The best part, is that my son is starting to speak more words and sing songs when he is at home. Thank you Kathy, Yesi, and other teachers as well! The school also has a dance class that I enrolled my son in. He loves it and that makes us happy.

My child attended this school for 2 years. May was going to be her last month and that is when I…read morestarted to have issues. At the very beginning of the month my daughter was suspended for behavior even though I believe the teacher mishandled the situation. I decided to pull her from the school since it was her last month and I was told I would be refunded for the tuition I paid for May, nearly $1,200 since she only attended 2 days that month. When my follow up calls weren't actively being ignored I was told by office staff that the director Kris handled financing and would call me back. This went on for months before I gave up on being refunded. Months later I'm still upset with how they handled the situation. They discussed my personal information with my family who also had a child enrolled and even issued her a partial refund when she parted ways early, but not me. I feel disrespected by the situation and because of that I would never recommend this daycare to anyone I know personally.

A Warning to Parents: Our Traumatizing Experience at PVCS…read more As an associate marriage and family therapist, I never thought I would encounter such a neglectful and dismissive environment in a school setting -- especially one that claims to operate under Christian values. For several months, my daughter was subjected to repeated physical and emotional harm by another student in her class. She came home with glue in her hair, sand in her mouth, and bruises on her body. Despite numerous attempts to alert her teachers and administrators, including Mrs. Wilson -- the school's principal -- no meaningful action was taken to protect my child or address the behavior. When I attempted to speak calmly with the parent of the other child, I was dismissed and deflected. I approached the teachers, including a daycare staff member whose training and experience appeared insufficient for the role, and received minimal acknowledgment. At no point did I demand the child be expelled -- I asked only for accountability and protection. Instead, my concerns were reframed and misrepresented by the administration. I ultimately made the decision to withdraw my daughter, and she is now thriving in public school. She no longer returns home in tears or covered in bruises. She is safe, learning, and happy. In my professional opinion, the school failed in its duty of care. It seemed more concerned with image management than the well-being of its students. There was also a troubling pattern of older children -- including a second-grade boy who repeatedly displayed aggressive behavior -- being allowed unsupervised or inadequately supervised access to younger students, including kindergarteners. These decisions put many children at risk. Several other parents I know made the difficult decision to remove their children as well. We were all met with the same pattern: avoidance, minimization, and spiritual language used to deflect responsibility. It pains me to write this about a religious institution. But in my experience, it is precisely behind religious language and rhetoric that some of the most egregious forms of gaslighting and inaction are allowed to persist. If you are a parent considering this school, I urge you to ask direct questions about their conflict resolution processes, staff qualifications, and discipline procedures. Make sure your child's safety is prioritized -- not just spoken about, but truly upheld.

Terrible food. The school has you pay for food and constantly has to make budget cuts. The teachers…read moreare very sexist and like the girls more than the boys. Even though I am Christian I see them force the students to and if they are not christian than the teachers will make you feel guilty. Just not a good school. I prevously went there and the staff there would spread rumors about me being a bad kid even though I was pretty nice. What did I do to deserve this life at the terrible school. Its not a school more like a Prison.

These students won't be board or revert back to temper tantrums due to children whom are overwhelmed by their new surroundings, hence causing distractions and holding them back 2) view teacher's classroom learning techniques and behavioral management. Is she handing out too many work sheets? Is she tracking the children's workload? Is she holding them accountable? Is there a better way to learn than just work sheets? Is her behavior management system fair? Equal? Achievable? How does she motivate the kids? Is asking a class on a Monday who hasn't been student of the week being organized? Is giving her a weekend's worth of prep time on a school night to turn in the following day allowing the child to feel special, and 3) prevent programs. The kindergarten teacher my child has is very unprofessional and non-sympathetic. A teacher cannot say, "I don't care what your mom says", or wave a piece of paper in a child's face and say "hello!" when she is not paying attention. This teacher would dismiss aggressive behavior. No, my child is not an angel, but she has never squeezed another students hand with all her might and tossed it aside, slapped, or thrown rocks at another student. I am always notified when my child bothers another, but when my child is upset because another student did something to her, and the teacher tells her to get back to work because she doesn't want to hear it, I myself, will dismiss any "aggressive" behavior my child might have been caught doing because it might, just might be in self defense (I am not the only parent whom experienced this with the same teacher). The teacher has no connection with the kids, nor concern for their safety and enjoyment of learning. The principal doesn't encourage character trait reward programs to motivate the children. The reasoning being, why give them a reward for something they should already know? However, not all parents are teaching these traits at home. Moreover, as young children, they don't know how to reward themselves yet, so recognition is motivation and encourages others to do good as well. School award assemblies where parents are invited is another form of motivation for the kids. The principal doesn't seem to find creative ways to keep the Las Posas school community motivated as a whole (teachers, parents, students). Prevent and excel programs for all students, not just the kids LCAP have chosen. Military children should actually be considered for "at-risk" programs just like the homeless, ESL, and foster students because they come from unstable homes as well. LCAP meetings are not to get parent input, but to tell us what they have already chosen to spend extra government funding on. My credentials include the education field in California and Illinois. This review is meant for the 2017-2018 school year.
