I was a loyal family with this daycare for three years and always paid tuition on time and in full…read more Unfortunately, my experience at the end has been extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I have not received my deposit, which has been owed to me since August. The daycare has cited bankruptcy as the reason, but since then there has been little to no communication, no updates on the status of my funds, and I have essentially been ignored whenever I follow up. After doing some research, I learned that I am not the only one affected. Other families have also not received their deposits, and there are even teachers who have not been paid. This raises serious concerns about how the situation has been handled. It is incredibly frustrating and disheartening to be treated this way after years of loyalty and reliability. If you are considering enrolling your child here, proceed with extreme caution. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise against trusting your money--or your peace of mind--with a business that is clearly struggling and failing to communicate or take responsibility. Do not sign up with this daycare.

My family could not be happier with Guidepost Montessori Duluth! The directors snd teachers are…read morewarm, patient, and truly dedicated to nurturing each child's growth. The Montessori approach here is outstanding--our child is not only learning academically but also developing independence, confidence, and a genuine love for learning. The classrooms are beautifully set up, safe, and full of engaging materials that spark curiosity. Communication with the staff is excellent; they keep us updated and are always responsive to our questions. It's clear they put the children first in everything they do. My granddaughter looks forward to going every day, which says it all. We are so grateful to have found this school and highly recommend Guidepost Montessori Duluth to any family looking for a supportive, enriching, and joyful environment for their little one. ~NKelly

We're blessed to have Creme as our son's first school to shape him into a lovely individual and prepare him into an even bigger adventure. Can't wait to return for summer camps.

Extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience…read more We enrolled our child in this school based on very specific promises: a low student-to-teacher ratio (two teachers for every ten students), qualified early childhood educators, consistent staffing, freshly prepared meals and snacks, and support with developmental milestones such as potty training. Unfortunately, none of these promises have been fulfilled. Staffing has been a constant issue. The promised ratio is routinely ignored, and there is rarely any consistency in caregivers. Teachers rotate constantly, and on several occasions the individuals filling in were not teachers at all, but maintenance or housekeeping staff. When asked directly, several attendants confirmed they do not have early childhood development credentials. This level of turnover and lack of qualification is deeply concerning. While I have met some team members who are caring and well-intentioned, positive attitudes cannot compensate for systemic issues and unmet commitments. At the cost charged, parents deserve reliability and transparency, and sadly this school has not delivered that. For this reason, I no longer feel comfortable entrusting my child's care here. Despite several months of attendance, there has been no observable progress in learning or potty training. There is no structure, curriculum, or evidence of intentional teaching. The food offering was another major misrepresentation. We were told meals and snacks would be freshly prepared; instead, children are regularly served prepackaged food. Cleanliness and supervision are the most alarming aspects. The facility often smells strongly of feces. On multiple occasions, we entered classrooms to find babies crying and clearly in need of diaper changes, with no staff attending to them. In one particularly disturbing instance, a soiled diaper appeared to have been left over an entire weekend, resulting in an overpowering odor. During the second week of January, I formally communicated my deep disappointment and my intention to remove my son from the school effective in February. I was informed that a 30-day notice was required. Even so, the concerns that led to this decision were never addressed or corrected. When enrolling my son in a new school and explaining our negative experience and clear expectations for quality and care, the very first question we were asked was: "Is it Crème de la Crème?" That alone speaks volumes. Crème de la Crème's reputation precedes them, and it is clear that we are not the only parents who have reached this conclusion. Other parents have already made the decision to remove their children from the school. This school is expensive, and parents are sold a vision of high-quality care, professionalism, and nurturing attention. What we experienced was the opposite: chronic understaffing, unqualified caregivers, serious hygiene deficiencies, and completely unmet developmental needs. I truly wanted this school to work. Instead, it has become an extremely costly disappointment, and I strongly urge other parents to thoroughly research and ask very specific questions before enrolling their children.

My son has been here almost a year now and we love it. I previously took him to a different daycare…read morethat he could not adjust to, whether it was the teachers, schedule, I'm not sure, but as soon as we took him to core, he completely changed for the better! My son has now been moved up 2 times because of his progression. Before bringing him here, my pediatrician recommended a developmental therapist for him based on his 18 month check up, yet after working with the teachers here, he is beyond his age in speaking and social skills. Every time he moves up a class I get so sad he's leaving his teacher and think there's no way the next teacher will be as good as this one, yet every time, the teachers are exactly what he needs in that stage of development for him. I love that they have a garden, a class fish or similar in most classes, and other amazing learning tools to teach your child about more than just how to play to color. They really teach responsibility and are thorough in ensuring they're receiving an amazing education. If you are looking for a day care that cares about education and fostering healthy parent /teacher/child relationships, please come to core. Your child will love it. (Picture is in the hallway!)

Our kids had previously gone to a Korean daycare and we speak mostly Korean at home for retention, so our kids spoke very little English in the beginning of the school year. Director Ms. Nargis advised us not to worry, as kids can pick up English quickly -- indeed, she was right! By the end of the school year, both kids had learned to speak English decently well, could read simple books, and write simple sentences. My first child went on to Kindergarten and tested out of ESOL. We liked that students work on fundamentals like reading, writing, and math at a desk, but they also have independent play time to choose a hands-on activity around the classroom. They also clean up after themselves. AAIMS has a big outdoor playground for recess and they have weekly Playball time. AAIMS also offers ballet, karate, tennis, table tennis, and Spanish lessons for those who want to sign up, at a reasonable extra cost. AAIMS holds events to highlight the various cultural backgrounds of the students, which we really appreciated. Overall we're very thankful for the intellectual and emotional growth we've seen in our kids!
