This morning was a tough one, and there was no way around the school bus, so I had my child walk about 200 yards to his class (which I NEVER do), which was not in my vision. I called the office and asked if they could just confirm he got there, and Jeanette told me she could not. Wow, really??? She said they are not allowed to tell callers if a child made it to class or not, but I could come down there and ask in person. Well that is really inconvenient, say if it were his father calling, due to me being out of town, and he works 2 hours away! Anyway enough ranting about their "rules". *** I am very happy with the new principal, Mr. Tanaka, who came in this year and completely changed the way things were ran at this school. We abhorred Vinewood last year, and the previous principal was less than adequate. But Mr. Tanaka really cares about the children, and has made changes that have changed the school for the better. Hopefully he is the deciding factor in getting Vinewood's reputation back up to excellent, as it was 8+ years ago.*** ***Mr. Tanaka is an asset to this school, and I and other parents I talk too hope he stays awhile.***

Saint Anne's is a structured school with plenty of rules, which is somewhat a standard for private…read moreeducation. It has its ups and downs. My kiddos definitely had different experiences there because of the kids and types of families in the class. My eldest, the parents in the class were horrible! Uppity, judgmental and snooty. Horrible people who acted like their kids are impressionable (not!). I've actually learned later on that their kids were horrible bullies, which is not surprising considering how their moms acted (the dads were fine, moms were drama). If their kid's status was threatened by a smarter, more athletic child, best believe some moms in that class won't hesitate to bully a 12 year old. My youngest, on the other hand, had an amazing time at STA. Her class was tight knit thanks to better parents with excellent parenting and people skills. It was an inclusive and supportive group. They were focused on the kids and not the parent clicks. Definitely a night and day experience.

I had mixed feelings about writing a review for this school only because I am not a person to be…read moreugly or hateful with my words. I had 2 children that went here for 2 school years. The younger of my daughters enrolled there was threaten by another student multiple times to not harm her but kill her. The harassment went on for two years. I can understand if a child has a hard home life but the parents should have the child analyzed by a psychiatric dept. I guess the school was more worried about the money and volunteering that students family was able to offer that she was protected more than my child. It has made me feel there is not higher standard to hold child and their families accountable for the harassment my child received for two years there. I would hope they would realize that any threats of violence should be taken seriously against another student multiple times from the same student would not go without my daughter's safety first being in mind. This day and age with how Christians are always targets from those who don't believe in the divinity, my child should have been protected better. There are a lot of great parents there that support the school, but a lot of entitled kinds. Not very humble nor as Christian as I'd hope. The school does have a good curriculum and has a lot to offer education wise to prepare your children for the next phase of high school.

The school has helped our son grow not only academically, but also as a person, bringing a sense of light and joy into his life that carries over into our home every day. St. Peter provides an excellent balance between strong academic standards and the development of character and values. The foundation of faith is thoughtfully integrated, helping students build a moral compass rooted in kindness, respect, and compassion. Even for families who may not be particularly religious, the emphasis on values and personal growth is incredibly meaningful. The school nurtures children to become happy, loving, and thoughtful individuals who understand what truly matters. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the St. Peter community. It has truly been a blessing for our family, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Long story short, DO NOT bring your kids to the tour if you want to be offered enrollment. I'm…read morewriting this to inform and share my experience I had with St. Peter's administrative staff. I am not a parent at St. Peter's just tried to enroll my kids because our school shut down. I scheduled a tour for a Friday with Terrie Hinders and I brought my two kids with me so they could see the school also. They were very excited to meet new staff and see potential classrooms. As we were touring their future classrooms the girls were checking out all the fun stuff that the classes had to offer including touching items in the classrooms that would be available to them next year. We then scheduled to come back and take the assessment test on Monday. Terrie also informed me that the assessment test is not a make it or break it. There's two different classes for elementary school and they split the classes by gender and intelligence. Staff will also move your child halfway through the school year if they feel they aren't excelling in the class they started in. We came back Monday went through with the assessment test and she said we would know the results tomorrow. Tomorrow came and no call or email. Throughout the week I called and emailed with no answer about the test. It took over a week to get voicemail back informing us that we were not going to be offered enrollment . So of course I want to know why so I called and actually got to talk to her finally after a week. The reason my kids didn't get accepted is because when I went on the tour with them on Friday they touched stuff in the classrooms that wasn't theirs. Items available to students if they were in said classroom. So technically playing with toys in future classrooms they were viewing/touring. They're 5 and 7. She also mentioned touching something on the teachers desk that wasn't theirs while the teacher was in her classroom talking to girls at her desk. So if that wasn't enough, if they decided that Friday why would you waste our time and string us along including coming back on Monday to take an assessment test and waiting over a week for results when you already made a decision. Then telling me if I didn't bring them to the tour this would probably be a different outcome. So just a warning to all future parents of St. Peter's if you're going in to tour the school don't bring your kids. The minute that you walk through the doors they're judging you so tread lightly.

The sisters (all three) and staff are pretty awesome and really go out of their way to show you that they care. Our daughter is really advanced for her age and they made sure that they constantly challenged her to keep her engaged. In the 1st grade she was reading at a 5th grade level and LoMo played a big part in that. Although we had a rough patch with our son they worked with us to find a solution. We collaborated on what works and what doesn't work to correct his behavior which is rare from facilities like this. Most of them time at other facilities it plays out like this: your kid is a problem, they did X, you need to punish them to correct it, if it continues we will kick you out. Finding a solution wasn't quick or easy but together we corrected the issue while giving each other constructive feedback along the way. That is honestly why they get 5 stars. I am no pushover and can be hard to work with because I hold people accountable while being blunt. We did use another daycare in Lodi before my son was eligible to attend LoMo and the difference was obvious. LoMo is a school, other places in Lodi for this age group are daycare. They also go out of their way to put on special events for holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving whole holding lunches and breakfasts with parents. Overall they treat you like family and really care for your kids as if they were their own. What more could you ask for? Thank you for all that you've done! We will miss you!

She teaches everything they need to know to be prepared for the next grade and makes learning fun with the holidays, art, science experiments and more. I always got messages and pictures of my son which I liked a lot. The entire staff is wonderful too and works hard to run an amazing school that is very clean and safe. I highly recommend Lodi Montessori if you want the best for your child.
