This is a wonderful school. The teachers are fantastic. They making learning fun. My daughter is in the first grade and she reads chapter books. She can recite all 50 states in alphabetical order. She loves her teacher. My daughter does use an iPad at school, I was very concerned at first but she has access to apps that really challenge her. We will be putting these programs on our iPad at home! We are very sad to be moving from such a supportive and enriching place! The principal is very calm and happy person. It's a great environment for any child.

I LOVE Mountain Bay!! My son was in the Early Childhood Preschool. He had Ms. Obermeier and Ms.Beanie. They are two of the most compassionate teacher and aide, I have met. My son has special needs and I was worried that he would not adjust well to a school setting. He EXCELLED!! I know this was because of his teacher and aide in the classroom. His PT, Ms. Tiffany was amazing. His OT, Ms. Kathy, taught us some great techniques to use at home and his Speech Therapist, Ms. Jessa, did remarkable work with him. These women were warm, kind and patient with my son. They took the time to get to know him and his family. The kids were always doing fun little projects in school and my son always came home in a good mood. They have a wonderful open communication line with the parents. I was always in the loop with what was going on at school. So, if there are any parents out there with a special needs child that will be starting school and are nervous about sending them, have NO FEAR. This is a top-notch school.!!! Your child is in good, caring hands!! Love this school.

Was very excited to have my child go there. We took a tour and all, seemed like a good school. My child LOVED school before this teacher and now cries when it's time to go to school. My child has had tests done and right where a kid at that grade level should be at, at some things, even a little above:) However I've been getting notes home non stop, stating my child is naughty and doesn't pay attention and not doing good at her work.... I've tried talking with the teacher and hasn't been resolved. Pretty close to switching schools...

All three of my children have attended Mountain Bay since it opened. It has a fantastic staff of caring, attentive and supportive teachers. The principal does a superb job of getting to know his students and parents and provides an "open door" environment. I have a child in the special needs program and can't brag enough about the high quality of education and care my child receives. The special needs director has been outstanding to say the very least. I highly recommend Mountain Bay as it really does care about its students and community.
