Miro preschool is, without a doubt, the most outstanding preschool I have encountered in Arizona,…read moreand I willingly commute over one hour each way to ensure my son's attendance. The school's international language curriculum, impeccable cleanliness, and exceptional educators make it a truly exceptional institution.

I took SueAnn's course for adults earlier this year. I signed up thinking it would be a "refresher"…read morecourse. To my shame, I realized that there was so much about etiquette that my Generation X crowd just never learned! From the proper way to shake hands to being a professional at the office, SueAnn is a wonderful teacher. As someone who worked in human resources for over a decade, I expected to be more knowledgeable about the office section but SueAnn's content surprised me. She even had tips about working remotely and the use of mobile devices in both personal and professional settings. One unexpected bonus our class received was being given a color analysis and learning which color clothing we look better in. We loved it! Where the course really comes alive is with the meal and dining section. We all learned SO much! She lets you ask questions and you will learn how to be either a rock star host or a good guest. I WISH that I had taken this course sooner. It's All About Etiquette offers many programs for children and teens. Parents, send your kids! Give your children a competitive advantage in life. These courses are worth every cent, especially when you consider that SueAnn has worked with many leading companies. It's a shame that proper etiquette and good manners are declining in society. With this program, you can learn new skills and brush up on what you have forgotten! Recommend!

My son went to McCormick Preschool from 6 weeks old until after he started school and he loved it…read morethere. The kids are in separate classrooms, with kids the same age, learning valuable educational and social skills. My son benefited greatly from the teachers at McCormick and still remembers all of them, especially getting his Red Vines when he left everyday from Ms. Barbara. Most of the teachers there are career teachers and not just showing up for work every day. They really care about the kids who go there. The school has Christmas parties every year with families, food and a visit from Santa. Holidays are all celebrated with parties full of hand-made decorations, songs, crafts and costumes! Lots of photos are taken of the kids so parents can share in their growth and daytime activities. Besides being a really fun place for the kids to be, the McCormick Preschool van gives the kids rides to and from school everyday. This service made it possible for me to work an uninterrupted day while my son was taken care of for the entire day. There was even a graduation ceremony with a cap and gown! I read a REALLY long and negative review on Yelp about McCormick and have to wonder if someone that worries about bacteria in the dirt their child plays in could ever be satisfied with someone else's care of her child. I have always taken my child's safety very seriously, but that's just weird. McCormick Preschool is an amazing school and even though my son graduated a few years ago, I am still proud to have the school in my neighborhood. I recommend McCormick Preschool 100%!

I enrolled in Rancho Solano for my junior year, and let's just say; it wasn't exactly a caring and…read morefriendly environment. I went to Rancho thinking I would get one of the best educations ever, many reviews (i'm assuming are either payed reviews or the extremely rich parents who's kids lied to them about enjoying it) seemed amazing. However, when I arrived I found all the kids my age to be the most stuck up, snobby, rich kids I had ever met. So extremely out of touch, dimwitted, racist, and tone deaf. I was sitting in study hall when I overheard a group of people gossiping about a senior the previous year who cheated on some very hard/important finals and got caught. The parents allegedly paid the principal an additional 25k (which is the same amount as tuition) to stay quiet about it and let him pass. However, that could easily be untrue and just a rumor (wouldn't be surprised with the amount of liars enrolled). I was in Integrated 2 math class. The absolute worst math teacher EVER had. I was more of a quiet kid, I wanted to keep to myself and not talk to any of the out of touch students there. She would often call me out during break asking why I wasn't with my friends, knowing I had pretty much none (by choice). She was more focused on being a "tough"/"strict"/"intimidating" teacher than a good teacher. I learnt more about her unnecessary classroom rules than about what I needed to pass the class. On the midterm final, I spent 2 weeks studying everything we had learnt throughout the year. We weren't made aware until the week of that we weren't allowed calculators on the test, although we had practiced with calculators the whole year. The final felt like a whole new class, for a moment I thought I was at the wrong final exam when I saw what was on it. The housekeeping of this school is very poorly looked after. It's disgusting, specifically the bathrooms. I can only speak for the girls bathroom, there was always toilets that hadn't been bothered to be flushed. The janitors do not do a good job to clean it up, there would be the same unflushed mess in the same toilets for a week straight. More importantly maybe the adults should teach these kids how to flush a toilet as their maids have been doing it all their lives. I will be calling out another teacher who I thankfully did not have but I did witness doing some strange things to a sophomore girl. We were doing presentations in class and this teacher came in to watch a group of girls who obviously he gets along with and has for a class. I always think it's a little strange whenever teachers and students have oddly close or even flirty relationships with one another. I didn't think too much of it until out of nowhere one of the girls screams bursting out of laughter. This 35+ man was tickling a 15 year old girls waist. Absolutely disgusting and predatory behavior. I won't be saying names but all I know is that he teaches science classes. They always emphasized how strict their rules were about dress code. About how skirts should be 4 inches from the middle of the knee, most girls were walking around with their underwear visible and nobody batted an eye. This place does not deserve to be ranked #2 in Arizona's private schools. Disgusting, sloppy, shady, and overall a complete joke.

As one of our fellow Yelp'ers pointed out to me recently, getting into the right pre-school is so…read moreimportant. We would agree! We met JoDene Tryon, the founder of Mission Montessori several years ago when we moved to Scottsdale, since the school is located on our church, St Anthony on the Desert's property. They believe, that it is their "mission to prepare and provide the most natural and life supporting environment for the child, observing the child and continually adapting the environment to support the fulfillment of the child's greatest potential--physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually." That's a nice summary of the Montessori method. It's a great concept, and a great school. If you are new to the area, or are just looking for the right place for your three or four year old. I would make an appointment to see for yourself.
