seventh graders, with no exceptions. When I followed up to ask what prompted this policy change, that question went unanswered. In practice, this policy requires students who have invested years in mastering a Romance language to abandon that academic trajectory entirely. There is no alternative pathway, no transition option, and no acknowledgment that these students bring precisely the kind of linguistic foundation the school claims to value. Maeser promotes Latin as foundational for grammar, logic, and etymology, yet students already fluent in a Romance language derived from Latin are told that background cannot be accommodated in any way. I was further advised that my student's DLI language could simply be "continued at home." Language immersion does not function that way. Fluency developed through daily structured instruction, academic accountability, and peer interaction cannot be maintained through casual practice, particularly in households where the language is not spoken. Replacing a formal immersion program with informal at-home exposure is not academically equivalent. Schools are free to design their curriculum. However, when a rigid policy effectively excludes a defined group of academically prepared students from continuing their established educational pathway without a transparent explanation for the change, families deserve to know. This experience revealed a disconnect between Maeser's stated commitment to academic rigor and its unwillingness to engage with students who bring significant prior preparation. A truly rigorous academic model should be capable of examining reasonable pathways for well-prepared students rather than closing the door entirely. Charter schools operate with significant autonomy. That autonomy can foster innovation, but it can also leave families with little recourse when inflexible policies narrow access. In this case, the message was clear: the "Maeser way" is nonnegotiable, regardless of a student's preparation or prior academic investment. Families deserve to understand that reality before enrolling. As for our family, we will choose another school, one that demonstrates openness and a genuine understanding of the value of a comprehensive education. Our student will continue in the DLI program through college, which represents a significant academic accomplishment. Expecting students to abandon years of linguistic study without compelling academic justification does not reflect educational flexibility or intellectual depth. Families considering Maeser should be fully informed of these limitations before making their decision.

As a mom of a little baby I can 100% recommend it to any other moms in the area that are looking…read morefor a great daycare. Their staff is loving and caring, the installations are great and clean, the management staff is also amazing and caring. I really appreciate their help with basically co-parenting with me. They send reports of whenever anything happens to your baby, call you when needed, communication was never a problem. I was super sad once I had to move towns and unfortunately couldn't keep on bringing my baby cause it did feel like an extra family, the teachers were so loving and that is something as a mom you really look for in the people with whom your child is gonna spend most of his time besides yourself. One of the nicest things was getting to see the crafts my baby would do very often at daycare, pictures they would print and decorate or do something nice for holidays and other special days. Love them and would use them again if I live closer again!

I have nothing but good things to say about this care center. Hands down the BEST daycare in town!…read moreI trust every single person that works there. My girls LOVE the teachers there and I personally love the staff. They are very selective in who they hire, which alone says alot. Angie, Ashley, & Amanda always update me on anything that goes on while my girls are in their care. They are Ginuwine, honest and caring and it shows. I'm VERY picky when it comes to who watches my babies and these ladies make me feel really comfortable which is a MUST! They go by the book and then some. I love how organized and clean they are, & the communication is suburb. I do "Pop ups" and randomly sneak in to see how things are going in the classroom when the parents are "unexpected" and I can honestly say I've never been disappointed. I go by people's vibes and I can tell if someone is Ginuwine or not. These women are very Ginuwine and honest. If an incident occurred with your child, they let you know exactly what happened, how it happened, What time it happened and what they did to comfort your child. The staff is very well trained and definitely hand picked. The owner and managers all have kids and they all go there which is a really good sign. The staff have been there for years, they have well balanced meals, excellent learning activities, and well put together daily schedules. Courtney has been there for 20 years and she is the sweetest lady ever, Jaime knows everything about every child and gives these kids a lot of one on one attention. Summer is a gorgeous young lady that was born to care for young kids, she's super mature. Hailey has patience like no one I know, I witnessed it first hand at the kids Christmas performance (which was amazing btw). Jasmine is such a sweetheart, her and my daughter share a special bond, its adorable. Lora was my daughters previous teacher and she LOVES her, she calls her "Flora" so now I call her flora whenever I see her. I will never leave this place nor will I ever find a daycare that will care for my babies the way this daycare does. 1 million golden stars to the owner and Managers that make this daycare the way it is, I wouldn't change a thing about it. P.S. I don't remember all the names of the staff, the ones mentioned are the ones that stand out to me from my girls experience.
