We cannot say enough good things about Discover Place Preschool! It's our second year here, and my…read moreson literally runs to his teachers smiling. The teachers really do know how to make each child feel so special, and are so kind, that I never have any qualms about knowing how much he is cared for and how much he learns each time he attends class. Lori, the director, is also amazing! We are always greeted w/a friendly smile, and she is very prompt in her email responses if you were to have any questions. We feel so blessed to be a part of the Discovery Place Preschool community!

We loooove this school for so many reasons....let me count the ways…read more 1. It's Montessori based. This teaching method has been great for our kids. I watched my child, unbeknownst to her, playing with an activity, in Montessori they call it her "work". Once she was done, she put everything away in a basket and she placed it back on the shelf. Then reached out to grab a new item to work with. It's important to note, she's 2.5! This kind of independent play and self awareness has benefited her greatly. My other daughter, who is 4, was so immersed in her craft creation today that she didn't even notice me watching her for about 10 minutes. The activities are engaging for the kids and teach a ton of self reliance. They carry this same self-reliance with them when they come home each day. 2. The teachers are incredible and very experienced. This school boasts one of the lowest teacher to student ratios in the park city area. They are incredibly attentive to my kids and our girls get a lot of one on one attention. The school has a nearby program for older kids who will often visit to work and read to small groups of the children. I found my 2 year old reading with one of the 8 year old mentors the other day. So precious! 3. They teach horseback riding! Amazing! Once a week in the off skiing season, they learn to ride a horse (western style) with a dedicated riding instructor. I'm just jealous I can't join them! 4. They teach skiing! They do a 2:1 student to teacher ratio on Fridays when the slopes are open to teach the kids. The kids get fitted for their own set of boots and skis which they are able to use all winter. 5. They message and the vibe of this school is all about connections to yourself, to others, and to nature. The leader of the school sings a song about unity in the beginning of each class. I've stayed around to watch the song a couple times and have been blown away by the attention and respect the kids give her. 6. They play...a lot and go on some great field trips. This is great! We always wanted a play based school and we found it. 7. They are learning Spanish. Language is very important to us. One of the teachers is fluent in Spanish so they teach it to the kids. 8. It's small. You get to know all the kids and teachers and everyone is very welcoming. I recommend this school to anyone who wants to belong to a wonderful little community. 10. They hike! They have a specific teacher who takes the older kids 5 and up, on extensive hikes to explore nature and be outside. Be still my nature loving heart! So that's it in a nut shell. It's a small cozy school with a ton of heart and loving teachers. Having my kids join this school was one of the highlights of moving to Park City.

Found another horse school that is way better and picks up phone calls and keeps appts!

I sent my son a couple years back in 2017. We have high expectations for him, and wanted to bump…read morehim up from a B-B+ to an A in mathematics. Mathnasium did not help with that. All of the worksheets he was given were way too easy for him, and never actually got to his class level until half way through the school year. We found that it was literally a waste of one hour a day and $300 per month. We decided to give Mathnasium another chance by going after them on what my son was doing in class. However, if we are going to pay $300 a month(Which by the way is half of monthly college tuition), then we should not have to be after the instructors to make my son another chance. We had had enough, and after quitting, my son got his first A in mathematics, and actually seems to enjoy math now, which I find quite unusual. The program promises to make your children enjoy math, but my son was always agitated whenever we told him it was time to go to Mathnasium. All of the good reviews I am seeing are literally failing students going up from a F to a C+ or B average. So moral of the story is, if your child is so bad at math that he or she is literally failing it, then send them here. If not, then don't waste your money here.

I went to Manila from kindergarten to 6th grade and was never bullied, never was sad, and I never was alone. And that's coming from someone who wasn't ever popular. All the kids were great and when I was in 5th grade there was a student teacher who always made me super happy and made me look forward to school. I loved going to Manila and I really recommend sending your kids there. I miss you Manila Elementary!

We found out that the student was below grade level in reading only when he was tested in another school. As an educator myself, I find it very wrong, especially when one is paying a lot of money in tuition. Furthermore, in our experience, the first-grade teacher used ancient methodology and pedagogy. All in all, not a pleasant experience for the child and the parent of the child.
