    This review is NOT based on the education received at MAMG or any of the teachers. It is solely…read morebased on the experience of inquiring about the school and interacting w/ the site director. I called MAMG to schedule a tour and gather information. The lady I spoke with was so dry and seemed uninterested. Regardless, I scheduled a tour as maybe she was having a bad day and I realize that not everyone can be cheery all the time. :) The tour went well, and I made sure it was scheduled w/ another person. She was friendly and kind. I asked this lady for a packet or folder of information and she was surprised that the first lady I spoke with never emailed it to me. She took down my email address and said she would request that lady to send it to me. Guess what? I never received it! I just think that is horrible practice. I have enrolled my daughter elsewhere. But, I thought the business owner/manager should know about the incompetence of the person I dealt with. I am happy to speak further about it...as I don't want to call out this individual on a public platform.

    My son spent 4 great years here, from the infant room, to toddler room, to primary. Our son was…read morewell cared for in all of them and we believe he developed well there, both socially and academically. Their communication is great, the Bright Wheel app they use is fantastic, and they are very accommodating in all the best ways, while continuing to do what's best for the kids. I've also been impressed with their willingness to help when we've needed assistance with our son's transition to kindergarten, even after our son was no longer enrolled there. Would recommend to anyone that they can trust them with their child's education, safety and wellbeing.

    We had two children (ages 1, 4) enrolled for a year. When we approached the director about an…read moreissue we had observed in a classroom, she was defensive, blamed the staff, and was unable to articulate corrective action. Ultimately we felt uncomfortable leaving our children in her care. We moved our children to a different center where we have much more confidence in the staff and leadership team.

    I started writing the below review when my stepchild graduated in 2018, but left it in my drafts…read morefolder - let bygones be bygones, and hope it gets better. Seeing Charlene dismiss any criticism as "disgruntled former staff" and "move on with your life" is sadly unsurprising and made me reconsider. And I'd love to know who has the home daycare for my second child! Her defensive and paranoid dismissal of any criticism, trying to pin down exactly who left each review should tell you everything you need to know about her. Why would she have multiple disgruntled former staff? What does she think of parents? What kind of director fails to reopen in a year? Are any of the kids, teachers, or staff returning after a hiatus of a year? Is it even open for business? Without those people, you have nothing. Charlene, if you want this business to succeed as you start again, you need to learn from your mistakes. The Montessori method applies to you, too - how can you run a school if you are yourself unwilling to learn, develop, and commit to excellence? -- The instructors and staff here are top-notch. They absolutely foster growth in children, and the kids have excellent social and academic skills when they finish. They deserve a greater share of compensation and credit for what they do. What holds this school back is the director, Charlene. It's clear that this is not her primary source of income, but a side project. Yet she arbitrarily micromanages things that could easily be planned with a yearly calendar and event template. Every party, every graduation, is needlessly ambitious, expensive, and yet poorly executed. Children regularly come home confus d, reporting new rules Charlene set verbally that day, that often contradict Montessori principles of expression. "No pierced ears" "No light-up shoes" "No hair dye" "No temporary tattoos" - that sort of thing. Parent teacher conferences are announced late and with little notice. Communication from the director is generally poor and is the source of much frustration with the parents. The kids and parents would be much better served if the instructors were given more autonomy in the day to day and the director stuck to setting the direction. I hope reorganization can occur with the upcoming move - which was announced very late in the year, with little information, leaving parents scrambling.

    Sugar Plum Tree Preschool - My son has thrived, met wonderful friendships, the teachers are very experienced and beyond caring.

We can rely on them to care, teach and provide him many learning experiences so he can become an independent little boy, ready for kindergarten. They helped him learn to talk more with wonderful songs, colors and shapes in Acorns, drink out of an open top cup, potty training & clean up after himself (lunch and toys) in Sprouts, learn all his letters, numbers, writing, follow direction, independence and more in Discovery and Koala classes. Each classroom has an appropriate teacher-student ratio with colorful, private rooms each with their own personality. And during the pandemic, they have kept each child and staff member safe with their rules to protect and keep the mask mandate since the kids are too young to vaccinate. Mrs. Waters and his pre-K teachers have supported our son in most his special ed needs by allowing his private therapists to come to the school. He gets SLP & OT sessions in per week while aligning with his teachers to work with his therapists which help him transition from therapy back to gym or class time. This has been such a big help to know he is getting many of his needs met. Thank you Mrs. Waters, Lynn, Brittany and all his teachers for your help, support, learning and life skills for our son throughout these years!!!

She knows all of her letters and their sounds, can count to 20, and absolutely adores her teachers. The teaching staff is kind and gentle while maintaining structure. They also work hard to meet the specific needs of each child while nudging them to grow and adapt. They're also partners in helping manage any behavior challenges (what? Toddlers being difficult?? No way........). The meals and snacks are healthy and balanced. They also have great respect and care with allergies or dietary needs. The cost is beyond reasonable as well. All in all we are huge fans.

All of the staff are nurturing and kind - they truly treat the children as if they are family and always exhibit sincere care and concern for the kiddos. Mosaic offers a broad range of activities and learning opportunities for all ages. Our kids were always coming home singing songs they learned and new tidbits and facts they learned each week! The center's Covid19 precautions are top-notch as well, and we felt extremely comfortable sending our 3 year old back in June. My eldest graduated from Mosaic two years ago, and she left wanting to become a teacher when she grows up - and I know it is because of the wonderful experience she had at Mosaic.

    Little People Montessori - My sweet lady, we will find somewhere that will treat her the way she deserves.

Meals are prepared in the kitchen of the building, it was the end of the day so dishes were piled up in the sink, cleanliness wasn't top notch.

Several of the teachers have been with the school for over a decade, which speaks volumes about the strong and caring community they've built. I have also seen graduates of LPM who are now in high school and college visit the school or come back to volunteer. Ms. Gina even prepares home-cooked meals for the teachers every day - I've had the privilege of trying some, and she's an amazing cook! It's clear that she not only values her staff but goes above and beyond to care for them. The entire team, from classroom teachers to volunteers, are incredibly kind, nurturing, and truly invested in the children's well-being. While LPM doesn't rely on flashy marketing, my husband and I appreciate that this allows all the attention to be focused on providing quality care to the children. As I try to speak Korean to my child at home, I am especially grateful for the cultural sensitivity at LPM - Ms. Gina, Ms. Ellie, and at least one other staff member speak fluent Korean and honor Korean culture, which makes us feel right at home. If you're looking for a daycare that is a caring community and prioritizes heartfelt care for each child, LPM is the place to be.
