My daughter did 1st grade to 6th and this has been the best school. Ms Amy, incredible teacher!read more

My son has attended Shady Oaks since October 2011, beginning in the toddler program at the age of 2…read moreand continuing into the primary class (age 3-5). I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Montessori. I had a difficult time initially understanding how the system would work. Without structured lessons, how can your child earn the necessities like reading and numbers? It turns out that by allowing my son to spend as long as HE wants on a given activity he has flourished and gone so much farther than I'd ever imagined a child his age could in the subjects that most interest him. He's working with numbers in the 10,000s and can complete geography puzzles that would have me stumped. He spent months sewing yarn on square canvases to create a box, a little bit each day. I'm astonished by the focus and dedication a child under 6 can have to a project when allowed to work on what they choose, instead of at the teacher's behest. It's been a truly eye-opening experience about education. We are definitely Montessori converts and our 2 year old will be joining in the Fall. All the teachers and staff members are kind and attentive with many years of Montessori experience. They've encouraged my son to learn while guiding him through the lessons at his pace. He's excited to show me his work and takes pride in his accomplishments. It's been an awesome experience.

Great school, great teachers My daughter has the sweetest…read morememories from this preschool

I really cannot say enough about this preschool. If you aren't familiar with the Montessori Method,…read moreyou truly are doing your child a disservice. It is the only way to go for the Pre-K years. My daughter went here for three years before entering a traditional elementary school, and it was truly a wonderful experience; we felt she was loved by the teachers and encouraged to use her voice and interests to grow and develop her own little self. The Montessori Method is the only way to go for pre-school, and this school embraced the method fully. My daughter's confidence, academics and social skills blossomed while attending. I loved that there is a parent observation room (with a mirror so students can't see you), and parents are welcome to observe any time. Whereas other preschools have rigid rules and policies, children at this preschool aren't punished or shamed for wanting snack when they are hungry; wanting to master a certain art project; and/or take responsibility for their actions. They encourage kids to be independent and master their interests before moving on to the next thing. I loved that the teachers are all parents themselves, and have been with the school for years and years. My child is now in Kindergarten and is excelling in academics and socially as well. Her Kinder teacher tells us she is focused, is beyond proficient in her reading, writing and math, and is known to all as a kind friend. I know much of that has to do with parenting, but also some of it is the fact that she attended the Montessori School. Thank you CMCH for three great years of pre-school!

My son is in second grade. He started preschool when he was 2 years old at the connected preschool,…read moreearly foundations children's academy. Once he was 4 years old he was able to transfer to St. Joseph's for TK. His teacher, Mrs. Mangas was great. My son was always excited to go to school and always came home singing the cutest songs. He learned SO much in that one year of TK. For kindergarten he was in Mrs. Ramirez's class and it was another wonderful experience. In his kindergarten year I really noticed his social skills developing and he was always talking about the friends he was making. One thing I also noticed is that they did so many hands on projects in Mrs. Ramirez's class. My son did have some behavioral issues while in kindergarten and Mrs. Ramirez was really great about discussing the issues and trying to brainstorm resolutions together after school. This was really helpful because I would do the same things she was doing to help him in class at home, and us being on the same page really helped him. My son is coming to the end of his first grade year and is now in Mrs. Schwartz's class. He loves his teacher and has learned an unbelievable amount of academics this year. They did a really cute play too! They also have an atrium that is sort of like a Montessori classroom set up where the kids get to go explore and learn through hands on activities. My son loves atrium. Another thing that he enjoys is his music class. I really like the smaller community and how involved all of the parents are in their children's success. St. Joseph's has been an amazing blessing to my family and I look forward to having my youngest start when she is old enough for preschool! I have no doubt that my kids are going to have bright futures after attending St. Joseph's!

This school culls less-than-desirable elements from it's student body/parents. If you are a…read moreyummy-mummy, can be a wealthy financial/volunteer donor or if you are a legacy family from the parish, St Josephs school will love you and you will love it. The teachers are wonderful and the education/curriculum is first-rate. If you are a working parent or your child needs any kind of individualized attention from the teacher (think dyslexia or manageable ADHD), the principal will cancel a parent/teacher meeting, reschedule it, and call you at work to come in you ahead of time to his office alone to give you a spiel. You will not be allowed to speak, and no spouse or teacher will be present. The current principal (10/2019) is an educator accustomed to, apparently, submissive behavior from parents and respectful compliance from teachers and students. His own child, he explains, has an IEP. But since private schools do not get funding as public schools do, it's quietly known that he invites parents to leave his school if an IEP is needed for a "nobody student". If you have Ivy League aspirations and a very compliant child, this is a gold-star facility. Otherwise, it will leave you confused and scrambling to find a new school home for your child halfway through the year, or whenever the principal has decided your child isn't worth the teacher's effort. In this case, please seek out the other private religious educational facility in the Redding area, or a Charter school. I'm cutting up my expensive St. Joseph shirts into cleaning rags tonight. My son is not beyond their teaching capabilities even if this isn't the era of nuns with rulers any longer. "Serviam", indeed.
