The focus on independence, learning how to learn, choice, working with others, manners and social skills were what we wanted for him. We found all of this and more at Coeur d'Alene Montessori. Ms. Diane's experience and dedication are evident in the structure and management of the school. The staff that she has assembled is both knowledgeable and nurturing. They interact well with children and communicate openly with parents. We have observed this school during class time and appreciate the thoughtful engagement of students in their learning. We love the way the students talk to each other and their teachers. It is a warm, respectful, and joyful environment. Our grandson literally ran into the classroom and settled in from day one. No tears or clinging, just exuberance to be in this place... learning, growing, and being a four year old. Thank you Coeur d'Alene Montessori.

For the most part our children look forward to going to daycare, my daughter especially is excited to see her friends everyday. They always do a craft everyday, which I know my kids really enjoy.

Our 3 year olds were in this daycare until we were told to basically find another- one of our twins…read morewas having some issues communicating with the staff (speech therapy was recommended and we were working with our pediatrician), learning routines, sitting and paying attention during lessons and story time, and sharing toys with other children. No- not biting, hitting, any other behaviors you would expect would get your kid kicked out. Most frustrating is that there were never any formal meetings to even discuss the possibility that if these things weren't fixed, we'd be kicked out. We didn't see it coming and had to scramble to find new childcare. The behaviors she exhibited are normal 3-year-old behaviors that might take some kids longer than others to work through. I feel the staff is either stretched too thin or doesn't have the patience or energy needed to work with little learners of all levels. We felt extremely blind-sighted by this decision and heart-broken for our kids who now have to start somewhere else, leave their friends and learn new routines. It was already hard enough leaving our only kids in the hands of someone else, and now I'm facing a ton of anxiety all over again hoping this doesn't happen to us again and our kids won't be given up on as easily as Meadow Wood gave up on them. Before this happened, I did appreciate many things about this daycare. The Brightwheel app is convenient and they update you/post pictures of your kids throughout the day. During summer there were a lot of extra activities like field trips and a magic show. Some of the teachers were really nice to us (we saw some be pretty snippy with the kids at times though). We always knew about injuries via an incident report. Payment was easy. Lots for littles to do and different enrichment activities that matched the seasons. Open at 6:00AM for parents who need to get to work early. However, unless your kids are really good at sitting still, following routines, and don't cause a lot of problems for the staff in general, they might tell you to find somewhere else better suited to your child's needs and that they can't offer the 1:1 that your child needs because they have a lot of kids to watch already.

After touring Giggling Guest I was so impressed there was no way we were sending her anywhere else. The facility is small (less cooties and more personal service). You can tell by the way my daughter talks about her teachers that she feels cared for. The entire staff knows her name, not just her teachers. She is happy when I drop her off and when I pick her up. Another bonus is the hi mama app the facility uses to communicate with parents. I know when she ate, slept, went potty, and I even get pictures of her.

You womt find…read moreanother school like St Dominics where your daughter will receive such a good sound Catholic education and formation for life. 6th grade was the turning point where classes and school become more difficult. Because the sisters dont use internet or computers and media as most people do nowadays communication is definitely much slower than one would expect in our day and age. This is in part because the sisters do all the teaching and caring for school grounds etc and they dont hire someone to be secretarty they take turns doing that too so this keeps the cost of the school very affordable. My older daughter seems happy there but she is at the age where the grass is greener on the other side and school is hard. This is normal at this age. I remember going through it as well. She gets along w some of the teachers better than others. Again. Normal. Is the school perfect? No. Are the kids who go their perfect or teachers perfect? No. Theyre human. Most definitely the school is a blessing however challenging it is. Our children nowadays need to learn that they "can do hard things". I wish someone had taken the trouble to teach me this before i became a Mother.
