I had a stock sound system, nothing that was beyond the legal limit. I spent the night in jail and they ruined my start on life as a young adult, it was hard to get a job and I could no longer go to O'Connor events to see my younger siblings grow up and play sports for the school. These officers were tyrants and ruined many children's lives and futures, they should be ashamed. They even took me back to the school and handcuffed me to a chair in their office for 3 hours while my wrists bled & called in head coach Maleskey, who screamed and spit in my face. These individuals are a disgrace to the O'Connor name.

I put my child in this so called great school for 2 years but pulled her out because of how…read moreunorganized this school is, and the lack of responsibility from the teachers. When they first opened up the school it went only up to 7th grade instead of a full middle school.The second year they added 8th grade knowing there was not a lot of room for any of the students and they know this school is small. Another this is the car line it is utterly ridiculous! There are so many students and we the parents need to get to work. The first year the car line was not as bad but the second year OMG they waited to open the doors at 7:15 knowing they have a lot of kids and I just don't understand why they couldn't open it at 7:00 and allow the kids in. Another thing about the school is the teachers especially the middle school teachers they have no respect whatsoever for your kids. My daughter would go and ask her teachers for help when she didn't understand something and they would tell her to go look in the book. How would she go look into the book if she doesn't even know what she's looking at in the book! Another problem with the school is the Admin. They do their job poorly and don't deserve that position whenever there is a situation they don't do anything to resolve the situation. My daughter was body shamed by a kid and she reported the situation and they didn't do anything. Her friend got her parents called for talking without permission yes I understand that students should not call out but is it that necessary to call their parents? My daughter also witnessed a teacher yelling at a special needs student for being g to loud in the hall that poor kid did not deserve that and I can only imagine what else they do to those poor kids in the special classes. All middle school students are forced to learn Latin. The former teacher who was my daughter's teacher who quit his job (gladly) never helped the students, in their personal space, and obviously had no experience working with kids he was a horrible teacher. The problem with the teachers at invictus is that they take advantage of being a teacher who has a higher position and bully's these kids. This is a terrible school I don't recommend putting your kids through this prison at all!

I love their use of the communication app and love receiving updates and photos of her day.

She comes home teaching me the songs and dances she learns in class, has an amazing vocabulary and already knows so many words in ASL that I hope to continue with her. Forever grateful to LODS and their amazing teachers!

Every person there truly treats your children as their own. Ms. Jeanette, Ms. Tenni, Ms. Mellie, and every teacher there are literal angels! I remember the anxiety I had when I began searching for a daycare for my first daughter, but when I walked into Little Oaks that all completely melted away. The way learning and love is incorporated there is something that I have not seen at any other facility. My daughters and my whole family have felt so special and heard and taken care of during our time at Little Oaks and that is a gift that I will always treasure. My daughters have had such amazing hands on learning opportunities while there, including growing their own plants, milking cows with a dairy farmer, and learning from first responders-just to name a few! My daughter and I felt so confident when she started kindergarten because we had no doubts that she was ready both socially and academically because of how thorough LODS had been in preparing her. I have referred countless people to LODS over the years and I will continue to do so even when my daughter ages out this year. If you are considering childcare for your kids, look no further than Little Oaks Discovery School!

The kids learn through play...how human beings were designed to learn. When people see how WELL their kids learn and how HAPPY they are learning, it's not uncommon for people to get a strange sensation of both happiness and sadness. I believe that's because we intuitively understand that was the educational experience WE were supposed to have as kids but never did. Oh, and the kids are actually sad when they can't go to school and learn new things. That's exactly the kind of education system our nation so desperately needs.

Felt our child was not safe…read more Our child attenteded the Farmhouse program (3-5 years old) in January 2022 and we withdrew him about 4 weeks into the program. The issue that made us withdraw our child had to do with an inclement weather situation. At the time, the farmhouse program was very fluid between indoor and outdoor activities, with the child being able to decide what he/she wanted to do. The problem arose when inclement weather struck combined with a minor COVID outbreak. 1. COVID Policy: If there was a COVID case, the policy was to close the indoor spaces and have the kids be outside only due to not having enough space to safely accommodate all 37 students - this was perfectly acceptable 2. The Inclement Weather: When inclement weather struck (high of 34 degrees), the Farmhouse program remained open and we were given instructions to bundle our kids so they could handle being outdoors for the entire duration of the classtime. We did not feel comfortable leaving our child out in near freezing weather for three hours straight 3. What Puzzled Us The most: our understanding was that all the other programs (Kinder-8th) - which had enough space to safely accommodate the children indoors - were going to be entirely indoors due to the inclement weather. It was only the Farmhouse Program which would be outdoors, and to reiterate, it would be outdoors for the entire three hours of the program We  felt that it would be inhumane of us to send our child out in the cold when we ourselves wouldn't be out there, so we kept our child home during those days of inclement weather. However, as we thought about it more, we realized it would have been perfectly acceptable of the school to ask parents to keep their children those days due to the unfortunate timing of events with the indoor space issues they had and the COVID outbreak. But to make the decision to keep the school open and feel comfortable having pre-school age children in near freezing weather for three hours straight raised an immediate red flag as to other decisions that might be made in the future. There were other smaller red flags with decisions like these, but this one made it very clear we needed to withdraw our child. There were absolutely good things about the program itself that we liked and it is hard to write a review like this given that the program itself seemed to have merit over a traditional school setting. We also intentionally waited 6 months after the incident to write the review so as not to write out of emotion. We hope this review helps others and also would be ecstatic to find out that those policies/decisions have changed.
