I went back and forth about whether or not to write this review, but if I could save a family or a…read morechild from going through what mine went through at this school, it is worth it. My son attended this school for only 2 days. The teacher was unpleasant, as asking her a question seemed to bother her. Before we enrolled everyone seemed very pleasant. I watched my son crying on the floor for 15 minutes until she catered to him. That night a injury to his knee that the school said nothing about. After telling the director my toddler would not be attending the school his response was short and didn't seem to have any care. I would never recommend this facility to anyone. Just by observance it seems to be understaffed and the staff perhaps unhappy due to being overworked . But if are looking for a daycare, please avoid this one.

Not a real Montessori school - do research and see all the corruption and issues at other schools…read morerun by this 'family' corporation. Delusional practices that want kids reading and doing math by 3 years old -- again, not a real Montessori. My child experienced harsh teachers and policies such as half day kids forced to stand around and watch the full day kids eat lunch. Even when I said I would pay for the extra 15 minute overlap so my kid could eat lunch, they said no. I ended up picking him up early so he didn't have to be subjected to that. And ultimately quit the school.

Parents beware! I've…read morehad both of my children in this school for over a year. I am writing today to share my experience so that others can learn from what I have seen. This school is not a professional environment because of their lack of communication with parents. They do not give honest assessments of children's abilities, and are too wrapped up in promoting Montessori instead of looking out for the best interest of the child. This environment is not conducive to the child who needs extra reinforcement. They are too focused on the Montessori philosophy to identify into the learning style, and abilities of individual students. After transferring my child to public school I was met with the reality that my child was not prepared academically. This came as a huge surprise because after confronting the teacher and principal about my childs readiness. I was assured that my child was prepared. What an absolute let down, and pathetic disappointment that this school did not live up to its academic integrity. And please do not waste your time on the "fast track" education that this school offers, as it is nothing more than a business ploy. The administration should seriously re-evaluate their responsibility to the community and our children. They have become more of a business instead of being a responsible institution.
