    We truly enjoyed this school, but what we appreciated most was Ms. Zoe and her incredible…read morededication to our children. The amount of love, care, and effort she pours into teaching is evident every single day. As our daughter transitioned into TK, we were frequently complimented on how advanced she was. Our response was always the same: "She had the best preschool teacher!" Ms. Zoe built such a strong foundation for her, and we will always be grateful for that. She was also one of the few staff members who was consistently present, rarely missing a day and always showing up for the children in her class. Her communication with parents was exceptional, and together we were able to work as a team to support our daughters in the best way possible. We can't express enough gratitude for everything Ms. Zoe has done for our family, and we will forever recommend her to anyone looking for a preschool teacher. Leaving your children with people you don't know is always nerve-wracking, especially after we've had a difficult experience with a previous childcare provider. Ms. Zoe completely changed our perspective on what a caring, compassionate, and nurturing educator should be. If you ever have the opportunity to have your child in Ms. Zoe's class, don't hesitate. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

    My 4 children have attended this school over the past 10 years, from 18 months to 5 years old, and…read moreour family has had a very positive experience. The teachers and staff are caring, patient, and dedicated. They were also very helpful during potty training which helped so much. Each morning, they check children's temperatures, which gives us parents peace of mind and shows their strong focus on health and safety. The school is very well organized with daily routines, activities, holiday events, learning programs, and strong parent communication. I always appreciated the progress reports and updates, showing how involved and attentive the teachers are. The environment is always clean, welcoming, and well managed, with consistent routines, rules, and food policies. Many teachers and staff have been there for many years, which speaks highly of the school's stability and management. A special thank you to Maria in the office (20+ years) and all the wonderful teachers my children have had, including Samantha (19+ years), Karen, Yatsiri, Nicole, and Lorena. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a clean, organized, loving, and trustworthy environment.

    Desert Sands Unified School District_La Quinta,CA. Judge…read moreruled not guilty, not guilty Judgement Ignored by administrators Where is the Justice when Court Judgements are ignored. When defendant is Judged not guilty in a court of law. Equal Justice does not exist when dealing with a biased unjust system. As exhibited by Desert Sands Unified School District. A Judgement of not guilty is only something for DSUSD personnel department to blatantly ignore while giving each other another high five of how they do not have to follow any laws set forth by the Judicial System of the State of California when ignoring judgements made by a California Court. Where is the Justice when a Judgement by a court of not guilty is ignored. Equal justice does not exist when dealing with a biased unjust system. How much abuse of power or authority is allowed by people that are obviously corrupt when a District Attorney has to intervene and prosecute school board members and school administrators for their wrong doing after a grand jury makes a decision that something has to be done. That is a little more important than the questions that an electrician is asking that would not be asked if his ability to be allowed to find new employment after a layoff would have been allowed. Electrician had to go through court proceedings at his own expense in first two months after layoff with no income to help pay for any of it. To finally have a ruling of not guilty that should have cleared the way for him to search for another job with no encumbrance from prior employer. Instead even after a not guilty and all claims made by prior employer ruled to be erroneous with no merit. Desert Sands Unified School District personnel department continued their attack while ignoring that judgement. Prospective employers were provided with the same rubbish type information that had been used at that previous hearing where a ruling of not guilty had been issued and once again a year later that same identical set of accusations were once again presented at an informal mediation meeting that electrician had requested foolishly since only heard the same accusations being regurgitated again that had already been ruled upon as being ridiculous rubbish with a ruling of not guilty that should have cleared the way for employment with an organization where a little more honesty would exist where laws are followed by employer. That employment did finally become available with a highly respected electricians union that performs high quality work for school districts where those school districts appreciate their employees. All of this time and money that was wasted when requesting that mediation that could only be requested a year later that was also at my expense to pay for travel and lodging that once again was a considerable expense that is not recognized by people with little or no concept of reality as long as it is all free of charge to them while people providing their same regurgitated rubbish again over a year later had been well compensated while in their luxurious offices with no new allegations to present. That rubbish had already been ruled as nonsense by a California State Judge when a verdict of not guilty had been recorded legally and correctly. A comparison of transcripts can easily confirm these statements to be true and correct so there is no room for argument remaining about it not being the same regurgitated rubbish or nonsense that had already been ruled on with a verdict of not guilty by a California State Judge that Desert Sands Unified School District personnel department had been provided a copy of. So there is no excuse that Desert Sands Unified School District was not informed that their accusations were ruled upon. Since DSUSD had originally requested the court hearing in an attempt to show that their accusations were being made by people representing a school district that were dishonest with their only ability being that of giving each other a high five when harassing employees. Judge did not rule on Desert Sands Unified School District representatives lack of honesty but did rule that their accusations having no merit. With a ruling of defendant being not guilty of all accusations made that should have meant being able to seek employment where a profession requiring electrical skills would be appreciated. When a person does their job so well that they are not allowed vacation time each year as requested for the spring of the year each year for seven years consecutively so the person that is performing his duties so well is not allowed to take a two week break in Yosemite National Park where many law abiding people go to enjoy a little time away from the daily responsibilities that most people find to be necessary. Prisoners of war are treated better in my opinion. Judge ruled not guilty then not guilty judgement ignored by Desert Sands Unified School District to attempt to destroy electricians life due to no accountability.

    They gave my 5 yr old a bladder infection because they wouldn't let her use the bathroom often…read moreenough. My daughter told me she was routinely told to 'just hold it' when she asked to go to the bathroom. I spoke with them about this and they said they gave her time to go, yet she still developed another bladder infection. She told me the second time that she *was* asking her teachers to go and they were still telling her to hold it. My older daughter confirmed this was happening. This was really upsetting and we left shortly after this point. Another incident that happened was bullying by one of the teachers Ms. Shama. She was very hard on my daughter who was struggling to learn her numbers in Kindergarten. It got so bad that my daughter started having nightmares about learning numbers. I was concerned enough to write a note to the teacher asking kindly to please understand she was still learning. My daughter later reported to me Ms. Shama refused to let her participate in any numbers or reading activities after that because she said 'your mom said you can't do any activities', which was of course not what I said in my note or in the quick f2f chat we had. I was really disappointed that an adult would treat a 5 year old this way.

She had a bit of separation anxiety but the teachers there helped to make dropping off an easy transition. The teachers are great, they did educational but fun activities and speciality days. My daughter learned a lot. We particularly loved her learning Star Spangled Banner and that the teachers gave her exposure to different languages. We certainly miss this school!

Kids have nothing to play outside. Also, they keep kids outside for lunch all the time no matter the temperature is above 110 degree during summer or fierce windy days , just avoid the carpet get dirty ( California has a law, not allow schools put kids outside when temperature is above 90 degree). The carpet is more important than kids for school. The high cost tuition does not match the school facilities at all! I decided to change school after my daughter stayed there for two weeks.

Any school can teach your child to read, write and spell by age five but Montessori school also taps into your child's cognitive learning ability. This school is of the best schools in the desert. I had two children going there. They started at age 4 and by 5 years old they were doing phonics and encouraging them to read. Their math progress came naturally which is amazing because that is what Montessori schools tap into. Teacher-child ratio is small. Discipline, etiquette, manners are also important. They have dance, gymnastics, Spanish, art and theatre available. Parents and teachers are very close. Feels like a family! I highly recommend this school. We had to move and we were unable to continue with this school. My kids still attend a Montessori school in the "big city". I currently took my children to an elite private school and their entry evaluation results were above normal school level.
