My rating for this preschool has not changed, but what did need to change is the awful and…read moreuninformative review I gave a year ago when I wrote it. I adore this preschool and everyone involved in it. Here's a list of why: -The people who work here love kids. It seems like a no brainier but at many preschools the teachers don't really like kids and get annoyed, fed up, whatever with them. I get that kids (especially toddlers!) can be a bit of an ummmm...challenge. And I love kids but honestly would not have the patience to deal with 12-15 of them all day long. So it's really saying something to me when I pick up the boy that they aren't at the door trying to punt him to me. The teachers are patient and kind and truly love your child like they are family. -Field tripping. We go on just a few field trips each year but they rock. One is right across the street to the fire station. If you have a little boy you will see pure unabated joy in his eyes on this field trip. Little girls like it a lot too. Moms REALLY like it. :) Another great field trip is the annual dentist one where the kids learn all about good oral hygiene and get new tooth brushes. -This is a preschool, not a daycare. Kids are expected learn here. There are lessons everyday. My son, who starts kindergarten in the fall of 2014, knows his address, phone number, how to write his name, all of the days of the week, the months and can read several words all by himself. Not even in kindergarten yet. Need I say more?

With the other review I just saw that this year in February her child was being handled…read moreaggressively by mrs miracle I agree with her COMPLETELY. She is the reason we left. And the fact that they "couldn't handle" our barely two year old daughter crying because she is in a COMPLETELY new environment since her Original daycare unexpectedly closed down two weeks prior. She was scared and they told us, "we can't help her here but maybe our sister school can" when in fact it was the same lady who owns and operates the school she wanted to send us to. Don't you think the problem is still going to be there? The cameras in the building and classrooms are a great thing for many reasons. It's also how we caught this woman being aggressive to our child along with others children. Then had the audacity to act like nothing is wrong and talk bad about you when you report it. When looking over the footage the management saw nothing wrong and just said that she was fixing another Childs clothes. I don't know about you but I defiantly didn't know fixing another chips clothes entailed them picking said child up by their clothes straps and shaking them. but that's just me I guess. We had removed our daughter immediately since in the EXACT same day she was changing a child on the floor and a nearly two year old, who is more curious than ever for any kid at that age, was pushed quite harshly when already crying and wanted to be comforted. I will NEVER EVER recommend anyone to take their child to this daycare. If you want great care for your child DO NOT put them here. It's funny that miracle is her name because it is a MIRACLE that she is even Able to "teach" and be allowed to handle other peoples children. Side note, our daughter went to a new daycare two weeks after and cried for two days and that was it. Never cried again and was extremely excited to go to her new school.

I don't even have one negative thing to say about this place. I went to numerous preschools before…read morepicking this one. I knew the first time I went that I had found "the one". My son is 2 1/2 and I was looking for somewhere he could go for a few hours a week that would be enjoyable for him. Some places had funny odors or were too strict. This place seemed very clean with children having fun. When I met the teachers I was also very impressed as they are just soo friendly. My son who is super clingy loves coming here. They play outside, sing, do crafts and just have an awesome time. I definitely recommend this to all parents.

My kids (3.5 and almost 2, both boys) have been attending MAS for the past 6 months. They are very…read moredifferent kids, so we looked at a lot of different preschools and daycares before deciding that MAS was the right fit for both of them. My oldest is very social, verbal and musical. But he has really struggled with fine and gross motor skills, and he gets frustrated easily when his body won't do what his mind wants. At his previous preschool, they did a lot of teacher led crafts, and while he was having fun, he wasn't really engaging with the materials. Here, they use a lot of manipulatives, which has helped him practice hand-eye coordination while introducing him to abstract concepts, like basic math and letters. He's getting better at daily tasks too, like cleaning, dressing, and tidying up. He's a social butterfly, so the large mixed-age groups seem to really be his thing. Sometimes when I come to pick him up, he tells me to come back later because he wants to spend more time with his friends and his "nice teachers." My younger son is more of an introvert. He is not very verbal, but he's been talking more since going to MAS because he wants to communicate with his teachers and friends. The teachers read a lot to him, and he can even read a few words now. He can also do some one-digit addition, which was a surprise when he started chiming in on his brother's math practice. Every day when I pick him up, he says "A good day, mama!" and he's so happy. They spend a lot of time outdoors. The playground for the older kids is very nice and spacious, but the one for the little kids is much smaller. Still, it is nice to know that they are getting lots of movement throughout the day. Sometimes they eat lunch outside too if the weather is nice. Most of all, I've noticed that they are much more independent. I set up their toy room at home using the same kind of open shelves and trays that they use at MAS, and they put their materials back on the shelves without me even telling them to do anything. Part of the curriculum includes "grace and courtesy" in which they practice manners and being nice to one another, so that's been a big help when normal sibling disputes arrive. The downside is the cost. I do appreciate that there is a small sibling discount, but it is still more than my mortgage. However, I attribute that to the cost of quality Montessori materials, teacher and staff training and professional development, and the fact that MAS is fully accredited by the Louisiana Montessori Association (LMA). As a school policy attorney, I know that this accreditation system has its own unique set of legal guidelines, which is different from other school accreditation/teacher certification systems. It's a pretty high bar. Another thing to be aware of is that the program is highly structured. Think freedom within limits. The children are expected to follow certain routines and adhere to a sense of order. It helps to implement some of their processes at home so that there is consistency whether they are at home or at school. And at the end of the day, my children are happy, and that's all I really wanted.

We enrolled our children at this Montessori school hoping for an authentic, engaging, and…read moresupportive educational environment. Our experience over the last two months has been deeply disappointing, raising serious concerns regarding educational delivery, student safety, and basic service provision.We observed no measurable educational progress in our children over a two-month period. Beyond the stagnation, we found a fundamental disconnect in the philosophy. While the school heavily promotes "independence" and self-directed learning, this was highly limited. The expectation was that students perform activities in a highly structured manner dictated strictly on the school's terms, which undermined the very concept of following the child's independent interest.The school is wholly unequipped to support children with special needs. We found a significant absence of necessary resources, formal accommodations, or even a basic understanding of inclusive education practices. Staff demonstrated a concerning lack of patience and specialized care required for children needing extra support.The combined primary and pre-primary class features a large number of children. This heavy ratio means that any child requiring extra individual attention or one who is prone to overstimulation will struggle significantly in this environment. The school demonstrated a critical failure in communication regarding student safety. We were not immediately informed of an incident where our daughter was bitten. We only found out after she told us, and the staff then confirmed the incident after the fact. Timely and transparent communication on safety is non-negotiable and was absent here.It is apparent that not all teachers are certified in the Montessori curriculum. We observed that at least one long-term staff member could not articulate the foundational "why" behind core Montessori practices, indicating a lack of basic pedagogical understanding.Cleaning was an observable issue within the classroom bathroom.Despite the tuition, the school frequently engaged in additional fundraising efforts specifically to purchase basic Montessori educational materials for the classroom. It is unreasonable to charge a premium price and then require parents to fund the core equipment necessary for the school's claimed educational model. No breakfast or lunch was provided as part of the program also. We strongly urge parents--especially those with children who require additional attention, have special needs, or who expect professional standards of communication and staffing--to seek alternative educational settings. Our decision to withdraw was based on the lack of teaching, insufficient resources, and serious operational deficiencies.

My family member had her son here…read more the staff treated her very ignorantly and it made her worry about what kind of people she was entrusting with her little tiny two year old. Everything that can be observed and thought upon , where a person could be able to draw upon their own conclusions- pertaining to the style in which he's dressed- was questioned ...where she'd have to explain herself incessantly- as if they only bother her to get her(mom) to educate THEM on what is already the most obvious . Especially in this type of business, you want the best for your precious baby , to have some sort of caregiver question or doubt the mother's decision making (when it comes to the baby) is beyond comprehension these people act like they don't know what they're doing for you , to have to sit there and explain it !!! Do you really want someone that deft looking after your BABY!!!! No way and for them to critique the baby eating style, and sit there , and put any type of judgement over a little tiny baby being able to feed himself is so outrageous !!!!. Bad vibes all around !!! what are they thinking about your child, when you're paying them to do a job ? for them to sit there and put negativity towards someone so small and innocent just starting out in life .

We still feel like we can call/text her even in the evenings. I miss this place. I especially love the cute homemade presents we get from the kids for holidays and the little parties they put on. The Easter bunny and Santa comes to visit and they take Fall and Spring pictures. Also, when our kids left, they made a going away binder full of cute pictures throughout the years.
