The teacher in toddler class is great, very patient and nice, professional. But the whole admission…read moreprocess is very stressful. I put my baby's name on their toddler wait list one year before the semester starts, and they told me they will finalize the list for the fall semester around February, and they promised to send me an email as soon as they finish the process. But they never send me any emails. So from February to May, we called them numerous times(all goes directly to the mailbox) and never call back. Finally we received a rejection letter from them( send it to my old address) in May. I wrote an follow-up email a week ago, did not hear from them as usual. I know daycare here is very hard to get in especially Montessori, but at least respond in a reasonable time. Otherwise, do not post your email address or phone number on your website if you do not want parents to bother.

We are so happy with our experience at CSM that I have wished and begged them to expand to…read moreelementary so we can stay even longer! We are so fortunate to be able to spend five fabulous years there. We have had two neighbors join the school after hearing me rave about it. The community CSM has created is so special, full of kindness and love. They instill a joy of learning and a strong foundation of skills that will serve children well into their adulthood. It's not only academics - they build real life skills, grace & courtesy, social & emotional resilience, and care of environment. I attribute my child's love of washing dishes and windows solely to the Montessori works she happily chooses in the classroom. She also has been able to participate in enrichment art, dance, and soccer classes during the school day, which is so convenient for working parents. The guides are well-trained and tenured. They managed to have continuous in-person school throughout the 2020-21 school year because they keep their classrooms and school environment so clean and safe. The before-care is free and the after-care is at a reasonable rate. We only need to use the after-care occasionally and my child begs to be allowed to stay more often. Montessori is all about "follow the child" and she shows me everyday that we made a great choice in joining CSM.

We've recently researched several local preschools, trying to find the best one for our daughter,…read moreand were really impressed with The Goddard School. The staff is amazing. They responded to our request for more information right away (unlike some of the other well-ranked schools in the area that took weeks to get back to us), offered us an in-depth tour of the school and followed up the next day. You can tell by the kids' reactions that they really love them too. The curriculum is much more than I had expected to find, well-rounded and rather advanced. I love that they include foreign language, music and art throughout the day in various activities, so it's all blended. Also really liked the fact that their teachers are professionals and that they partner with several local organizations to offer in-school activities (Nashville Zoo, Nashville Ballet, etc.). Security was one of our main concerns, and they've definitely invested in that area, so it's much easier for a first time parent to feel their child is safe. All in all we're really glad we found them!
