With two children enrolled, we've experienced every early childhood level (infant, toddler, and primary) and have consistently had positive experiences. The teachers are exceptional - they truly know each child, honoring their strengths and learning styles while fostering respect and independence in the Montessori tradition. They also partner closely with parents to create a strong, supportive environment. When our son was showing signs of a possible stutter, we worked collaboratively with his teacher and administration to have him evaluated. As his parents, we were ultimately empowered to make the final decision that we thought was best for him. MANH invests heavily in resources and specialists, such as speech therapists, for the children at all age levels. Montessori curriculum is also just incredible overall. Children in Primary (3-6) are learning foundational math, geography, and life skills through joyful, play-based exploration. At age four, our son can name all the continents and can explain early math concepts, as can many of his classmates. There is also an emphasis on social development, helping children grow as caring, respectful members of a community. As a small school, the administration is deeply involved in the daily experience of students and families. Like many educational institutions, there are areas of opportunity such as tuition cost, effective communication, and change management. That said, we've consistently seen the administration lead with genuine care, always keeping the children's best interest at the center of decisions. Whenever our family has raised concerns, they've been met with openness, respect, and thoughtful consideration. While not every outcome aligns with our preferences, we've always felt welcomed to share feedback and be part of a collaborative, respectful dialogue. MANH is a school where children are truly seen, supported, and encouraged. Over three years, we've watched ours grow in confidence, curiosity, and compassion. We're so grateful to be part of this community and can't imagine a better foundation for our kids.

Awful experience, stay away. The head of school pushes her controversial ideologies and implements…read morethem in the school's curriculum as much as she can. Parents cannot opt out and have no say in their children's education. They will steal your deposit! Extremely high turnover for teachers, staff in general. In the last few years the school has lost more than one of their main teachers each year. Only two good ones remain. Unstable environment and constantly changing plans/layouts. They come up with new ideas each year, test them out, then realize these ideas don't work, change again, etc. Very disruptive for the students to be in such a constantly changing environment. Controversial ideologies are implemented in the curriculum and parents are not given a choice to opt out. If the parents decide to pull their children due to the controversial curriculum, the school steals their $1500 deposit. Families have to pay a $450 "field trip" fee during enrollment for the next school year. During the school year, they cancel field trips left and right , basically stealing the money that the families paid for the field trips in advance. Refunds are never offered. They "charge" for certain field trips for example the Shedd Aquarium and then end up taking the students on a "Illinois resident free day" to the Shedd, which does not cost the school anything, except for the bus fee. They charged families for an overnight field trip to one of the museums ($85) and notified parents later that the museum was under construction and they could not attend the field trip. Nobody ever got their money back! Instead they hosted a "sleepover " at the school to compensate. The school is run by an emotionally unstable Head Of School, with an enormous ego, who is not interested in any feedback, constructive criticism.

Here's why: Mrs. Wiklund and Mrs. Aronoff are top notch teachers (this comes from a very picky teacher mom) who treat the kids with love and respect, but also have clear expectations for behavior and procedures.

There's a perfect balance of free choice time and structured learning activities. Your child will be ready for kindergarten after spending time with these pros. They also offer a couple of field trips and speakers visit the classroom often. The teacher/student ratio is also amazing! Creative Beginnings takes the cake on Schaumburg preschools.
