Waterford was great for us in one way. My daughter became mysteriously ill pretty much for an…read moreamount of time in junior/senior year. It affected her cognitive abilities and she was forced to miss a good amount of school as well as special events of senior year. The kind, discreet response of the teachers and administrative staff blew us all away. They were fiercely protective of her. My daughter is pretty private but the students and their parents who knew were equally as amazing! Character was high with the kids (they didn't gossip much like you might find at another school, held her confidences and, as a result, feel like the school will forever be in my heart. The only issue that holds me back is that I feel it can be very rules heavy, a bit punitive (kids were expelled and punished for little). It lacks a vibrant social scene, can be a bit provincial in its academic and enriching offerings and can tend to mute students from sharing thoughts and expressing themselves. The last thing is that students don't really head committees or initiatives in junior or senior year... they really should and parents should be nowhere to be found. High school is the time to try new things and fail. Prom committee, the school store, a real school newspaper...They really aren't encouraged to as the parent body leads all. This proved tougher when my daughter went off to high school. Other than that, great school with great classes and teachers, special kids and- for the most part- a wonderful, warm parent body. Thank you Waterford!

Patty the owner was so responsive whether it was email or text with and hour or two and any request or question. From the professionalism of the staff, to the genuine desire for the children to learn, not to mention their dedication during the pandemic to ensure the children's safety. My daughter now speaks English at age 4 (Spanish was her first language), has advanced in her age with a lot of social skills and and other academic abilities at a very young age. The variety in programs for them is outstanding. They learn two languages at the same time, and are being taught different subject matters that are important. I had my daughter 6 months and I'm very grateful we did. We paid the full day 5 days a week program.

Horrible Staff and teachers are inexperienced and overly harsh on students. It used to be better but most of the good teachers have left. They teach by fear. There are no resources available at the school. You will be paying for outside support and sports if interested. The staff is horrible and treat the students like military soldiers. The kids are not allowed to be children! You will have to pay for everything and don't get a decent education. The recesses are too short and and the kids don't even get one on Wednesday this year. Your child will have to memorize endless prayers in every class (PE, music and art). Homework is over the top here with at least 1.5 hours. My kids were miserable here! So happy we left! A lot of good families have left over the last few years as the school tolerates horrible children to stay (they may go to the office but never removed from the school, tuition is too important to the school). Also Skaggs school is hiding abuse cases, tolerating unacceptable behavior from teachers, the catholic school system in Utah is in trouble and it's apparent. Don't waste your money there are better places (public, private charter options) where your children will be much happier!

Sheila, the owner, is super friendly and personable. She is not only an instructor herself and jumps in the pool herself when needed, but she also makes sure that your children are in the correct swim level before they start their lessons. Sheila is not only personable, but she replies to your email within a day, and communicates effectively and consistently. She sends out the weekly schedule the weekend before so you know the swim schedule and with which instructor. We have had Abi (a swim instructor) for years and she's super good with our younger ones. She is encouraging and my children really enjoy being taught by her. We have had Nicole and AnneMarie as instructors (for level 4/5) and they are also efficient!

I had no idea how classes work and instead of explaining it nicely for a newbie she was very rude in her explanation, however the price is great so I ignored it. My son attended classes for 3 weeks and the swim instructors are so great and so cute with the kids! We loved every teacher we had. Which is what kept me going back for more lessons. I liked to sit close and listen to the instructors so I can continue to work with him on our own time. I was very pregnant and hot (it gets hot in there if you aren't swimming) so I was standing by the door catching a breeze and staying close so I can listen to what they are teaching and Sheila tells me "go sit down and quit hovering" honestly that was the last straw. That was luckily his last lesion of the week and was the last lesson I will ever sign him up for at the swimmin hole. I hope Sheila reads this review and changes her attitude.

I'm truly astounded by the level of quality and passion. My daughter has grown up with signing time and other active learning curriculum and I was worried that her experience in preschool might not build effectively on it. There was no reason to worry. I was an utter wreck picking up my daughter on her last day of school (due to moving). She didn't seem sad, she's 4. I've grown to trust all the fantastic people here over the years and it was so tough to part ways. Thanks everyone. I can't express it properly. Special thank you to Karla and Sarah!
