We've sent all three of our kids to Busy Bees and couldn't be happier with that decision. The Montessori instruction fosters independence and confidence in kids. People are constantly amazed at the things my kids can do -- like putting on their coats, feeding themselves, focusing on tasks, etc. -- at a young age. We currently work with Elda and Gisel in the Eggs classroom, and these two teachers and their aides could not be more devoted to the children they work with. They clearly love each child, and know them very, very well. I also appreciate Busy Bees' willingness to communicate and partner with parents. As much as Busy Bees has been instructive for my kids, I've also learned a lot from the Montessori method they employ and the caring, fantastic staff they hire. We are so grateful for this wonderful little school!

I was very excited that I found this school and there was an opening that aligned with our timing as well as the Montessori approach to education. This was our first experience in a classroom setting and our nerves were high. Not only was the transition smooth for my child, but it was also exceptional for the parents. There were a few hiccups in on-boarding, likely due to the extra stress and situation of COVID, but everything was easily fixed and approached with grace. The infant teacher, Miss Ivette, is warm, kind, and responsive. The head of the school, Miss Natasha, is fast to respond, insightful, and helpful. All teachers have been very open to discussing anything: sleeping, eating, learning, etc., and working together on solutions. My child has been at the school for four months and transitioned into the toddler room this past month. We're pleased with the care, the growth we've seen and look forward to becoming a part of the school community.

This review is NOT based on the education received at MAMG or any of the teachers. It is solely…read morebased on the experience of inquiring about the school and interacting w/ the site director. I called MAMG to schedule a tour and gather information. The lady I spoke with was so dry and seemed uninterested. Regardless, I scheduled a tour as maybe she was having a bad day and I realize that not everyone can be cheery all the time. :) The tour went well, and I made sure it was scheduled w/ another person. She was friendly and kind. I asked this lady for a packet or folder of information and she was surprised that the first lady I spoke with never emailed it to me. She took down my email address and said she would request that lady to send it to me. Guess what? I never received it! I just think that is horrible practice. I have enrolled my daughter elsewhere. But, I thought the business owner/manager should know about the incompetence of the person I dealt with. I am happy to speak further about it...as I don't want to call out this individual on a public platform.

When that time came I begun searching for the right Montessori school. I was willing to travel more if I have to, just wanted to find a good one. I visited every Montessori school in 10 miles radius from my home and I can't be more happier with The Grove Montessori School. I'm writing this review with tears in my eyes, I can't believe my little baby grew up and time past so fast-he graduated kindergarten and now he is continuing his educational journey. We are missing The Grove Montessori so much!! The school is amazing, the teachers are awesome, every single thing in the school environment is touching you in a peaceful and a calm way. My son enjoyed every single day spend there. When I had to chose his elementary school I walked around many public and private schools, and there is nothing to compare to The Grove Montessori environment. I feel so fortunate, that I found The Grove Montessori, my son received a wonderful training. The owners of the school carefully choose their stuff and everyone is very knowledgeable, dedicated, passionate, giving the best possible care for the little ones. The kids get prepared really well. My son became very social and independent, he is completely ready for first grade, he can read, he knows so many things and when he got tested at his new school they told me that his math level is for second grader. For which I'm giving all the credit to the great program at The Grove Montessori and especially to the great teachers, who were preparing him with love and patience every single day. I really appreciate their hard work and admire their dedication. If you are on a search for quality educational daycare this is the right one!!!

After touring several schools, DMS stood out to us. We received some wonderful recommendations from family and friends but the clean and intimate environment, Montessori education, nut-free facility, and its close proximity to our home were instrumental in our decision to go with DMS. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff made us feel supported and, most importantly, our daughter was excited to go to school. They helped guide us as parents while creating an environment where she could truly thrive. Several years later, we have a preschool graduate who has now started kindergarten, and we are so grateful for the role Devonshire played in helping her become the confident, independent, kind little girl she is today. We are especially thankful to her teachers, the staff, and Mrs. Ioana for pouring so much love, patience, and encouragement into her and helping her find her voice and confidence. Leaving Devonshire was bittersweet, but we will always be grateful for the people and community that played such a special role in our daughter's early years. Thank you for being such an important part of our family's journey!

From the very beginning, the director and teachers have gone above and beyond to make sure our family feels supported--not just welcomed, but truly understood. The director has been incredibly proactive and compassionate, taking time to meet, communicate, and problem-solve with us. What has meant the most is how collaborative the school has been with our children's interventionists. The teachers have welcomed outside providers, implemented recommended strategies, and consistently followed through with accommodations to help my children succeed in the classroom environment. Instead of viewing extra supports as a challenge, they've treated them as an opportunity to better understand and support my children as individuals. The staff regularly communicates updates, shares observations, and works as a team to ensure consistency between school and outside services. That level of dedication is rare and deeply appreciated. Because of this partnership, we've seen tremendous growth--academically, socially, and emotionally. My children feel safe, supported, and capable. As a parent, I feel heard and valued. Their commitment to collaboration, inclusion, and individualized care truly sets them apart.
