My grandchild is spicy and they still managed to work with them and teach them ways to cope with strong feelings while at school. This has trickled down to the home as well. My grandchild looks forward to going to school. The learning experience here is outstanding with each child working on an activity independently during work times. I would recommend Medlock Bridge Montessori to anyone who wants the best first learning experience for their young child.

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!

This school uses the title of Montessori to overcharge for basic day care administration, and its…read moreprimary focus seems to be towards making money. Despite having a tedious number of intake forms asking for dietary restrictions and allergy/medical information, this school will feed your child whatever they want and completely neglect dietary restrictions. I hope your child likes sugar and dairy! Despite the law requiring immunization records for school attendance, this school will neglect the intake of these records until 2-3 months in to your child attending their facility. I hope your child DOES have their vaccines though, because they'll still contract every viral or infectious disease the moment they walk in to this school. And don't worry, this administrative team will promptly communicate absolutely nothing about these known illnesses. Even if you communicate that your child will be out sick for a few days, no one else will be the wiser!! This includes the HIGHLY contagious pink eye as well. Did you pay your tuition in full? Well I'm sure this school appreciates the money! Because it comes with absolutely 0 guarantee that your child has a spot in the class they will hopefully attend for months and months. The moment they decide to give your child's spot away to someone else, you'll know by showing up to check them in and they'll deny you at the door. Thanks for paying in full! Seeing as the principal has no shame in sending her own children around school events to ask other parents to leave reviews so she can raise more money for this school - and that's a direct quote when being handed a QR code to leave a review - - despite the abundance of children and families who all pay to attend - it seems clear this organization is a thinly veiled cash grab hiding behind the Montessori name. I would highly recommend you consider other schools in the area. This one has been 3 months of wasted money. I've either been taking care of my own child due to these sick policy failures, my child's spot being given away and the "class is already full today", or because the school is literally closed for a full week like once a month.

Not…read moreonly is the school more affordable than most early childcare providers (and certainly less costly than any other Montessori programs in the area which are known to be quite expensive), but the quality of education is top notch. Prior to enrolling here, our son attended a language immersion school. The first year, he had an amazing teacher and made great progress socially and academically. The next two years, however, he began to regress due to high teacher turnover, inconsistent instruction, and a 13:1 student-teacher ratio that wasn't conducive to much individualized attention. The 6:1 class size at Tree of Life has allowed my son to get lots of 1:1 time with his teacher. In addition, the mixed-age classroom, which is a staple of Montessori education, has provided my son with the chance to learn from older students. Moreover, the student-led, choice-based instructional approach, which is also a key feature in Montessori classrooms, has provided my son with ample opportunity to explore his interests while developing independence, confidence, fine motor skills, and intellectual curiosity. A mathematician and Montessori certified educator, Marla understands the stages of child development, and the value of high rigor and hands-on kinesthetic learning. Her classroom management style is firm but fair, and her guidance has informed some of the ways my wife and I support our son at home. Marla has a genuine appreciation for multi-cultural education. She regularly teaches about other cultural traditions like Holi, Kwanzaa, and the Chinese New Year, and invites special guests (including parents) to enrich the classroom experience by sharing their unique talents and traditions. Marla sends an update (both written and via FB group) on what was taught each week and what is forthcoming, is very responsive to email and text messages, and takes multiple measures to ensure her classroom is clean and safe (i.e., locked door, classroom cameras, optional masking, temperature checks, etc.) If an affordable Montessori education, in a small, in-home setting, with a highly skilled and caring teacher is an ideal learning environment for your child; and if an 8:30-4pm pickup works with your schedule, I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tree of Life Montessori. It's a wonderful place!

I picked this school mainly because it was so close to my work, but ended up loving the school. Marla is very serious about teaching, very responsible, and dependable and I can feel very comfortable leaving my daughter every morning. She has only up to 6 kids in her classroom and each child gets plenty of her attention. Only thing I did not like much about was the long nap time...she had a difficult time sleeping at night. A few years after we moved out of Atlanta, we visited the school because I had a conference. She welcomed my daughter for the week that I was staying in Atlanta and she loved being back in the school.

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!)
