We cannot recommend Spondeo Montessori Preschool & K-3 enough. My son attended for three years, and…read morethe impact this school has had on his growth is truly invaluable. During a season of complex family dynamics, the staff showed exceptional kindness, understanding, and professionalism. They provided a safe, stable, and deeply nurturing environment where my son was able to thrive during some of the most important early childhood developmental years. The Montessori approach to child-led learning was beautifully implemented. Beyond academics, my son gained incredible life skills... gardening, cleaning, food preparation, understanding personal space, and practicing etiquette. These practical skills built his confidence and independence in ways that extend far beyond the classroom. Today, he is thriving both socially and academically, and I credit so much of that foundation to his time at Spondeo. The director Andrea is one of the most kind, child-centered, and professional women I have ever met. She runs the school exceptionally well and is highly involved in the daily life of the students and teachers. You can truly feel her heart for children in everything the school does. We are so grateful for our time there and would wholeheartedly recommend Spondeo to any family looking for a nurturing, enriching Montessori education.

We have been absolutely thrilled with our experience at Spondeo Montessori. Our son has been…read moreattending this daycare for nearly a year, starting when he was just 8 months old. The care and attention he received in the infant room were exceptional, with the staff always providing individualized care (like easing him into the day with his favorite basket of balls), even sending us photos and updates throughout the day, which put our minds at ease. Now that he has transitioned to the toddler room, we continue to be impressed by how much he is learning and growing. The Montessori approach has truly supported his natural curiosity and independence. Whether it's through sensory activities, practical life exercises, or outdoor play, we see him thriving and hitting key developmental milestones like learning to communicate better (thank you sign language) and developing fine motor skills. The staff is loving, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's development, always encouraging his progress while keeping us closely informed about his day-to-day experiences. The facilities are clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed to create a warm and stimulating environment for the children. We also appreciate how the school fosters a sense of community among families, hosting events and providing resources that allow us to feel even more connected to our child's learning journey. When we were looking at daycares we considered other Montessori-based daycares (some independently owned and some franchise), and we're so glad that we chose Spondeo! We found that the franchise based Montessori daycares felt more adjacent to a regular daycare and didn't offer the same level of independence and problem-solving that we offer at home. Spondeo does such a great job respecting our child's abilities! We couldn't be happier with the level of communication, support, and involvement the staff maintains with us as parents. We highly recommend Spondeo Montessori to any parents looking for a nurturing, educational, and enriching daycare environment for their child. It has been the perfect fit for our family!

I was terrified to put my daughter In school as a first time mom. I actually couldn't handle the anxiety so I pulled her out after I was sobbing all day the first day she was gone. Well, penny and the staff were not only empathetic but made me feel comfortable doing things on my own time table. So when I decided to try again a week later I was welcomed with open arms. The quality of the teachers here feels more like a family. Everyone in the school helps each other. Miss Jazzy, Miss Caitlin, really every single teacher I have ever met has made me feel like home. They all know your child and love your child. Miss Wulan and Miss Ann Marie were her home room teachers and wow. These woman.. they don't make them like this anymore! Positive, loving, personal, engaged are only a few ways to describe them. They have been absolutely instrumental to Logan's growth and experience. She has thrived and become a social butterfly. These teachers never look tired and are always up beat. Ms Chrystal at the front desk always welcomes you with warmth and familiarity and never judged how many incident reports my daughter had. I was always met with comfort and understanding whenever I was worried about something my Daughter had done! And the school is owned and managed by Penny who is a GEM of a human being. These women are loving, smart, and are valued so much. They deserve the world and I'm so grateful to have found them. I'm forever in debt to this school and all it has done for myself and my daughter. Also, they know how much I love them and never once asked for a review. But if you are a nervous mom, or want an honest take, please ask penny for my number and I'd be happy to walk you through how they made this experience incredible.

We absolutely love The Goddard School of Gilbert (at East Germann). Even though there were a few…read moreoptions closer to us, we chose this preschool because the atmosphere here just felt different, in the best way. From the very first visit, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. You can tell the team really loves what they do. Our main teacher is always so happy around the children, you can feel her joy, and it really stood out compared to other places we toured. All the teachers are kind and smiling, and they take the time to connect with both the children and the parents. It's such a warm, supportive environment. Literally everyone is so nice! Another huge factor for us was safety and peace of mind. As a parent, being able to drop off your child without worrying is everything, and this preschool makes that possible. The classroom ratios are low, the environment is always clean, the sign-in process is secure, and they're thoughtful about food and nutrition. We've also had no issues with recurring colds or back-to-back illnesses, which has been such a relief. All of that makes a big difference. They've also been incredibly flexible, willing to work with us to make sure our child feels comfortable, whether that means bringing a favorite stuffy from home or making food & drink accommodations. They even have an easy, healthy lunch ordering system, which has been such a plus for our busy mornings. There are always fun activities and themes planned, plus special events like Splash Days and the petting zoo! We get daily updates (naps, meal times) and photos, which we look forward to every day. Our child is always excited to go, and it's clear the other children are happy too. This location has such a cozy, close-knit feel, and the whole team is just wonderful. We're so thankful we found this place, it truly feels like a second home. Special thank you to Ms. Sydni, Ms. Crystal, Ms. Maressa, Ms. Diane, Ms. Caitlin, Ms. Jazmine, Ms. Mahjoba, and Ms. Penny, you've all made such a difference for our family

After just one trial day this is the message I received from the OWNER of this business (Renee) not…read morea phone call a TEXT MESSAGE: Hi Sierra. Dad just picked up from trial day, but I thought I would reach out to you as well. It was so nice meeting you today unfortunately, I don't think Ar'mias is ready for a preschool classroom that requires students to be potty trained. After spending the day with him, he definitely needs more one on one attention with a teacher assistant to officially potty train him, remind him to have gentle hands around his fellow students, assist him in keeping his shoes on both inside and outside the classroom for his safety, and to make certain he doesn't rip up books and other classroom belongings. I think you are definitely on the right track with getting him tested for speech and seeing what other ways the school district can assist you in your academic journey. Best wishes to you and your family! I instantly called her as this should have been a phone call and the message could have been delivered better. I'm all for feedback regarding my child but within FOUR hours of a 3 yr old TODDLER being in an unfamiliar place not knowing ANYONE this is what you came up with? there was not one positive thing said about my child in that whole message or phone call! I Wasn't going to write this review but as the days go by the lack of emotional intelligence has became overly disgusting! Choosing to be in the childcare industry....DO BETTER! Respectfully. My child was never asked to leave ANY facility. I withdrew him as the the cost was not equivalent to the hours we needed once enrolled in an actual school district. When we came to tour your "facility" we informed your employee that he did not have the potty training completely down as he still have accidents and needs frequent reminders. Which her response was if he's able to go, pull up his pants, and wash his hands he's considered potty trained. If it was said at the first viewing we would have NEVER sent him for a FREE trail day! But as you can see how she responds she's completely disrespectful and incompetent and so is the staff!!

My almost 2-year-old daughter…read moreis thriving, and it's all thanks to the loving and highly skilled teachers, especially Ms. Rachel, who my daughter adores like a second mom. The teachers here are incredibly well-trained in nurturing and guiding kids aged 1-4, and I can see the results every day. One of the biggest milestones for us has been potty training. My daughter is getting the support she needs at school, and it's clicking! She comes home so happy and fulfilled, singing, dancing, and playing. I was initially so worried about putting her in daycare, as she was a Velcro baby and would always scream when she wasn't with me. But the environment is so warm and welcoming that she quickly became comfortable and now loves going to school. What makes this place truly special is the variety of enriching activities. My daughter helps take care of the chickens, tends the organic garden, and enjoys reading, drawing, dancing, and playing with her friends. The magic these teachers create in their classrooms is truly amazing--they know just how to care for my baby girl, and I feel so lucky to have found them. I also love how transparent and communicative the school is. I receive daily text message updates, so I always know what's going on with my daughter, which gives me so much peace of mind. The school worked with us on our budget and schedule, and I really appreciate how upfront they are with pricing and schedules on their website--no hidden surprises. Ms. Jennifer, the owner, made us feel like family from day one, and I'm so grateful for the warm, nurturing environment she's created. I honestly feel like we hit the jackpot with this preschool. It's the best possible place for our daughter, and I would recommend it to any parent looking for a magical, loving environment where their child can grow and thrive!

I first heard about The Little Garden Schoolhouse in May 2016 when they had their seasonal…read morecommunity seed exchange event. At the time my spirited preschool daughter was attending a local STEM school, and while it was a good school - I didn't feel that she was supported and she wasn't thriving to her full potential... Enter Jennifer Valverde When I met Jennifer (Owner & visionary of LGS) it was immediately discernable the amount of care, passion, ENTHUSIASM and knowledge she was bringing to the table in the locally wide world of preschools. I made the decision to enroll both my 2 year old and my then 5 year old daughters into LGS - I can happily say I never looked back. Enrolling at LGS was a real game changer for our family, both of my girls felt supported, a home away from home. They grew and fostered relationships with the other students, Ms. Jennifer and staff. They developed an appreciation for recycling & composting, their love for yoga deepened as it is a different experience for them to partake in yoga with their peers rather than at home with their Mom. At this age a child's real work is learning to be in this big world and learning that there are others as well to work & play well with, a lesson I think some adults tend to forget. I love the snack system at LGS -and I am always peeking in to garner new ideas myself. The children -even the toddlers join at the community table and help each other with their chairs and passing utensils and plates around. As far as "meat" not offered as an option during snack -I myself have never witnessed meat offered as a snack to students at other preschools -and I would be concerned if it were "how is the meat handled" and such. As far as vitamin nutrition is concerned -this begins at home -as a parent it our own responsibility to ensure our children receiving the most out of their diets and supplements that we provide. All else is gravy. Amongst the veritably gorgeous food forest I see a plethora of butterflies and wild parakeets swooping around amongst the pine and sunflowers.

My son attended this daycare back when Camille was in charge…read more We had a wonderful experience. Camille created a fun and positive atmosphere for the staff, which naturally extended to the children. Each classroom had a unique theme, and the lunch menu was always exciting. I would often drop in unexpectedly, and everything was always in order. However, I was not particularly fond of the area manager, Angel. Her unprofessional behavior and personal drama, involving her creepy, cheating husband, were evident to the parents. I also witnessed her speaking down to the front desk staff on several occasions, which was very uncomfortable to see.
