I like the home setting more personally and wanted my 2 year old daughter to have a more cozy close-knit place to learn and spend her days! My first meeting with Angela I knew immediately I'd finally found "the one"! She was so sweet to my daughter and I the minute we walked in! She definitely loves her job anybody will quickly experience her warmth and passion for kids! I enjoyed her in depth questions and discussion we had about what my goals were for my daughter while she was there. Environment: safe, organized, very well set up kiddy place! So many activities & best of all she has a great schedule and routine she sticks to! I love that she worked on potty training too since we're in the midst! She feeds the kids great healthy home-made & organic foods! Best part on our first day was her midday update to me on how my little princess was doing! She had an amazing day I could tell by her not asking for Mama once on her first day at school. I could go in but I would highly recommend Ms. Angela to anybody! Whether it's full-time or drop in care, I can say you won't regret leaving your precious kiddos in wonderful warm hands!

I was shocked at the school's poor rating so I felt compelled to leave a review. I noticed a lot of…read morethese reviews are quite old and our daughter has started attending the school within the last year. I believe that some changes have been made regarding some of the complaints I see in these older reviews. Most importantly, our daughter loves the school. She is so excited to see her friends and teachers every day. I have never once had any concern that she was being mistreated in any way. When she was younger, we sent her to Bright Horizons daycare which was horrendous compared to NCMA. We get a daily paper report about our daughter's activities and interactions. I do appreciate that the teachers take the time to hand-write these notes everyday but I would prefer some sort of app to save paper and also see photos. The only other thing that I could possibly complain about is the playground for the younger children which, in my opinion, is a little too safe and could use something for the children to climb on and slide down. However, some may not see this as a bad thing. The school uses organic produce and milk (meat is conventional) and we were allowed to see the kitchen when touring the school. Also when touring the school, I was impressed that the director knew every child's name and greeted each warmly. During our tour, we were shown all of the classrooms and I was especially impressed with the infant room which was very quiet and quite different from most other daycares that I have toured with crying babies everywhere. I really liked that sleeping babies were given a quiet area to nap unlike a lot of other daycares where they are expected to sleep in noisy classrooms. Whenever I have had a question or concern, a meeting has been arranged with our daughter's teacher within 24 hours. Overall we are very pleased with NCMA and we are planning on enrolling our youngest soon.

Parents please do not leave your children here. I cannot stress enough how sad it was for me to…read morepick up my son with several unexplained bruises. My son advised me a teacher pinched him. When I brought this to the attention of the staff they were extremely uncooperative. I was advised by the teacher (Ms. Peace and Ms. Lupita) and the administrators (Heather/Caitlyn) they were under strict orders to not access any cameras and only the head of the school could see them. I reported this immediately to the head of the school/owner, Fahima Rouabah, she ignored my concerns and failed to investigate the matter. I received an email from Fahima Rouabah16 days after the incident only to advise me the camera footage had been erased. This was huge red flag for me considering they knew about my concerns on the day it occurred. They showed me an incident report but refused to provide me a copy. Additional concerns for me was the class ratios were completely unsafe - I walked in once to find one teacher with about 20 children. They mislead me to believe they offer organic food but this was untrue as they feed the children lucky charms and raisin bran for breakfast. The head of the school/owner Fahima Rouabah poorly managed this situation and was extremely unprofessional. There was no empathy, urgency or genuine concern for my child's safety. I have file a complaint with child protective services against this facility to look into my concerns and a complaint with the BBB as well regarding my concerns and to demand my tuition be reimbursed. Parents please do not hesitate to contact me directly for any additional questions or to view the photos/emails regarding this matter.

However, our son was unfortunately placed into the care of people who either lack the experience to care for kids, or just don't enjoy doing it. Because of "behavioral issues" our son was told that "he is missing part of his brain" and referred to a quack pseudoscience professional in Addison, TX with the promise that said "doctor" would be able to help. Instead, we spent thousands of dollars on a scam -- at the recommendation of Gabimarie at Breckinridge. Ultimately, we were given a "trial period" of 3 weeks where out son was (finally!) removed from the care of his teacher and placed in another class. During his time in that class, we received no communication that he was acting out, and during every single observational attempt, I could see him focused on his work. At the end of the trial period, we were brought into the office and the owner, Gabimarie, and his new teachers tried to tell us that he was just too disruptive to the class to be kept at their school. We have decided it is best to not fight it and withdraw both children from their care and move onto a better school option. In the end, we loved the kids and parents at this school, but some of the staff and teachers are far more interested in enforcing petty dress code violations than they are attending to the kids needs. Other reviews on here have touched on things we also witnessed. While there are good things about the school that we really liked, the overall experience was so poor that I cannot in good conscience recommend it to anyone. Your children's mental well-being is far too important than to roll the dice with certain staff. Go elsewhere -- the cheap price tag of this place is less indicative of value than it is "you get what you pay for."

Then there are schools where you take your children to not just learn ABC's and arithmetic, but you're fortunate enough to find teachers that truly love their profession and show the care and concern for each child. We have found that at Breckenridge Montessori. When trying to determine where to leave your child for several hours a day, it is important to find out if those that will be with your son or daughter from 8 - 4 (or longer) not only enjoy their profession but enjoy where they are working. The staff at Breckenridge Montessori has been there for years - YEARS - with some being there well over a decade. The love they have not only for where they work but for the children shows each day. I have found the staff very willing to listen to our needs, our questions and our concerns for our child, which is important because we had some unfortunate issues at other schools that did not have the professionalism and level of attention that Breckenridge Montessori has shown us. Our son has flourished - he is learning and advancing in his education exceptionally. As a kindergartener he is doing math and reading well beyond his years and has, most importantly, shown an insatiable appetite to learn - he asks questions and seeks answers, which I attribute to the school fostering in him the desire to learn not just as a ritualistic academic endeavor but as a curiosity about life around him. I do not make recommendations lightly because I think people read these and take them seriously. I will tell you I recommend Breckenridge Montessori without hesitation. Do your child a favor and consider this school for his or her education - in life and ABCs.

Overall I would recommend this school but just ensure you have excellent communication with your child on what happens at school.

I gave 4 star due to small facility and the school closed 3 weeks for Christmas break and we still had to pay for whole month of tuition fee plus lunch money that is not inlcuded in the tuition fee. Keep in mind the tuition fee here is not cheap. The owner insulted me and threatened me to bring down the review because it brought down his overall review or he would kick her out of school. Dig deeper you will find another bad review about this school on yelps, maybe they can't delete it on there! It didn't stop there. A month later after I moved my 4 years old daughter to different school she told me a story at her old school that her teacher told her if she wouldn't eat with her mouth close she would duct tape her mouth under the carport. My blood is still boiling thinking about this school. Save yourself a headache and go somewhere else!

The infant room is really consistent about keeping the same 2 teachers, and very low ratios. Ms Sadia is amazing, and helped me, as a first time mom, to know my child was safe and well cared for. All the teachers here really love the kids, and it's obvious. Her teachers from when she was an infant still say hi to her and want to check in and see how she's doing. The toddler rooms are also great. Most of the teachers have been here for several years, so there's a lot of consistency for the kids. I can't speak to the preschool curriculum, since we aren't there yet, but my child was learning even as a toddler about numbers, letters, colors, etc. Music classes are once a week, with more activities available as the kids get older. Right now, in the summer, we have splash pad days twice a week, which my child always looks forward to. The front desk staff -has- had some turnover the last year or so, but seems to have settled back down. Ms Amanda, Ms Kenya and Ms Aisha are all extremely responsive and are great at resolving any issues which come up. The only thing stopping me from a 5 star review is some of the technology, as we did have some trouble with the Tadpoles reports, but they have recently switched to a new vendor, so hopefully this will improve.

Our daughter Ishanvi has been going to Primrose School at Deerfield since November 2022 when she…read morejust turned 4. It was a lengthy process in choosing her first school and we are very pleased to have chosen Primrose. The school and the staff have been playing a significant role in the development and growth of our daughter. Over time since she joined, Isha loved going to school. Apart from the outstanding curriculum, numerous other activities like Christmas celebrations, Easter Egg Hunt, the annual graduation ceremony, etc., have piqued Isha's interest and made her appreciate the time she is spending in school. It is to be noted that the staff put in a lot of time, effort and energy into the execution of the aforementioned events that they end up being really grand, rich and thoroughly memorable experiences for students and parents alike. The school has also ensured that they strictly meet the dietary requirements of each child. The staff also do a commendable job in communicating with us about the child's daily activities, upcoming events, payment reminders and accommodating many other requests we've made. It has been a breeze communicating with Ms. Corrine, especially, and she has always been prompt, quick and always helpful in her response. Our special mention goes to Ms. Alissa. Ever since Ms. Alissa became the class teacher for Pre-K-2, Isha wasn't just happy but was excited to go to school. We, as parents, could clearly see that Ms. Alissa genuinely cared about the kids in the class, made them all feel inclusive, provided individual care to each one of them and actually wanted them to be happy & comfortable. The very manner she greets the kids in the morning not only brightens their days but ours as well. As we drop off our daughter and drive away in the morning, we feel relieved and at peace knowing that Ms. Alissa is there to take care of our daughter. We also want to thank Ms. Margie (who in Isha's words is a very sweet teacher), Ms. Shilpi, Mr. Alan (whose high-fives instantly cheer up Isha in the morning), Ms. Suzanne and Ms. Heather.
