Children of the Earth School

Apr 2nd, 2024

The best Montessori in the area. They have the most kind and caring teachers. I love sending my son here, and when it's time for him to go somewhere else I will truly be so sad. Mrs, Maria and Mrs, Alejandra are absolutely wonderful, they are so helpful and I appreciate them both so much. My son has been diagnosed with  Autism, and while I am on the waitlist for many nearby aba centers the team is able and willing to still accommodate my son. I am so glad I stumbled upon this place. I would recommend this place to anyone!

If I could give a rating of 0 stars I would! That option is not allowed, so 1 star it is. My girlfriend gave verbal consent over 6 months ago for me to be able to pick up her now 4 year old daughter from "Children of the Earth". She asked that I be put on the pick up list. Thinking that everything was fine, I attempted to pick up the child on 3/15/2022 but not before calling first to make sure she was even there because she had spent a few days with her "grandmother". My girlfriend has full custody of her daughter and they both live with me. Grandma feels like I'm taking away her time with the child and has had many conflicting arguments with me in the past for no legitimate reason. Ms. Alejandra answered my call stating that the child was in fact at school and that she would be calling the grandmother to inform her that I called. I politely stated that there's no need for that since the biological mother is the one who told me to pick her up. Ms. Alejandra then stated that she had a lengthy conversation the day before with the grandmother and that everything must be reported to her in regards to the child. I asked her if there was an order by a judge giving her this power and that's when Ms. Alejandra said I was giving attitude and that she would be calling the police. I asked what crime did she suspect me of committing to even mention the police and she hung up on me. I proceeded to the school to pick up the child like the biological mother had told me to do so. I recorded my vehicle entering the parking lot, as well as myself entering the school. Ms. Alejandra was very rude and told me I had to exit the building and that she had called the police. After exiting the building I stopped recording and proceeded to call the police as well. I began recording once police personnel arrived. She insisted on speaking to the officer before me. I explained to the officer that the school was given verbal consent by the biological mother of the child months ago stating I could drop the child off and pick her up. I never had an issues until this day. Ms. Alejandra did say that the biological mother did give verbal consent before. I asked when was it revoked and by whom. No answer. Of course the grandmother and her new husband arrived on scene and immediately removed the child from the school and put her inside one of their vehicles since they decided to drive in separate vehicles. The husband was getting very nasty with me saying that he wants me to give him the child's belongings and that why was I even trying to pick up the child from the school because she's not biologically mine. The grandmother then went up to the officer stating that she's on the pick up list ONLY and that I was not allowed to pick up the child. Ms. Alejandra came back up to the officer with a book showing him some sort of document that didn't have my name on it to pick up the child. Apparently they never added me as a person who could pick up this child, even though I had already been doing so for over 6 months with no issues! The grandmother was yelling at me to shut up and telling me I was a nobody, and was just very verbally abusive. The husband of the grandmother got really close to me wanting to cause physical harm to where the officer had to ask him to step away from where I was standing. And yet that's the type of person this school was willing to allow this child to leave with? I had not said one bad word to these people nor did I ever raise my voice. Videos will be uploaded to YouTube!
