I wanted to take time to recognize some of your teachers. Mrs. Nissa is doing a great job. I can tell Shelby enjoys her time with her. Shelby is getting smarter by the day!! She is also learning manners, which is greatly appreciated and one of the reasons I chose this school was because the kids were calm and there was a peaceful environment. Mrs. Andrea does a great job. I could tell Shelby really enjoyed her time with her. She is always so cheerful and welcoming! Mrs. Melinda is also equally as welcoming and Shelby loves her! The kids are always calm when we get there, or singing! Shelby comes home and shows us all she's learned and practices rolling up blankets after she is through playing. It's adorable. At first, it was very difficult for me to find a place I felt had the level of excellence and care that my aunt had for Shelby, but now, as we look for a new home, we find ourselves only looking at homes that will accommodate her school in our commute. Thank you KAMA! Candy Stewart

At one point, the school had strong leadership because they had a certified Montessori director very dedicated to Montessori pedagogy; however, the owner and new director are not Montessori certified and it is obvious. The teachers do a good job overall, but were limited in what they could actually do based on the turnover following the dismissal of the last director. Sadly, it felt more like daycare, rather than traditional Montessori. The original teachers (all Montessori certified) that taught our child are gone. At this time, we would not recommend to families seriously considering a Montessori education.

I would like to thank you and Shelby s teachers for making Shelby s transition from in-home care to school as easy as possible for us. I love that for the most part, she doesn t cry when we drop her off and sometimes doesn t want to leave after school. This is all new to us and the fact that she has adapted so quickly speaks volume of the great team. C. Stewart

Our son has been so blessed to be a part of KAMA. He has made significant improvements in reading and math skills we like the on-site classes like Karate, TOTs and piano for kids. This is such a convenient option for us parents...we are happy these activities were taken care of during school day and we do not have to shunt them to another place for this the management has also been pro-active in showcasing their kid s skills. Many events are organized to meet the teacher s and show-case the talents of the kids. We love it! Ramani

It has been a delightful experience and I have nothing but great things to say about your school and the friendly staff. Emilie has learned so much in the past two years and that is all thanks to all the hard work your staff has done. We are going to miss the friendly staff and all the great friends my daughter gained throughout. Thank you for all you do! J. T.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
