The art and computer teachers are mean, yell at the kids. Some homeroom are also mean and put the kids down. The administration will back the teacher even when inappropriate things have been said to kids. They get state funding but won't comply with state education laws. It's 2025 not the 50s. Since leaving my child has flourished. I only wish we had done it sooner. Look elsewhere. The parents are cliche, nouveau riche, private school parents who judge and don't take the time to actually get to others. So much for being accepting Catholics.

Very disappointed with the preschool. The experience we had with the preschool was not…read morerepresentative of the Catholic ethics that STM stands for. Director Mary is not a friendly or caring person at all. She criticized my 2 year old son's art and he was compared with his other classmates, director and teachers not supporting my son through his potty training. Unfortunately, we won't be considering STM for our children going forward because of how things were abruptly switched up on us. Do not recommend this preschool.

Fathers show up in golf gear, loudly talking about their "side girl" for everyone to hear, while the Prozac wives act like cliquey mean girls. The dads without money trail the real rich guys like lapdogs, hoping to score an investment. It's honestly sad, because the teachers are good, but with parents like this it's no surprise many of the kids are rude and obnoxious. If you're looking for a school that's really just a networking event full of fake, entitled people -- and where you'd better have a million in the bank for the housewives to even acknowledge you -- this is the school for you. If you want a school grounded in Catholic values, skip it. Thank God my kids only have a year or two left, or I'd transfer them

I currently have 3 kids attending All Souls (Pre-k 3, Pre-k 4, and 1st grade) and we are so…read morethankful we found this amazing community. Our oldest initially started kinder at our assigned public elementary (CHVE) and after seeing the amazing job that All Souls was doing with our kids in ELC, we ended up making the decision to move her to All Souls mid way through the year in Kindergarten. It was the best decision we have made for our family. The education they are receiving as well as the dedication to the arts makes this school a truly special place. At the end of the day, I think the thing we are most happy with is the fact that our kids are going to spend the next few years surrounded by teachers, students and families that are loving and supportive.

If you somehow manage to get rid of her, this would be an amazing school. But right now, this is a virus infecting the rating of the school. The other parts of the school is amazing.

It does not have a leader, there is no leadership, so do not expect them to comply with what they offer you, the offers are invalidated and if your child has a 504 plan, this school will not apply it, it will not evaluate it and it will not follow up, they do not have staff for this. If it occurs to you to claim, they will treat you like crazy or it will be the fault of the Covid and the staff (directive) bounces me around like a ball. They shamelessly disrespect you as a father. The mental health of students is not the priority of this school. And, immigrants, be careful here is white privilege, discrimination and exclusion. The board, directors and a principal of this school handles the laws, the procedures of "discipline" in a corrupt and convenient way.

Children like ours are embraced for who they are while developing a strong Jewish identity. Academically, we've been extremely impressed. Our son has been challenged, supported by teachers who truly know him, and given opportunities to pursue his interests both inside and outside the classroom. He's participated in accelerated classes, competitive athletics, built close relationships with faculty and classmates, and grown tremendously as both a student and a person. One of the things we've valued most is that DJDS is large enough to offer meaningful opportunities--in academics, athletics, arts, leadership, and community service--while still being small enough that every child is genuinely known. When challenges arise, teachers and administrators work with families because they care deeply about each student's success. No school is perfect, but our experience over many years has been overwhelmingly positive. If you're considering DJDS, especially as an interfaith family, I'd encourage you to visit, ask questions, and experience the community for yourself.

It certainly feels like that: "At this time, we are declining Xxxxx's admission for the 2026-27 year.

This is a sweet kid who was scapegoated and mistreated in public school. Their response is to reject him? Bizarre and unfathomable.

During our time at Willows - Homestead Learning Center, we witnessed some of the worst examples of…read moreproper childcare in our 3 months of enrollment, as highlighted below: Safety concerns: - Teachers and Director do not properly handle targeted bullying nor even acknowledge major injuries when they occur. Our child was bitten several times, and the bite marks went unnoticed/unreported. - Our son has come home several times with injuries to his head with no explanation from the teachers as to what happened. An example of this is that he hit his head TWICE on the same day and I never received an incident report noting either injury. Lack of oversight over dietary restrictions/food allergies - We observe a vegetarian diet, and our son was served meat products TWICE. Both times were attributed to "miscommunications". Even bringing our own lunch and snacks didn't mitigate the issue. - If our son was served a product that he shouldn't have been TWICE within two months' time, I believe that other children have been served food items that they should not have. Lack of preparation/planning for the day/week: - On our first day, we entered the room to discover that his name was nowhere to be found. When we asked about getting his name displayed around the room to the [former] lead teacher, she stated that she "would do it when she had time". It was only after we brought up our concerns to the Regional Director, Chloe, and Director, DeAnne, that our son's name was included in the room. - Our first month (April), the weekly agenda/theme posted outside the room went unchanged for one month. How does the Director, who works in the same building, not have any idea what each classroom is doing on a weekly basis? Shows a lack of oversight. - The daily agenda posted in the classroom doesn't reflect what the children are doing. To this day, it hasn't been updated in over a month. In the 3 months he has been there, I do not believe that he has learned anything educational. Little to no communication on daily activities: - Willows uses "ProCare" for updates, and we received roughly the following updates: 70% = no daily updates 13% = bulk pictures of all kids 15% = specific photos of your child 2% = specific information for your child's activities - We once went for 3 weeks without any app updates. Lack of Concern and Connection from the Teachers: - If Ms. Bella wasn't in the Yellow classroom and another teacher was covering, our son would be so afraid of them that he wouldn't even express his basic needs to them (i.e. have an accident before he told them that he needed to use the potty). - The covering teachers would never notice his accidents and often he would be in wet clothes when we picked him up and would change him ourselves. - If the Yellow Room teachers were already gone for the day and the kids were playing outside, there was literally no one to ask about how your child's day went. With no app updates and no teachers to communicate with, parents quite literally have no idea what occurred during your child's day. We met with the RD and Director several times to address our concerns about the Yellow Room, but even to our last day, we cannot say that anything ever improved. Over our last few weeks, we saw glimmers of hope and improvement but cannot say that it wouldn't revert to the poorly organized, barely functioning room that it has been in since our arrival.
