I called to get more information on day care services for when I return to work (in three months)…read more The lady I spoke to was really rude. She kept making comments about how hard infants are, she told me "now you listen, if you find someone to hold your spot for three months you give them the deposit". I wasn't asking her to hold a spot for me, I was simply inquiring to see if this daycare would be a fit for my families needs. She kept lecturing me on the phone when I was simply asking about their hours, if they take infants and if they're licensed. Finding a daycare you can trust is stressful enough on its own and I am doing the right thing by calling in advance to find the best option for my family. This was a terrible experience and I wouldn't recommend this day care as the lady was not kind, nor helpful.

EDIT to reply: *Thank you for confirming much of what I…read moredescribed in my original review. To clarify, our concern was never your safe sleep policies or licensing regulations. Our concern was the expectation that a 7-month-old consistently adapt to a lengthy group nap schedule and remain quiet for nearly an entire two-hour rest period when he naturally woke after shorter sleep cycles. As parents, we made extensive efforts to support your classroom environment and implemented every strategy suggested to us. We adjusted his home schedule, feeding routines, sleep routines, and methods of falling asleep specifically to create consistency with daycare and make things easier for staff. Despite that, it continually felt as though normal infant behavior was being treated as a behavioral problem rather than a developmental stage. I also find it interesting that while stating you value privacy, your response still publicly references alleged gastrointestinal discomfort, feeding concerns, and discussions about our home routines. That only reinforces why I intentionally kept my original review general. I completely understand that group care may not be the right fit for every infant at every stage. My review was simply intended to help other parents understand that this program may not work best for babies.* I'm really disappointed to be writing this, but I feel parents of babies under 2 should be aware of our experience. As a prior daycare/childcare professional and a parent, I would not recommend this center for babies who don't comply with strict schedules. We enrolled our infant son here because initially we liked the environment. Unfortunately, we ran into ongoing concerns about how sleep was being handled, which ultimately led to us pulling him out. Our son has consistently taken short naps (around 30-45 minutes) since birth, which is developmentally normal for many infants. However, staff began sending him home early if he did not nap for at least an hour. This "one-hour nap" expectation appeared to be a requirement they set themselves, rather than something based on his individual needs. They did come out with various "sleep plans" but it felt like the goal post was always moving and they were never satisfied with the progress he made. It also became clear that a major concern from staff was that our 7 month old was not able to follow or adhere to "quiet time." This was confusing and concerning, as infants at this age are not developmentally capable of understanding or consistently following that type of expectation. At one point, staff described him as "disruptive," which was honestly shocking to hear about a baby. That raised red flags for us about expectations being placed on infants and how their needs are being interpreted. I also want to note that in reading other Yelp reviews, I saw responses from the business that appeared to include detailed context about individual situations, which I do not find appropriate. Because of that, I'm choosing to keep some details general here, as I'm not comfortable having personal information about my child and do not want a response. We understand that caring for multiple infants is challenging, but labeling a baby as disruptive, combined with rigid and unrealistic sleep expectations, made this feel like the wrong environment for our family.

A year ago, my family and I made the daring move from Los Angeles to Beaumont. We finally started…read morelooking for a day care center for our 3 year old daughter in April, 2024. We were very nervous but knew the many advantages my daughter would reap from the experience... From the tour, my daughter and I fell in love!!! We were able to observe all the classrooms in action. Even the littles were doing arts and crafts! It was a beautiful sight. We patiently waited for her start date. And in August 12, 2024, we finally got a spot! Ms Daisy is her teacher and she's a true gift! My daughter has a lot of energy and was not used to a structured setting. But Ms Daisy has been patient and empathetic as my daughter became acclimated to this new environment. Every night, my daughter organizes her school uniform, and every morning she wakes me up excited to head to school. She comes home and shows her work with pride. She even gets excited to do her homework. My daughter absolutely loves Young Scholars and loves Ms Daisy! (The third week of August, one week after my 3 year old started), we were soooo fortunate that a spot was available for our 18 month old daughter. Before we inquired about availability, we never planned to enroll our baby girl in day care that young. But we saw how happy our 3 year old was and knew Young Scholars would be a good place for our baby to grow up at. Ms Cynthia has came into our lives as the baby's teacher, and has been a light! From enrollment, I addressed my daughter's speech as an area of concern. Both Ms Rosie and Ms Cynthia have taken the time to observe and unofficially have shared their observations. I say unofficially because providing recommendations takes time and progress reports are their "official" findings... I'm a special education teacher, I'm well aware that a school can't diagnose a child nor can they give recommendations right away. It's vital to gather data, especially when my daughter is still developing. but in the meantime, I appreciate the updates! It makes me feel heard as a concerned parent... My baby girl has been going to young scholars for one month now and this baby is making strides!! Before Ms Cynthia came into our lives, my baby would wave to signal hi/bye, she'd point when she wanted something, and would cry out of frustration when attempting to converse with us. Now, she's saying "bye-bye," "help me," "please," "agua," and the list continues!! Although my baby's speech is not where a typical 19 month baby should be, she's making growth and that's a celebration to us!! She's showing confidence when she speaks and puts effort when attempting words. I love that she gets homework because it reinforces the skills Ms Cynthia is teaching. My baby enters the classroom and greets Ms Cynthia with a hug, that shows the love and trust she has in her. & I can't forget about Ms Jobana, who's been an angel with my girls! Ms Jobana is another teacher and also supports during day care hours. My daughters usually close out the day with her, and She's so sweet and attentive! I love this place so much! This is a great place for kids to learn and grow! As an educator, I know how underpaid and challenging this job is. I love that Ms Daisy and Ms Cynthia put love into their job and it reflects on my daughter's happiness. This isn't just a school/day care, it's a second home for our kids. I'm so grateful that the universe put this school in our paths because we feel right at home.

After reading Tisha R's review, it became apparent she either suffers from amnesia or simply lacks…read moreany sort of self awareness. Given her unbelievably unhinged behavior IN FRONT OF CHILDREN and my personal experience with Young Scholar, I feel it is my moral responsibility to share what I witnessed and my personal experience with Young Scholar. A few weeks ago, I entered the school and immediately became concerned when I heard screaming. I quickly dropped my son off at his class to ensure the safety of those involved. Tisha seems to have forgotten the part when she disregarded innocent children and found it appropriate to scream at staff, belittle them, and smack items off the shelf and onto the ground. I'm baffled that this woman is more concerned with limiting screen time than modeling healthy and appropriate interactions. One ought to be more concerned with modeling good character. My son has attended this school for nearly two years and came highly recommended by a family member. Before enrolling at Young Scholar, my son was diagnosed with a speech delay. I made Ms. Rosie (THE OWNER) aware of this. The diagnosis filled me with anxiety and she handled it with sensitivity, respect, and care. She provided me with additional resources and ideas. She even requested his treatment plan to implement in the classroom. His speech quickly exploded and progressed more than it had after months in therapy. I credit Young Scholar for his progress. I find it hard to believe Ms. Rosie would ever address this sort of concern in the callous way Tisha described. It took him a short while to acclimate and there were difficult mornings. Ms. Cynthia was eager to integrate him and held him when necessary. My son is resistant to naps but she tamed that beast too. Working remotely allowed me the flexibility to pop in whenever I wanted and I rarely observed an iPad being used. They are occasionally utilized during free time and outside curriculum hours. Additionally, whenever a child receives a scrape or bump, parents are given a report and explanation as to how the injury occurred. We are asked to sign the report and the incident is put in a file. Also, the ADMIN she referred to is named Ms. Mari. My son would kidnap her and keep her forever if he could. Not only is she fantastic with the kids but you can see the love in her eyes when she speaks of them. Ms. Mari is the type of person you want to be friends with and I sincerely enjoy her beyond the care she provides to my son. Ms. Rosie is the owner. She can't provide information for a superior that does not exist. I hope this parent takes time to reflect on her conduct and takes accountability for her actions. Nothing she described warranted the behavior I witnessed.

We noticed at the last daycare, he would come home irritable have excessive rashes, dirty, along with staff communication issues, screaming at drop off, dirty/broken equipment, and so many other issues.

Now both of my sons attend Monty's and my toddler sprints to class every morning. My infant is always smiling when he sees his teachers and both classrooms have great communication. Any questions or concerns we had out of curiosity has been answered by the front office and everyone has been extremely polite. We love how engaged the staff is with the families and how receptive our kids have responded to the changes. Our only regret is not having moved our toddler sooner and to join the Monty family years ago!

( who turns out is not a listed employee of school, despite being on campus consistently) upon submitting our kindergartners 2 week notice (postdated for Dr.Lisa Gilfillan) we were immediately met with texts / messages from both angelina and jaimie pertaining to details stated specifically in notice. all accounts had again since been confirmed as paid and up to date, all bank statements were mailed and received, though just two days prior to our daughters last day with montys we were notified via email that if we did not submit the final payment amounts in cash / in office they would then withhold our daughters kindergarten academic records. following this email i again messaged, emailed and mailed all bank statements and proof of payment from brightwheel to montys academy aswell as dr. lisa gilfillan to which we recieved zero responses. go charter, go homeschool, go elsewhere! entire experience has been rather unfortunate as we had very high hopes for both montys and the staff.
