Simply NO! I would not recommend this school!…read more There were many red flags leading up to our first day but I brushed them off due to the convenience of the location and the desire for our daughter to continue in a Montessori program after she aged out of our previous school. To name a few of the most significant issues faced during the 2021-2022 school year: -The assistant teacher left the school within 1 month of working, the hired on assistant left within 2 months of working and the lead teacher left within 4 months of working. (At the end of the school year, I learned 2 more teachers left). This alone should be very telling! -The communication from the owner Katrina was chaotic. We were flooded with nonsensical emails frequently. The policies were always changing. -We prepaid tuition for the year and received confirmation that we "paid in full for the year!" Then during winter break there was a tuition increase and we were asked to pay the difference. This made us question the business management measures Katrina had in place. Why would we ever choose to "pay in full" if it is actually not "in full" and the price is still going to increase for us halfway through the year? -The children in the upstairs class missed over 1.5 months of school (over a 5 month period) due to covid cases. There was no tuition reimbursement for these closures. No other preschool in our area (16 were called) dealt with the inconsistency, the closures, the regulations and/or the protocols that this school had in place. The interpretation of the state wide covid protocol was not in line with the other local preschools and the chaotic nature of dealing with covid/sickness once again made us question the leadership as a whole. When the parents started to question these policies and procedures, families were literally KICKED OUT of the school and their personal items were left on the porch for pickup. More than 1 family left on their own volition, several others were looking at their options at the time of this occurrence. -She attempted to kick our child out via text message because we questioned her inconsistent and ever changing sickness protocol. Our child has had excellent behavior and was never a troubled kid. She simply did not want ANY dialogue regarding her policies. -Upon telling Katrina we decided to pull our daughter out she shared "I was not kidding when I said she can go, her stuff is already on the porch." She never once made an attempt to allow her to say goodbye to her class or receive any kind of closure. -We were told a check for our tuition reimbursement of $3000 was sitting on the front porch of the school with our daughter's stuff in a bag over the weekend (SO INAPPROPRIATE). We told Katrina we were out of town for the weekend and she responded with, "It will still be there on Monday." When we returned to pick up the bag, there was no check. She claimed she "mailed it to us" on two separate occasions. After confronting the situation 3+ times because it never arrived in the mail, Katrina finally sent us a paypal payment for our $3000. A check never was sent in the mail and never arrived. It was straight up dishonesty. It is important to note the director Katrina wanted to retire and she did not plan on being a teacher this year. Though, due to all of the staff leaving she was forced to pick up and teach again mid-year. I am not sure how it was in the past, but at the present moment she demonstrated emotional volatility, impulsivity and most sadly, dishonesty. I understand the year of 2021 was very difficult. We had a lot to deal with regarding the economical and social impacts of covid. However, this does not justify the lack of professionalism, poor business practices, insensitivity to children and transitioning out, chaotic leadership and dishonesty. Keep looking for other schools and good luck.

I have put both my kids through LMS, my youngest is currently enrolled. I have had nothing but…read morepositive interactions with the program director and her staff. My kids both love Katrina, and I have no doubt she cares for them. What I appreciate about Katrina is that she meaningfully engages with the children. She likes to talk to them, and listen to them, and make them feel seen and heard. She gets on the ground and plays with them. I have seen both of my kids make great strides under her care, from understanding basic numbers/letters, to life skills, like confidently putting their own shoes on, and washing their hands before/after meals. Finally, when my 5 year old entered kindergarten this year, she was already reading and writing, which is owed in full part to LMS. I understand there were some safety concerns earlier in the year, but I was satisfied with the way Katrina handled them. I also personally did not take issue with Katrina's conservative approach to the pandemic. At the end of the day, what matters to me is: a) are my kids happy, and b) are they learning? At LMS, I can confidently answer yes to both.

The 1-on-1 session was purposeful and genuinely focused on training rather than a high-pressure sales pitch. I'm looking forward to engaging with this community!

The kids seem to have a lot of fun learning from them.I Also just can't say enough about MJ Shane, the new student Director, who made our grandson feel welcomed and excited. She has a very special way of connecting to the kids, and is a very sweet person. She has efficiently responded to each and every question I would ask from time to time, and thoroughly explained the answers. Yes, they ask for a 9 month contract commitment , and charge $40 per belt test, but it was explained to us upfront, without surprises, and we are okay with that because of the level of professionalism I have seen demonstrated.

Per the suggestion of a friend, we decided to tour A Peaceful Path Montessori (APPM) when our…read morefirstborn was approaching the age to be eligible to enroll. With very little knowledge about the Montessori method, we took a chance and were fortunate to secure a spot for our little one. We couldn't be more pleased and grateful to have not one, but three children under Ms. Julie and Ms. Liz's care. For the past almost six years as APPM parents, it never ceases to amaze me when I ponder how all three of our very different children have blossomed from their time with Ms. Julie and Ms. Liz. I appreciate that the classroom setup, both inside and outdoors, provides many opportunities for the children to develop independence and confidence. They learn to dress themselves, develop vocabulary, tend to the garden and care for a class pet--just to name some examples. Not only have our children learned so much, but so have we. Ms. Julie and Ms. Liz have been models of compassion and nurturing for us. Their parent education sessions have been so helpful and informative. They have led us in learning about the development of our children and how to feed their need for learning and connection by showing us ways to include our children in daily tasks. There aren't enough positive things we can say about this place! We highly recommend APPM to anyone and everyone!

Ms. Julie is extremely knowledgeable and communicates well with parents, I learned a lot from her myself. My daughter is aging out otherwise we would be back next year for sure. I can't say enough good things about this school and recommend it to all parents of toddlers.

We will have our oldest child at this Fisher's Landing KinderCare for 9 years come this fall, our…read moresecond child here for 6 years as he started a few months after he was born. The reason we've been at this specific care center for so long is the staff and how it is run. If there is ever sickness exposure, an injury, something between two kids, etc, we are always made aware via the app and email, we have never hesitated to speak directly with the staff about our children's situation, let alone the Director if we ever felt her input or support would be helpful. Big or small, Director Megan and the staff have taken it seriously, listened to all sides, and made necessary steps to address. It is also our top priority to take our kids somewhere where the staff's priority is safety and making sure the kids are cared for, something we haven't had to question for 9 years. I also appreciate that the areas where we would like to see improvement are really nothing we'd consider a "big deal" or a "make or break". First, we've at times felt there's a bit overcommunication or it is dramatized when a kid isn't "perfect" all day. What I mean is, if my kid pushed my other kid, I do appreciate being informed, but I don't necessarily need a staff member to flag me down with wide eyes and say "it was a rough day" and then proceed to tell me that's why. Other staff, typically that have children of their own, are usually a bit softer on that front, informing us of the situation, how they addressed it, and ask if we have any questions. They don't look the other way, they don't allow it to go unaddressed or let me go uninformed, but it's not dramatized and the first thing I hear when I'm seeing my kids for the first time that day at pickup. Second, KinderCare is not a free-for-all, let kids go at it, facility, however I will say I wish there was sometimes a bit more structure in the School Age classroom. It's a challenge with that many different ages, grades, schedules in one room but I know my kids have done better when it's either summer when there's a full curriculum, or when the classroom goes through projects or other planned activities after school/on short days. The last thing I want to say is while no center is perfect, I just appreciate the heck out of this staff and their Director. Whenever we've heard any wild story from our kids, or our kids are the ones who are at fault, I feel like their team is our partner in finding a solution. They care about each of these kids and are additional cheerleaders for them. Our kid's first teacher at this KinderCare from almost 9 years ago is still a close friend and our go-to babysitter.

We've already had him come home with several art projects and so many pictures of him to look at throughout the day. I have zero concerns about his safety and well being here. I really appreciate that Megan (the center director) is extremely responsive via email and the app. Any little question or concern is immediately addressed. And all the teachers are so kind and willing to talk about my son's day at pick up. So far, I am thrilled about this daycare experience and am looking forward to seeing my son's continued growth!
