    Extremely disappointing experience. We registered and paid for our son a week before camp. At no…read morepoint during registration did anyone notice that he supposedly did not meet the age requirement. We dropped him off on the first day, left the campus, and then received a call telling us we needed to come back immediately to pick him up because he wasn't old enough. If a child is ineligible, the registration should be rejected immediately--not after payment has been accepted, parents have arranged their schedules, and the child has already been dropped off. Having to return and remove your child from camp after they've already started the day is completely avoidable and reflects a very disorganized enrollment process. The age requirement is technically listed on the website, but it's buried in a bullet point and is easy to overlook. More importantly, the registration system should verify a child's age before accepting enrollment and payment. We were left scrambling to find last-minute childcare, and our son was understandably confused and upset after being turned away. Thankfully, another camp was able to enroll him on short notice. This experience left us with the impression that Courtyard School's administrative processes are poorly managed. I hope they improve their registration and enrollment procedures so that no other family has to go through the same experience.

    We are a Chinese family, and Mandarin is primarily spoken at home. Consequently, my son is…read morebilingual in both Chinese and English. He's currently completed one year in a Kindergarten class at an elementary school, which operates in a 100% English-speaking environment, and he's thriving. My wife recently moved to Sacramento from the Bay Area for her job, so we're now looking for a new private school for our son. The Courtyard School is one of the options we're considering. When I initially called the school, a very kind and helpful 7th or 8th-grade teacher (whose name I can't recall) answered my questions. Ms. Fatima Lewis was equally gracious in our subsequent email exchanges. We were upfront in our communication, stating in an email that 'English is not his strongest area yet.' However, we then received a rather abrupt final notice from the school's principal, the esteemed Ms. Melissa Krause. The entire reply read: "Hello, I hope you are well. Thank you for your interest in Courtyard School. We do not have an ESL program so I don't think we would be the best fit for your daughter if she does not have a foundation in English. Thanks" I was quite frankly furious after reading this email, for two main reasons. Firstly, she naively assumed my son's English proficiency was poor. Secondly, throughout our entire email correspondence, we consistently referred to our 'son,' yet she inexplicably mentioned 'your daughter.' My wife, possessing a much calmer temperament than I, still managed to respond politely, even attaching the recent English assessment results from our son's current elementary school. Despite this, we received no further reply. Given these interactions, I am compelled to question the qualifications of the school principal, particularly regarding her reasoning and evident lack of attention to detail. Fortunately, this was the only school we contacted that didn't invite us for an on-site visit.

From the moment we first stepped on campus which is now 5 years ago, it just felt different -- warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The teachers are incredible -- caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. The curriculum strikes such a great balance between strong academics and creative, hands-on learning. My daughter has grown so much in both confidence and curiosity since starting here and even visits her favorite teacher Ms. Castro. The sports programs are another huge highlight! There's such a great community spirit, and it's clear that the staff..shout out to Mr. Kennedy...values teamwork, leadership, and fun just as much as skill. What I love most is how inviting the environment is. You can feel the pride and positivity in everything from the classrooms to the playground. It's a place where kids are genuinely excited to go to school every day. I love every year they have been introducing new electives from sewing to DnD to even a T Swift club that is engaging for everyone. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics, great extracurriculars, and a warm community -- Maryhill Midtown is a gem. We couldn't be happier.

    A World-Class Learning Community -- and an Distinguished School…read more Both of my daughters have been a part of Merryhill since before they turned one, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the school has provided a warm, family-like environment where students, parents, and teachers genuinely connect and collaborate. Merryhill's academics are comparable to top performing schools -- accelerated, challenging, and thoughtfully designed to help every student reach their fullest potential. As an Apple Distinguished School, technology and innovation are seamlessly integrated into the classroom, empowering students to think critically, create, and lead with confidence. Beyond academics, the variety of extracurriculars is extraordinary -- from Taylor Swift Club, Sewing, and Pokémon Club to sports and creative arts -- there's something for every child to discover and enjoy. Oh yes and Kids Kitchen ‍ The leadership of Mrs. Kennedy and Mr. Wallis has been remarkable. Their vision, compassion, and commitment to academic excellence create an atmosphere where teachers truly partner with families to nurture both the mind and heart of every student. From daycare at Merryhill Karista through elementary and middle school here at Merryhill Midtown has been a place of growth, belonging, and inspiration. We only wish there were a high school level to continue this incredible journey. Thank you Mustangs Parm Dhillon

They enjoy a huge yard, and a big classroom. Kids don't sit down to trace letters and numbers (although they do learn those too), they learn to be in other kids's company, follow instructions, sit in circle time, play with others and participate in the classroom. Essential stuff at 3, 4 years old.

I love that my daughter is cared for by all of the grown-ups who volunteer in the classroom, and that she has a relationship with each of them. I love that parent education classes are a part of the JMPNS tradition because it makes me feel like we're all figuring out parenting together rather than feeling competitive or isolated. I love that this school is a community project: The school really does reflect the values - of accessibility, equity, cooperation - that are important to the folks who choose to come here, and we're also always experimenting with how to do better. My family is in our second year, and we'll be here for another 2 with our second child!

    I call Brookfield a unicorn school. We are parents of three children and I wish we had found out…read moreabout Brookfield for our older son who needed a more challenging educational atmosphere. He is now thriving in high school, but I do wish that we had the experience we are having now with him when he was in elementary and middle school. My middle son is a transfer student to Brookfield and my youngest is starting out at the Preschool. About our experience: First, touring the school my husband and I were so impressed by the diversity, the ideology of the school, the atmosphere and the attentive nature of staff and teachers. Second, the fact that they have a preschool/elementary/middle school in one space is dream for us and the way that each grade level has their own space is also incredible. Finally, we were beyond thrilled that our children are not only learning the standard subjects, but they are also have Spanish, Music, P.E and computers almost everyday. This is above and beyond the majority of schools we have toured and researched. Why I highly recommend Brookfield to families: + Education + Testing prior to acceptance to ensure your child/family will be a good fit for the school and assurance that they will thrive at the appropriate grade level +Diversity + Child care before and after school included in tuition + Spanish, Music, Technology and Physical Education classes almost daily +Teachers and staff have a true interest in your child's best interest + Option to have extracurricular activities before and after school + Caters to children who are in preschool-8th grade + Great playground and outdoor seating + Vibrant student culture + Safe and secure + Excellent communication and online access for parents to teachers and administration The list goes on and on...I am thankful to Dr. Jo and all of the staff for creating such an amazing space. Our children are so happy when they get home and look forward to going back to school each day.

    Let's start with the good--small classes, some strong teachers, and a good community where my kiddo…read moremade friends. But we have to be honest with the downsides. Since ISP took over and Dr. Jo left, the school has changed. My sense is they will take any child who can pay. There is also less accountability when there are behavioral issues and the school does not feel like a safe place to send a child any longer. Kids are getting hurt, and there is inappropriate conduct. The teacher professionalism and turnover is an issue especially given the price of the school. They've hired some folks who don't have experience or a credential. And folks have left mid-year which is really hard on the kids. The school bills itself as accelerated--sometimes this ended up as a positive, but other times it felt too fast and mastery was lost in the process. I also think parents should know that some of these reviews were incentivized by the administration. I think the real picture is more of a mixed one.

One of my daughters was initially nervous about starting school after being home full-time for a year, but it was clear after her first day that she had an amazing time doing activities, playing on the school's playground, and meeting new friends. Both my daughters are excited to go to preschool every day, which gives me so much peace of mind. The school is bring-your-own lunch but they provide 2 healthy snacks made onsite from scratch each day. I regularly receive picture and video updates of them doing fun activities - painting Easter eggs, dancing to live guitar music, etc. They also recently had their first field trip to the nearby fire station. Parents are encouraged to be involved in the school and contribute a few hours each month, which is flexible and could be cleaning, making Play-Doh, or putting together an activity for the class. At the girls' previous school, parents weren't even allowed past the door at drop-off, so the welcoming environment and transparency has been a nice change for us. Overall, we love Little Redwoods for our family and are so happy with the care and enrichment they receive there.
