My son got…read moreslapped in the face at school and the principal decided to handle it by having a meeting with the kid that assaulted my son and the vice principal and himself. He then asked my son to slap him in the face to determine how hard he was slapped. He then decided to tell my son seems like it was a playful slap. A playful slap is not a thing. this man should not be a leader. he is a rude man that disrespected me in front of my son ans other students. He is not ment to lead but needs to be gone. This is the same principal that says nothing can be done about girls going to school looking like strippers. butt cheeks hanging out belly's out boobs out and etc. i Hate this school and I'm determined to this man having a consequence for telling my son getting assaulted was playful.

I was here for a football game. They are still building the sports complex and it is looking…read morewonderful. The field was turf and looked amazing. My only issue with the venue is the large fence surrounding the football field and the stands on the back side of the fence. The highest levels of the bleachers are about 6 feet and the fence is about 10-12 feet. When you try and watch the football game you have to look through the chain link fence or stand up on the top of the bleachers to see over the top of the fence. To me this is a design mistake and makes trying to watch a game difficult. Easy to get to, park and the field access is convenient. All-in-all I am a fan of this complex.

TLDR - was ghosted completely after a visit; didn't feel we were welcome…read more A bit of a background, we visited this montessori to explore the possibility of enrolling our old child (less than a year old), when eligible in 9 months or so at the earliest. My spouse and I, we are both immigrants with no immediate family here for the support. We both have graduate degrees in STEM and work full-time. This montessori, given its proximity to our home and hours of availability, would have been a great option for my child to enroll. Unfortunately, we felt we were not really welcome here based on our visit and follow-through, or the lack of it. My wife made the first approach and was strongly encouraged by a staff at the school to arrange a possible visit. For clarification, the visit is a part of the multi-step process of getting admission. This staff mentioned to my spouse that this would be the best time to explore the possibility of enrolling our child. My spouse was very excited for the visit, which had to be scheduled between 9-10 am when they accommodate at most 2 people/families a day. The visit was alright for the most part. There were few odd moments here and there but we have gotten accustomed to those from our visits to other daycares and such. We were also informed by the staff giving the tour, a different staff from the one who my wife initially contacted, that the admission is really competitive and difficult to get. This sounded slightly different than the prior information from the staff. It was still understandable given how strained childcare and educational services have been in the area. At the end of the visit, we were given a brochure but were informed that they were out of the application form - odd again but not out of the norm. We were told the staff had our email and will send us the application form, and we could also reach out if we had more questions. My spouse emailed this staff with the questions the very same day. After getting no response for a couple of days, my spouse called the said staff and left a voicemail after receiving no answer. We never heard back and never got that application form. My wife again emailed the following week to no avail. We were ghosted and started wondering if we failed to meet certain standards they had set, unbeknownst to us.This is even more baffling given the fact the staff barely asked us, the parents, anything to know us. Now, in any other place, this would be an issue with one staff. Here, based on the information available on their website, it sounds like the multi-step admission process goes through certain staffs, not committees. We started asking ourselves what the chances are that if we couldn't hear back after multiple attempts or receive an application form, our application will be adjudged fairly, let alone be accepted. I am not sure whether I should be happy that the staff showed us how the "educational place" is before we got heavily involved or I should be saddened that an early development school is unwelcoming to many.

But there is one area, where this conversation has ceased. And that is 'What is the right school for our children?'. MSGH is a unique Montessori school that not only provides an authentic education that perfectly balances academics with life & executive skills, but a school that has created such a loving and caring community that we truly call our second home. That is the one area, where I don't have to worry anymore - I know my children are being lovingly cared for, receive the right amount of support to flourish emotionally and to grow into mature individuals that are strong academically but also feel responsible to make our world a better place for everyone.
