Unfortunately, since the change of director few months ago; I personally feel the teachers have…read moretaken the liberty to run the school and set unrealistic rules. My daughter was targeted by two of the teachers in staff. I feel sad to have learned they were making my daughter cry and mis-treating her. When confronted they lie about my child behavior, etc.... and do whatever it takes to protected their jobs. My husband found my daughter crying hysterically in corner (her last day in that school last week). And when questioning teacher they told him it just happen as they were playing with the other kids and ignoring my daughter. They did not ofter us apology or to fix the situation as they have waiting list and my child will just be replace by an other family. All they care is about the money and not the family at all. This whole situation sadness my heart....

My 4 year old son has been attending St. Mark's preschool and aftercare program since he was 18…read moremonths and it has been so great for him. He'll be starting kindergarten in August and he's very well prepared and ahead of the game because of the entire dedicated staff of St. Mark's. They provide progress reports and conferences for the parents, make learning truly fun for the kids, with themed weeks like camping week (during which Ms. Sarah set up an enormous tent in the classroom!) and Dr. Suess week. Every teacher is so hands on, the ratio is around 2 teachers per 4 kids and the class size is small. The administration dept. is kind enough to work with my unusual custody arrangement and go above and beyond to ensure the parents and children are happy. The school is also involved in a lot of charitable organizations for less privileged children, and they have book drives, Christmas pageants and more to make the school a community. Once kids are in a certain age group, they go on field trips to the fire station, parks etc. Sometimes only walking trips! It's safe clean and my son will enter elementary school knowing how to read. Even better? There are scholarship options available!!

If you are contemplating on getting your Real Estate license, you absolutely must give Magnolia…read moreSchool of Real Estate School a go! Michelle Earley is one of the best teachers I have met. I interviewed many of the schools in town and asked, "What makes you unique from the other schools?"For many it was pretty much the same mundane answer. "We have been around a long time." For many people that answer would be good enough but for me I needed to be part of a school that got excited about teaching even if it's a short course. I was not looking to be just another number in their book.My continued research lead me to Magnolia School of Real Estate . I spoke with Michelle on the phone and she invited me to meet in person (she drove all the way to Sarasota from port Charlotte) I was immediately struck by her down to earth , humble and warm demeanour. She patiently explained the class curriculum ,test dates, the schedule and what it would take to pass the exams. (It does require studying ) At the end of our conversation I asked her the same question, "What makes you unique?" here was her answer paraphrased." I love my job!!! I am passionate about helping each student succeed and pass the test so they may have the opportunity to find a career and financial freedom to take care of themselves and family." Seriously who says that ? I signed up that same day. In the classroom Michelle is energetic engaging, passionate and funny. She spends time with each student encouraging and providing any support they may need to feel comfortable about the material being taught. She fosters an environment that allows each student to connect with each other , to form study groups and feel confident in their ability to pass the test. I can now see why she has a very high pass rate in all her classes! Michelle is some kind of wonderful, a gift to all who passes through her door. If you are still wavering after reading the reviews on who to take your class with, just pick up the phone, talk to Michelle you will see exactly what I am talking about!

I passed the state exam on my first attempt, and I truly credit this course for that success. Michelle has a gift for teaching adults and keeps you engaged from start to finish. The material is presented in a way that really sticks. I completed all the practice exams, reviewed areas where I needed extra help, and felt fully prepared going into the exam. I also loved that the course was self-paced. From purchase to exam, it took me around two weeks. Corena, who is a phone call or email away if you have questions is wonderful and responsive. Overall, a fantastic experience. If you're looking for the right school, in my opinion, this is it!
