Ms. Andrea is an amazing women and teacher. She cares deeply about her work and the children. I was…read morehesitant to take my child anywhere, after we visited this school I didn't look elsewhere. My child has grown over last year being independent with numerous duties and vocabulary has increased tremendously. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

I really liked this school.... or at least the idea of it. I've always heard that these schools…read morewere so much better than conventional learning. Often I wished that I could've attended one and maybe I would've had a better taste in my mouth about education. Nahhhh it's all the same just with some hippie dippy frosting. My little boy ( who isn't on the spectrum ) was asked to not come back to another school because after being picked on repeatedly about his speech impediment and getting his lunch tray slept away from him finally stood up for himself. We thought this would be different... It was not. The whole way these schools sell themselves to you is the "extra special attention to every single child". They say that until they come across a child that needs some extra special attention . My little boy is nothing but a rambunctious B-O-Y. Well, that's too much to handle. What he needs is to be straightened up and disciplined ( I know this because it works fantastically on him ) not pulled to the side and asked to speak about his feelings and to meditate and sing Kumbaya (I know this because it doesn't). I'm sure this school is fantastic if you think an education revolves around fingerpainting and relaxation exercises, just don't think it's the answers to your prayers. So, now we are looking for another school and they are still putting up these filtered pictures. If your kid is a perfect example of what a child should be like this is the place for you. I'm pretty sure though if your child is the perfect example of what... then you're probably not looking into alternative learning scenarios. If your kid happens to get a little energetic, may say a word he's heard that he's not supposed to, or God forbid he tells another child that he doesn't like them. Keep them away from the school. I would hate for some Berkeley daycare school drop out to half to actually work. Most importantly I would hate for your child to have to be told that they can't go back to a school that they like and feel like he's some sort of failure. What a waste.

It gives me peace of mind to know that every day he spends at least three hours in an exceptional, self-guided learning environment. Ms. Evi is very talented and her 10 years of experience speaks for itself when you see her interact with the children. She is very kind and respectful toward them while also managing to create a structured, positive learning environment. Every day my son comes home telling me about the new things he learned and I have noticed he asks more intelligent questions about everything. I like that he is learning life skills like how to pour his own glass of milk and use a sponge. This has given him more confidence which is so important at this age. I feel so blessed that we stumbled on Ms. Evi's program for her first year in Kaysville as I am fairly certain in subsequent years the spots will go quickly. This program is worth every penny and I would absolutely put my son back in next year if we weren't moving.

Our experience felt unorganized with inadequately planned and poorly implemented curriculum. There was also an overall lack of communication. I will also note that the school advertises low student to teacher ratios, however, the majority of staff members working in the classrooms work as aides and do not hold degrees. I highly recommend against Dancing Moose for an elementary-age student.

The school is aesthetically appealing, clean, high ceilings, lots of natural light/windows & subdued colors. They really work hard to make the environment soothing for the children. On any given day you will hear soothing music playing, smell essential oils being defused. The little ones are taught about grace, courtesy, social skills, conflict resolution, self help skills/autonomy, self soothing, etc. They really teach to the whole child. They don't put math/science/reading above any other life skills, which is huge. Many days they have "gratitude circle, meditation circle, or massage circle," where they get to practice these skills. The stimuli/materials available also make learning fun. They are made from natural materials so you don't need to worry about what is off gassing/leaching around your child. And, they are so visually appealing, little hands want to reach for them. These Montessori materials make abstract concepts become concrete & fun to master. The staff members know the children intimately, due to the small size of the school. From admin to assistants the adults are patient, enthusiastic & energetic with the children. We love the school. Mrs. Sam, my son's teacher is a rock star. She is equal parts strict and spunky. In her calm/quiet way she teaches children about boundaries, and yet she is so full of pizzazz. Mrs. Claudia has compassion & grace for days. Mrs. Lisa (front desk) always has a smile & wonderful recommendations/solutions. Ms. Maddie is by far the most compassionate, attuned & in touch principal I have ever met. Ms. Z will patiently and enthusiastically answer your little ones 391 questions! Ms. Isa will cut you grace when your little human makes a less than stellar choice, if she got a penny for every time she said, "That's okay, don't worry," she would be in the top 1%. I am an educator myself & have worked in many different districts, this school is truly a gem. We are so blessed to have found it. The children are truly treated like family, loved on, safe, nurtured & can therefor thrive.
