Our daughter has gone here for a year and she loves it so far. 3's program on a farm and she's…read morelearned so much. We are excited for her to do her 4s program this year and even more so that she has a friend wanting to enroll also. They teach the kids so many skills I didn't know a 3 year old could perform. The self learning discovery style has been great. Teacher Cheyanne left and we will miss her. Nonetheless we are still excited for our daughter to have her next year here. Her little brother will also attend here when he's old enough.

Our family has experienced two Montessori schools and two public districts between three boys…read more Dancing Pines is by far the most personal education between them all. The teachers are so mindful of how each child develops, it really does make you stop and think why it doesn't happen this way everywhere. I should also point out that our son is autistic and simply learns and interacts in his own way. The way he learns with the teachers and class mates is so organic that it doesn't even seem like he's being treated differently. And in reality I don't think he is being treated differently, which is exactly how I want my son treated. On top of the great staff, agile curriculum, and hands on learning... it's affordable. I'm sure you can find cheaper if you really look, but you will not find a better early learning experience for the price. Or for that matter, even more expensive options would have a tough time competing with this team. My child is currently 5 years old and autistic. Performing math at a 1st-2nd grade level. Reads at a 2nd-3rd grade level. And as a bonus, knows how to tend goats and chickens. Thank you so much Dancing Pines!

Excellent school, part of the Auburn School district. Very good staff of professionals…read more Hazelwood Elementary consistently performs well above the standard. I'm glad to have my daughter attend!

My son, a first grader, is improving across all measured skill sets and he TRULY ENJOYS being at school. I could write more and probably will once my thought are organized. I am not an educator but simply a proud parent and I am so pleased to see the level of the curriculum even at the elementary stage. The kids are tasked with complex art projects and reading assignments and the specialists have comprehensive teaching tools. My oldest being one of the "Covid" era kids didn't have any remote learning elements so I can't speak to that but I do know the school is incorporating technology skills appropriate to their age.

I love this elementary school. The teachers are really great & so is the staff…read more I drive from Puyallup to take my son to kindergarten here, that's how much I love it. He's learned so much from these teachers & they are so involved with each student, it's just nice to know how serious they take their jobs & how passionate they are about it as well. My son will keep attending this school even if I am going to have to drive him 30-40 minutes every day to get there.

By the time she arrived at the elementary school for first grade she was reading at a forth grade level. Had understanding in sign language and Spanish. Had so many fun experiences with friends and performing in front of a group. The staff is amazing. The women in this building understand child development and have helped give me ideas on how to deal with certain situations with my kids. My son is there now and wants to go to school every day. He is bummed on the weekends.

I needed to ask school district a question. No one picks up the phone. Left couple voice mails…read moreover a period of few days and no one returns calls. One day, which was their working day, all day long, the phone call went straight to the message saying "their office is closed" which it isn't.

Where do I start. Jesse Molina Spicer is a PHD psychologist that works for Kent School district…read more Jesse has taken over my mother's estate in payette county. Attacking me with her attorney. They did a deposition on me that lasted half the day where the insulted me and accuse me of all kinds of different things. I'm not an angel I did some of it but not all of it. I was removed from the estate as the pr. After 1 year. The reason I was removed was because I didn't turn in an inventory in 90 days. The reason I couldn't turn in the inventory was because Debbie gravning my other sister. Took off with all the paperwork my mom's purse banking information. I told the judge this. She's still awarded the estate to Jesse Spicer. And charged me for her legal fees. Jesse has not turned in an inventory in 18 years that I'm aware of. The estate is still open. The estate of Dolores England and payette county Idaho. Now let's go to the child molestation part. Back in the 1970s when I was in the 7th grade. A man gave me a lathe that was in a rental house that he owned. Jesse came over and stole it and took it to a pawn shop. My stepdad Earl told her you either bring it back. Or move out of our house. That summer before Jesse went to Oklahoma to head for college she took me to a job interview. That she insisted I go to. I didn't want to but she made me . Jesse is 10 years older than me. The man tried to molest me offered me money manhandled me wanting sex. I never said a word when I got to the car where Jesse was waiting. She wanted details but I wouldn't talk. When I got home I talked to Earl England my stepfather. He told me never say anything to anybody about this if your sister ever brings it up again. She had something to do with it. Lord and behold in an argument over text. Jesse admitted to taking me to a child molester. There is a Portland Police report that I made after I got the text. Jesse works with prisoners with Portland Police. Nothing's been done about it. I brought it to the attention. To Kent School district. My understanding she was disciplined told she needed to settle the estate before she could come back to work. The estate is still open in payette county Idaho. And Jesse still works for Kent School district. It's very disturbing that someone can make a comment like this. And admitting to taking a child to a child molester. And still get to work with children. So I called them today. And ask to talk to someone about this. I was told that they would take it to legal. And would not answer the question whether they would get back to me or not. This lady needs to be in a state penitentiary. They'll put a Catholic priest in jail. Go after scouting. But if you're a PHD psychologist working in the Tacoma School district. They will protect you.

We are thrilled with our experience at Montessori Time. What a find! Our daughter is growing and…read morelearning so much, and we feel we have found just the right environment for her, full of warmth and caring. The teachers are experienced, and their approach is very thoughtful. The classroom is prepared just right for the students, and there's so much for her to explore and learn with. I feel I've learned as well about how to support my daughter's education. We're excited about sending our second daughter to Montessori Time once she's old enough. Some notes: They have an excellent music curriculum and Spanish instruction once a week. They also offer summer day camps focused on specific topics. This was a great way to help our daughter (and ourselves) feel comfortable with being in preschool.
