We had issues with West Valley School District and felt our only choice was private school or homeschooling. I am so glad we chose to try VCS. It has been an exceptional experience for us these past 3 years. Moving into Jr High, we see no reason to expect anything different. I'm not saying they are the only good school or that it will be the right fit for your circumstances. But, if you are researching options, they are definitely worth a look.

After a month of attendance, we realized that they weren't feeding our son the bottles we provided. They were literally starving him after accepting the bottles we handed to the staff at every drop off, only a month later telling us that they can't make bottles from scratch, even though at start, we were told an exception would be made for my son as he wasn't on solid foods yet. They ignored my sons basic needs, pure negligence and poor judgment!

I sent the principal a very heated email inquiring as to why my daughter was having to stay up late doing these makeup assignments. The principal, Annie Marshall, sent me an email gaslighting me and my daughter accusing my daughter of not doing the work but ultimately admitted that she had no idea what happened. She pulled my daughter out of class and brought her into the office, and instead of asking her what happened or apologizing to her for what happened, told my daughter that it was her fault and she probably didn't do the assignments and that the teacher probably didn't lose the assignments. I attempted to contact the chairman of the school board, Dustin Seacrest, but the number they give only goes to the school. Found him on Facebook and sent a message with no reply. My daughter also played volleyball here and they kept her on the bench. I emailed the school asking about why she wasn't getting any playing time and the effect that was having on her confidence and self-worth. I received an email from a generic school email address that gave no reason for it. I sent a follow-up email asking for an actual reason and how their actions weren't very Christian like. If anybody would like proof of any of this I have all emails. I can't tell you where to send your kids, but based on my experience as well as my daughter's experiences, I cannot recommend this school at this time.

This is a review of an actual experience at Montessori Central as a parent whose children attended…read morethe school over the course of four years. Montessori Central is a welcoming, nurturing place for all children. Young children learn about the world through hands-on, stimulating, colorful lessons they choose for themselves. I was repeatedly amazed at the things my children learned at such a tender age. One night before bed, when my oldest was four, I said, "I love you to the moon." My child, in a squeaky, little voice, replied, "I love you to the Democratic Republic of The Congo. That's very far!" Then she told me she loved me to the Crab Nebula. :) To this day, that's what we tell each other at bedtime, and she's 17. In terms of the love the owner has for children, I never saw anything to suggest that she or the other staff would single kids out based on ethnicity or nationality. The school does not "use" minority or immigrant children to teach American-born white kids about their culture. These kids are ages three to six. They are just learning to use the potty and eat lunch together. One of my daughters had a first best buddy who spoke no English when she started at Montessori Central. They played together and communicated through that play and through their laughter. Her mom and I became friendly and visited each other's homes while the girls played. We recently ran into that girl at a high school chess tournament; it was so sweet to see how both girls have grown. I will always be glad my kids attended Montessori Central. It is a fine place to give children a rich, warm, welcoming first experience at school. I would hope most people would take a one-star review based on quick judgement with a grain of salt. It was disheartening to stumble upon today while searching for something on Yelp, so I wanted to balance it with input from someone who actually experienced the school for more than 30 minutes.

This review is for a preschool interview process. We didn't end up choosing this place for our…read morechild, but we did a tour, etc. so I thought I'd review that process and get the info about the school more easily accessible. Also, I wanted to make it public that the person we interviewed with implied that she was happy to be serving more wealthy, white children, instead of the poor, brown children which she used to work with in her past. That was a major turn-off in our book. Granted this preschool is located in a more wealthy area of Spokane, and maybe she was trying to sell us on that, like "Oh, hey, it is fancy here" but it was just really off-putting. But, I hesitated to put it in the review, because maybe it was just an offhand misunderstood comment. I think we all say things sometimes that are misunderstood, but then I checked out their website.... and they have this nonsense... "We like to have children of minority races enrolled so that the children can learn about all people and how to exist together happily." So that, to me, was implying that "the children" are white kids, and it is just SO condescending. And that also implies that the "minority race" kids will be singled out to be teaching the other kids about their race. Just kind of weird to me. Anyways, save your time parents, and if you care about enrolling in a truly inclusive preschool I think not. Also this place was majorly expensive! Sept-June half day program was $4200, all day program $7600.
