I am writing the review based off of an employment not as a parent with a student that goes here…read more My sister has been working here for 6 months now and really enjoys herself. She started in the summer program and really enjoyed the different activities they had throughout the summer for the kids. For example they took the kids swimming every Wednesday, they would have the reptile house or the butterfly pavilion come in several times with different activities for student learning, And they had many discoveries own learning projects that were hands-on for students. When you look at the facility it is very uniquely designed but it looks really cool and they have a lot of hands on activities even outside like gardens and greenhouses. The Montessori is a community learning program that a lot of people seem to like and appreciate. For family and friends of ours that work here it seems like a great school with great employment opportunities as well as learning opportunities for students. A consultation and a tour would be a great thing if you are interested in something like a Montessori.

This is an amazing school and learning environment. My granddaughter has been enjoying learning…read moreand growing so much and I am totally in awe of how wonderful the experience has been for her and her 'classmates' as she calls them. I am the oldest girl of 7 and learned much from helping my mother with my brothers and sisters. I have three children of my own and love kids. I know a great learning environment when I see one and this place is a gem! So happy we found it and that our little princess gets to experience this as her first 'school' experience. She will treasure her time at Happy Valley forever.

This school is horrible for any family that is untraditional or child may have behavior issues…read more The staff and owner are so unprofessional and disrespectful. The teachers have 80 children come in and out of their school on a weekly basis. I was asked to not speak during parent teacher conference bc there was not enough time to get thru everthing. The teachers have no real time to dedicate or give extra attention to children and families that need it. Don't send your child here just for the animals. They don't really get to interact that much with them....this preschool was a huge mistake.

Our older kiddo has been attending Bixby since preschool and he is now in 2nd grade. It was a very…read moredifficult choice for us to choose a private school over our local public school as the local school is very much a neighborhood school. However, we were seeking a hand-on education where our kid would develop a love of learning and prioritize asking questions rather than memorizing answers for a test. We were also looking for an education where the whole child would be developed and there was an emphasis put on EQ as well as IQ. We can't sing Bixby's praises enough and can't wait until our 1 yr old is old enough to attend!

I fondly…read morerecall the excitement of seeing new chalkboard drawings and hearing captivating stories in the cozy classrooms. Now, my son attends Kindergarten there and formed an instant bond with his teacher (not something that came naturally for him in preschool). Mrs. Cherie exceeds expectations by attending to each child's unique needs. All teachers offer individual care through home visits, parent nights, and meetings. Beyond being a great school, the parent community is enriching, and we're forming lifelong friendships. Some worry Waldorf's academic approach might not prepare students well, but my brothers, also Waldorf graduates, are now a urologist and a researcher at the Max Planck Institute. I'm a life coach with my own business. Success stems from joy in learning, which Waldorf fosters. I urge you to schedule a tour or email me for more insights at wovenwords [at] gmail [dot] com.

My daughter has blossomed into a confident, playful, curious, and adventurous 5-year-old in the loving care of her teachers. The beautiful campus, nestled in the foothills, offers ample opportunity for free play in nature and daily walks to visit the school chickens, gardens, and a nearby lake. Inside the classrooms, natural materials of wood and silk create a beautiful and comforting space to learn and play. Kindergarten classes provide nourishing, organic food to the children daily. Overall, the school has a rich tradition of meaningful festivals that build a thriving school community. We couldn't be happier at Shining Mountain and look forward to continuing through middle school and high school.

My two daughter have been going to West Woods KinderCare for the last 8 months. I have been very…read morehappy with the care and attention they have received. They have both grown leaps and bounds academically and socially. My kids have been in 5 previous daycare centers ( we have moved a bit) and West Woods KinderCare has been mine and my children's favorite. The center is managed very well and there has been very little turn over since we have been. This is a big indicator of the success of a center. There is nothing harder than leaving your kid with a new teacher after they have grown attached to the previous teacher. I have recommended West Woods KinderCare to many people and will continue to do so. Thank you for taking such great care of my daughters. They are happy to go to school each day and sad to be picked up and leave school.

We can easily reach them by email, phone, or text whenever we have questions or concerns. More often than not, we receive a response the same day, and if not, by the next day.

The dedication, care, and commitment shown by the staff make a real difference. We highly recommend this school to any family looking for a supportive and caring learning environment.
