She made the transition to public school first grade with no issues. Our second child was able to attend for 3 years, ages 3-5. We had an incredible experience here and recommend the school to everyone we can. I have had a child enrolled at other area preschools (both Montessori and non-Montessori) and the quality of instruction, the wonderful true Montessori materials and classroom, and the respectful and joyful classroom environment make this school stand out from all the rest. The school is safe and clean. The teachers are trustworthy and get to know each child. The teachers are properly trained and dedicated to the Montessori method. There is so much consistency, calm, leading by example, respect, kindness, and fun because of the wonderful teachers. The classroom is clean and safe. The children are so happy at school and it was a privilege to get to observe the class deeply engaged in their work. The teachers also ensure daily outside play and healthy snacks. The children have close to a full hour of time where they prepare their eating area, and enjoy talking and eating without being rushed. They also clean up and put away their lunch time. Our 3 year old learned many "grace and courtesy" concepts at school that carried over to home life (walking quietly, carrying his plate, cleaning his area, saying a blessing/thanks). The communication between the teachers and parents is phenomenal. There is a great mix of incorporating art, music, outdoor exploration. There are usually a few special visitors (past examples include: firemen and fire truck visited the school, wildlife/biology professor visit, parents bringing farm animals for the children to interact with) and a group field trip. The children are all friends and there is a fair amount of diversity in the school population as well. I strongly encourage you to visit the school and speak with the director to answer any further questions you may have. This school is a community asset and we are so thankful our children were able to attend this school. This is the best Montessori school option in the area by far.

New Montessori school in Etown. I love my son going here. He is fully engaged and starting his love…read moreof learning. It is child focused and wonderful. The teachers are amazing and instantly made my boy comfortable. It was his first time being out of the home on his own without family and he had no issues. The school is based in a church but it is not religious based. Religion is not banned like it many schools but it is not their focus. Beautiful environment for learning, great structure and gentle guidance for the young mind. If you are not familiar with the Montessori learning techniques read up on it and you will instantly know that is the place you want you child to be!!! Highly recommend this school!!!!

I would have rated this as five stars except for the non-existent online presence for basic…read moreinformation. I gave blood yesterday and the staff was knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and personable. It was a thoroughly good experience. That said, it is only by chance that I donated yesterday. Everything online, except for an old newspaper article, said it was located somewhere else, and all references say that it is closed on Fridays. Some friends of mine also told me it was closed on Fridays, including one friend who donates every time he can. He travels more than an hour to do so because "the Elizabethtown, KY center is closed on the day (Friday) that he can do it". If I hadn't gone to the mall for something else (it's been over a year since I last went to the, mall) I wouldn't have known it was open. With the Red Cross makes a big deal about there being a critical blood shortage, their management should make sure that their contact information and operating hours are up to date... or fire the person responsible for doing it and hire someone who can.

Was told yes you do and our next opening is next Friday. I thought there was a dire need for blood and money donations after the tornadoes destroyed parts of Kentucky. I guess the Red Cross of Elizabethtown has more than they need.

I called the day before to schedule an appointment and I got an appointment for noon. When I…read morearrived theh checked me in and I waited for a few minutes before someone came to tell me the students were actually going to lunch and asked if I could come back at 1230. Weird, but ok. I told every person I spoke to there, from the phone call the day before to the lady that checked me in, that I'd finished radiation only a month before, that I had aome patchy spots on my scalp where my hair was growing back in one area and the hair that was growing back was really fragile, because I wanted them to be gentle. I was in the middle of telling this to my stylist when she interrupted me to ask if I had eczema. Rude in all aspects. I showed her a picture of the cut I wanted. She asked the length I wanted and I showed her, physically, how long I wanted my hair to be once cut (a little below my shoulders, to cover my surgical scar and the area I had radiation too, since I'm more prone to sunburns in that area now). She asked what I liked about it, and I was like, "Umm, the cut?" and she asked if I liked the texture of it. Yea, sure. I had to remind her three times that I'd had radiation recently and to please be gentle before she bothered asking what radiation was... I explained to her and her response was, "Well, I'm glad you didn't die." So that was...awkward... I wish I could post photos, but I ended up with a shoulder-length bob, which was not in any way what I asked for. I wanted it below my shoulders and a little shorted in the back, angling down in the front. I'm not even sure about why she asked if I liked the texture, because she sprayed some hairspray or something and that was the only texturizing she did. The more I think about it the more angry I am at myself that I tipped her for giving me a bob. Just be aware that, in my experience, if a student can't do what you're asking for, they'll just do whatever they can do, whether you like it or not. The one star is for the price.

Like I said, two people doing foils at the same time leads to unevenness.
