There is much to appreciate about Key School. Its staff consists largely of lovely teachers who…read moreseem genuinely kind and caring. That said, during her one year at the school, my child's teacher could not keep his political beliefs out of the classroom. He is painfully misinformed and brings his misinformation into his history lessons. When I expressed upset, the school administration claimed to be politically neutral; however, the principal insinuated that my child was a liar while trying to cover up when the teacher brought out a model of a fetus to make sure he expressed his bias to me clearly. (After assuring me that the whole class, other than my child, saw no fetus, she later admitted it happened.) Key School supported that same teacher's emphatic declaration that America is not in any part a democracy while studying the Constitution. They supported him, teaching the children that only violent criminals were being deported while innocent immigrants are being disappeared into Venezuelan concentration camps. That is not just a biased opinion- he is teaching outright untruths. His beliefs are not academic and far from neutral. In fact, they align with Trump's cult beliefs rather than the true Republican party ethos. To sum it up, if you are affluent and looking for an overpriced, Fox News-based, fascist propaganda education with some racism and sexism thrown in now and again, as many Texans likely are, this is your place. Those looking for a real education and equanimity for all students should seek it elsewhere.

A student can be taking classes across a range of 5 grades depending on what THEY need. The environment is structured and safe, and the staff really does care about the students. Be advised that the cost approaches that of some universities, but in this case you truly do get what you pay for.

Key School serves students in grades K-12. Our Graduation Coach helps our high school students prepare for college and beyond.

If you are looking for a school based in nature, or a science-based program, or you're a hippie -…read morethis is the place for your kid. This is a unique experience for kids to attend a school where they take a walk through the forest, everyday (unless there is lightening), and have lessons about it. They meet forest critters, eat tree bark, learn about habitats, play with mud tables, and conduct experiments. I cannot speak more highly about the staff. Mini-pirate's teachers, Miss Cindy and Miss Tiffany are amazing, and Miss Shirly, the head admin is wonderful. Pricing options vary, depending on the schedule you choose. They also offer home-school options, after school programs, and summer camps. The fall festival is also something that should not be missed. Mini-pirate is a huge fan, and I loved watching him embrace taking care of the Earth and a love for nature.

A little unsure how to give the most accurate rating since it's a school not a professional salon…read more I came in with the understanding that they're still learning. The wait was longer than intended as they told me they were waiting on towels to dry. They hadn't been open that long yet so idk how they ran out but, okay. While the gentleman who did my hair was nice, he made me veryyy nervous. He kept talking about how they didn't teach him anything at his last school and would say oops when cutting... **To ALL hairstylist in school or not please don't ever say oops** Thats the last thing anyone wants to hear while they're in the chair. He also asked the teacher before making any move on my head (literally just a straight across cut and side swoop bang) which I appreciate so he didn't mess up but it as often as it happened it made me feel like he didnt know what he was doing at all. And when she would come and tell him what to do he'd have to ask me what she said because he forgot already...yeah Now the hair cut itself came out pretty decent for $8.50 only one strand ended up longer than the rest I noticed when I left, and it was only a bit choppy. But also check your receipt before paying as they had charged me almost double but fixed it when I said something. Also be prepared to be there for a while my very simple hair cut took about 2 hours total with a wash and cut..and price did include a dry but it would've been closer to 3 hours if I had waited, NOT TO MENTION my hair was practically dry by the time he finished as never sprayed it with a water bottle so half was cut wet and the other dry.

I called in the morning and the lady who answered the phone around 11 AM said all the beauticians were busy. I called back and she said that they were all still busy and there were 2 customers waiting? On a Tuesday morning? I just stayed home and popped my Stouffer's Cordon Blue Pasta in the oven and started watching Basketball Wives on my iPad. The dish was gonna take 85 minutes to bake so I wasn't gonna be able to make the morning hair clinic. I called again at 3 PM and found out they start taking clients at 5:30 PM. Mrs. Freddie is the evening teacher and she is a no nonsense person. I like that. She even recommended that I stop using Paul Mitchell's Shampoo One and switch to Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi. I bought some at Sally's Beauty Supply today. I have the utmost respect for her because she is a professional. She recommends and she speaks and carries herself in a professional, non ghetto manner. She is a breath of fresh air! She checks the students work as they progress.

The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, laid back but very engaged in teaching the kids.

I love that they encourage your child to be independent while also learning to listen well and follow instructions. My son has already improved noticeable in his gross and fine motor skills while attending here and he's only had a handful of classes! The parents and kids that attend this location are very friendly too which has made coming here even more enjoyable. The facility is clean and well organized as well. We will continue to come here!

But our child's teacher had a multi-page matrix for our child's cognitive, motor, and emotional (maybe more) development. My wife and I were floored. The teacher asked if we had any questions at the end of the conference. We were like, "we love you?" When we met with the director for our first tour, she explained how their goal was to raise nice, respectful citizens. For example, they teach recycling. When we visited the class rooms with the director, the kids knew her by name and were excited to see her. This did not happen at the other learning center we visited. We later discovered the director enthusiastically leads sing-alongs. Lil Goldman has relieved our stress from raising our first child. We could not have been happier with our choice.

Our middle child first came to Lil Goldman when he was 4 (one year before kindergarten). He left Lil Goldman set up for success in kindergarten and has thrived through first grade. The time they spent learning writing letters and recognizing sight words has definitely set him up for success in elementary school. Our youngest child has now been at Lil Goldman for 2.5 years and loves it. He is building social and language skills that will prepare him for elementary school. We feel that Lil Goldman offers a safe, fun environment. We have experienced three different pre-Ks because we've moved a few times and Lil Goldman is by far the best one we've experienced. I highly recommend it.
