Both of my daughters attended this school…read more Two minutes into our initial tour of this school, a calm and peaceful feeling came over me, and I just knew that this would be the right school for my daughter. My wife felt the same way. Picking your child's first school is a very important step in parenthood. I was nervous and excited for my daughter to start her educational career at Adobe Montessori. So much so that I actually spent the first day of school sitting in my car in the parking lot, just in case the school needed me to pick her up for any reason. She loved the school from the first day, and I was so relieved. This school was the perfect fit for her. We loved the school so much that when the time came for our younger daughter to go to start school, we had her attend the same school. My family trusts the staff there. They are all good people. They genuinely cared for my children and my children loved them. I owe them my deepest appreciation for helping to mold my children into good people. Adobe Montessori was more than just a school, it is a place that works with families to teach their children how to be independent thinkers. My children are in the public school system now. They are in a more "traditional" system. I know that a lot of parents out there worry about how their children will transition into a traditional school. When your child leaves Adobe Montessori, he/she will already be trained to adapt to any situations the traditional school system present. Adobe Montessori is a great first step in your child's journey into the world of education.

Adobe Montessori is a fantastic preschool. It's not cheap, but not as expensive as some of the…read moreother area Montessori schools. It's worth every penny. I never worry about the safety or emotional well-being of my daughter while she's at school. My daughter is in Mrs. Coleman's class, and you couldn't ask for a better preschool teacher. She and her teaching assistant, Jessica, are kind and patient with the children, but also teach them what behavior is not acceptable. Not only does my daughter learn the educational building blocks she'll need for elementary school (reading, writing, arithmetic), but she learns good manners, sharing, being polite, and being a good friend to all. As she tells me, "We're all friends at Adobe Montessori." Adobe also has a flexible "pay what you use" pre- and after-care policy, rather than charging a set fee regardless of how much after-care you use. The school is also in a lovely setting with a grass courtyard; I toured over a dozen preschools, and this was one of the only ones to get natural light into the classrooms. The playground has modern equipment (fun, but still safe for preschoolers), and the school has a variety of activities throughout the year (petting zoo, parent parties, parent education nights, an annual operetta put on by the children). They also offer dance and music classes.

Tree Roots Montessori

Choosing a pre-K school or daycare for your little one is stressful, especially when research has…read moreshown that the years before kindergarten are crucial for learning and development. Parents strive to find the right place where their child can have the best chance of success. Whether or not you adhere to the Montessori principles, Tree Roots Montessori (TRM) is a top-notch environment for any child. Here's why we chose TRM and stayed there for 3 years (ages 2-5): 1. The staff operates under a growth mindset. We experienced a positive relationship with Ms. Hulya and her staff. Ms. Hulya has over 15+ years of experience and demonstrates a desire to stay current and advance her professional development. She attends yearly workshops and maintains a curiosity for learning. When you find an educator with such deep passion for teaching, it makes a night-and-day difference for your child. 2. The setting is ripe for learning. It's obvious that everything at this school is designed to advance and elevate the students' learning experiences. This space is purposefully curated, impeccably organized, and remarkably clean. It continues to pass official health inspections by always adhering to their standards. Think of TRM as a daily retreat or sanctuary for your kids. 3. Intimacy yields social and emotional development. The teacher-child ratio is optimal (including Ms. Hulya, there are 2 additional assistants on-site). The small class size helped our kid develop deeper relationships with other kids and gain a sense of collective responsibility. As younger kids grow and progress, they are encouraged to provide mentorship for incoming kids. It's these relationships that emphasize social and emotional development, making academic achievements possible (i.e. reading, writing, math skills, etc.). 4. Mealtimes cultivate positive experiences with food. We wanted a place that stressed good nutrition and smart eating habits. TRM always has snacks on-hand (from Whole Foods) and follows a strict policy of 'no sugar or junk food' in lunches. Kids participate in setting the table and loading dishwasher, eating their veggies first, and helping with meal prep. These communal eating experiences and regular cooking activities also led to good dining etiquette and meal planning for our family at home. 5. Trust and transparency are key to everyone. Much of TRM successes are attributed to Ms. Hulya and her teaching philosophy. This is why parents must equally invest in developing a transparent working relationship with her. We found Ms. Hulya to be open to our suggestions, honest in addressing our concerns, and willing to provide reasonable solutions for any course correction. Her communication was warm and friendly; mostly done via in-person or phone call (sometimes via text message or email). Overall, we wouldn't trade our experiences at TRM for anything. Our child felt the support of educators who invested in his development within a loving environment. He now has self-confidence and social skills needed to transition to kindergarten. He has an enthusiasm for learning, creating the building blocks for academic success. He also discovered passions (like cooking and painting) that we'll continue to foster. We know it's not always easy to find the right learning environment for your child. Choosing a school can be a trial-and-error process. If TRM is a good fit, you will not be disappointed. Hope this review is helpful --- and good luck!!

My daughter has been with Tree Roots since she was 2 and is now 4. She will be attending until…read moreKindergarten because of how vital Tree Roots is to our lives. Not only has she had one on one education since the day she started, but she has grown so close to her school friends over her time here. Mrs. Hulya and Ms. Patti are two of the most kind, loving, and gentle teachers we could have hoped for. From gardening to swimming to fostering independence... the skills she has learned at her time here are beyond sufficient to build the strongest foundation for her future. I only wish every child had the opportunity to benefit from such an amazing institution.

If your child has disabilities they WILL NOT get the support and assistance justifiably needed for…read moretheir educational needs. I would NEVER recommend a parent taking their child or children to Kyrene Middle School if they have disabilities. I've been fighting them since 6th grade to do an Evaluation on my child who has been medically diagnosed with Autisim and other disabilities through a psychologist and other professionals who can diagnose disabilities. Barely able to finally get them to evaluate my child during this year as a 7th grader. However as per IDEA act of 2004 the school and district did not comply with the laws and complete the Evaluation in the appropriate time frame. I had to file a complaint with the Az Education School Board. My child has been through so much this year and we've had to attend so many meetings both for their 504 Plan and for trying to attain an IEP. Last but not least An Individual Education Evaluation was done on my child by an outside party not associated with the Kyrene School district and paid for by the district. Hoping this Evaluation would help to attain my child an IEP. My child has once again been denied. We've had 3 instances where we've been told by staff at KMS that my child may have medical diagnoses of disabilities, but educationally it is not prevalent. Yet my child struggles yearly and without her parents being on top of them their grades would be F or Ds. 3 meetings this year we have been told my child is not eligible for an IEP and only Eligible for an 504 Plan because the needs of my child are better met through the 504. I wish this were true, but staff are not held accountable and plenty of staff I feel are just there for a pay check and do not want to put the extra effort in to help students with special needs. Children with special needs seem to consistently fall through the cracks, especially if their higher functioning. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD TO KYRENE IF THEY HAVE DISABILITIES. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL AS HAS BEEN WITH OUR CASE.
