Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
As you can see, the teachers at Lone Mountain are ALWAYS enthusiastic, treat children with respect, and are adored by all the children and parents alike. They are also very consistent in the way they act toward the children - they all behave very similarly when dealing with the kids.

Parent #2
I love our staff. They all have something unique to offer. Many of them have been there for a long time. They are caring, loving, knowledgeable, respectful of each other and the children, and look like they are having fun. My son adores his teachers.

Parent #3
The teachers at Lone Mountain are amazing and so are the support teachers and the specialists. Really, the teachers and other staff are the reason our kids have gone and go there. The hours are inconvenient and when our oldest went so was the location but the program and the teachers make it all worth it.

Parent #4
The teachers are awesome. They have been there for a very long time. The kids adore them and they are obviously very experienced. The only thing I would like is additional feedback on my child in particular.

Parent #5
I think the teachers at Lone Mountain are outstanding and I would give each one an excellent rating.

Parent #6
Teachers are experienced and outstanding.

Parent #7
The only downside to LMCC is the limited schedule. The days are short and infrequent because the school uses one large room for all their classes so one class must be gone for the other to begin. There is no after school care or lunch opportunity which is tough for working parents.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Make sand at home! Half the fun is creating, and half is playing with the material. Mix all listed ingredients together in a plastic bin, and then give your child small containers, shovels, funnels so that they can dump and fill. Toy cars and bulldozers are also a lot of fun.
