    If you're looking for a high quality nurturing environment for your child North Shore Montessori is…read morethe place. I'm not known for long reviews here but I could write well not a book, but quite a brochure. EVERYONE at this school is amazing. I've had 4 children go through excellent high performing public schools in high income suburbs but North Shore exceeds them by a substantial margin. Do yourselves and your children the favor of visiting.

    It's almost a year out since my child was enrolled in this school but after having time to reflect…read moreI want to make sure parents are aware of our experience. My child was around 2.5 when starting his first "school" experience here. He was part time (3 hours in the morning) and attended maybe a total of 5 or 6 school days before they told me they needed to unenroll him. The reasoning was regarding his emotional regulation. I could definitely see that he was having a hard time with emotional regulation - even at home. They also advised me to get him evaluated. I have no issues with getting my son help that he needs, but it did shock me to have such a strong response after barely knowing him and without giving him a chance to acclimate to a new environment. I asked for specific things that happened to understand what he was doing exactly that would result in him being unenrolled and the examples they gave were like "running around" and "struggling with the routine". I thought they were going to tell me he physically hurt someone or himself or that he was destructive to the classroom. I took time to reflect on their comments and spoke to his doctor. He did not have concerns and said that at 2.5 we cannot expect toddlers to have a grasp on their emotional regulation yet. Since this experience, he has now been in different schools where he is thriving. It's not due to smaller class ratios - the school he is in now has the same ratio and he is so happy to go to every day. I'm not sure what was going on at North Shore that made him so distressed. I believe if they gave him the opportunity to adjust he could have done well there too. Unfortunately, I think they only accept specific types of children that can follow very rigid routines. I chose a Montessori school because I thought the philosophy was to follow a child's lead as opposed to rigidity. I definitely acknowledge that my child was having a harder time managing his emotions (especially at that age), but parents of toddlers who are still learning how to regulate emotions and need more fluidity to just be a kid should be aware of this before enrolling. I also want to note that I find it extremely odd that you can't find reviews on this school. Google reviews are turned off, and there are only 2 posts on Facebook.

    I would say that there are some parishioners who discriminate against minorities, but not all are…read morethis way. You see as a Christian, you must realize everyone is at various levels, some at the beginning step towards Christianity and a few ready to go to heaven at any time. Like Christ has told us, the path is narrow; to be Christian one must place self aside and place others first. Forgive those parishioners who discriminate for they are not fully aware of the repercussions of their sin. Let's pray for these poor souls, that they may enter into heaven. Pray for our parishioners! I must point out the great works our parish does. We have volunteers whom go out to the Milwaukee Metro area to do God's work. There are many fundraising events for our various organizations like: St. Vincent De Paul meal program, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Respect Life Committee, All Saints Meal Program and more. Our Peru sister parish, in which volunteers pay for their trip to Peru and address the Peruvians medical needs and more. Outreach provides funds frequently to various organizations. Check out our bulletin and you will see specifically where the money goes to.
