    I attended the open house and, at first, everything seemed amazing. The presentation by Nadine was…read morepolished and convincing, and it gave the impression of a warm, well-managed Montessori environment with strong values and attentive leadership. Unfortunately, that impression did not match our actual experience after enrollment, and we never saw that same level of involvement or quality again. I would strongly caution any parent considering Peregrine Montessori. My daughter attended from November 2022 to June, and our experience was extremely disappointing. While the initial sales pitch from Nadine sounded impressive-promising a high-quality Montessori environment and strong developmental support-the reality was very different. The biggest issue was the lack of leadership and accountability. Nadine was almost entirely absent throughout the year (I would estimate 90-95% of the time). It became clear that her focus was elsewhere, and the school was not being actively managed. Once you enroll, you rarely, if ever, see her again. The school presents itself as following Montessori principles, but in practice, the classroom did not reflect those standards. The teaching staff did not consistently demonstrate the methods or philosophy that were promised during enrollment. I also found the classroom environment to be more restrictive than expected. Some of the staff seemed to follow a more conservative and restrictive approach with the children, which did not align with the encouraging and expressive environment we were expecting for our child. Additionally, my daughter was questioned multiple times for not speaking Hindi, despite English being our primary language at home. This was both confusing and concerning for us as parents. Another concerning issue was that one of the teachers struggled to correctly pronounce my daughter's name for several months, despite it being a common English name. Even after my daughter expressed discomfort, there was little effort made to correct it until I had to step in and politely request that her name be pronounced properly. I believe this is a basic sign of respect that should not be overlooked. The food is good in quality, but the menu is repetitive-essentially the same meals every week-which quickly becomes monotonous for the children. Financially, this school is expensive, and unfortunately, we also experienced issues with outstanding payments that were never refunded. It felt like the primary focus of the school was on collecting fees rather than delivering quality care and education. I also found it frustrating that there was no clear option to leave a review on Google or other major platforms. As a parent, I believe transparency and open feedback are very important when choosing a school. The lack of visible options for parents to share their experiences is, in itself, concerning. Overall, I regret enrolling my child here. As a parent, I strongly encourage others to do intensive research before enrolling their child here. I wish I had looked deeper beyond the initial presentation.

    An incredible school that puts great care into the children's development. Miss Nadin is at the top…read moreof her field, and we believe that Peregrine is absolutely world class. We hope for many children to have the opportunity to go through this program. It is a beautiful school both aesthetically, and also to the core of their values and what they bring to the kids of our community.
