They pay competitive wages and have several benefit packages. The owners even chose to be corporate partners with the TEXAS T.E.A.C.H Scholarship program, which allows all staff to take early education college courses including at the university level at zero cost to the staff. Plus the owners give financial incentives for completing courses. The O'Connor's care about the education and careers of their staff, often promoting leadership from within and providing an opportunity for personal and professional growth for every teacher. I highly recommend this work place.

The teachers work really hard and are not compensated considering how high the tuition is. There were frequently issues that parents weren't informed of that as a parent I would want to know but it was an administrative decision. From a parent perspective it is great. But because I worked there to afford the tuition; I could not ignore how the staff was being treated many women were too scared to say anything for fear of being written up. I truly hope things have improved ,but I ethically cannot support a business that doesnt pay their excepcional teachers a living wage.

Until this current school year, we were satisfied with our experience. In fact, we actively recommended them to other families. I can no longer do so in good conscience. Distance learning during a pandemic is difficult for all involved, both staff and students. My daughter began this school year doing distance learning. She was not doing well at all; she struggled. We requested extra help for her in the form of a detailed daily schedule to follow, since both parents are also working full time. The school instead gave her daily one-on-one time with the founder, Ms. Betty. Even with this daily help, our daughter was not completing her work, so her father and I were spending evenings checking on her assignments in Google Classroom. During this checking, we came across a story that had been assigned to my daughter's class for a reading comprehension assignment. This appalling story is shown in the pictures attached to this review. After a moment of "does that really say what I think it says?!?", my husband and I decided to email the school's administration and the classroom teacher. We were already very frustrated because of our daughter's distance learning issues, so my email was direct and to the point. This is racist. It is unacceptable. Why is your school using a 50 year old reading curriculum? What other overtly racist stories are in this curriculum? Why isn't the classroom teacher reading what she is assigning to students? I expected to receive an apology and a solution. What we got instead was the most unprofessional email I have ever seen to come from a school administrator. The administrator agreed to research a new reading program to purchase based on the age of the materials, but then told us that we had accused them personally of being racist and that that was offensive. No apologies for the content of the story. No "oh my goodness, I didn't realize that was in there". No admission that the story was unacceptable. Just defensiveness and blame-shifting. We requested to be released from our Spring tuition contract, and that request was granted. We withdrew our daughter and enrolled her in public school. We had paid our tuition in full through December, so we are out several thousand dollars, but felt that this was the right course of action given the circumstances. For the record, we do not accuse any individual of personally being racist. However, racist materials were clearly present in their curriculum and were distributed to students. We believe other parents should be aware of this incident when they are making decisions about how to educate their children.

My husband and I say on a daily basis how lucky we are to have found this hidden gem. Ms. Kim is truly inspirational, the passion she has for seeing the kids learn and grow is so apparent in each thing she does. To say she goes above and beyond and creates a special bond with each child individually is an understatement. My daughter has learned so much not just about "school things" but also about friendship and social skills thanks to the amazing programs Kim has fostered in the classroom. I am so glad that we started her at 3 years because we will still get so much more time to enjoy her experience here before kinder!We recommend Just Kids Academy to anyone looking for an amazing and enriching preschool setting for their kiddo!

Updating my son's new school, I ended up withdrawing him from Morningside Elementary School due to…read moreMrs Johnson's back to back negative remarks about my son during his 3-4 weeks time at Morningside. I am surprise nobody from Comal ISD had reach out to me and ask me how is me and my son doing after i decided to withdraw him from this specific school with this specific teacher due to discrimination. My son is half filipino and half black American and as a mother i already knew something is up with his kindergarten teacher here at Morningside Elementary School. Not only she told me my son has to go to a behavioral class and he's so behind from his classmates etc etc he fights other kids he hits them etc etc. So after three weeks of putting up with Mrs Johnson negative notes in my sons notebook everyday for 3-4weeks i decided to withdraw him. 5 months later my 5 year old son is now at a Charter School, Have received the most number of awards such as perfect attendance, demonstrate respectfulness, star reader and a problem solver. And his new teacher always have positive things to say and would work with me and all parents to make sure our kids at my son's new charter school have the best experience in class. So i have always wonder with all the schools my son went to this is the only school that i certainly will say have Demonstrated, Illustrated and Definitely Showed me and my family "how to be discriminated in a public school as a young black and filipino kid". As a prior military who have served the United States Navy for 10 plus years, I do not condone or appreciate this type of institution specially not only i wouldn't get address correctly, it only shows that they do not care about this type of situation. They did try to have me setup a schedule and speak to their school principal once and mind you instead of her showing up to our meeting she send their school counselor because she's too busy doing other things. Which that meeting didn't go end well anyways. As they mentioned over and over is how my son is a bad kid and they don't know what to do with him except send him to a behavioral class. He hits other kids, he doesn't listen, etc etc. he's the only one who does this in my class. Wow this is the only school i must say bring back that PTSD i felt when i was on deployment. You know that feeling they're out to get you, yeah i felt that here. I felt like they were out to get my biracial kid for whatever reason they may have. It would've been a different scenario if my son didn't excel in other schools but like i said this school is the o my school i had this much problem and i'm surprise that the Comal ISD haven't reached out to me and my family and apologize for that teachers unfair treatment, to

My daughter loved her old school and was quite disappointed when we told her that she was going to a new school. However, after 4 months, she has acclimated well and have nothing but good things to say about her teachers and classmates. She finds the work challenging and exciting. The school has taught her and our family a new way to approach reading. They teach Latin and have poetry wars. They also have an after school program that is an extension to their education and not just babysitting. The after school teachers help with homework and pick up is until 6 pm. They also have after school clubs with nominal charge. What is most important to my family was the school's faculty and their program for kids with special needs. My son was diagnosed with a rare disorder in October, that affected him neurologically. Some of the staff from school and after school program visited him, including Mr. Brogran (assistant headmaster). We love his teacher Mrs. Laird. She is a smart, kind, and loving teacher. She visited him in the hospital twice. My son had missed 2 1/2 months of school from being sick. Ms. Ernest (teacher), has been so patient in teaching him at home. She has been an important part of his education. We drive to school at least an hour twice a day, sometimes longer. We decided to move closer to the school since our kids loved being there.
