This school is more concerned about money than the students. They purchase a gym before a school nurse or counselor and are constantly hitting you up for money. The teachers are great, for the most part, but the principal's ego is entirely too inflated.

I am a proud parent of two young children that attend Cliff Valley School.  I find the pre-K program to be a warm and loving environment that is fully entrenched in the child directed learning approach.  This thoroughly researched approach is a wonderful advantage because although there is a curriculum, it's nice to have freedom to expand upon something that is important to the students, which in turn, excite their learning even more.  My son, in the pre-K program for two years, is moving on to Kindergarten this year with happy anticipation.  I believe the success of any school can be measured when a child truly wants to go to school to find what subjects he or she will learn that day and in turn, can't wait to share their learning successes with me, the parent.  At an early learning stage, I believe you cannot ask of any school for more than instilling a desire to learn which hopefully will follow them throughout their education. I noticed the previous reviewer mentioning the age range of students in Pre-K as a negative.  Actually, a mixed age classroom of 3.5-5 years old is advantageous as it fosters leadership in the older children and allows the younger children to model behaviors and learn some skills at a faster pace from the older children.  This is a learning method that many successful schools have incorporated into their preschool programs and many Montessori programs offer the same design as well.I am happy with the efforts put forth by Cliff Valley School and the results seen in my children; therefore, I would encourage any parent to consider Cliff Valley for their child's education
