Bates Elementary School serves the upper region of North Ogden. The school is located on 3100 N in…read moreNorth Ogden. The in and out traffic at this school can be complicated due to the single entrance. The school has been recently added on to. The recent addition has created more space for classrooms. Best way to review a school like this is to use the State office of education website.

Our child went here for nearly 3 years. They have 6 different ways to communicate schedules and I…read morecould never keep up. They use 3 different chats in their own app, text you, and email you. It is extremely disjointed and disorganized. Nothing is planned ahead so if you aren't checking your 6 different inboxes for info from the school you are bound to miss something. But they do make sure to text multiple times to remind you if you leave your kid there after closing on Tuesdays is $5 per minute. So if they want you to receive a message they know how to send it but if it doesn't benefit them you can expect to go hunting for any info you need. The director is cold and short. I couldn't wait to get my kid out of the school. Nothing like what it says on paper. Mrs. Helen is also a horrible teacher she has no patience or care for children. She shushes our child many times when he needed assistance resulting in traumatic experiences that could have easily been avoided if she had any capacity to work with small children.

We really loved the Shakespeare productions held on this stage Mrs. Powell did a great job each year with them. My daughter attended the old school and the new school. The new school has air conditioning and lots of light. The school also is two levels. The head secretary. Mrs. Vigil keeps things running smooth and on track on a daily basis. She is really the brains behind the school working smooth on a day to day basis. Good teachers, good leaders, make this a great school in North Ogden City where my kids have attended.

The hours are 6 AM to 6 PM Monday-Friday, closed weekends & major holidays. Kids are given breakfast at 7:30, Lunch at 11, and a snack at 2 PM. Teachers follow a curriculum to provide kids with art projects, learning, and outdoor play. All teachers are CPR/First Aid certified, have their food handlers, as well as have been background checked. Kids are kept a close eye on as well as engaged with individually to meet their own personal goals and unlock their potential. Great learning experience, and the bonds the teachers share with the children are so special!

Our son started preschool at the Challenger School this year (2021-2022). So far we have been very…read morepleased with the faculty and the program. We recently moved to Utah from California, and our son did not adapt well to the changes - new environment and change of routine. We give a lot of credit to the teachers who played a big part in helping our son adjust and adapt. We have also observed the passion the headmaster has with her job and to the program. She goes out of her way to ensure every child at the school gets the opportunity and attention they need to be successful. She is very easy to talk to and is proactive at addressing inputs/concerns from parents.

I LOVE LITTLE ORCHARD KAYSVILLE! Just by meeting the program director (Michelle Paez) you get a sense of the high standard Little Orchard PreSchool is held to. My 3.5 y/o has a speech delay, mild sensory sensitivity, and severe separation anxiety. Ms. Michelle reassured me that the staff are prepared to help kids with any transitioning difficulties they may experience. They are INCREDIBLY empathetic and patient with each student, my son actually hung out with Ms. Michelle his first 2 days of school and once he felt safe with her; she helped him transition into the classroom without her. The level of compassion and respect they give to our kids is outstanding. Other things I found note worthy... - CLEAN: The facility has a modern and updated interior. The layout is simple and very clean/organized. - STRUCTURED PROGRAM: The program is Montessori based and is very much routined and structured. They have a set daily schedule and implement early education skills (reading, writing, etc.) - GREAT COMMUNICATION: The program director is the bridge of communication between you/your kids and the teachers. This makes communicating thoughts and concerns consistent and easy! If I have a concern about my son, I can just call, text, or email Ms. Michelle and she does the rest. I decided to write this review bc last week I noticed a bruise on my son's face on a day he had school. I reached out to Ms. Michelle and asked if she could check in with his teachers and see if he had an accident or hurt himself. She called me and said that she had talked to all of staff that interacted with my son AND she personally reviewed footage from his school day to make sure there weren't any incidents where he could have been hurt. I just felt very impressed with the level of safety precautions and immediate communication to re-iterate that our children's safety is their top priority. - COMMUNITY: There are activities that families can participate in that make it fun easy to interact with the school community. - PROCARE APP: Little Orchard has a smartphone app where you can sign in/out your child from school, get personal updates from teachers, get pictures/summaries of activities the kids are doing in real time, update personal information, pay tuition, direct message the staff, etc. The app is user friendly, easy to navigate, and makes it easy to never miss an update! Long story short; if you want a community that will enable your kids to thrive socially, emotionally, physically, and academically, CHOOSE LITTLE ORCHARD!

The staff is wonderful and patient. The school is clean and inviting. We really love this preschool!read more
