Would even name his toys after them while playing at home. Morning drops off were good and he was excited to go to school. Come to follow school year we had nothing but problems. My son would cry and hold on to me for dear life in the mornings. He never wanted to go to school. Dad and I have 50/50 custody, so at first, I thought he was just having attachment issues. It broke my heart to leave him, but I had to work and trusted the school to take good care of him. I started noticing very early on that he was having behavior issues in this class. Almost everyday they told me something. They would complain about him never sitting still, not wanting to participate in activities, hitting his fellow classmates. I did my part and explained to him that we can't behave that way at school and need to be nice to his fellow classmates. There was an incident where he fell and hit his ear. They called me and told me there was a minor incident, but he is fine and not crying. His grandma picked him up from school that day, so I did not see his ear till the end of the day. His ear was extremely bruised and swollen. He wouldn't even let dad, or I touch it. When dad asked to see the video of how it happened, they claimed they do not have cameras in the class, but they literally have one right above the changing table.... They started labeling my kid as the ringleader in his class and a threat to himself and his fellow classmates. Claiming he is the ONLY one to not sit still, listen, and misbehave in a class FULL OF 2 YEAR OLDS. I'm not saying my son is perfect and is always on his best behavior, for crying out he's a two year old. But to label him as a threat? My final straw with this school was this coming Thursday when I received a long email on his behavior a WHOLE DAY later from when it took place. They stated they spoke with dad since it was his day to pick him up. The email that we were sent had things on there that weren't even discussed with dad. I decided to reply piece by piece to this email addressing each bad behavior. Most of the things they told me were behaviors he doesn't even display at home. The one that stood out to me the most was that he stuck his whole arm in the toilet!!! How was he able to go into the bathroom and do that without anyone noticing? When I addressed each thing and all my concerns in the email, the director (Jacqueline) responded, using her physiology multiplication. She basically ignored everything I said and stated that his bad behavior is going to increase due to him not being in school consistently. Mind you they sent him home every time he had a runny nose even if there were no cold symptoms, dad was not comfortable leaving him there, and he had missed more days of school with his other teacher and had no issues. She then proceeded to use the excuse that the teachers can't provide their undivided attention to him, yet again in his other class the teachers weren't able to give their undivided attention due to there being other students and he had no issues... To top it all off she disclosed confidential things that were said separately by dad and I. Almost as if she was trying to start something between us. Not once did she address my concerns on the neglect. All she addressed was how I am trying to attempt to accuse the school of targeting my son. Jacqueline states that they feel there needs to be a foundation made of trust, honest communication, and follow through between the school and the parents, but if your honest communication is not to her liking, she will kick your kid out! Dad and I did our part in talking to our son and explaining to him the behaviors he needs to display at school. And with the approach they took seemed as if we didn't. She does not work with you and your situation. We put our trust in this school every day we dropped him off. Dad has multiple videos of him being neglected and teachers complaining about the kids crying and not listening. Yet all Jacueline could say was he disrespected her teachers and herself. What a joke. To know he was not being treated the way he needed to be and to be shot down when addressing these concerns is disgusting. All she cares about is collecting the money from the parents. I have spoken with multiple people who have dealt with her, and they all have nothing nice to say. Do yourself a favor and don't put your kid in this school.

Sometime around September-October, a charity The Education Fund came by the insurance company I was…read moreworking for at the time. The Education Fund as per its website: "The Education Fund's first program awarded small grants to support teachers' innovative, hands-on classroom projects. Three decades and more than 4,550 "best practice" projects later, our collective programs continue to make a difference in the lives of 350,000+ students/families and 20,000 educators throughout Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Our initiatives have contributed $10.1 million in free classroom supplies. We've engaged hundreds of business professionals to become advocates for teaching quality. We are growing schoolyard eco labs at 51 elementary schools -- 25 are in progress to become Food Forests. More than 32,854 students' eating habits have improved as a result of this multi-dimensional outdoor lab initiative. The objective of each Education Fund program is to work side-by-side with the private sector to support and promote quality public education for every child in Miami-Dade County Public Schools by providing teachers and students with resources they need to be successful." As part of the program, volunteers can be paired with a local Miami Dade County teacher and help teach a class. That way people get to step into the shows of a teacher at least for a short while. I wanted to do this for a number of reasons: 1) I always think that when I approach or end up retiring I would like to teach at the university level. I thought well let me see how I handle this 2) I admire teachers, they are hard working, self-less individuals who work hard for little pay to pass on knowledge to the next generation I asked, of course, for a high school social studies or English class... I got a grade school class with 7 year old... special needs Science. Yeah I was nervous... I was wondering if I could get transferred to another but then I thought of a reason #3 3) I was thinking... you know I want kids in the future... maybe... this could be like training? Making it harder was that I was going thru a lot of issues at work and personally as the time went on and eventually had to move out of Florida and to Ohio. One of the last things I did while in Florida was teach this class. I gave my word to help teach the class, and I am true to my word. I reviewed the lesson plans And then I went to Avocado Elementary School in Homestead, Florida to help teach the class. The teacher Ms. Jackson and I spoke and we had the kids make water rockets. It was a really fun experience. It's funny, I have debated in school, argued in front of full auditoriums in the university and given classes in front of hundreds of people including in conference and I have never been as nervous as when I was talking in front of those kids. They look at you and hang on your every word like no other person... it's incredible. I swear I think I froze for a second. The teacher had them watch videos on water rockets and went over how they work first. I went over with the teacher and aide how to build them. It was fun seeing them so excited and into it. Then we went to launch them... first few times it didn't work but we eventually got to launch them into the air after finding the right ratio of water in the bottle. It was amazing to see the kids have fun as the bottles were launched into the air. Honestly, even I had a lot of fun. When I left, it was sad because a few of the kids cried. I now know how much work teachers put in... I was drained from just a few hours... I always had great respect for teachers... but now much more so. I am still trying to raise money for them as I have another 30 days... but have only been able to raise some from my family... anyway I am so happy I did this... The Education Fund gave me a memory at Avocado Elementary which I will treasure for the rest of my life.

Some seem like in purgatory, others are happy to be teaching children and my kids love most of their teachers. The class sizes seem a little large for the teachers to manage on the general education side. The special ed side has adequate teacher student ratio of 6 to 1 or less. The student population consists of a lot of new immigrants who do not speak English. They put the ESL kids in with general population, which is good, but not all teachers are bi-lingual, so I imagine that contributes to lack of teacher span of control. The teachers suffer from a lack of supplies, which should not be an issue. Expecting teachers to beg parents for supplies is not acceptable. The front desk is a mixed bag. They have been friendly, but have lost paperwork on several occasions. The school pickup / drop off is not too bad since it is in a rural area where you dont have to worry about traffic besides the commercial pickup service Vans who routinely cut and speed.

She has given us plenty of great tips on how to support our son through various challenges. She is a professional you can trust every step of the way. I really appreciate that the school has a strong value system, so kindness and respect are truly FELT in the classrooms. My son is quite sensitive, so it was precious to have peace of mind and know that he feels safe at school. Last but not least, the school administration has been very responsive and forthcoming to meet all our needs. This kind of flexibility and personal approach is impossible to find anywhere else from my experience. I highly recommend Village Montessori to parents that are looking for excellent early education. It's a classic Montessori school with high standards, the teachers and director regularly advance their education, and we could see how the management are constantly striving to improve things - teachers training, free seminars for parents, events, classroom improvements, etc. We are really grateful to Village Montessori, Ms Sujata, Joan, Mike and the team for creating such a special community and experience during the formative years of our child's life!
