Since the beginning, I have nothing but positive feelings towards the school, staff and the education my son has been receiving. In addition to the standard reading and writing curriculum, they also have the opportunity to study piano, Spanish, dancing, art projects, theater, field trips and science experiments. Furthermore, the teachers encourage the students to be independent and disciplined. The owner, who I personally got to know throughout the years; gives her heart and soul for the welfare of the children. As a result, I would highly recommend this school. Parent

I can't say enough good things about Montessori Greenhouse! I have two kids at this school since…read more2020 (3 years) and expect be a parent for another 3 years! I have experienced their toddler and early childhood program. I have seen my kids flourish under the teacher's guidance, patience, love, and humor(!), as well as surrounded by other students who are being taught how to be independent and kind to each other. I especially love the mixed aged classroom where older kids are taught to be patient and caring with the younger kids. I'm so glad I discovered greenhouse for my kids. Thank you teachers for all you do!! My kids Love going to school. In particular it's their teachers that are exceptionally awesome and caring. I hope the administrators do what they can to keep and retain them. The teachers are the lifeblood of this school and why parents recommend others to come.

When we did the initial walk through at MGH, we informed Michelle of my son's frustration and…read morebehavior issues and asked her how they would address this at school, she confidently told me she would take him outside to diffuse him. We also had numerous formal and informal meetings with Christine and Karinna, who always said they wanted to work with us. We were told we had to get outside help from a doctor, and when we told them it would take a while to see results (per the psychologist), they reiterated they were willing to help. After being called to be picked up after an hour of class on his 4th full day of school, I spoke with Christine and she told me what happened. I also called the director, Heather, to discuss our options. Christine didn't mention anything about Simon not being allowed to attend school anymore without extra help provided by his family, nor did Heather. On Tuesday morning, I sent Heather an email with tips of how to diffuse my son, thinking the teachers could use it as a guideline in helping to steer him in the right direction. Twenty minutes prior to school starting, she called to tell me that it wasn't possible for my son to get any more one on one from the teachers and since our nanny couldn't be at the school until 10am, the staff felt they weren't safe with my son in class without the help. Why Heather didn't call me Monday or even earlier Tuesday morning to let me know he was not able to attend that day still baffles me. Heather said she was waiting to talk to me at the site, but that would have only resulted in her turning us away as I had my daughter with me that morning and wouldn't have been able to stay to help.  I got my so ready that morning, we packed his lunch together, and I gave him the pep talk about Karinna not being in class, but got him excited for music class that day. If I wouldn't have sent that email, Heather wouldn't have called at all and we would have arrived at the school only for her to have told us the news in front of my son. How do you think he would have felt about that? I'm surprised that the director of a place that regards itself as fostering confidence in young children would reject a child to their face. The website states, "studies prove that the relationship between a caretaker and a child is more secure when it's longer. It supports the social and emotional development of a child. Whereas, frequent change in approach or caretakers can cause suffering and early depression in children." Heather and her staff gave my son one full day the first week and three full days the second week, calling us to pick him up on what would have been his fifth day at MGH.  If the email I had sent Tuesday morning were suggestions from an actual psychologist, would they have called to tell me you couldn't give him one on one attention to implement the strategies from a doctor? The meeting on Friday with the teachers suggested otherwise, as we were told they were ready to work with whatever care we found once an assessment was made. Christine informed me that she would have to call to have my son picked up from school if the kids felt unsafe. According to her, this happened for the first time on Monday even though he was called to be picked up three prior days of school. No one informed me he wouldn't be able to return without my nanny or a parent in the classroom after this one incident of him kicking in the direction of a child. I was under the impression that we would have to come get him if it happened again, but not that he couldn't return. The first I heard of this was twenty minutes before the start of class on Tuesday. I was caught of guard and it was very unprofessional. I am so glad this did not end up happening in front of my four year old son, as the director originally intended. I understand my so was not easy and required a lot of one on one. He has never been in anything full time all day. He has never been in a Montessori setting. I believe he was not given a fair chance to succeed. He was not even given an entire week. The MHG program is more geared toward families with Montessori backgrounds, with kids that are ready to do their work without much assistance. This should have been conveyed to us before we signed on, as we were open about his past behavior and experience. I hope in the future you are up front with parents regarding any children that may have special needs or behavioral problems.

The past two years have been challenging with Covid but somehow this school and our daughters teachers made it the best experience possible. Our daughter has blossomed so much since enrolling two years ago, she is more than ready to head to elementary school. I wouldn't have done this any other way. I highly recommend Lakewood. We will miss our little school and AMAZING teachers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Ms. Cecilia, Ms. Danielle, and other other teachers who have played a role in our daughters time at Lakewood.

I have been thinking and giving some thoughts. At first this school was good I saw my daughter…read morelearning and improving in her development, educational wise. My daughter she's 3 year old she's being assets at the Artesia preschool development center and got her iep. She has been working with harbor regional center. She didn't qualify for the school so instead she's being put on the waiting list at the state preschool. At that time I was looking around to see what's best for her since she needs extra help in everything. She's delayed in a lot of things especially in speech wise. I found Lakewood Montessori had a tour with miss Jazmin at first she's good then she got offended that I texted too much about my daughter concern. She sent pictures to me which I like about my daughter doing. I reply back and said she knows how. :) she keep saying I text to much. Then my daughter kept getting sick so I inform them. Then she complain I text too much and worry too much. (Well no shit she's my child and she got Covid) Then last week she texted my husband because he came to the school with me to pick my daughter up. She then talk shit to my husband and said I need to stop worry and concern. Well of course my daughter has a delay learning and doesn't know how to feed herself and do a lot of things herself. You're a professional teacher but not professional enough to teach kids that need the extra help. She told me use the pictures I sent to see if my daughter knows the name of her friends. Well I did that she don't know the names of her friends. They're very expensive potty training I paid $150 and they're not doing anything at all. The school itself cost around $1100. Plus material fees and pizza party. Omg they even charge for pizza LOLOL I don't think I will be taking my daughter here anymore as you can see. Is already drama miss Jazmin causing drama to my family while my husband is busy working and she act like he cares. At a public school if the parents is concerned about their child education the teachers are more professional when a parent is asking question. This school is not professional enough every time I asked both Ms Jazmin and Ms erash they tell me not to worry and my daughter is fine. I also asked them what she learn today because my daughter is still speech delay. They don't tell me. Save the trouble if you want better education and teacher for your child, especially kids that need more help this school is not it. Parents can't even ask questions they get annoyed. public school abc school district is totally different. Edit: thank you for giving the refund back to us but my review still stands because this school is not specialized enough to kids who needs the special help. They might have over 25 years of experienced but not experienced enough in other criteria. Thank you for teaching my daughter for about one month she did learn a lot until I wanted to see how's she doing everyday. My parents when I was in school, they also asked the teachers how her child was doing. It's normal to ask and concern. And this school does not potty train they will charge $150 but they won't potty trained your kids.

Haiku: LiMai Montessori Academy…read more Language immersion Self-paced and hands-on teachings Warm and caring staff. --- We were at LiMai Montessori for a couple of years, and my daughter absolutely loved her time there. Thanks to the loving team, our daughter always felt safe, cherished, and eager to head to school every day. She couldn't wait to give morning hugs to her teachers, Miss Dianna and Mrs Rekha. She truly blossomed under Miss Dianna's gentle guidance, energetic enthusiasm, and deep dedication. By Kindergarten, she mastered her math concepts and built an incredible foundation for learning. My daughter still talks about the country unit studies over the years and wants to visit and experience Japan's cherry blossoms and Paris' Mona Lisa. We still keep in touch with Miss Dianna, and she was even so sweet to FaceTime my daughter to calm her nerves during her first days of kindergarten. Mrs Rekha is a ray of sunshine, supportive, kind-hearted, and a favorite among the students. The directors, Mrs Tabitha and Mrs Amy, are always welcoming and communicative. They keep the school running seamlessly. What sets LiMai apart from others is its language and cultural immersion. For pre-school classes, your child can learn Mandarin, Korean, or Spanish. Tip: There's usually a long waitlist for Mandarin, so make sure to add your kid early and keep checking in with the staff. There are also add-on enrichment classes like piano, dance, and soccer. (LMA outsources to other companies, and they teach on campus.) My daughter always looked forward to her Dancing in Harmony dance classes with Miss Amber and performing at their dance recitals. Bonus: Your kid can opt in for freshly cooked Asian lunch meals like curry, soba, and japchae. I always smelled something delicious cooking at morning drop-off. There are always fun activities happening at the school too. From Trunk-or-Treat to Mother's and Father's Day events, to Water Play Day to Baby Prom--it makes it an enjoyable place for kids to play and for families to engage with others. We still hang out with the same group of friends/families we've met at LMA. We miss the teachers, staff, and school. We still come back to visit and are always greeted with warm hugs. We highly recommend LMA!

When they're that little, finding a school where you feel comfortable leaving your child is so important, and we've had a really positive experience with Prodigy. I'd especially like to mention Ms. Priya, the director, for the care and effort she puts into the school and the children. The school has excellent facilities. Unlike other schools we've visited, where outdoor space for children to run around and play can be quite limited, Prodigy has two large playgrounds designed for different age groups, giving children plenty of room to move, explore, and enjoy outdoor play in an age-appropriate space. The indoor spaces are also thoughtfully arranged. What really stands out to us is how much Prodigy prioritizes the safety of its children. The fenced-in playgrounds, cameras throughout the school, and parent-specific entry access codes are thoughtful measures that give us peace of mind as parents. The teachers make an effort to help the children learn, explore, and gradually become more independent while providing the warmth and encouragement that little ones need at this age. We also value being able to communicate with the school and stay involved in our daughter's experience. We're happy with our decision to enroll her at Prodigy Montessori. We would highly recommend it to other parents looking for a safe, and caring Montessori environment for their little ones.

Everyone is very welcoming and attentive to all the children. Our son has a couple food-related allergies (peanut and dairy) and they do their best to accommodate. Over the past few months, they have renovated the classrooms and made some improvements to the large play yard. There is also a centralized app (Brightwheel) where parents receive important updates, make payments, receive photo updates, and check-in/out their child/children and I have not run into any issues so far. Parking can be a bit busy on random occasions but they have enforced a new rule that prevents cars from blocking the main driveway and there's plenty of street parking if the actual spots are taken. We're lucky enough to walk to CEEP on occasion but when we do drive, there's almost always parking available for a quick pick up or drop off. Lastly, the curriculum and schedules are very well-balanced and our son always comes home sharing exciting updates about what he learned, what he saw, and/or what kinds of arts and crafts he worked on. I could keep going but I'll end this review by highlighting the excellent operation here and how happy my child (and my wife and I) feel about Cypress Early Explorers Preschool.

We transitioned him without hesitation & with the help of Ms. Prema & her staff, they saw the potential & weakness of my son, they started him with an individualized plan to make him a better student. He has progressed dramatically since he begun with Reading, Math, Homework, & advanced study to prepare him better. They are very patient & always communicate with us in every step of the way. School year just ended, my sons teacher saw the tremendous improvement over-all with his skills & his learning habits, and we give a big portion of credit to Ms. Prema & her team! We are grateful & satisfied with the patience, hard-work, & dedication of her team! Also, one of the positive side is they offer to pick-up your child from school to the montessori, which is a huge plus so we don't have to worry about getting to one place to the other. We highly recommend this place as it gives children a good balance of learning, study, play, & improvement of the child over all.
