Mary Marks is an amazing driving instructor. I completed all 56 hours with her. I just received my…read morelicense at the DMV, and I passed on the first try. She's really good at helping students get over their fears of driving. She teaches valuable skills for driving on the road for the actual drive test, and in real life. She is good at pointing out what to look for, and will often pre-explain how to do something before attempting the maneuver. She also allowed me to use her car for the drive test for the same price of a regular lesson. Before the drive test, she will do a pre-drive session for 1 hour before heading over to the DMV. Mary is a great professional. I could rely on her to be consistent in her training, and I consider myself lucky to have found her.

Then that same day my niece tells me they ate just plain tortillas for lunch. Nothing else just tortillas. I know my sister pays a lot for my niece to go here. Im tell my sister to take her out immediately this place is a joke and child neglect law suit waiting to happen. They don't hire qualified people at all. SAVE YOUR CHILDREN DONT TAKE THEM HERE!!

I cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful, caring people at this daycare. The owner is…read moredeeply committed to running a top-notch establishment, and I have tremendous respect for her dedication. My 2 1/2-year-old has been to two other daycares before we found this one. One was fantastic, but we had to leave when we moved; the other, unfortunately, was a nightmare (the one near Bella Bru). Our child was constantly sick there, and I was repeatedly called out of work for the most trivial reasons. It was incredibly disruptive. I happened to be there when the incident mentioned by another reviewer occurred, and I can assure you, they're not telling the whole story. It's not surprising that a child would stay by the fence when they see their parent, but it's frustrating when some parents contribute to problems, only to turn around and claim innocence while pointing fingers and stirring up trouble. We've been with this daycare for over a year now, and we've been extremely pleased. The teachers are all fantastic, and we have complete confidence in leaving our child in their care.

We enrolled her…read morefor half days because her public Kindergarten was over at 11am and I needed her to have a full day of school when I returned to work full time. (Also I didn't feel like half day K was enough for her inquisitive mind.) The school was flexible about our unusual attendance arrangement, though understandably, it didn't cost much less for a half day slot vs. full day. They always made her feel welcome when she came in mid-day. She really loved it there, despite being a kid who chafes at rules at home - she really thrived in that environment. Teacher Angela was fantastic and they quickly gave my child appropriate work for her level since she started already knowing how to read and being able to do basic addition and subtraction. Their written evals were detailed and helpful, and I felt like they really got to know my child in a short time. Their summer program was fantastic and their extended care option was flexible for the times we needed a little extra care. They also had a fantastic "Parents Night Out" where they also welcomed siblings, and we took advantage of that a few times. This is a true Montessori, where kids are expected to learn how to be self-directed. We came from less-rigid Montessori schools, so getting used to the strict dress code was hard for us as parents, but my daughter was fine with it. Our daughter entered a rigorous Mandarin immersion program the next year in 1st grade, and Madrone prepared her VERY well for it. I'd highly recommend it if you are open to a more academic environment for your pre-K/kindergartner and want to encourage independence.

Busy Bees went through an ownership change in early 2022…read more Safety My kids came home scratched up and bruised multiple times, and I never got a report of the incident. When I asked what happened to my daughter to the main teacher, the teacher had no idea and the teacher said to follow up but never got a response back. COVID-19 response The staff never wore masks and never required kids to wear masks but one Monday all staff were masked up, it was eerie. Later that day, the school notified me that my kids were exposed to COVID-19 with no details of exposure, and the school was closed for a week. The tuition was reimbursed. Discipline Policy There was a child who is disruptive and harmful to other students, the school had no procedure to correct the kid's behavior. The kid was aware of no consequences for his behavior and bullied kids who were playing alone or kids who doesn't retaliate. Teachers appeared not responsive until kids scream, cry, or tell teachers for help. Basic manners such as taking turns, sharing with others, and being kind to others were not important to teachers and were not disciplined. If these are not taught in a school, why should I even bother sending my kid here? My kid got chased, sand over her hair, and her sand castle was destroyed by one kid. The staff never tried to stop the bullying behavior, they didn't even know it was happening. Teacher-to-Student ratio The school advertises a 1:6 ratio. One teacher and two assistant teachers for 18 kids. However, that's only in the classroom. When kids are outside at the playground, the teacher stays inside the classroom and only assistant teachers are monitoring the kids.

I was skeptical at first worry that the curriculum is similar to the preschool class they are in. It is NOT the same. Ms Seema first year teaching the STEM class.

Their favorite is the binary code, electricity, technology & circuits.... Their dad was working on something over the wknd and the girls said to dad, "that is a circuit board".

They teach students music, poetry slam, public speaking, and many more. Not only do they teach STEM and Spanish classes, they also do fun activities like Family school dances where my whole family went and danced together with the other family, teachers and staff. I absolutely love the community aspect of this school. Let's talk about security. This school enforces strict rules regarding pick up and drop offs. A key pad must be entered in order to get in. Don't you want your loved ones to be safe and secure all day? Some bonus points are: Folsom Prep offers fun activities for after school programs, such as cooking and ninja classes. My daughter absolutely loves summer camp here as well. Kona ice has frequently stopped by over the last couple of years during summer camp. Currently my daughter is taking the ninja class on Fridays. You will not be disappointed if you enroll your loved ones here! Message me if you have additional questions :)
