Esta escuela es sin duda la mejor escuela Montessori para nuestros hijos…read more Desde el momento que entré a esta escuela pude sentir algo muy positivo y especial. Fue una conexión instantánea donde pude sentir que mis hijos estarían en buenas manos. Hay tantas cosas buenas por decir de esta escuela. Empezamos por la directora las Sra Diana, ella está haciendo un excelente trabajo en esta escuela, desde la selección de los maestros y ayudantes en general, la programación, organización, y estrategias de educación adecuada, alimentación etc. Desde le primer momento que conocimos a la Sra Diana, ella fue muy amigable, nos dió un recorrido por toda la escuela, nos presentó a la gran mayoría de sus maestras y personal asistente, incluyendo al personal que cuida a los bebés estas Maestras son muy dulces y amorosas, inclusive días después conocimos a la hermosa y cariñosa persona que cuida de la cocina. La Sra Diana desde el primer momento respondió, todas y cada una de nuestras preguntas, las cuales fueron muchas, ella tuvo esta calma de aún sin saber que eligiéramos su escuela ella respondió con mucho cariño cada una de estas preguntas. Que placer es poder conocer a personas como ella. Sin duda alguna la Sra Diana ha creado un equipo muy bueno, se puede ver que cada maestra, asistentes y personal en general disfruta su trabajo y trabajar en este hermoso lugar. La maestra de mis niños la Srta Feith y su asistente la Srta Mia. Ellas están haciendo cosas muy bien para todos los niños de este salón, ellas son muy amorosas, amables, amigables, se puede ver estos niños son felices allí, mis hijos solo tienen un mes y medio de estar asistiendo a esta escuela y cada mañana para las dos últimas semanas ellos entran a la escuela y van corriendo para su salón, se puede ver su entusiasmo en sus hermosos rostros, para ellos es un lugar divertido, no más lágrimas como vimos en las dos primeras escuelas de guardería donde estuvieron, a pesar de ser "escuelas" en realidad eran más que todo una guardería. Y lo más importante, mis niños están aprendiendo bastante, hemos notado un gran cambio, ellos ahora hablan más, y son más independientes, y conocen muchas más cosas. Hemos sido testigo de su programa de educación, tienes muchas actividades diarias, adicional a esto hay una madre de familia que pasa a los salones y les lee a los niños unos libros, esta Sra que lee estos libros es tan dulce y tuve la oportunidad de asistir a una de sus lecturas y yo disfrute tanto su lectura que literal sentí ganas de regresar a la escuela, cuando ella está leyendo tiene la habilidad de hacer los cuentos tan reales que tu puedes vivirlos. También cada semana tienen un hora de lectura donde los padres pueden asistir y compartir con sus hijos y educadores de este evento, sin duda tiene cosas excelentes y muchas actividades variadas. Eliminando así tener una rutina aburrida. Esta escuela no es solo una escuela Montessori, es una gran familia. Todo el personal cuidan de los niños aún si no son sus maestras directas, están al pendiente de todos los niños. También estamos muy felices con la Sra Teresa, ella es una de las maestra del próximo grado donde mis niños asistieron en el futuro, la Sra Teresa, es un amor de persona, siempre está atenta de todo y al pendiente de que todo esté bien, ella es muy amigable y sociable, y tienen mucho amor para los niños. Me encanta que los niños están en un lugar con tantas actividades y muy importante tienen acceso a diferentes áreas de la escuela, por ejemplo en la mañana salen al patio trasero donde tienen cosas divertidas para los niños jugar al aire libre, luego tienen la opción de usar un gimnasio donde los niños juegan con diferentes juguetes como pelotas grande, legos y carritos y libros muchas cosas más, en este lugar también imparten clases hasta de música. También tienen un área que es un teatro, usado para diversas presentaciones y lecturas. y hay un comedor donde los niños suelen tomar sus comidas y snacks. En si los niños pueden estar en diferentes áreas, evitando así la rutina de estar casi todo el día en 4 paredes. Hasta los horarios de la comidas son buenos, el desayuno a las 9 am, lo cual es perfecto porque los niños en especial los pequeños despiertan algo tarde y tienen la opción de compartir el desayuno con sus compañeros en el aula, y luego tiene snaks y luego su almuerzo, luego otro snack y la cena la toman en casa, lo cual es perfecto. Wao, la verdad yo estoy tan feliz de haber encontrado este hermoso lugar. y estoy tan feliz de ver a mis hijos ser felices y crecer en esta espectacular escuela. Quiero felicitar a la Sra Diana y a todo su personal, gracias por hacer que esta escuela funcione tan bien, gracias por cuidar de nuestros pequeños con tanto amor. Dios les siga bendiciendo infinitamente, están haciendo un excelente trabajo. Mil gracias.

My son started first and just grew so confident and learned so many things from this school. My daughter started after and she is getting this blossoming personality and just lights up when she sees her teachers. The owners and front office staff are the best humans and are willing to work with you. The best communication. This will always be the "the one that got away". Wish I could bring this school with me in my move. I want thank everyone at Klein-Spring Montessori for every single minute. You have been one family to me and we will miss you.

Disappointed to say the least! Just like everyone else, I saw all twenty positive reviews and was…read moreexcited to take my 2 year old , mind you I was FULLY transparent with the staff that this is his first experience with ANY form of childcare and that he is an only child who has hardly ever been around his peers. The school does what they call "transition days" I was explained it was 2 hours long for 2 days. Day 1, I take him and as expected we are both anxious I was worried the whole time expecting my son was high stressed, to my surprise I picked him up an hour later as instructed, and he was playing with the toys and engaging with his teacher, not crying not crying or fussing. Sandy, the owner (beware) explained that she was concerned and used verbiage like "I'm not sure if he's capable..." in reference to my child adapting socially. He is two and as they explained he is already ahead of their curriculum but we have struggled with the social aspect. She then implied to that ny two year old may have ASD or ADHD based on a single hour long interaction because he wasn't responding to His name for her. After ONE time around his for less than 2 hours. She said she didn't know if it would be a good fit after that 1 time. However, She suggested we try him in the class for two year old rather than the 3 year old Class he was in so he didn't regress. Her verbiage and response to My toddler naturally rubbed me the wrong way so I shopped around and prayed on it. I decided to entertain her theory of the toddler 2 class despite her obvious frustrations, since the directors were not the teachers. After taking him for the 2nd time I was immediately greeted with an eerie smile showing their clear discomfort that I was back with my toddler. She told me he couldn't eat the breakfast I brought although their rules are to provide their meals she wouldn't let me say bye and the later told me it won't be a good fit based on atom of contradicting statements. Just like most parents my baby is my world to be mistreated or given up on after a max of 2 hours total is disheartening. All children are not accustomed to childcare or exposed to other children. The behavior for Middle Aged women who are running a facility for out kids was disgusting. I want my son to be in a nurturing environment where he is given grace and patience rather than one of hostility and hopelessness for his future.

We have had our child in the infant program since she was about two months old. As first-time…read moreparents, we were nervous, but the Principal was very experienced and knowledgeable. She has had that school for almost 40 years and has stuck to tried and tested methods (and not fads) when it comes to daycare and Montessori. The staff was very responsive and gave each child a lot of attention. They do not crowd kids into rooms and simply put on tv. They do real activities and send reports home daily. The building is beautiful with lovely night sky murals on the ceiling in the front. They have a theater, performing arts venue, science lab, and many other additions. The playground is unique due to the big plot of land and they have a veggie garden for the kids. They really are big on accountability and growth. Our child has a solid moral compass, curiosity, confidence, and good character: all things that the school strives to inculcate. I saw children there that were the children of parents who went to Spellwell themselves years earlier. That is a testament to the impact a well-run school can have on an individual and broader society. Honors kids from high school come back and visit. The staff looks like a close-knit team and the principal has vision. Wonderful place

We are always greeted by more than one staffer on our way in and out of the building, usually referring to my son by name.

I hope no other parents or child goes through what we dealt with, and if you are, don't feel bad as you're not alone, this is their system of work at this location. That's all folks

This year is a new principal, Ms. Cathy Jacobs is ridiculous! She offered me absolutely zero empathy or apology for any inconvenience to my circumstance. She simply repeated herself 3 times, as if I'm stupid or hard of hearing. I have enjoyed visiting with my children's teachers, peers, and most importantly my child at the end of the year holiday party. Apparently, there's a hard copy of a "News Letter" that I was suppose to receive and did NOT. I was suppose to get an email but got an email 2 day before the said event and the slots were full, when I sent 2 notes to the teacher 2 weeks prior to the event. My daughter said the teacher would email me and did not receive anything. This is not the first time that the lack of organization and communication has kept me from enjoying some time with my child. Oh and by the way, my email has not changed in 10 years! I am extremely dissatisfied with the principal her apparent lack of basic sense of humanity!
