When my child was enrolled at Inquisitive Minds (the same owners of Thriving Roots - check the…read morepictures), under the supervision of Kosheila Slade and Kristel Walker, the children were taken to the Aquarium near Sandy Utah *WITHOUT* informing the parents where their children were. When I went in to talk to Mrs. Kosheila (the director) and the administration at Inquisitive Minds (the same owners of Thriving Roots) about this massive safety concern, Mrs. Kosheila cut me off multiple times and then stormed out of the room in an emotional outburst. All I did was ask her questions regarding the safety of children as well as what her credentials were, and it was clear that she was unable to have a professional conversation with a concerned parent. She was dry heaving and screaming so loudly in the halls after I asked her "what gives you permission to subject children to safety issues such as this" that I would be surprised if everyone in the building didn't hear her. She tried to come back into the conversation she passed to another teacher, but again cut me off and started crying and she left the conversation to that other teacher to handle me, the concerned parent. I recorded the whole conversation. I didn't tell them I recorded it at first though. I reached out to multiple parents who had children that our child was friends with, who shared very similar safety concerns about Inquisitive Minds (the owners of Thriving Roots). One of our child's friends was allowed to carry a GLASS mason jar (you aren't even allowed to do this in a high school. You put glass on carts to move them due to safety procedures.) The five year old child dropped the jar, and fell on the glass, and needed 17 stitches and potentially has tendon damage in their hand. (The guardian of the child sent me pictures of the wound). This same parent/guardian called into Inquisitive Minds and talked to Mrs. Kosheila. They also recorded their call. She did the same emotional outburst and let another teacher handle the concerned parent/guardian. I find it VERY ironic, that the second I mentioned taking this legal, that they SOLD their eagle mountain location, and rebranded their American fork location.... All within two weeks of me addressing these safety concerns and telling them in an email that I have two separate recordings of the same emotional outbursts of their director, Mrs. Kosheila Slade. I pulled my child out of the school the following day. And they took their time to have the owners send me an email to address things. But if I'm being completely honest, they didn't address the safety concerns at the school..... it appears to me that they just closed shop and RAN. To me, this looks like an attempt to "cover their sins" and not take responsibility for their neglect in telling parents where their children are at when taking them off school premises, and for their completely unprofessional way of handling parents' concerns when there are true safety issues that are worrying to parents! This school is not worth the money it costs. They also claim to be good teachers, but Mrs. Kosheila (their director) isn't even a licensed educator in Utah (I had the state look her up). What this means, is that she cannot be held accountable by the state of Utah for her actions. I would assume that Thriving Roots teachers and directors also are not licensed educators in the state of Utah. And while this isn't illegal, it simply means they cannot be held accountable when things go wrong. Parents ought to understand that this is a safety concern, in and of itself. Find a better school to put your children in. This management appears to not understand accountability or emotional regulation. And if the administration, directors, and teachers do not understand accountability or emotional regulation at a Montessori school.... What are we paying them for? I cannot trust people like this to properly educate my child on proper accountability or their own emotional regulation when the admins have a hard time doing it themselves.

My bonus baby's time at La petite in Lehi started out well and progressively went down hill since…read morethe begining of this year. I am writing this with dads agreement. There was a change in management earlier this year and since then the issues started. Incident reports went for weekly to daily occurrences. Communication from the teachers (and I use the term loosely) was not happening. Daily questions from dad and mom of how our sons day were, was answered of it was good, he had a good day nothing happened but here's an incident report. About a month to a month and a half before we dis-enrolled him a teacher stated that every child was placed on a behavior plan and it was started a few days prior to communicating it to the parents. Later that week another teacher said it was just our son due to his behaviors after giving me another incident report. I asked why it was not communicate to us prior and what was going on. I then received the run around and no real answers except to speak to the front desk person. There wasn't a front desk person when I went in but I did run into her on the way out in a hallway not at the desk. Same questions and again no answers. I did let dad know and we began watching the cameras more closely. There is also another problem that escalated into restraining and secluding our son with out supervision. The teacher stated that they would strap him into a high chair so he didn't eat off of other kids plates or the floor. After watching the cameras we saw where he was strapped into the high chair pushed up against the wall under the coat cubbies and not checked in for over 10 mins at a time. He would throw a fit and try to get out and almost pull the chair over but no one would check on him. This was the teachers way of time out. Again nothing was communicated to his parents, dad or mom about him being in time out. This is restraining and secluding a child and child endangerment. We did attempt to speak to management which they said they weren't aware of any of this going on. They took the high chair out of the room after our meeting and stated that the teacher was also bringing moved to a different classroom because she couldn't handle it in the toddler classroom. This was in place before we even spoke to management. Management also stated they would schedule time for us to discuss what was happening with the teachers. After a week nothing was scheduled so dad and I addressed concerns with the teacher that was moved when we picked him up. The teacher said he was hitting kids and that's why she started the behavior chart. She would chart that he had incidents 20 times or more a day but couldn't tell why it was happening. She said she tried time out and hugs. Again questions of why nothing is communicated to the parents, why other things like redirection was not tried and if those punishments weren't working prior to the behavior chart then why continue them were asked but weren't answered except with I'm not a behavioral therapist. He did also receive an incident report that day as well. Management did talk to us again that day and admitted that they did know what all was going on and when questioned why they didn't tell us when we spoke the last time about it she shut down and stopped communicating with us as well. The next day they called dad and stated I was not allowed to come back as the staff felt threatened and parents were concerned. I never threatened anyone, never cussed at anyone or wasnt disrespectful. Yes we were frustrated and upset by the neglectful treatment of our son which is completely understandable. I asked questions about what was going on and didnt allow the teacher and management to run around the issues Like they would do with dad and mom. We did watch closely after that while he was still attending until we could find another daycare. But the last straw where we dis-enrolled him without another place to go was the day dad got a message asking if he knew about the scratch on his thigh that they saw at 8am but notified dad at 1pm. He said no he knew nothing. His day went on as usual. Picked him up signed the incident report and went home. At bath time we saw the scratch. It was more than a scratch. It was in fact a bite mark that was so hard it bruised his thigh and broke skin in 4 places through his pants. This happened with in an hour of him being there with one other child in the room and a teacher. The teacher wasn't watching the 2 kids long enough for it to happen but could tell us the 20 times he hit another kid? We received a total of 11 copies out of what feels like a hundred incident reports as well. We've requested copies of all of them multiple times. Answered with yes we will get them to you but only 11 were provided. We do plan to report the faculty as well. If they are doing this to one child i would imagine it will happen to others. If your child is in La Petite in Lehi I'd use them with severe caution and advise to look else where for childcare.
