I attended Parish from Pre-K through 6th grade. Please bare in mind that I am now in my early 20s,…read moreso this was awhile ago and for all I know the school has changed somewhat. Some of the teachers I had have since retired or moved on to different schools, but I believe Mr. Monaco, the head of school who replaced Gloria Snyder when I was in the elementary school, is still there, so I'm not entirely sure how different the school is. Parish for me was a toss-up when it came to academics: there were some incredibly kind and nurturing teachers who knew how to engage their students, and there were some teachers who should not have been in the classroom at all. What particularly stood out to me about the Parish system, and not in a good way, was how strictly the school wanted kids to adhere to their pace of learning: there was no room for personal intellectual growth. I have a couple examples of this. The first occurred in first grade, when my class had been placed into three distinct reading groups based on how they had scored on standardized tests. Despite being a pretty avid reader at home, I guess I didn't do as well as I should have, because I was placed in the middle-level one. There was a series of chapter books that I had really enjoyed reading at home, so I was overjoyed when my teacher got them for our class library. However, as soon as I pulled one out and started to read, my teacher came over and politely told me that I was not allowed to read those books because my standardized tests had deemed that I wasn't ready. I tried to explain to her that I had read the books at home and had no trouble with them, but to no avail. I don't want to blame the teacher in this instance because looking back, she was one of the better teachers I had at Parish, and I'm sure she was just doing what the school had instructed her to do. Looking back though, I think it's awful that a school would purposely hold a student back from more advanced work and pushing themselves (when they have the full capability to do so) just because a standardized test put them in a specific box. This issue occurred again in sixth grade, when I went to a summer camp for advanced students over the summer that taught me beginning calculus. My mom told my 6th grade math teacher about the camp, and the teacher proceeded to tell her she was wrong in sending me there, as the camp might advance me too much and I would be bored later on. No thought to the fact that I might be ready for more advanced math--just trying to hold me at the level that Parish thought I should be at. In this way, I really felt the school tried to put all its students in boxes of where they "should be" and not allow for individual learning paths. I noticed after the time I left, several kids I knew who were usually at the top of the class ended up transferring to schools like Hockaday and Greenhill, and I can't help but wonder if it was in part for that reason.

I feel like she's well-prepared to start Kinder in the fall. I'm also impressed with the advancements I've seen in my son as he's progressed through the toddler program into the 2s. All of the teachers make an effort to know every child's name and I think that makes them feel very special and included. I appreciate that they went through the process to become accredited and have a strong curriculum in place (while leaving plenty of room for the kids to still have fun). It's also nice that being in a federal building makes you feel like the kids are very safe. There are numerous security measures in place to finally get through the center's door, but nothing that would scare the kids. All of the building's security officers are so sweet with the kids!

She learned a lot, and I knew the staff cared for her on a personal level. I would recommend this center to anyone. My biggest problem was enforcing policies across the board for all children and parents. I felt like my daughter was scratched WAY TOO MUCH! I understand kids scratch, but if the nail clipping policy is enforced and parents are required to cut their daughter's or son's nails, scratches would happen less. Teachers should have nail clippers available at drop-off so parents can clip their children's nails. All in all, whenever I had a critique or comment for staff, it was always heard and respected.

Everyone at DIS cares about our daughter; from her teachers and the teachers assistants that are with her everyday, to the receptionist that greets her daily - "Bonjour!" We love DIS, the community feel, and are so grateful for the opportunities it will provide our daughter.

And I just like an activity where I can have all three kids in one place at one time. Mathnasium gets five stars for several reasons. 1) I appreciate the low student instructor ratio. My kids really get individual attention that is based on their individual abilities. 2) Valerie really gets my children. They're quirky and ADHD, but she somehow manages to keep them engaged and on task. 3) The instructors are gentle and kind. Math can be very intimidating for children who struggle with it, and the instructors are patient but persistent without making children feel stupid or inept. 4) The owner, Elizabeth, can't be more accommodating. Hours are flexible. Kids can be there as often as they need. They can tailor a kid's studies to what's going on at school or what might be missing from a kid's school curriculum in preparation for standardized tests. There are great private tutors in Dallas, but if you can't find one that works with your schedule, I HIGHLY recommend Mathnasium!
