My daughter is finishing her second year at Hagerstown Children's School, and she has learned so…read moremuch! She has been reading since she turned 4 and can talk with authority about her favorite planets, dinosaurs, and continents. She is very independent, so the Montessori model of "follow the child" is a good fit for her. This year she began to manifest some struggles with emotional and sensory regulation, and her teachers (Ms. Susan and Ms. Allie) and the staff (Ms, Heather and Ms. Brenda) have been very patient, supportive, and creative as we work on these challenges with them and other caregivers. We are so grateful for their love and concern for her wellbeing, not only now but in preparing her to move into public school for kindergarten. Thank you, HCS!

From the Administration to the Teachers and the new amazing facility, you will not be disappointed. Our girls have been attending HCS for a total of 5 years. HCS has done a wonderful job preparing them for kindergarten as well as nurturing the life skills they need to be independent. Take a tour today, your children are going to love it here!

The teachers are experienced and dedicated. The environment is warm. Could not have asked for better! I have an older daughter who went to a local Goddard and I feel bad she didn't get this experience.

Absolutely blown away by the care and support shown at GVMS. My child loves it here and it's been…read moreso wonderful seeing her flourish under the care of professional Montessori trained teachers and grow her independence and interest in academics! I really believe in the Montessori method and what it can do for children. She started at 2 years old and attended until she was 5. All of the staff are very hands on and there's such a community that feels safe and inclusive. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a Montessori experience for their child

I enjoy helping the teachers with copies and laminations as needed and the children really enjoy having moms participate in some of the classroom activities. I appreciate the fact that parents that have the opportunity are encouraged to play a part in the classrooms and not always take a backseat in their education.

They definitely developed independent thinkers and leaders. The world out there is so harmful and if any parent have the opportunity to develop their children's dependence and leadership they can alway take care of them self . My son is a wonderful example of what the school have done for us - he was placed in a soccer class with kids 10-12 and he carry himself in such a great way - I. Am so proud of him. Meadows make this all possible . My daughter when she started 1 grade she was such a good student ( reader) the school created a reading class that included her as the only 1st grader. I have so much to say about this school and it is all good . If you are planning on sending your kids to school you will never be dis- satisfied with the quality of work and care these teachers provide. If you are a parent that do not require any structure for your child this school is not for you. But any parent who want the best for their children, MEADOWS would be the perfect place. WB

As a parent it is difficult to be separated from your child. Meadows has done an extremely good job…read moremaking sure not only I have felt comfortable (even welcoming me with open arms to come in and breastfeed during the day) but most importantly my daughter. She started as an 18 month old she was in the height of her stranger danger era, yet she opened up within 1 day and created bonds with her teachers and friends. I get updates throughout the day including feedings, diapers and even photos of her having the best time with her teachers and classmates which really put my worrying mom brain at ease. Meadows is an exceptional facility full of nurturing, loving and engaging staff/ teachers! I wouldn't want to put my most precious gift in the hands of anyone else.

Let me first start this review by saying I love the staff in the office. They all have great…read morepersonalities and they do go that extra mile when need be. But the cafeteria staff on the other hand is horrible. In 2013 we found out my son is allergic to milk not lactose intolerant but allergic to milk. I filled out the paper work all is well. But my son has stomach aches, throwing up and was admitted in the hospital. I go to the school put money in his account and tell the lunch attendant he can not have milk is that in his account she says yes. 2014 I go to have lunch with my son,why does my son have pizza? I go to the lunch attendant at the register and tell her about him being allergic to milk again. My son barley eats cafeteria lunch he packs but once in awhile he wants to buy lunch and he should be able to. Today I decide to go have lunch with my son and guess what he brings to the lunch table pizza! I was beside myself I go to the lunch attendant she apologizes and says she saw the allergy pop up but he picked pizza wth he is 7yrs old. I go to the office talk to someone in the office she emails the person in charge of updating kids allergies, walks to the cafeteria with me we look up my sons lunch account and it says allergic to milk, yogurt. The lady in the office was truly worried and did what she could do asap she even left my contact info so I could be contacted. I received a call from the lady who updates our children's Allergies and She doesn't seem to realize how important this is my son was in the hospital. His organs were enlarged , they could of shut down. All she can say to me is get a doctors note, why wasn't I informed about this in 2013 it's 2015 lady. I ask for the information of the person above her she goes right pass that by apologizing. I don't want apologies I'm past that point I want results. I have so many Dr bills from blood test just to be told it's because he is digesting milk somehow. Yeah he was digesting milk at school. I trust these people with my child and what does the cafeteria attendant do who see"s the screen that says allergic to milk, yogurt she lets him get pizza. Not once,not twice three times. I'm not stating anyone's name because they have a right to privacy but I'm defiantly upset I've been more that nice this is serious this is my child's life. I'm giving one star because of the cafeteria and their incompetence behavior. This is not a reflection of the school and office staff they are wonderful.

I was always intrigued by…read morethe montessorie approach to learning, but was hesitant because it lacked the real world aspect. However, BELA combines both the montessorie approach with the traditional approach (best of both worlds). They have some of the most dedicated teachers (who are all certified). And in addition to that, the school sits in a 54 acre campus, so the kids get to hike and do all of the outdoorsy stuff. This pre-school is aimed at those who want the best for their kids without breaking the pocket. The prices are very competitive and the kids get the ultimate experience. I can't wait until my little one is old enough to attend.
