[quote=Anonymous]Another MV parent here for PK-4 child. I concur with the prior poster on the social aspects -- our DS is very happy at MV and appears to be learning, and is certainly learning Spanish at a tremendous clip. The first two months were really rough on the immersion, but after that it has been smooth sailing, and he clearly understands Spanish at a decent level. I admit that it is sometimes hard to track progress of a four year old since they don't really read, write and do math on their own yet, and I really don't expect them to. The school does have growing pains as expected, but is a happy, positive environment where kids from all backgrounds seem to get along very well together. The parents who we have met are also really terrific. It is off to an excellent start as a school. I agree with a prior poster that there is no track record to judge, so that is something you will have to consider when comparing it to a more established school. The location is also a wild card, and the facilities in the early years will not be the best. The after care is really well done if that is important to you. My DS loves going to school every day, and I often have to drag him out of school. Good luck with your decision, there is no right answer here. There are so many factors that go into how a child succeeds academically and socially, especially at the younger ages, and we as parents play a very large role independent of whatever school our child attends.
