Truly horrific. I do not recommend this school in any way, especially if your child is neurodivergent or anxious.

Feel free to pm me if you would like more information.

It's a difficult thing to do, to review a school in which your family and friends are so invested…read more Ordinarily, when writing a 5-star review, I would simply tell you all the reasons for my 5 stars, followed by healthy encouragement to go there. However, with a school, and with its community, it's so much more intertwined with a greater sense of purpose. For this reason, I will be as intentional as possible about organizing my thoughts here. Let me begin with the heart of the school. "Miss Danielle," as the students have decided to call her, is NOT your everyday human. She is calm, steady, and thoughtful in her day to day routine, but exceeds all teacher expectations in her REMAINING calm, steady, and thoughtful when situations arise ranging from student conflict to global pandemic (and everything in between). She has that rare ability to connect with each individual student, and she meets them exactly where they are with genuine curiosity instead of expectations and demands. She is honest and forthcoming. There has never been a time when she was unable to address concerns, or meet to chat. It is abundantly clear that Danielle is 100% invested in MCM and in the kids themselves. The MCM schoolhouse itself is as precious a place as one could imagine. The children move through their work periods mostly indoors, but plenty of attention is paid to their entire surroundings, including the beautiful vegetable garden, play structure, and the rest of their outdoor spaces. The serene setting invites creativity and imagination, all of which is nourished by periods of free-play, and by more structured events like the Halloween Party, Spring Tea, and Family Campout. The yard also served as the backdrop for additional enrichments from parents and friends including art lessons, a study in mycology, a Valentine STEM project, needle felting, and more. So why would I hesitate to say "you should go here" when giving 5 stars? Montessori education is more than just a school of thought. Committing to a school like MCM means living, at least as best as is realistic, in a "Montessori way." (What does that even mean?!) Well, I feel as though any school should be an extension of your family's values, and learning about Montessori education and the science behind Maria Montessori's methods should be prioritized before considering a Montessori school. MCM is neither a place of pop culture and media saturation, nor is it a place of traditional academic rigor. It is a place where children learn to create their own "fun," and they build self-confidence in doing so. The children's academic success comes not from textbooks, but from curiosity born out of their free access to information. Every child and family is different, so I recommend taking that into consideration before choosing any school, but especially this one. This has been one crazy, unexpected year. I initially found MCM out of necessity when we realized online learning would not work for our family (thanks HughesNet!). I had met Danielle briefly once or twice before, but her reputation for excellence preceded these meetings. She has taken such a humble, gentle approach to opening a school amid wildfires, political strife, and COVID-19. It was abundantly clear after only a couple weeks that we had made an incredibly fruitful decision to enroll our daughter. This year I have watched all the children unfold into the best versions of themselves. They are artistic, musical, inquisitive and analytical. They are more self-assured, and they have learned to respect one another and value their individuality. I could not be more grateful to Danielle and to MCM for being our rock during this turbulent year. Do I recommend you enroll immediately? If this review resonates with you, then yes, I absolutely do. If I've left you with even more questions, well, I know someone who can provide you with all the answers! (Danielle) I do highly recommend making an appointment to visit either way because I think it will give you all the perspective you will need to make the best decision for your family.

First, the good news: Mr. Chohaan is the best teacher my son…read morehas ever had. He deserves 5+ stars. Not only did he get to know my son, he cared about his well being and academic success. He went above and beyond to make classes engaging, fun and exciting for his students and fun had field trips throughout the year too. My son *loves* him, and all of his students do too. And the bad: I recently had surgery to remove a disc that was fused to my spinal cord. The surgery also removed the remainder of the entire disc from between my vertebrae (L4-L5) at UC Davis by Dr. Kee Kim at the Spine Center in Sacramento on 8/25/2018. Recently it became re-injured, thus making it very difficult for me to move again. The entire office staff knows this, including the Vice Principal Mr. Cooley. My appointment at UC Davis is not until early April, so until then I have to somehow deal. Physical therapy is starting soon. I am also a full-custody single-mother with no child support, in my final year at Chico State University and currently working with a Yuba College professor to open a non-profit organization to benefit local Foster Youth who are aging out and facing homelessness. I am very busy and absolutely exhausted due to chronic pain and tons of responsibility. Though I love what I am doing, it is a lot! My son is often late to school due to my disability. I wake up multiple times a night and the pain is the worst in the mornings and night. So getting up in the morning is quite a process that is never the same. Every day is a different kind of nightmare. Today I brought my son to school late again. =( He is also sick, and school policy decides when my sick son is too sick to attend so I bundled him up and was ready to send him to school. We pulled up to the school gate and I had him get out. Mind you, it is pouring rain, and he's standing by the gate buzzing the office to let him in and they will not. They want me to come in and sign him in. It takes all my energy and pain tolerance just to get up and to my vehicle so I asked kindly if they could bring the form to me. The office staff's answer? A solid NO because they are "short staffed". (Which is BS and I'll explain below.) The vice principal's response? He has his staff's side and spoke to me like I was one of his child students. Their website shows 15 faces of people who are not teachers who could have helped me out, and only 215 students in the entire school (kindergarten all the way through high school!) Even if some staff were absent, there are plenty of people who could have taken the 60 seconds it would've taken to walk a disabled single mother a form. They simply did not want to. And I think that's pretty heartless. http://yubacitycharter.org/yccs-staff/ The average # of students in a regular public school in California is 386 for primary school, 524 for middle school, 629 for high school and 264 for "other". https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2001/overview/table05.asp They were not in a meeting, a staff conference or anything else of that nature. The staff told the vice principal that I wanted a pregnant woman to bring me the form, and the vice principal (Mr. Cooley) said to me, "You wanted my pregnant staff to bring you the sign-in!" I never asked for specifically someone who is pregnant to bring me the form. I just needed one of the 15+/- available humans on campus to take 60 seconds out of their day to help me. I will not be killing myself to get my son to that school any more. This is not the first time this has happened either, and an email to the vice principal the first time it happened was met with crickets. (He did not reply at all, yet told me today that he did receive the email though.) I'll take my son somewhere that cares for kids and their support system; i.e. the "whole child," as the state requires education professionals to do via common core standards. (I'm a teacher too, pausing work to recover from my spine.) The whole child includes the family, and the fact that their student (my son) has a disabled mom makes his life more challenging which is something that schools are supposed to support and help with. Not only have they refused to help me with something so simple, the VP there is failing to lead as well. Who wins here? Nobody. And who loses? My son. In short, they are failing the best practices of the whole child/common core ideology and thus, are failing their job. http://www.ascd.org/ASCD/pdf/siteASCD/policy/CCSS-and-Whole-Child-one-pager.pdf The images shown are screen shots of a video I took of my son trying to get into his school (yuba city charter school), and the staff refusing to unlock the gate. I am pointing with my S Pen to my son standing at the gate, waiting, to no avail. The other picture shows him running back through the rain to my truck, to tell me that they said they won't let him in unless I come in and sign. This is when I called to ask if they can bring it out.

With such personal and sensitive topics at hand (a potential learning disability and all the various ways it impacts her life), Karen's ability to advise without judgment was so admirable and exactly what we needed. My daughter made great progress in her 6 days in the math program that Karen offers, and we are so thrilled with the results. Our eyes were opened to so many things we would have never known, or even considered. She has impacted my daughter's life in the best way.
