This is an update to my original review as of 5/16/2024…read more Miss Bloomingdale's continues to be such a great school for our youngest daughter. She is now 5, and in the Pre-K/Kindergarten program, and just loves all her teachers there. Miss Chere is clearly one of her favorites. And even though she is not in Miss Chere's class anymore, she always wants to make sure I take her to Miss Chere's classroom so she can say hi to her and give her a hug. But all the teachers continue to be great. And Miss Bloomingdale's as an institution is really an excellent value. For the combination of care, education and tuition rates...they are well worth it. And it's evident that they do the best they can to keep their tuition rates as reasonable as possible while still being able to provide a quality education and stay in business in this highly competitive environment. This is a locally-owned, family-run business that I'm proud to support, and I genuinely feel they have been overall a better fit for our family than other daycares/schools in the area that are most likely cookie cutter franchises -- and more expensive.

When it comes to Miss Bloomingdale's Academy, I get extremely emotional. It's more than a daycare;…read moreit's a place of trust, comfort and relief. From day 1, the staff has shown a nervous and at times, an overprotective mother that this was the right place for our son. Little things such as walking into the building, and EVERY staff member that you encounter says good morning to your child and addresses him by name (yes, even people that are not/nor has been his teacher); it gives you a sense of family. Miss Bloomingdale's molds your child into a well-rounded individual. The focus on learning and development - 5 stars; athletics (swim, soccer and dance classes are offered ONSITE) - 5 stars. Learning good manners and respect - 5 stars!!! The teachers and staff - 5 stars. Had we not moved, my son would without a shadow of a doubt would still be there. In fact, I was more emotional and torn up about him leaving. Thank you Miss Bloomingdale's for the huge impact you've had on my family. Will forever be in our hearts!!!

She sends many updates and a summary of their day. She is available to speak anytime if needed. And she is very patient. She also gave a presentation along other guides about child independence which was very helpful. Mrs Emily, the director is very nice helpful. Grateful for these people.

A lot of things happened at this daycare. We started when my child was 3-months old. One evening, I…read morewent to pick her up, and they said she had been crying, and they couldn't figure out why. When we got home, her bottle from her diaper bag was still full so I checked the log: she went from 12:30pm to 5:30 pm without drinking formula. When she got a new teacher, she had diaper rash almost daily, and it was serious, as in welts. Her teacher denied any problems, like maybe there was something emotionally wrong with the teacher. I attended the observation session and watched this same teacher push my child down backwards to the ground. Something was quite wrong with that teacher in particular. The lack of care and experience on the teachers' part got me thinking about Montessori in general. I don't think Montessori is a good choice for us. The atmosphere seemed bleak and only functional learning was being address, no character formation (which also seemed lacking with the staff). They didn't celebrate Christmas either. Bleak and dark. We go somewhere else, and at the new place, parents are allowed inside the building and can peek in the hallway windows to the classrooms as they watch their children continue to play and respond in delight as they see their parents have arrived.

This is by far a complete 180 from the previous daycare we were at. The children (no matter what age) look very happy being there. I highly recommend this school!

After quickly adjusting to his new routine, my son has since remained enthusiastic to go to school. Ms Puja, the experienced director, and Ms Erica were so patient and understanding with my multiple calls, emails and texts checking in on my son in his first couple of weeks. We knew our son was in great hands from the start. My son enjoys all of the engaging activities his teachers provide each day. His language has expanded in just weeks and he's singing songs at home. I have experience as an early childhood educator and I am in awe of all of the experiences and opportunities to learn that they are providing to my 1.5 year old each day. I know that he will continue to grow and learn here for years to come and he will, most definitely, benefit from his time here at HMA. When I pick my son up each day you can see the love he has for all of his amazing teachers and the staff at HMA and I can see that they know and care for my child and all of the children in their care. He blows kisses and grins to each teacher when we leave and it melts my heart. If you are anywhere near this location and looking for a home away from home for your child, as well as a place that will foster their growth and development with love and patience, I'd highly recommend that you tour HMA. When I visited HMA I knew it was a special place and I am grateful to send my son there each day because of the amazing staff.

This review is about the church itself…read more Lighthouse Baptist Church is a great church. Pastor Grice is different than the other Independent Baptists in the area, because... 1. He believes the Bible which teaches salvation is by grace through faith. (You may think they all believe that, but most of them add works to salvation by wrongly defining repentance.) 2. He is dynamic and entertaining. 3. He genuinely cares about individual people and wants what is best for them. He is a true friend.

My children also have experienced transitioning from one environment to the next due to age and readiness of skills. Here's a few examples of what I love about my children attending Park Cities Montessori in their crucial early years of life. The skill set of building concentration on one activity and putting it away before moving on to the next is huge. It teaches a sense of order, helps build patience and perseverance within a task, as well as learning how to take turns and wait until the work becomes available. No matter what activity the children engage in, there is a focus on the process and the beauty of slowing down. There is also ample opportunities for the children to experience nature. There is the crucial benefit to circle time and singing with one another and building camaraderie with one another as a class family. Zero screen time is a huge piece of what makes PCM great because it encourages children to use their imagination and engage in exploration when boredom arises. The practical life skills that my children have developed is incredible. When out in public, the amount of strangers that compliment the table manners our children have at such a young age is a testament to the time they spend at PCM. We put the work in at home, but it is with the guidance and advice from PCM that has led us down such a successful path. Plus it's super cute to see our 20 month old walking everywhere he goes with his hands behind his back. Finally, one irreplaceable quality that PCM staff demonstrates is the love they have for each of their children. My son was enrolled in Nido from 9 months old- 18months old. His bond was so strong with his Nido teachers that after he transitioned to the toddler environment, he would constantly want to show them the new things he was learning and show off his new glasses. The staff always made time for him and made him feel seen, even at a young age. My daughter started in the toddler environment when she was 2.5 years old and transitioned to the Children's House environment a month before she turned 3. Changing environments was worrisome because she was going to be part of a larger class with new teachers and it's always hard to start anew. However, she was always filled with joy and looked forward to going to school. She would get sad when the week was coming to an end and I know that's because of the love she had from her teachers and the love of learning they instilled in her. I cannot thank these ladies enough for everything they have done for my children. I also have a unique perspective being a toddler teacher at PCM and have grown very attached to my class of children. We learn all kinds of skill sets together from putting on our shoes independently, to what it means to listen and create friendships with each other, to learning endless vocabulary, as well as learning how to navigate through big feelings with one another. The children have become a part of me and will forever hold a special place in my heart. Tears fill my eyes as I write this review because I'm so grateful for Park Cities Montessori. Do yourself a favor and get on the waiting list- fast. You do not want to miss the opportunity for your children and family to join an incredible community.

After meeting the director Carolyn and her teachers, we knew immediately we made the right choice. PCM has become a second home to our children and the teachers have become surrogate parents to our girls while we are working. They have both grown leaps and bounds over the two years they have been there. Reading, writing, vocabulary, independence, confidence, practical life skills - academically and emotionally I couldn't be more thrilled with their progress and I credit PCM with fostering all of these qualities in a loving and positive environment. Reinforcing kindness, independence, and friendship with classmates, I couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for them and will be very sad when we have to move on to kindergarten! Highly recommend this wonderful true Montessori school!
