Rather than give excuses and come up with a lie, I would appreciate if Little sunshine playhouse can acknowledge their mistake and work with that individual staff member to make sure that never happens again and use this incident as a reminder for all other staff members that no staff should be kissing any infants or children. I can guarantee you that NO PARENTS would be ok with this kind of behavior.

I would not recommend this school to anyone. Children are mistreated, and they then have long-term emotionally issues to deal with. Run away from this school. The principal is completely ineffectual and not capable of running a school. When we brought our issues to her she pretended she did not know what was going on in the classroom. The teacher continued working after several children were removed from her classroom. This is not a safe school for children.

We were very excited when our child got a spot at this school. Unfortunately, our first and only…read moreyear there wound up being very disappointing and frustrating. Our daughter was bullied relentlessly in her first classroom, and the teacher was so detached that he didn't even realize it was happening. I had been worried about her because she wasn't getting ANY works done and was having anxiety attacks on school nights that would often keep her up until past 11 PM, and when we finally figured out the cause, it was like pulling teeth to get the administrators to move her to a different classroom. Once she was moved, things improved for her generally, but I still have enough concerns to cause me to move her to a neighborhood school next year. A lot of the people who work at this school are wonderful, kind, hard working souls and I really don't want to make them feel undervalued. I've heard a few of the teachers are great, but I learned at the State of the School meeting that they have a high teacher turnover rate, as well as a high student turnover rate. The children also seem to face little to no consequences for bad behavior, and as a result I am actually embarrassed to be seen on field trips with them. My daughter went to a Title 1 school before this, and the children were much better behaved and respectful to adults and other children. On our last field trip at this school, I was actually shoved by a boy who was impatient to get off the bus! I did do research on the Montessori model and felt I understood what it entailed. My daughter scored very high on the CogAT and has natural curiosity, so I thought this would be a great place for her. At this point, however, I am concerned that she will actually be behind her peers when she starts the second grade. There was a Gifted and Talented group that met once a week, but they never completed any projects and half the time they wouldn't remember to come get her for the meetings (she was 6 the whole year, and could barely remember what day of the week it was). I thought Montessori students would be encouraged to be kind and caring, but I know of more than one other child that has actually left the school due to bullying. One of the Upper El students even told me that bullying is worse at this school because the kids are "free to get up and bug you whenever they want." I know that Montessori is supposed to be self directed, but I don't see any reason that the teachers should not be clued in to what is happening in the classroom and intervene when it is really necessary.

The employees of the church and school are tight knit and the education is top notch. Three recesses a day and a focus on the academic basics with an education of the Bible and Protestant Christianity.

That search for the "Big Thing" out there that's going to magically be the one thing that brings happiness and satisfaction is a hopeless search. This place supports those that have found that the only thing that will fill the hole in our souls is the Holy Trinity. Biblically based school and church that we love.
