My daughter went from strongly disliking math to math becoming her favorite subject. The school has just blown me away, with How amazing the teachers are and all of the staff. My daughter is one of 4 African-American children in the school , but I feel they have made a great effort to recognize culture and Diversity. I had made a post, saying they needed to do more on the issue of Celebrating Black History Month. I feel that was unfair of me to judge them, they have so much on their plates. This is by far the best middle school in Montana .

Amazing preschool, my son is starting his second year with Mountain Meadows Montessori (formerly…read moreLearning Circle Montessori) and we could not be happier. Staff is experienced, committed and truly care about each child's development. There is a robust Montessori program, weekly music classes, Spanish lessons, pet guinea pigs and goldfish, an amazing playground, and lots of art and science. My daughter completed three years here and was extremely well prepared for kindergarten at a public elementary school.

We went through a few daycares in town before finding and keeping this one. The teachers really…read morelove the kids, they keep them happy and learning with their curriculum. The curriculum and teachers work wonders, I've seen these preschool kids working at a first grade level. Its unfortunate the previous reviewer happened to arrive on an off day. I can guess when this happened because we've been using this daycare for years and there was a brief rough patch as a favorite teacher left (husband was relocated) and there were two others out sick. Aside from that brief time the daycare has run like clockwork and we are more than happy to be there.

We walked in to do a tour, the woman was unorganized and frazzled (owner? short, heavy with…read moreglasses). They still had a calender up from 2011, she said she was "hanging up the new one today" (it's August!) there was a little girl in time out because she was throwing a "fit" the woman said to us "oh, ya she's throwing a fit, don't mind her" rather than either ignoring it or explaining that it's their policy to give alone time for those kids. Then, another employee (who didn't know we were there) started yelling at the little girl in a threatening manner. I walked out, but not before telling the woman that she needs to either fire or properly train the other worker and before telling her that I didn't appreciate her wasting our time, as she didn't have the information she said she would have ready for us. NO THANK YOU!!!!
