We are on our second year at Preschool at the Heights (PATH), after expensively dropping out of a…read moresimilar morning program that was an awful fit. We are so grateful to have found PATH. The people who run this school are awesome. Director Michelle is competent, positive, and flexible - that's a powerful triad. She somehow knows every kid's name and personality. The music teacher Mr. Gus is a talented performer with the patience of Job, and goes far beyond the usual itsy-bitsy-baby songs in his classes. The class teachers are dedicated and effective (a ton of them are former PATH parents). We've taken to calling the 1-yr-old class teachers "the Dream Team" because they're so good with the toddlers. You really get the impression that the people working there are doing so because they just like being there. Honestly, even the parents are a little different than other morning programs we've been to - it's more laidback and friendly, and there is more a sense of community. The whole vibe of the place has none of the competitive Image-Crafting Perfect-Hair Mom-Shaming I figured came standard at all morning programs. PATH has random family nights throughout the year just for families to come and hang out (instead of the usual semiannual high-pressure fundraiser). The only bad parts - their playground areas aren't as nice as those of some other morning programs, although they are good enough and they're slated for improvements. It's a smaller school, so there are fewer dedicated "specials" teachers. However they still fill a slate of Science, Spanish, and Music specials with lots of art and outside time.

Grow Montessori gave my son (Heir) a foundation I'm endlessly grateful for. Thank you to Tracey,…read morethe owner, for building something so intentional... and to Ms. Taren in the toddler program and Ms. Liz and Mrs. Savannah in primary. Each of them was instrumental in his development, and the community they foster is what truly sets this school apart. The proof: my son is now in pre-K elsewhere at a school he loves, and he still talks about his Grow teachers and friends and asks to see them. When I asked if he'd want to go back, he said he loves his new school but he really, really loves his Montessori school. This is a kid who, asked whether he'd rather go out with mommy or daddy, always says "both." He doesn't pick favorites. So that meant something. Thank you, Grow Montessori, for the lasting mark you left on our family.

My little guy and our family love Grow! He started back in March 2020 but was only there for…read moreliterally 9 days before COVID-19 turned our world upside down. During the time that the school was closed to in-person learning, it was decided that there would be a virtual learning option where packets would be available for pickup at the end of the week and all materials and lessons would be in the packet to help guide us clueless parents on what to do. There were bi-weekly zoom calls with my son's teacher, Ms. Jasmine, and I appreciated all of her guidance during that time and how easy it was to communicate with her. When the discussion started regarding whether or not the school would open for in-person learning, I loved that there was a townhall meeting for all parents/guardians to ask questions and voice our concerns. We received very detailed communication about how things would look when, and if, school reopened and this helped calm my fears a lot. Now that in-person learning has been back in session for more than a month and a half, I must say that I truly feel everyone has done a wonderful job keeping our little ones safe. The class sizes are super small (of which I absolutely love) and my son's teacher is just the sweetest and the best teacher I could ask for. This little 21-month-old is a ball of energy and she keeps him busyyyyy and updates us with things that he is doing in class and I never wonder whether or not he's okay because she is always reaching out letting my husband and I know what he's doing/has done in class. The skills that he has learned in this short period back has been amazing and being someone who loved her Montessori based education as a child, I am thrilled and sooooo thankful to have Grow Montessori. If you're looking for childcare that is literally going to help your child grow, and a staff that is truly compassionate, kind, devoted to the children they serve, this is the place for you.

My husband and I decided to enroll her in tutoring over the summer and also through the school year to give her the extra help she needed.

Also, her tutor, Larry, sends prompt emails after each session telling us what they went over and her understanding of the matter. I highly recommend Omega Learning in Douglasville, GA to any family looking give their child the little extra assistance in their education.

My son took a natural liking to Mr. Ross who is personable and a loving fatherly figure. The classrooms are clean, bright and airy and the tuition is reasonable. My only regret is not finding the Ross's sooner. I would have LOVED for my son to have started at Ross Learning Academy sooner. He's going into his last year of Pre-K4 and is reading, spelling and writing. Overall, RLA is a happy, welcoming space, with small class sizes, that focuses on early literacy for our little ones. I'd recommend 10 times over, oh and if you're near Morrow, check out the Ross's new business venture, Beyond BBQ, which is sure to be a hit, same as Ross Learning Academy.

My only…read moreissue is there experience with kids is not knowing a lot about crying and how to deal with a child who does cry!! True enough my son is my last child and definitely spoiled but everyday when I picked up my son it was always something!! He crying about this and that! I mean he's only 4 bday is in December so I mean you have to give a child time to adapt to the new surroundings! He was previously at his other school from 6 weeks until February 2023!! With them being new and just opened on 2/14/2023! I thought they could handle it but that was not the case! If your child is over 6 months and cry's don't bring them because they honestly can't handle that and I understand she wants the kids to be perfect because of the academy on the end but come on now!! Then showed me a video of my son crying without my consent and to me that was a red flag!! In the midst of a child crying you supposed to give them comfort not let them be in distress!! I say bring back the old school daycare teachers who understood the assignment!! I was always worried and concerned never at peace!! But they are very nice just not enough experience!

If I could give this review zero stars I absolutely would. If your child is advanced or doesnt fit…read morein SAE's standard or box steer clear from this school! Seriously, don't do it. We were new to Georgia when we first joined SAE. We were originally told our child would be placed in Pre-K 4 even though their birthday is after the September 1st cutoff. Imagine our surprise after they took our money and we signed a contract that they put our child in Pre-K 3. Their excuse was we need to see if they can adapt to the SAE way. Thats fair enough, but they never moved our child to Pre-K 4, even after they passed all of their assessments. Nonetheless, she had a good teacher and the teacher tested her and stated she definitely should be in Kindergarten and not Pre-K for the upcoming fall school year. This we already were aware of since we work with our children at home. We had a meeting with the SAE administration and they refused to move our child to Kindergarten. Mind you our child wouldn't be the only child who has been moved up and this is a private education system. We are paying for it so the reasons that were given weren't justifiable. They wanted us to try the Pre-K 4 program since its equivalent to public Kindergarten( their words not mines) and then evaluate the move to Kindergarten. That failed miserably as an incident took place with the pre-k 4 teachers that prompted our immediate removal of our child all together. "When we called the pre-k 3 teacher that we had the previous school year, she stated she was glad we were done with that place and although the incident is unfortunate I'm glad your child is no longer there". Those are very concerning words coming from a teacher/staff member. All in all it has been such a blessing in disguise! After leaving SAE, we weren't sure what direction to go in as far as childcare since we knew our child was too advanced for childcare center or daycare. So we looked into homeschooling and co ops. Prior to placement they tested our child and they tested on a 1st grade level! Here we are advocating for our child to be in kindergarten and we should have been advocating for 1st grade! Imagine if we would have stayed at SAE. We would be doing a disservice to our child as they would be in Pre-K 4 and not learning on the level they should be. Again if your child operates outside of the standard or on an advanced level do not send your child to SAE. Just for safety concerns alone, dont send your child here. Always ask your child how their day was and listen to them. Actively listen to them, had we not done so our child would still be here. Thank God our child spoke up!
