I am sharing our family's experience so other parents can make an informed decision about whether…read morethis school is the right fit for their child. My six-year-old had some challenging days involving frustration, transitions, sharing, and asking for help. We did not ignore these concerns. We communicated with the school, worked with him at home, arranged outside support, and began pursuing a professional evaluation to better understand his needs. Although the school documented that he benefited from calm redirection and individual guidance, his enrollment was ended before the evaluation was completed. We were not given a gradual improvement plan or enough time to see whether additional structure and support would help him succeed. Afterward, a classroom-wide message was posted discussing challenging behaviors among several students. Because of the timing and surrounding circumstances, our family was left feeling as though our child had been singled out, even though he was not named. I understand that schools must protect classroom safety and that teachers cannot provide constant one-on-one attention. However, young children will have both good and difficult days. In my opinion, education should include helping children learn from those difficult moments--not only expecting them to arrive already knowing how to manage every emotion, transition, and social situation. Based on our experience, this may not be the best setting for a child who needs additional patience, structure, redirection, or time to grow socially and emotionally. I encourage parents of children who may need extra support to ask detailed questions about the school's behavior policies, improvement plans, communication procedures, and how much support is offered before a child's enrollment is ended. I am not sharing this out of anger. I simply believe other parents deserve to understand our experience when deciding whether this environment will meet their child's individual needs.

It definitely helped that my best friend went there with me, and I learned a lot from Indian Harbor. I was part of their swim team for about three years, and through that I learned discipline and made lifetime friendships. I loved everything about it. From the Mako Markets that were held every Friday, to the constant field trips to The King Center; I just loved it. The teachers there were top notch. The ones that made the biggest impression on me were Mrs. Jedlicka, Mrs. Silverthorn, Mrs. Wright, Coach Noggle, and Mrs. Griffin. There were many others as well, but those are the few that stand out most furtively in my memories. I moved away from the school in third grade, not by my choice. My family and I moved out to Las Vegas about six years ago, and my education continued in the Montessori Method. It was this year that opened my eyes to the greatness of this method. I moved to my first public school this year, and it was mediocre compared to the two great Montessori's I've attended. I will be forever thankful for the love of learning that I inherited from them. I am, and forever will be a Mako!
