Doctor Taylor was engaged, explained the injury and what I needed to do to regain mobility in my hand. The nursing staff was very supportive & I felt like I was in good hands. On follow-up I met with Jonathan & he was also superb. Asked questions, and made a number of suggestions that I think will be very useful. Jonathan thought to ask about other potential injuries from the fall to look out for - I'd banged my knee pretty hard, but it had been kinda neglected. Good experience all around (except for the accident part).

I have nothing but good things to say about this daycare.

Even if she's not there he enjoys Miss Brooklyn as well, she's really nice and sweet to the kids. Denise is been really helpful since the beginning till now so if there is something I can say about her is that, she's really nice and she always responds quick to my messages and concerns.

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with this Montessori school. The teachers and staff…read morehave been amazing with my 4-year-old daughter and truly care about each child's growth and well-being. I've seen such a beautiful transformation in her confidence and independence--she loves doing things on her own and is so proud of herself. Academically, she has learned so much, from counting and early math skills to language and practical life lessons, all taught in a way that feels natural and engaging. The Montessori approach has helped her develop not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. I am beyond grateful for the patience, encouragement, and love they pour into their students every day. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing, structured, and empowering learning environment for their child.

"Teachers" are not qualified in that they do not hold teaching certificates and Montessori training…read more for at least 50% of the staff is an online do it yourself 6 month max, no oversight, as opposed to the traditional Montessori certified training that takes 1-2 years and has practicum experience. I personally witnessed multiple incidents of rude teacher interactions with children as opposed to what one learns in childhood development courses and Montessori training. It does not appear that there is a proper phonics or Montessori math curriculum in place for younger children. Looking at pictures and guessing at words is not reading! Bullying is permitted depending on the interconnected relationships of staff and parents of affected children are told 'nothing happened' even in the face of reality.
