Our three year old is immensely loved here, the teachers are all wonderful and encouraging, the facility is under new management and being run beautifully, and the difference we see in our son since starting is unbelievable. He is so happy. He practically leaps out of the car every morning and doesn't want to go home at the end of the day because he loves this home away from home so dearly. We see how proud he is of himself in the strides he's making learning here. To say the staff is becoming extended family is an understatement. We are forever grateful for this experience and will be so sad when it is time to move on to Kindergarten. Being a teacher, I am fortunate to receive a 10% discount on tuition which is so appreciated. After looking into multiple programs, the tuition cost with TLE is very fair, and worth every single penny in the way our son is so well cared for. We receive updates all day on an app to tell us what he is eating/doing/learning/playing, keeps us up to date on his potty training progress (which is going very well thanks to their consistency!), and the photos show how well engaged he is all day long. This is a transparency we were not afforded in our first daycare. I could say a million and more things, there are not enough words.

I am beyond happy at both my son and my niece attend this school…read more We came from a private daycare when they were just numbers to the corporate office. I told this school back in July with Ms. Chady, she walked me through every step of the way. Not only did she explain the curriculum but she also showed so much passion of teaching and the love of God. My son is in Ms. Brittany class alongside Ms. Ray and with the help of Ms.Ann. I cannot say how much love they give my son and my niece. They come home and they know the words of the song they are learning, they say prayer before eating, they not only know the alphabet but they associate words and pictures with each letter they are learning. Ms. Johnson the director is always there to answer any questions, she has this school are extremely organization. Anytime I have any question she is more than willing to answer me. I wish they did school for elementary grades because I would most definitely keep my son here.

There is a big difference when the principal and teachers teach because they have the Godly Passion to take part in the children's lives. Praise the Lord Jesus for MOBC! We pray and hope they will expand their ministries and open up Kindergarten classes in the future!

I spent a lot of money for this camp and stopped sending her because she was clearly scared of the people, Ms. Maureen and her assistant. I watched from my car the second day after I dropped her off and neither one of the teachers tried to help my daughter find a friend. She walked around sadly and I never saw her play. They said she "bounced back"after I brought her blanket and stuffed animal but it shouldnt take that to get a child to feel safe in a school. I was hesitant to put her in this camp because friends said when management changed the school lost the heart of what a kids school should be and now its all about money and I totally agree. This was the most disappointing experience.

I also like the teachers and like how the program is for the kids. What I do not like is the administration. Maybe when you pay more at other places it is for better administration as well. This place is not organized at all. When signing up, I had signed up both my sons in the summer and was told I would receive a week free for both. So when I put in my deposit I did not pay the second payment because it should have been covered by the "free week". I get a call saying you have to pay and when I asked about my free week they said that is for after they have been there for 3 months. Ok well then why didn't anyone tell me that?! Fine, so over 3 months go by and I was the one that had to remind them of it and at this time summer was over so one of my kids went back to his the elementary school and never go his free week. After a month or so I find out they have an app that I can use that a teacher told me about not the admin staff. Then they never told me about online payment either, I am the one that asked if they had one. Their online system sucks as well, it does not show how much needs to be paid or any balance information. I was told to pay a certain amount last October on the online system and have been since then. And now I was told that I have an overdue balance. How does that make sense and where is this overdue balance coming from? I decided to finally pull my son out and did not want to deal with them. So, I paid whatever they wanted me to and just left. I had many other issues with the admin staff on money and etc and I just got tired of it. I love the teachers there and the program especially since my son loved it too. But enough was enough, I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Maria Montessori would be rolling over in her grave if she knew the manner in which this school was…read moreimplementing her program and vision. Avoid this establishment at all costs. It has taken me quite a while to write this review, mostly because I've been avoiding reliving the horrible events that led up to it. My daughter was just over 2.5 years old when she was enrolled here in April 2022. As a pandemic kid, she had never been in any sort of daycare setting and did not have many opportunities to be in social or group settings until her first day at Cedar Lane. Nonetheless, she was (and remains) a highly sociable, sweet dispositioned and inquisitive little explorer who soaks up knowledge like a sponge. As first time parents, we were so excited to widen her world with a Montessori education, but Ceder Lane sullied the whole experience for us. Within the first two hours of drop-off, we got a call from an exasperated Ms. Pamela saying that our child was refusing to sit and listen, just wanted to play with toys, and was requiring more attention than the other kids. None of these things sounded developmentally abnormal to me, as it was her FIRST DAY away from home, and yet Ms. Pamela had the gall during that FIRST conversation to suggest we consider an Early Intervention Program for her. I immediately called our pediatrician who was flabbergasted by this suggestion. The Pediatrician said they recommend at least 3 weeks for a child to adjust to a new routine and environment and for any sort of recommendation to b made within 2 hours was completely out of pocket. We asked Cedar Lane to work with us by allowing her to come in for 1-2 hours a day for the first couple of weeks to get acclimated. We did this for a few days and noticed that our child's face was completely red and puffy each time we picked her up from crying. A few days later, we were called in for a meeting with Ms. Tabitha, the Director, who said our child can't self-regulate. I was taken aback by this assessment given the fact that no 2.5 year old can self-regulate, and teaching them to do so is the whole point of preschool programs at that age. Our child did not hit, bite, push or disrespect others personal space. The only thing she was doing "wrong" was wanting to explore the classroom during circle time and she was labeled as having a "problem" because of that! Mind you, this was still within the FIRST WEEK of her being in a new environment. Isn't discovery and independent exploration a main tenet of the Montessori method? During our meeting, we asked that they work with our daughter and develop a performance improvement plan, and at least give her the recommended amount of time from the Pediatrician of 3 weeks to adjust. Ms. Tabitha refused, and tried to hand us informational paperwork for a developmental psychiatrist. She kept reiterating that they can't make medical diagnosis but were at the same time diagnosing our child as needing a developmental psychiatrist. Our pediatrician thought this recommendation was ridiculous, after having closely evaluated her and never seen even a single marker or indication of any sort of developmental issue. We pulled our daughter out of Cedar Lane after a mere week of her being there for 1-2 hours a day only. We re-enrolled her somewhere else, where she has been for the last 2 years. Lo and behold, her new school has never once indicated that she has had any issue at all. Our parent-teacher conferences always include glowing assessments of her as an extraordinarily intelligent child, a leader in the classroom, academically advanced, sweet, funny, and a pleasure to be around. Can you imagine if we had taken Cedar-Lanes half-baked assessment to heart? In retrospect, I believe they labeled her as a problem because they are severely understaffed and under trained. They have the among the highest student-teacher ratios in the area. They probably just didn't have the resources to properly educate the children in their charge, and so culled the herd by axing out the least docile of the group. This is an institution that will shift blame from their own shortcomings onto CHILDREN who bear no responsibility for the schools own failures. I'd give zero stars if I could!
