Esta escuela es sin duda la mejor escuela Montessori para nuestros hijos…read more Desde el momento que entré a esta escuela pude sentir algo muy positivo y especial. Fue una conexión instantánea donde pude sentir que mis hijos estarían en buenas manos. Hay tantas cosas buenas por decir de esta escuela. Empezamos por la directora las Sra Diana, ella está haciendo un excelente trabajo en esta escuela, desde la selección de los maestros y ayudantes en general, la programación, organización, y estrategias de educación adecuada, alimentación etc. Desde le primer momento que conocimos a la Sra Diana, ella fue muy amigable, nos dió un recorrido por toda la escuela, nos presentó a la gran mayoría de sus maestras y personal asistente, incluyendo al personal que cuida a los bebés estas Maestras son muy dulces y amorosas, inclusive días después conocimos a la hermosa y cariñosa persona que cuida de la cocina. La Sra Diana desde el primer momento respondió, todas y cada una de nuestras preguntas, las cuales fueron muchas, ella tuvo esta calma de aún sin saber que eligiéramos su escuela ella respondió con mucho cariño cada una de estas preguntas. Que placer es poder conocer a personas como ella. Sin duda alguna la Sra Diana ha creado un equipo muy bueno, se puede ver que cada maestra, asistentes y personal en general disfruta su trabajo y trabajar en este hermoso lugar. La maestra de mis niños la Srta Feith y su asistente la Srta Mia. Ellas están haciendo cosas muy bien para todos los niños de este salón, ellas son muy amorosas, amables, amigables, se puede ver estos niños son felices allí, mis hijos solo tienen un mes y medio de estar asistiendo a esta escuela y cada mañana para las dos últimas semanas ellos entran a la escuela y van corriendo para su salón, se puede ver su entusiasmo en sus hermosos rostros, para ellos es un lugar divertido, no más lágrimas como vimos en las dos primeras escuelas de guardería donde estuvieron, a pesar de ser "escuelas" en realidad eran más que todo una guardería. Y lo más importante, mis niños están aprendiendo bastante, hemos notado un gran cambio, ellos ahora hablan más, y son más independientes, y conocen muchas más cosas. Hemos sido testigo de su programa de educación, tienes muchas actividades diarias, adicional a esto hay una madre de familia que pasa a los salones y les lee a los niños unos libros, esta Sra que lee estos libros es tan dulce y tuve la oportunidad de asistir a una de sus lecturas y yo disfrute tanto su lectura que literal sentí ganas de regresar a la escuela, cuando ella está leyendo tiene la habilidad de hacer los cuentos tan reales que tu puedes vivirlos. También cada semana tienen un hora de lectura donde los padres pueden asistir y compartir con sus hijos y educadores de este evento, sin duda tiene cosas excelentes y muchas actividades variadas. Eliminando así tener una rutina aburrida. Esta escuela no es solo una escuela Montessori, es una gran familia. Todo el personal cuidan de los niños aún si no son sus maestras directas, están al pendiente de todos los niños. También estamos muy felices con la Sra Teresa, ella es una de las maestra del próximo grado donde mis niños asistieron en el futuro, la Sra Teresa, es un amor de persona, siempre está atenta de todo y al pendiente de que todo esté bien, ella es muy amigable y sociable, y tienen mucho amor para los niños. Me encanta que los niños están en un lugar con tantas actividades y muy importante tienen acceso a diferentes áreas de la escuela, por ejemplo en la mañana salen al patio trasero donde tienen cosas divertidas para los niños jugar al aire libre, luego tienen la opción de usar un gimnasio donde los niños juegan con diferentes juguetes como pelotas grande, legos y carritos y libros muchas cosas más, en este lugar también imparten clases hasta de música. También tienen un área que es un teatro, usado para diversas presentaciones y lecturas. y hay un comedor donde los niños suelen tomar sus comidas y snacks. En si los niños pueden estar en diferentes áreas, evitando así la rutina de estar casi todo el día en 4 paredes. Hasta los horarios de la comidas son buenos, el desayuno a las 9 am, lo cual es perfecto porque los niños en especial los pequeños despiertan algo tarde y tienen la opción de compartir el desayuno con sus compañeros en el aula, y luego tiene snaks y luego su almuerzo, luego otro snack y la cena la toman en casa, lo cual es perfecto. Wao, la verdad yo estoy tan feliz de haber encontrado este hermoso lugar. y estoy tan feliz de ver a mis hijos ser felices y crecer en esta espectacular escuela. Quiero felicitar a la Sra Diana y a todo su personal, gracias por hacer que esta escuela funcione tan bien, gracias por cuidar de nuestros pequeños con tanto amor. Dios les siga bendiciendo infinitamente, están haciendo un excelente trabajo. Mil gracias.

We absolutely love this place! Our little one has been going there since she was 4 months. When we…read moreget there she is so happy, smiling and waving and the teachers.

I am so glad that my daughter goes here, and plan on keeping her at this daycare until she ages out. I was so nervous leaving my daughter at daycare when she was 3 months old and I had to go back to work, but she's now 6 months old and thriving here. I also love seeing the several pictures and video updates daily. Thank you, Beginnings and Beyond staff!!!

The kids are not only learning social skills, the teachers have lesson plans. They are truly preparing your child for school. We get weekly "snapshots" of our kids' activities from the week every Friday. They include photos and brief statements on what the kids are working on that week. Thanksgiving they had a special luncheon prepared for the parents and kids, and the director, Joann, said such heartfelt remarks, you just know they love our kids. They also put together the most adorable Christmas show for the parents to enjoy. We are excited for our son's future with this awesome "school"!

I only have experience with the infant room. I would steer clear of this facility. Julie was the…read moreonly good thing about this place. They had high turnover while my baby attended. I never knew who was going to be there. The sheet they log everything on was incorrect almost every day even after speaking with the teachers and staff multiple times. I asked to watch the cameras on a certain day because the way the sheet was written I was worried my baby got someone else's bottle. Well their camera was down at the time I needed to see. And they constantly try to dismiss any of my concerns saying oh it's a translation issue as the teachers don't speak/understand English very well... Or no that didn't happen it's fine. A teacher wore a ton of perfume and my baby came home with very red cheeks all the time. I asked about it and they said they're allowed to wear perfume and the director was rude when I asked about it. I would think the infant room would be no perfume/lotions because of their sensitive skin and they're being held a lot. (Side note the original director is the reason we chose this facility. New one is not the best.) My child was fed things I did not send without asking me and I only found out about it in passing. They tried to teach my baby to hold their bottle on their own and had them propped up and when I walk in all I hear is them sucking air. I made it clear this was not okay yet it happened multiple times since. A few times I went to pick up and my baby is in an exersaucer with a tablet in front of them while the afternoon teacher cleans...very much not okay. One time they were even doing makeup while he watched the tablet... seriously at 6 months old? I cannot even tell you how often my baby got sick at this facility. I know daycare babies get sick but I was called SO many times to leave work because he was sick again. Our pediatrician told us we need to find a new daycare as they probably don't clean properly. I have friends with babies in daycare and they've been sick but not even half as much as my baby was. They put my baby in a random onsie with nothing else on a few times because they said I didn't have anymore change of clothes.. I showed them the bag with his name on it with 5 changes of clothes in their bin. That room is freezing, not okay. I could go on and on. Overall my husband and I hated this daycare experience and worked it out to where I could stay home. Baby hasn't been sick since and is much happier overall.

By the Montessori method, children have a curriculum developed and guided by their natural…read moreinterests and what they choose to work with each day - BUT, I never had any updates or information about what my son was learning about or how he was progressing. There was NO calendar stating anything relating to curriculum or even themes that may be involved with. Teachers seem annoyed if you try to talk to them. Most of the time, there is nobody at front desk that you can speak with either. Most of the "Assistant Teachers" were very young, seemed inexperienced, and aloof. I had a teacher assistant tell me my son refused to help clean up - so she "took him into the baby room, so he could be a baby". I then went to the director to ask about this, and she denied they would ever reprimand a child in that way. I told her several times that an assistant teacher just told me this - and she just looked at me perplexed. No apology or explanation was ever offered and so this was his last day to attend Springwood. (The reason why I found this whole situation a bit weird - is that the assistants only speak to you if spoken to - and she wasn't going to tell me he was reprimanded until I asked how his afternoon was that day). My son was often dirty when I would come pick him up (VERY dirty face and hands). Literally - dirt smeared on his face. I know kids get dirty but - we all know that washing hands is important to help fight germs and colds. He often seemed very thirsty (and I won't go into the long story of the response I got from his teacher when I asked if she could ask him to drink a bit more fluids). I support the idea of discovery through independent play, but there also needs a balance of thoughtfulness and care - not just in the materials to work with in the classroom. I want to be clear that I like Montessori, and I think this school just has some issues that needs to be worked on. (My son was 3 years old while attending this school, and attended for about 5 months)

But Blossoms teachers and staff welcomed him with open arms, and were patient with him as he adapted to his new school. Now not only is he excelling in Montessori studies, he's also made great friends, loves his teacher, and is excited about going to school everyday. He even gets to take in-house piano lessons, which he loves! We couldn't have found a better place for our little one!

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm writing this review because I feel…read moreunheard and unseen by the director of this facility. I came into BSM needing next-day child care as we were new to the area, and I was unaware that there are a lot more Montessori schools to choose from. I was sent a welcome packet with a set of prices and a "100% Happy Family Money Back Guarantee". When I got there the very next day, the prices had went up. The building seemed sanitary and I liked that the classrooms were nut-free but the outside play area was ONE old plastic, unkept sunburned play set next to a sewage drain and a small concrete sidewalk. There were a few picnics tables on the other side of the field - that's it. I was unimpressed but we are a Montessori household and I wanted child care to be the same. I withdrew my child after ONE DAY, and put her in a different Montessori school in the area that had 4 different play areas for each age group, ample space for riding around and playing with different set ups. I reached out for some sort of reimbursement with an offer to compensate for the 1 day via email and voicemail, never got a response. Long story short, this business is determined to keep $700+ of my money for 1 day -- Jayden has been very condescending and the director is harder to reach than the president. It's flat out wrong to not prorate or refund a customer for changing their mind after 1 DAY!! And it's bad business to not communicate and keep such a substantial amount of money for doing incomplete work. Contract or not, no parent should be forced to complete 30 days of childcare if they are unhappy after 1 day - 100% Happy Family Money Back Guarantee is completely false advertising. *****ADDED NOTE: Parents beware, this school will go to the furthest length to deceive and exploit your money. How could you deceive AND PAY a daycare $700+ to watch your child? A STORM DRAIN in a play area for 1 year olds is a HAZARD. The director was completely unwilling to cooperate before writing this review and offered a partial refund to remove it -- now their claim is defamation after ignoring and denying any communication about reimbursement. They are money hungry and could care less about mothers who have genuine concerns about their child's safety. ALL ACCUSATIONS ARE VALID and we will see whoever is hiding behind BMS IN COURT!!

My 12 month old daughter who barely had teeth and couldn't walk yet was kicked out for biting…read more Their solution was to keep her in crib or being held and not allowed to play or explore. They didn't tell me before implementing. Later found out from one of the teachers that daughter confined to crib. Room was way too small for the amount of infants and very little stimulation. So I think she was acting out. Administration was very in compassionate about the situation. Now my daughter is thriving at another preschool.

I very hesitant when I enrolled him because…read morewell, first time parent and of course feeling that no one will care for your child the way you do. Mrs. Cartegena was the young infant teacher and boy, did she blow me away. She is so attentive and caring, my boy just loves her. We had a great open line of communication, I always knew what was going on with the son and when he was reaching new milestones. Then, he moved to the older infant class with Ms. Hernandez. Another phenomenal teacher! Loving, caring, attentive, and great communication. I never felt uneasy about my child being in the care of either of these teachers, they truly are amazing and love what they do. Even to this day, my baby is now almost 2 and as soon as he sees Mrs. Cartagena or Ms. Hernandez, he lights up! He knows they adore him. Quite honestly, he loves them just as much as they love him. All of the teachers are very welcoming and happy, we are always greeted with a smile

If you're looking for a safe, well staffed and clean daycare/school; you can stop searching. I learned so much from my tour with, Hailey and what I should look for when choosing. The Hive checked boxes I didn't even know I really needed. I spent the first 2yrs at home with my son. I was nervous to have someone else be responsible for him. It's now been 4 weeks here and everyday I'm thankful I found them. The owners are amazing, they're at the Hive daily. The entire staff is actually just as amazing. My entire street has been asking where we go and now they're all looking into the hive. I'm able to drop my son off knowing he is taken care of, that takes a lot off my plate so I can focus on my day.

Their growth -- academically, socially, and emotionally -- has exceeded every expectation. The teacher‑to‑student ratio is exactly what young learners need. Each child receives thoughtful attention, support, and guidance, and you can see the impact in their confidence and development. The campus itself is calm, kid‑friendly, and has that peaceful, "zen" feeling that makes learning feel natural. Update: Our twins are now heading into kindergarten, and the foundation this school gave them is incredible. They're already comfortable with addition and subtraction, reading, and writing -- skills they learned here through hands‑on Montessori methods. We also love how much the school celebrates community and childhood joy. They host trunk‑or‑treat for Halloween, Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas parties, Valentine's celebrations -- all the fun moments kids look forward to. For Mother's Day and Father's Day, the children make the sweetest photo cards holding letters that spell "Mom" and "Dad." Those gifts have become treasured keepsakes in our home. The school even brings in Santa Claus for pictures during the holidays, which our twins absolutely adored. This is a true Montessori school. Don't let other reviews sway you -- our experience has been nothing short of wonderful.
