The Children's School has been wonderful for our family. The school does not look impressive when you first see it, but once you enter any classroom, you will find that each one is very spacious and well-equipped with Montessori and other developmental materials. The level of work is more advanced than
... Read more other schools I have seen. The teachers are very caring and qualified and the children learn a lot of math, science, geography, history, etc. at a very young age. The after-school care program is also good. My children have attended the school for the past four years, and I am very happy with it. They consistently score 1-2 grade levels above their own grade level in the Iowa Test of Basic skills, which the school administers to all its students from first grade onwards. That is true of many of the students at that school. I highly recommend it. Read less

Most of the teachers are great but don't get the support they need. Classrooms are old and dangerous. Where is all the money going? Apparently not to fix up the school. I paid a lot of money a month plus the money they ask you for, to give staff! Are they not paid enough? The staff seem ok but most dont

She didn't learn anything except how to be held in a cramped room all day with caos all around.

This school is good at talking a good sale and not delivering. The class rooms are numbered more than what is told and the transition classes are booked, so 5 year old children are held in class rooms with the 3 year children. Most of the teachers are not degreed, so teaching is not at its best. Be
