They answered all of my question and even let us see a snake up close and personal. I would love to come back to take the tour. It was storming outside so they cancelled...

After working out details on dates/times and sending in our deposit by the date required, we were told that another troop had reserved the spot. After inquiring further, they realized that we are the troop that had already reserved the spot.

There was a huge lack of communication and Linda was very rude. Don't waste your time with this place

Not a real Montessori school, demonstrates blatant disregard for student well-being. Your money…read morewon't go towards your child's education here. We withdrew after 7 weeks. Where to start... When my older son was so riddled with anxiety one day he refused to get out of the car at drop-off I knew I had to spend some time in the classrooms to see first-hand what was going on. Up until this point we had heard stories from the kids, were suspicious of the lack of work being done, and had already had a meeting with the headmaster over a separate safety issue that was going on at school. What I found when I visited the classrooms was virtually no academic work being done, the core components of a Montessori program not being delivered, and a hazardously frigid cold building. HAZARDOUS SCHOOL BUILDING. At $17k+ tuition, you'd think a school would have basic necessities like heat. I've attached a photo of the thermostat from inside my 2nd graders classroom on the day we pulled him out of this place. 52 degrees in the 3rd week of October. I was told it was "too early" to turn on the heat. See attached violation from the City of Pontiac building department for no heat and not maintaining a temperature of 68 degrees. This citation was a week after we left. Let that sink in that another week went by before they corrected the issue of freezing cold classrooms. FALSE CLAIMS TO BE A MONTESSORI PROGRAM. This school claims to be "fully accredited" and we were told (in writing) that they were a member of AMS (The American Montessori Society), yet when I verified their membership status (see attached letter from AMS) I found out they haven't even been members since 2020. NO INDIVIDUALIZED OR CHILD LED LEARNING (i.e. not Montessori). Kids had same lessons assigned. The Upper Elementary and Middle School are grouped together under the same lead teacher (we were not told this when we signed up). Montessori should have a 3 year age range, not 5. I observed my 4th grader and my 7th grader working on the same materials, and that work was way below even the 4th grade level. The teacher (Ms. Carey) admitted to giving my 7th grader the wrong math and science work for the previous 7 weeks. Ms. Carey admitted that our kids at 7 weeks into the program did not have the materials or the adult support to work on anything beyond what was setup for the classroom for the start of the school year. CHAOTIC STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT. A Montessori learning environment is supposed to provide a peaceful and quiet environment where students can work uninterrupted for long periods of time. This environment was so chaotic and full of constant interruptions (including flying sharp objects being thrown across the room and other safety issues) that my kids were nervous wrecks. My older son's friend was hit in the face with a pair of scissors that someone threw. DOCUMENTED LEARNING LOSS. In the 7 weeks we attended this school, my kids went from having great grades and high scores on their academic testing from the end of the previous school year in Math, to failing the math placement tests for the school they attended last year. We now are paying for weekly private tutoring to get caught up. This is all well documented.

So I heard all of these great things about Summer Impressions and was so excited to send my 4.5 yr…read moreold there. We signed her up for all 3 sessions this summer. Half way through the summer I noticed my daughter didn't want to go. I asked her if the counselor's played with her at camp and her response was "No their job is to watch us and keep us safe" no way a 4.5 year old would come up with those words on her own. She also wouldn't go in the pool (she LOVES swimming). I asked her if any of the adults would swim with the kids and she said no. Now I'm not sure if that part is actually true but I could tell she hated being there. One day I came to pick her up from camp at 4pm and all of the counselor's were sitting in a pow wow looking at cell phones. I told them a was there to pick up my daughter and one stood up and scanned the playground for what seemed to be way too long. I had to point her out so they would go get her. I decided after taking with other parents and getting their feelings about it I would just pull my daughter from the camp. I didn't tell anyone at the camp I was doing so. I got a call 3 weeks later from the office telling me they just ran my credit card for 3rd session and it got declined. I told her I thought it was really interesting that they called me 3 WEEKS after I had pulled my daughter to tell me they could t get their money yet NO ONE at the camp bothered to call those entire 3 weeks to ask me where my daughter was and if she was okay. NOPE they just wondered where their money was. NEVER going back to this place. They care about numbers and numbers only. Not to mention the person that would come get her from the car every morning was LESS than enthusiastic to be there, seemed very aloof and didn't know my daughter's name after 1.5 months. Bye Summer Impressions.

They don't have much for competition in the area, so there's zero incentive for them to make improvements. It's good enough for my toddler, but I always cringe about coming here. It is what it is.

The owners need to set a better example by getting their place in order. *edited to show that the employee cleaned up the tampon and dirty area. This place needs a PROFESSIONAL DEEP CLEANING. Ownership needs to open their wallet and take care of their facilities. This is not a cleaning job that employees who are there to manage operations can do, nor should they be expected to.

Or you can pass that and take additional trails throughout greater Davison or to the free Davison Dog Park. This is definitely worth a day to explore!
