My favorite part of this school is seeing the different age groups working with and learning from each other. I can feel at ease knowing my active son has flexibility where he does his work. Because of this, I saw his love for learning grow quickly. He started wanting to sound out words and learning place value at age 3. The community at this school is unlike any other - we're diverse in our backgrounds but all completely appreciate the independence and unity us and our children all feel at this school. Ms. Maria goes above and beyond for her students and families. The biggest blessing we've experienced for our kids' education is hands down, Montessori Villa.

The teachers hold steady to Maria Montessori's philosophy. All three of my children thrived there.read more

All around the best environment for a child to blossom. They love your family the day you step in…read more We are having to leave the school because of a move and I'm crying (last day today) I could not have asked for better teachers. 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.

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.

The emails you speak of were always…read morein response to you stating "maybe we aren't the right place for you" when we brought up a concern. I was naive and felt like I had to make sure you weren't upset with us when I voiced a concern. I felt like I constantly had to reassure you that we appreciate your school because you would write back lengthy emotional emails when we would simply ask about something our child said happened. My husband even called a meeting with you to address this with you last year, and ask you to stop threatening us to leave each time we asked about a concern. Yes we were very happy with the Grove and Ms Claudia and Ms Eddy, until the pattern of failure to address the misbehavior became undeniable and my child was choked in Ms Marisol's class and left with a bruise and scratches. The more that happened and wasn't addressed, the more displeased we became. The first year at the grove was amazing, and MsEddy and Ms Claudia treated our first son with respect and guidance and he loved it. He loved it until the school continued to fail to address this other child containing to hurt and threaten my child's safety. ALL of which were acknowledged by you (once I asked what happened) and then minimized. Maybe your teachers need more support and staff to help supervise the classrooms, which have different spaces and are not open concept. The students cannot all be supervised by 1 teacher while the other one is preparing snack or changing diapers. What I asked of the school before you terminated us, was to evaluate this other child's disruption to the classroom. Our request was to know what actions happen when a child continues to cause bodily harm to another. Your response was that these are norm behaviors of children, which I disagree with completely. It is not normal for the same Child over the course of 1.5 years to touch my child's penis, bite him, push and pull him, grab toys from him daily, and eventually choke him and leave scratches. The word expulsion never came out in any of my emails with the school so before you call my facts libelous, please check yours. Your handbook that states an "open door policy" is not honored by you. In an email in January 2021 after we asked to do a visit to meet Ms Nayely since she was new you stated "Unfortunately, we do not plan to have parent classroom observations. They disrupt the routine and send the message that there is a lack of trust between home and school. Having been here since last year, I assume you are very comfortable with Ms. Eddy's leadership in the Toddler classroom and have full faith in her ability to guide her students and mentor her new assistant. I welcome and appreciate parent feedback, but I feel it is my responsibility to observe the classrooms and make necessary changes based on the information provided." Clearly you don't observe well enough if you cannot take actions to ensure proper supervision of the younger classrooms.

We chose Elements after touring four others because we fell in love with the place despite being a 20-25 min drive. Our kids were enrolled in the infant room and in Transitional1. They thrived and grew leaps and bounds under the care of their amazing teachers! Special shout outs to Ms. Eileen, Ms. Desiree, Ms. Mary, Ms. Jada, Ms Aminah and Ms. Alexa. They kept us well informed and updated us through the app or personally at the end of the day. Always looked forward to dropping and picking them up because the staff was very welcoming it felt like family. Unfortunately after almost a year, the commute had taken a toll on us to shuttle our kids back and forth on a daily basis, especially during rush hour so we made the hard decision to move them out after they graduated from their current classes. We will remember all the great teachers and staff that took care of our babies as if they were their own. Nothing compares to the kind of teachers at Elements. We truly felt that they were loved and cared for by not just their teachers but all the staff. Elements has definitely set the standard high for quality early childhood education that follow montessori principles.

Parents, please be warned -- this daycare is unsafe and untrustworthy. They lie about incidents,…read morefail to provide required reports, and ignore repeated biting problems. Even worse, they used my child's photo in advertising without permission, despite signed documentation stating otherwise. This place has no integrity or accountability. If you've experienced similar issues, document everything and file a complaint with the state licensing office so there's a record of their behavior. No parent should have to deal with this level of dishonesty and disregard for a child's safety or privacy. Avoid this daycare AT ALL COSTS.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm writing this review because I feel…read moreunheard and unseen by the director of this facility. I came into BSM needing next-day child care as we were new to the area, and I was unaware that there are a lot more Montessori schools to choose from. I was sent a welcome packet with a set of prices and a "100% Happy Family Money Back Guarantee". When I got there the very next day, the prices had went up. The building seemed sanitary and I liked that the classrooms were nut-free but the outside play area was ONE old plastic, unkept sunburned play set next to a sewage drain and a small concrete sidewalk. There were a few picnics tables on the other side of the field - that's it. I was unimpressed but we are a Montessori household and I wanted child care to be the same. I withdrew my child after ONE DAY, and put her in a different Montessori school in the area that had 4 different play areas for each age group, ample space for riding around and playing with different set ups. I reached out for some sort of reimbursement with an offer to compensate for the 1 day via email and voicemail, never got a response. Long story short, this business is determined to keep $700+ of my money for 1 day -- Jayden has been very condescending and the director is harder to reach than the president. It's flat out wrong to not prorate or refund a customer for changing their mind after 1 DAY!! And it's bad business to not communicate and keep such a substantial amount of money for doing incomplete work. Contract or not, no parent should be forced to complete 30 days of childcare if they are unhappy after 1 day - 100% Happy Family Money Back Guarantee is completely false advertising. *****ADDED NOTE: Parents beware, this school will go to the furthest length to deceive and exploit your money. How could you deceive AND PAY a daycare $700+ to watch your child? A STORM DRAIN in a play area for 1 year olds is a HAZARD. The director was completely unwilling to cooperate before writing this review and offered a partial refund to remove it -- now their claim is defamation after ignoring and denying any communication about reimbursement. They are money hungry and could care less about mothers who have genuine concerns about their child's safety. ALL ACCUSATIONS ARE VALID and we will see whoever is hiding behind BMS IN COURT!!

Every single day, they take the time to share how my son is doing. He came from another country, but now he's learning English so fast -- he can count, name colors, and even sings songs at home that he picked up at school. One of my favorite moments is every morning: as soon as we arrive, my son lets go of my hand and runs straight to his friends -- completely forgetting about me. To me, that's the best sign of a truly great place for mu child.
