My daughter started going to this school after she turned 2. Before she went to school, she was very shy, didn't speak much and was not potty trained. It has now been a year and she has transformed 180! She now talks non-stop! She has a mind of her own and asks about everything she sees. She is now also fully potty trained. She now knows her shapes and is working towards the alphabet and colors. And she only goes to school 3 times a week. For the first few months, I only had her there for half-day, 3 days a week. But I decided to make it 3 full days because she learns so much more. She also loves going to school! She'll ask me every night if she's going to school in the morning. And if I give her a choice of playing at home or going to school, she still chooses to go to school. I gave it 4 stars because I think the facility could use an update. But really, it's my opinion and it doesn't seem to mind the kids. The staff is very helpful, and very easy to talk to and ask questions about your child's development. And the tuition is much cheaper compared to other montessories. I really like this school and will enroll my other daughter as soon as she turns 2!
I've had a great experience with this school over the past four years that my child's been attending. He started this school exactly on his 2nd birthday and I know he's going to to miss this place bunches when he moves to 1st grade at public school this fall. His teachers and all the other staff too have always been so caring. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my son's early education. I would definitely recommend this school to all my family and friends, and anyone looking for a good school for their young child.
My child started at this school with a great teacher but after conflicts with administrations lack of support to the school I got my child out of there. If you are looking for a loving and educational start for your childs first years of education don't look here. This is a glorified daycare that charges too much and does not take care of teachers or children. This school abuses the name Montessori and has not right useing it as it does not practice the Montessori method. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL!
I'm mother of four and put my youngest in this school and have good experience so far. At first my daughter cried a lot and I almost pulled out to keep her home more, but the teacher said to still wait and try, now my daughter likes to go to school every day. The price is really cheap too compare to other places.
my two year old started here in september and so far i am really happy with this school. i feel very safe leaving my son here and his teachers take good care of him. my son isn't a good eater and his teachers helped me to find out which foods he likes and told me when he didnt' want to eat. they are very patient! everyone is very nice and friendly here.
My son has been going to this school for the past five years and we're sad to be moving. My son learned a lot and the teachers are very nice and helpful. My son was tested at his new school and his new teacher was suprised by how advanced he was. He might advance early to the next grade. We will miss this school and everyone there.
I took my daughter to this montessori school and the second day I took her out . I did not like the fact, that teachers do not commiunicate whit you at all . The first thing you see in the morning is that they are waching T.V. I ask for a refund and they said no . Plaese Do Not Take Your Child There.
This school is great. My daughter is working above grade level and loves school. The teachers really take time with the students and it shows in their performance.
The school maybe good a few years back but not recently. I havent heard my daughter learned any songs or dance. Usually she would chant a word here or there. The teacher always reading the same story. I never get the chance to ask the teacher how she's doing. My daughter was hurt twice in 6 weeks. Cannot get to talk to anyone in charge when school manager on vacation. No proper channel of organization.
The school is good. The leadership none. If you dont ask about your child the teachers never let you know how they are doing.. Every Expensive..If they take a computer class, extra fee, dance class extra fee, lunch extra fee. They are more concerened about the money..Very disorganized. There is no leadership from the principal..
