We never thought we'd be writing this review…read more We were the kind of CMP parents who showed up, got involved, and truly believed in the school. We helped advocate for the return of their kindergarten program and loved sharing how magical it felt -- the chickens, the nature-based learning, and the emotional intelligence philosophy. For a while, it really was everything we wanted. But then something changed. When a serious safety concern arose, we found ourselves feeling that the school's response didn't match the seriousness of what we shared. We felt like the focus shifted more toward minimizing the situation and maintaining appearances, rather than directly addressing the concern or making sure our child was fully supported and safe. We left feeling unheard and unsure that the school was willing to prioritize our child's well-being over maintaining a perfect image. We had expected collaboration and care. Instead, we felt isolated, with no clear communication or plan of action to address what happened. We're not sharing this out of anger or bitterness -- we're sharing it because we believe parents deserve to know how it felt when things didn't align with the promises we once believed in. CMP may look wonderful on the outside. And for many, it may be. But we learned the hard way that the true test of a school's values is how they respond when something goes wrong. If you're considering this school, ask them the hard questions. Make sure you're fully comfortable with the answers -- and that they align with how you expect your child to be cared for and protected. We wish we had been given that chance.

No Halloween Costumes at an Elementary school? WTF is this world coming to?…read more This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. These poor kids get subjected to over-sensitive adults pushing an agenda and they're honestly the only one's paying the price. wish the school and the board had more common sense and a stronger backbone to not allow such ridiculous restrictions on our children. What's worse is that they won't even re-evaluate their position on this and ASK the parents what THEY WANT for THEIR CHILDREN. Ever heard of a survey? Pathetic

Rolling hills elementary how do I even start this. I went to rolling hills elementary for 2 year…read more Keep in mind I did have an IEP it plays a part in this review. I had a teacher her name was Mrs. Iverson she okay at the time but the more I go back in time and really think about it. Me and the other kids kinda got bullied by her. For example, my friend her name is Joanna she really wanted to do safety portal. So she ask Mrs. Iverson to sign the paper. So she read the paper and her words were "Joanna honey look you have a disability so this is a very big disadvantage for you so you can't do safety a patrol." And keep in mind the girl is 9 years old at the time. Like really come on that was so unnecessary. After that day she always looks down on her self and it still makes a big impact on her it's been 5 years since then. My personal experience with mrs. Iverson was interesting. I was cheering for Westview high school pop Warner. And at the time it just so happened to be competition season so that mean I miss one day and that day was a Friday. It also happened to be the day before winter break, so it shouldn't really matter because we were going to have a party anyways. BUT, Mrs Iverson told me her words. " Leilani aren't to fat to be in cheer." and keep in mind I was tall but I wasn't fat I only weighed about 70 pounds. To me that's not fat. So I came home crying because this wasn't the first this had happened with her with me and other kids. She didn't get fired and they just brushed it off. They didn't care. I was also only 9 years old so that caused me to have an ED and it is still with me 6 years later. So this really had an impact in my life as you hopefully can tell. So basically all I'm trying to say is that this school does not care about the special ed students that don't seem to have a disability from the outside. Because we mask it. If you don't know what masking it mean it mean to hide you "not normal habits" So if your kid does in fact have a disability and they do mask it. Very well around people they aren't close to. DON'T GO TO THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE THAT ISN'T EVEN THE WORSE I HAVE MORE experience from different teachers. BUT my favorite teacher of all time was Mrs. Mallory. I'm sorry for the bad grammar and or typos but I'm in the car and I'm kinda in a rush. Thank you for your time to reading this. Have a great rest of your day.

Though they kept telling me he's still a baby and his behavior will change, I was also told they don't have the staff and correct skills for himto basically succeeded there and they suggested I transfer him to a school where there is a classroom with less students and more staff to help give him the support he needs. Since we have transferred him to Park Village and seen great improvement. As for Morning Creek, our experience has been less than great. I don't feel like my son was given the chance to enjoy his home school. I don't think they implemented much to help him succeed in the classroom, I felt like he was judged for being hyper and hard to redirect. He did get free a little physical with some of the other TK students which I heard about every incident. But as the school year goes on with him at Park Village, he's been telling me about one specific student from MC He did not enjoy spending his time with and this student caused him a lot of physical pain as well even when he tried to be nice to him. I was never told of any kids being physical with him just the other way around. To this day HE feels like no one at the school, staff and students like him and as a mother, this makes me super angry because why is my five-year-old having these thoughts of his elementary school? I have spoken to a neighbor who told me she has met families who were told they don't have the proper skills teach high stimulated kids. Mrs. Smith, the behaviorist and the recess staff always treated him well. It makes me sad he thinks his teacher didn't like him and the other Students. It makes me angry that he supposedly initiated every violent incident. I got the chance to be in the classroom every morning for the first month of school and let me tell you, kids can be quite brutal to each other with their words! I know for the most part they don't realize what they say can be hurtful to somebody but my son has not forgotten all the mean words said to him at Morning Creek..
