FROM PARENT TO PARENT, MOTHER TO MOTHER, PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL SENDING YOUR KIDS HERE IF YOU CARE ABOUT THERE WELLBEING. I have 3 kids that attended. My oldest attended since he's was 2. I have only watched it decline these past 2 yrs since the new pastors took over. W/in these past 2yrs my son has been punched in the face, tooth dislocated & then having it pulled. (Kinder). Then while trying to learn @ school he should feel safe at gets kicked walking up stairs by another child telling him he wants to "Kill him". (1st Grade) When I brought this up that this was not ok. I was informed that, "Oh, ya know kids and video games." Like, no, I don't. This is unacceptable behavior to allow. I have tried to have multiple meetings w/the pastors and principal and it took me over 1yr to get that meeting. Which was a joke in itself. We took time off to handle these issues. The pastors literally told us to our faces they do not like to focus on the school side of things and only like to focus on the church side of things.Are you kidding me? Why would you take over a church and school if you only want to focus on one side you should have just joined a church. You have our children's education in your hands and yet you don't want to focus on the school side? Now we had to make an additional meeting bc the pastors were unfit to handle the situation. I tried to have multiple meetings w/the principal when I brought up issues instead of her dealing with it she sent us a de enrollment form. So we thought if we met with the pastors this would be handled bc they're suppose to be the top of the chain. Boy were we wrong. So the pastors made us have an additional meeting w/the principal for intentionally de enrolling our kids. We only found this out due to the re enrollment fees not being taken out and the registrar informing us the principal asked her to not take our fees out bc we wanted a meeting. So for my son getting bullied you're going to retaliate against us for bringing these issues to the forefront? After dealing with the mishandling of these situations we decided to pull our kids out of this school for their safety. I will also mention other safety concerns. Homeless people sleeping in front of the school. Two people walk up on campus have no child that attends KVCS, ask to use the restroom on the blacktop. They allow these people in the school. Can you imagine if a child was in that RR and these people were pediphiles & did something to one of our children? Now the nail in the coffin of why our kids were pulled out on top of EVERYTHING ELSE was bc I went to p/u my son for an appt thank god I did bc I would not have known this was occurring. I walked in & was informed my son was in the back room w/ a psychiatrist. WITHOUT MY CONSENT. (Behind a closed door w/minor). When I asked if I was going to get an email or a phone call about this I was told by the psychiatrist, "By law I don't need to tell you anything." The school did not call me or inform me this was happening. Come to find out forms were forged w/o my knowledge or consent. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH YOUR CHILDREN! I can go on and on about the negatives of this place. They're NOT about the kids they're about the money. Your child is nothing but a # here. The preschool can't even keep a teacher. Most of the BEST teachers have left here that should tell you EVERYTHING. I should also mention in the preschool I walked in for my younger son's bday and they HAD HIM FACING A WALL and told me he's just been a lot. So how many other times is my son being mistreated? I pulled him out immediately and had to have him at work with me bc of the mistreatment he endured. He cried every morning coming to this place not wanting to go and now I know why. He LOVES the school he goes to now. Then my 7yo tells me after leaving this place that homeless people across the street from the school playground would stare at them watching them play.This school is horrible and I can give you plenty more reasons but I think I gave you enough. I have to let other prospective parents know what is occurring bc this could be your child. PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN PLEASE!!

Hi Jocelyn A. I'm the father of the boy you witnessed that vomited at the school. I can't speak…read moreto how the front desk responded to you, but I will fill you in on my son's condition. I'm only doing this because I do take illnesses seriously and if my son was ill I would have kept him home. He too spent time in the ER last month for RSV so I can understand your concern. My son has asthma and a gag reflex. The gag reflex causes him to easily throw up. This sometimes can be triggered by stuffing his mouth too much or even a heavy cough. His asthma isn't too bad normally, but sometimes when he talks too fast (cold variant asthma). This is what happened on that day, he coughed heavily which triggered his gag reflex. He was sent home due to him throwing up, but we are working with our patrician to get an exemption. Not every sneeze is a cold, not every cough is a virus, and not every throw up is a sign of something contagious. As parents we should look out for each other, I would have appreciated if you asked what happened and expressed your concern in person. God bless.

ANNUAL RUMMAGE SALE…read more The summer of 2012 involved a lot of estate sales and garage sales for me and my then-fiance. We had decided to make my wedding bouquet out of brooches and our own and family collections didn't render enough to do it without buying some. We happened to find a rummage sale going on at Woodside last summer and it was the very end of it when we walked in. We were allowed to take a look around and actually found a couple brooches. It didn't cost us much and they were great! As luck would have it, the 9am - 2 pm sale took place again in 2013 and we happened to drive by on the perfect weekend! We stopped in at 2:15, just as they were finishing up (again). We were allowed to walk around and they had reduced prices. How lucky are we! We found some adorable Pooh items that included a new nursery light switchplate and some Pooh Nesting Dolls. A couple framed Pooh pictures found their way into my bag also. Alas, I do not have a nursery. Or children. And I never watched Winnie the Pooh. But the items are clean, new, and adorable, and would make great gifts! It's really great when schools organize fundraisers and have parents that are willing to help and volunteer their time. We've enjoyed both times we've driven by this school and seen something going on. Now we need to keep our eyes open for their next ice cream social. Because we'd totally stop for that too!

Our child began attending Concordia in kindergarten and four years later, they are thriving!…read moreConcordia is everything we could hope for in a school and a community. The teachers are caring and invested. The Montessori curriculum gives the child ownership and responsibility for their own learning with guidance from the teachers, while allowing room for playful curiosity. The school also places a focus on social responsibility, so my child isn't just getting an academic education but a social education as well: learning personal responsibility, learning to interact with mixed age groups, to problem-solve through conflict resolution, and to contribute through acts of kindness at school and at home. The school is delightfully "dumb" in that devices and online learning are not a part of the lower grade levels. The kids are taught cursive and write out most of their works. Homework is not introduced until the third grade level. And I love that kids have the option to work in the way that suits them best, whether that's on the floor, sitting at a desk, or standing at a table. They can work with a friend, or work alone in the quiet room to aid focus. The school understands that every kid's learning process is a little different and helps set the kids up for success. We feel so fortunate to have found this school that is so caring and inclusive of families of all races, ethnicities, gender identity, family structure, and/or socioeconomic status. In addition to feeling like the right learning environment for our child, we are so grateful to have found this community and be welcomed into it. We will be so sorry to leave after 6th grade!

Expecting 4-year-olds to already be writing and recognizing letters feels academically misplaced for a Transitional Kindergarten level. What's worse is the inconsistency--it's clear the "rules" don't apply to everyone, as kids who can't yet write their names are accepted while the process remains a "black box" for everyone else. It feels more like a biased "who you know" system than a transparent evaluation of a child's readiness. We also noticed during our tour that the school's diversity is very low. In today's world, we want our children to learn in an environment that reflects the broader community, and we didn't see that here. Definitely something to consider if transparency and inclusion are priorities for your family.
