    My daughter started going here this year and we absolutely love it. She's in second grade and has…read moreMrs. Carpenter as her teacher. I have never known a more dedicated teacher in my life, she is truly an amazing person. I love all the activities they have during the year as well.

    I am TOTALLY DISGUSTED by Coyote Ridge Elementary School. My daughter has gone there since the 1st…read moregrade. I let them know yesterday that we now lived in Peters Colony District and would be transferring her there. They told me at the time of filling out her withdrawal papers Friday, that they would collect her books and iPad.... Understandable. Well they decided that they would do it TODAY instead... Leaving her with nothing when she has yet one more day there, mortifying my child in front of her entire class. OH AND THIS IS NOT ALL. At the beginning of the year, her lunch card ran out of money and the auto-notification that usually sends emails to me to let me know what her balance is low was not functioning properly. There was a day they actually did not give her lunch because they said her lunch card was out of money. They also threatened to not give her lunch the following day if I did not fill up her card. I called the lunch lady about this directly and they promised me someone would call and they never did.. Who does that?? A few days ago Chloe had pretty extensive surgery on her hands and I emailed her teacher, Mrs. Wittenauer and asked her to please email me and send her to the nurse if her hands started hurting too badly. I never heard back from her teacher and at the end of the day Chloe told me her hands were hurting so bad she felt sick to her stomach and her teacher would not let her go to the nurse. Awful. A few days ago, myself as well as a few other parents pulled up to the school a few minutes before the bell was about to ring and one of the administrators walked in the door that's on the side of the building and let the door slam in three kids faces, knowing they were standing right there. Despite needing to get to work, I parked my car got out and escorted these kids to the front of the building way around the other side to make sure that they got in safely. The principal herself Mrs. Jacobsen told me to my face "Well that's why we ask parents to bring them around to the front if they're late." WELL HOW ABOUT MAKING SURE OR KIDS ARE SAFE ALSO INCASE PARENTS HAVE ALREADY PULLED OFF?? Well luckily I was still there to help those kids get in okay. Again who does this? Anytime there's a fundraiser we bring many many dollars to the table. Not that that's everything but we always contribute to and support the school. The Halloween party they throw annually is a total sham. What working parent can get to a party by 6:00 PM and really in truly do everything that they have there by 8:00 PM? Plus, when Chloe first started at the school, the lunch lady came up to my daughter in front of everyone and YELLED in her face (another parent told me this!!!) because she accidentally took a milk and didn't know it didn't come with a lunch and "did not pay for it." My daughter was terrified to go back to school for a week and I never got an apology for that one... All in all I can honestly say I am thankful that we are no longer going to be a part of Coyote Ridge and I am beyond disappointed and the staff.

    Douglas Hogan and how he runs the day-school - calling him a tyrant would be too nice. I watched…read morehim scream at kids, for years. There was one boy in particular, Nathan W. The boy had some sort of cognitive disorder and was in special ed. He would scream at Nathan for being too loud and, when Nathan would start crying, he would grab Nathan by his arm and literally drag the boy to time outs. When Nathan would continue to cry, Doug would yell across the room at him to "be quiet or he would have to be sent to time out in the back" (which is always what happened). Nathan was far, far from the only child this happened too. Rather, Nathan was simply a young disabled boy who never heard a kind word out of Doug's mouth. And the way he hides the shouting from parents or tries to pass it off as some type of "discipline" is just sickening. Saw a post on Facebook from a young woman named Stevie. I remember one of the last times I ever saw her at Glen Hollow, she had a bad sinus infection and was scared because the snot was bloody and she thought her nose was bleeding. She had paper towels shoved against her nose for ages but the "bleeding didn't stop" because it was that she actually just needed to blow all the bloody snot from her sinuses out. Doug tried to tell her this eventually and tried to wrestle the napkins from her face and hands. She screamed bloody murder until he finally stopped because she saw a lot of blood. I was far enough away and a couple years older such that I could see and understand that Doug was indeed correct. But all he did was say, "you're wrong, it's just your sinuses, stop being silly, stop acting like a baby"....etc. So, he didn't actually help her at her young age to understand and feel safe. He screamed at her, then sighed and said, "whatever" before walking off and left her to keep crying with a face full of napkins. Sometimes Doug took a group of kids out boating on the weekend. Usually, we would bring a large raft to pull along behind on the boat. One day, a boy named Rhyce came along and was told to (by Doug) hold on to the raft. Well, once everyone got settled and we got going, the raft eventually flew out behind the boat. Well, it just so happens that Doug never once told Rhyce to let go of the raft once the boat got faster and being a young boy, Rhyce did as he was told. Next thing we know, everyone in the front of the boat turns around to Doug screaming at Rhyce at the top of his lungs because the raft rope had absolutely shredded Rhyce's hands and we had to immediately go back to the dock so he could be taken to the ER. The entire ride back was miserable because Doug was screaming at Rhyce about how he could have possibly done something so dumb that obviously caused such harm. It wasn't until years later, as an adult myself, I realized that Rhyce wasn't the stupid one. He was an innocent child. Also, are parents, especially of young girls aware that Doug Hogan has, for the entire time I've known him, "tickled" young girls? Always while they're playing and having a good time and "just tickling" them on the side. Look, let me tell you now that I'm a grown adult - even if I believed a middle aged man "tickling" young girls at his daycare was that innocent, why haven't parents stopped it after all these years? Now, he did it the ENTIRE time I attended Glen Hollow Day School and it wasn't only to girls. Some parents need to start asking their kids who went to that place some actual questions about how he screamed at kids, dragged them around by their arm or with a hand around the back of their necks, and how he likes to play with kids by tickling them. Douglas James Hogan is nothing more than a bully who, after leaving the marines, thought it would be a good idea to work with developing children because of his credentials in psychology. It's 2025 and it's time the truth about how horrible this man treated so many kids comes out. People want to sit back and say, "he made kids learn so much. they were ahead of all the other kids". Yeah, look, I went to private school before attending Glen Hollow and was learning multiplication by first grade - my mother can confirm - St. Mary's Catholic School. If you care so much about your kids education, send them to better schools and academic summer camps, not at this sham of a place. Parents, it's time to wake up. And to the former "students" of his, I have a pretty good memory and about half the people I see posting talking about how much he "helped" them, are the same people I can distinctly remember times he made them cry. Don't pay a bully to watch your children - it's not worth it.

    We started our daughter at Starwood in the Toddler Program right when she turned 18 months and we…read morecouldn't be happier about our decision. The teachers and staff are amazing. So caring, kind and invested in our daughter and her well being. I can't say enough about the two guides in her classroom as well and how nurturing they are and dedicated to her development. I couldn't trust them more! We get regular updates via the story park app on her progress and they are quick to respond if I ever reach out with a question. We are so impressed with her development over the past 3 months. Her vocabulary has skyrocketed as well as her independence at home. The school has so many events parents can participate in and really feel a part of the Montessori journey alongside the student. We immediately felt welcomed and a part of this amazing Starwood Community!

    My son was in the toddler program and is now in the Primary program. As far as we're concerned,…read morehe'll go here through 8th grade. It's a second home for him, where the adults are warm but highly professional and reliable. My son has learned how to care for his environment, for his peers, he's learned how to bake, set a table, share a meal. The faculty is communicative and our son feels so loved by not just his peers and teacher, but everyone there. The school events are always enjoyable and educational. The campus is beautiful and adheres to Montessori above and beyond the 4 other Montessori schools in the area I toured, interviewed, and considered. We trust Starwood wholeheartedly with our son's safety, well-being and education because after 4 years, we absolutely know we can.
