My son has only attended for two weeks, but so far we've been nothing but impressed!…read more About two months ago we reached out to schedule a meeting. Laurie told us all about the school and answered any questions. She gave us the opportunity to visit the classrooms and see how things run. My husband went to a Montessori school as a child, so he experienced a flood of happy memories. It was everything he dreamed of for our active little boy. We returned the next week with our little boy so he could join a class. The staff wanted to see how he fit in. Everything felt good, so we moved forward with enrollment. He's currently doing day care, but will do preschool this coming fall. Our plan is to do three full days a week (you can do full or half days, 3-5 days a week). To start the process of getting our son comfortable, they like to begin with five days. If possible, they like for one parent to stay with the child so they can leave early (probably a half day to start). This is allowing our son a smooth transition. Every child is different, so things can be adjusted depending on how they handle it. I look forward to posting again later once we've spent more time here and learn more. But we love this place so far!!

We've spoken to many to families who have had similar experiences to ours. Our children's…read moreexperience was wonderful until they reached 9-12. The teacher and assistant in 9-12 were consistently unkind and had erratic behaviors. Especially the assistant, she often shamed children for not knowing things and would yell at children in the hallway in front of parents. We ended up moving, which is unfortunate. They seem to have a wonderful middle school program with a coffee shop business. But it's not worth your child being berated daily for three years.

We LOVED DMS!!! Our little started at 2&1/2 (which was great for his development and social skills…read moreat that point in his life ). Where as traditional preschool would have made him wait an entire additional year before he could start. He learned SO MUCH in his four years at DMS. The teachers are so patient and loved our son like their own!! He learned so much more than just ABC's! He learned about the world and his space in it, how to be a kind friend, how to read and write, and math. And the best part was it was all at his pace when he was motivated to do it!! We loved the Montessori philosophy to "follow the child" while incorporating independent work and self-discovery! We would definitely recommend DMS to others!! We LOVED DMS!!!

This time last year Beavercreek Inspire Montessori not only left my (at the time) 5yr old…read moreunattended allowing him to leave the premises, but didn't even notice he went missing. It wasn't until a stranger found him along a busy 5 lane road did they realize he was missing from their supposed care. (The day of the incident the assistant director was unable to even provide documentation or even verbally communicate the school policy for proper child accountability!) While they have a charge of child neglect on their record, this for-profit school refused to inform any of the other parents of the incident. Unsurprisingly they have blocked me from their Facebook page so please spread the word and don't let this act of negligence continue to get swept under the rug (They only fired one of the two teachers responsible!! Sadly school video cameras revealed this second teacher was still not following proper procedure even after the incident and remained employed). All families who entrust their children to people at Beavercreek Inspire Montessori should know the quality of care, or lack their of, they are receiving. Here is a link to the state website showing the results of the investigation showing child endangerment (the child neglect claim was subsequently substantiated): http://childcaresearch.ohio.gov/pdf/000000200320_2016-08-09_COMPLAINT.pdf

When you bring these concerns up to the director, she is unable to do anything but give excuses. As a parent who pays so much in tuition for this location, I would expect you to understand how to address concerns and issues with your teachers behaviors especially when they come from many parents. Utilizing an anonymous parent survey would allow you to see the magnitude of dissatisfaction with Rachel.

I would highly recommend Montessori Kids Universe to families that are looking for a safe, compassionate, child-focused education facility for their kids.

Within the first two weeks of starting school at Effica I noticed an improvement in his work ethic at home. He was more willing to help out around the house.
