Community Montessori School

Our daughter attended this school from a Toddler through K, and we have been beyond happy at this school. As the other reviewer stated, a child learns a lesson and once they know it they can go back to the lesson at any time. This isn't a Community Montessori School rule, but a Montessori teaching style. This worked out great and taught our daughter the basics of math and other subjects. This is one of a few Montessori schools that have their own building and many staff members. The school does ask for parents to help out when they can (yard work, painting) being a non for profit I'm sure they do this to keep prices down and for us it was great to socialize with the staff and other parents. Not sure whats wrong with that, unless you just like dropping off your child and picking them up and doing nothing else. I do disagree that any of the classrooms are 30+ students, our daughters room was only 21 and she had the largest classroom, and she did attend during the time of the below rule. My advise, go and visit the school and see for yourself. Our family would recommend this with two thumbs up!

We enrolled our childin this school and the strict discipline of montessori principles combined with the dictatorship style of leadership by the school's administrator made us pull our student out. The montessori way is admirable but this school takes it to the extreme only allowing students to use the "works" in which they have had a lesson. If a child expresses interest in other itesm in the room, the student is directed back to the "work" in which they must "master". Our student was bored and therefore not at his full potential. Given more freedom and more love, our student is not thriving at a top school here in Indiana. The teachers "ok", but overwhlemed wtih upwards of 30+ kids per classroom. The barely notice if your child is progressing or not. Our child had a terrible rash and none of the teachers even noticed. The tuition is not much but you get what you pay for. The administration is constantly asking for donations of parent time and money. If they would raise the tuition and open up another classroom, the children would have more oversight. In all, the quality of the leadership is so poor, that I would NOT recommend this school.
