    Parent of an MVM student. This school is not for everyone…read more You are enrolling your family, not just the child. It's important to have a clear understanding what your family is signing up for, when you're looking into Montessori education (Seeing complaints about having to attend a pre-application presentation- why is this a problem? This teaching method is very different than what most parents had grown up with. This presentation is not just a 'check-the-box' exercise. It is to be sure you can commit to and subscribe to the methods they employ (as parents are expected to engage in the school and mirror teaching methods in their home environments (the Teachers visit your home to learn about the child's home environment)). Better to find out that's not something you can commit your family to prior to enrolling (vs. finding out after you've started). Children operate in developmental plains and the classrooms and learning materials reflect that. Pre through K (3yrs, same Teacher, same classroom). Grade 1-3, Grade 4-6, Grade 7-8). Learning is crafted around the child's interest, and at the child's pace, to try to instill the desire to explore, learn, and problem solve (rather than being dictated to and introducing learning through memorization). A child is 'on-track' if they're developing towards the next plain of learning (not through an annual calendar progression or standardized testing). There is a time for that but preparing for testing is not the primary focus of this school until they approach middle-school (again, they're focused on ensuring the desire to learn and achieve is fostered). Caring for your community and developing empathy are also core values of the school. Schooling does not have to be a competition (those who are solely signing up for a 'private school' pedigree will likely be disappointed as Montessori is not solely focused on academic achievement). We've found Montessori methods are helping us to mold a young mind into a productive, caring, empathetic, engaged member of their community. To have a desire to explore and learn. That is what we hope to instill in our kid, and reflect in our family and community.

    We wanted to love the Montessori platform so much that I think it was a huge detriment to our kids…read moredevelopment. This school in particular with its administration, values chores and task driven activities over academics. We decided to pull our two daughters out of the school and move them to public where services are available and they have improved immensely, but unfortunately, they are still behind all of their peers. Every single staff member we work with in the public school setting tells us the same thing, montessori does not have a high standard in academics as they do not test and score like they don in public schools, which is import to catch where they are behind before it's too late and provide that supplemental support/early intervention. The administrators at MVM knew of the problems our kids were facing because they did do some assessments and said they will catch up but that's what they tell every parent, and coming forward with our story we are finding more and more parents just like us with the same exact story line! We believe this school to be unethical and driving a myth behind the montessori platform. If we could go back and change we would never have look in the direction of MVM.

    Built in 2005 and formerly called the Redfield Campus, the Health Science Center is located in the…read moreGalena area. The Radiologic Technology program is now located here and it will be the future home of the Nursing program, as well. The pros? Because this is a much lower-volume campus than the Dandini campus, parking and computers are ample and faster than the ones at Dandini (as of 2015, that is). Facilities include seven general classrooms, two science labs, one nursing lab, an open computer lab, a distance education classroom, library resource center and faculty offices. It is very quiet and is a good place to study. There is currently a great deal of construction underway at present, and I look forward to seeing how this facility grows. The cons? Depending on where you're coming from, the commute can be BRUTAL. Definitely leave yourself extra time when you're headed to this campus!

TMCC's Health Science Center offers nursing, veterinary technology and general education courses such as biology, core humanities, English, math, philosophy and speech communications. Students can complete an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), or an Associate of Applied Science in other fields such as Radiologic Technology, Veterinary Technology, or a Skills Certificate in Certified Nursing Assistant. Also available are student support services such as tutoring, academic advisement and library access at the Redfield Campus.

Have you spent countless hours wading through websites and reading reviews trying to find a loving, safe and affordable program for your preschooler to attend? Look no further--your search is over. Annie and Friends Preschool is the hidden gem you've been looking for. This program is truly the best-kept secret of early childhood education in the greater Northern Nevada area. The school offers phenomenal instruction with a robust, well-developed curriculum that goes far beyond the accreditation standards for Washoe County, the State of Nevada and the NAEYC. The school's principal and lead instructor, Miss Annie, holds a master's degree in early childhood education from Arizona State University. The caliber of her background plus her many years of teaching experience really sets this program apart from others in the area. Learning is tailored to each child's talents, strengths and learning styles. Each child is given a phenomenal opportunity to achieve cognitive milestones within a loving and supporting environment. The most exciting thing? Our son is reading and doing simple addition/subtraction problems! He is well on his way to being prepared for kindergarten next year. Thanks to Miss Annie's creative lesson planning, he has also learned empathy towards others and positive ways to express his emotions. Our son comes home every day excited about the world around him while discovering his place in it. We are amazed that this level of world-class instruction is available here in the Reno-Tahoe area at such an affordable price. We are so thankful we found Annie and Friends!

    We absolutely adore Annie & her school. Our daughter is in her 2nd year at the school & thriving!…read moreShe's learned so much and has so many friends thanks to this school. Annie plans engaging lessons for the kiddos & sends a weekly write up of what they did at the end of week that is so helpful. Annie communicates well with parents & is always easy to talk to. I also feel that she truly cares about my child & offers the tender care that is so critical for little ones. I am already sad for preschool to end but I know my girl has been given a wonderful foundation thanks to Annie.
