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.
