Our son absolutely thrived here--from the loving care of his teachers to the thoughtfully designed Montessori environment, everything about this school exceeded our expectations. The facility is exceptionally clean, secure, and beautifully maintained. The classrooms are well-equipped for learning, art, music, and play, and the outdoor playground areas are in pristine condition. Every corner of the school reflects intentionality and care, down to the smallest details. The staff is incredibly professional, organized, and compassionate. You can tell how dedicated they are to early childhood development, and it shows in how much our child has grown socially, emotionally, and intellectually during his time at Red Rose. We especially loved the app the school uses to send daily highlights, updates, and photos--it gave us so much peace of mind and helped us feel connected to his day. The school also has a secure, code-access lobby with monitors that allow parents to view classroom activity without disrupting the children, which is a wonderful feature. Another thing that stood out to us were the school events and themed activities. From seasonal celebrations to spirit weeks, the staff always made learning fun and engaging. For parents seeking speech or behavioral therapy, the school partners with an accredited company to provide insurance-accepted services on-site to be integrated into a child's daily routine. Red Rose Montessori has had a profoundly positive impact on our son and our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment in Mountain House.

My experience with Bella Vista Christian Academy was beyond disappointing, and I ultimately removed…read moremy children because of it. The overall environment felt negative and, at times, openly unkind. I witnessed staff speaking to students in ways that were belittling and inappropriate. In one instance, a teacher used name-calling toward students--something that should never happen in any school, especially one that claims to reflect Christian values. Administration was equally frustrating. Concerns from both parents and students were consistently dismissed rather than addressed. Instead of feeling heard, I felt brushed off and judged. During a very difficult time in my personal life, I expected neutrality and professionalism, but instead experienced what felt like bias and a lack of basic understanding. Leadership was particularly concerning. While interactions could appear polite on the surface, the follow-through told a very different story. Decisions felt inconsistent and unfair, making it hard to trust the administration at all. The front office experience made things even worse. Shannon, who is often the first point of contact, was repeatedly rude and unprofessional in my interactions. The tone was unwelcoming and dismissive, which sets a terrible example for both families and students. First impressions matter, and in this case, they reflected a much deeper problem within the school culture. To be fair, not every staff member reflects this environment--Mrs. Quilcy stands out as kind, patient, and genuinely supportive of students. She deserves recognition for the way she treats families. Unfortunately, one positive example does not outweigh the broader issues. For a school that promotes faith and character, the lack of compassion, professionalism, and willingness to listen was deeply disappointing. I cannot recommend this school to families looking for a supportive and respectful environment

My daughter is thirteen and has been attending OAM Studios for the better part of eight years,…read moresince she was five. Before her very first trial class, I was afraid she would have trouble focusing and following directions. (Let's just say that in dance class she had mostly made faces at herself in the mirror or freestyled it unless I expended 200% of my energy making her practice her routines at home.) She went into her first art class wanting to draw a peacock chasing a cat, with no idea how. After an hour, her teacher had modeled a drawing for her, and she had paid attention beautifully, following his directions carefully. The teachers who work there have, from what I understand, been trained to teach art by building skills in sequential stages, helping students accomplish one skill and one project before moving on to the next. I believe this works well for all types of kids, not only for self-guided, serious kids, but especially for the playful ones, who need direction for their ideas. The staff knows how to be serious, but they are also wonderful at relating to some of my daughter's interests and talking to her in ways that I can't. She takes both pottery and the regular two-hour art lessons. Miss Molly and Miss Anissa are her teachers now, and she truly values their instruction and her time with them. OAM Studios continues to teach my daughter the importance of patience, perseverance, and attention to detail, values not only important to artistic growth but also in life. It takes a village to raise a kid, and OAM Studios has been a valuable part of our village.
