My daughter loves to go there and has even enjoyed everything Barbara has taught her! Her grades have never been better and Barbara takes the time that is needed to make sure my daughter understands what is being taught before moving on to the next thing. She has really built up my daughters self esteem! We are sticking with Barbara/SpiderWebb until my daughter graduates! Much thanks to Barbara for providing a very comfortable atmosphere, as it's a relief to know that my daughter is in THE BEST of hands! What a wonderful lady she is and is the apple of my daughters eye! I am forever grateful! Thank you Barbara!!

Thank you, Linda-mood Bell. Could only rate 4 out of the 5 stars because the price is way too high for the service. Also, you can't opt to do only a portion of the suggested hours. If a program is good at 120 hours, it must have some benefit at 60 hours. Lastly, online hours should be half the price of in-person hours.

This school has not provided me any proof that they actually helped my son. They lied to me and…read morestarted my son off at a pre k level and in 8 weeks managed to work to a 2nd grade level. I asked them about the material each 2 weeks and asked what grade level it was applied to. They stated it was not applied to a grade level. However at the end of 8 weeks, $30,000 later I paid them, the director Liz tested him and told me he improved " TWO GRADE LEVELS". Having done testing on him prior to starting this program, that would have meant he went up to 7th grade and I was happy. Only until my education lawyer discovered they meant 2nd grade, and told me they did nothing for my son, to obtain a lawyer and proceed for fraud against the school. This school will ignore your questions, or issues. They will not reply to you after they think they have made their justification. They will not offer you a refund after you have proven their program didn't work. They will try to talk you into more testing done by them, and doing their academy which is $80,000 a year. This has been the most hurtful experience I have ever had with a company that claimed they could help my son, and did nothing but lie.

We never thought about having a college or education coach for our children, and when I was…read moreintroduced to Shelly; I knew instantly that her knowledge, support, and expertise were something that would allow our children to be receive an optimal experience but also a resource that would allow us the space to let them work through the process to create their own experience. As we have been out of school for a number of years, the process we used was quite different and Shelly helped our children and us to keep things prioritized, scheduled, and guided so that applications were completed on time, tests were completed, assessments were completed, and our children could explore their own concepts of education with the aide of a trusted resource. We have used Shelly for the support and success of all three of our children as they have prepared for their transition to university. She has helped us successfully navigate the channels of the military academies for our oldest who was accepted to West Point. She helped our daughter find the perfect program, school culture fit, and swimming program at Seattle University. She is currently working with our youngest to help him to find his perfect home for his undergraduate studies. Shelly is the perfect third party resource to help guide your child while creating an authentic experience that is unique to their skills, academic desires, athletic gifts, and school experience. I knew nothing about having a coach for college and what I can tell you now, is that I have NO IDEA how you don't have a coach for college! Shelly made the experience literally blissful for children and parents alike.

Words really cannot express the gratitude we feel for Shelly! For two years she provided excellent…read moreguidance and ongoing support for our daughter as she navigated the complex, and sometimes daunting, college application process. Shelly provided frank advice, created manageable timelines, and held our daughter accountable to those timelines. She was always available to answer questions or to address any "crisis" issues that we encountered. Shelly cares deeply for her clients, and is committed to their success. She lifted our daughter up and encouraged her when she felt overwhelmed or frustrated, creating the right environment for our daughter to feel confident and proud of all of her applications. With Shelly's help, our daughter received multiple scholarship offers - but most of all, Shelly helped her achieve her goal of getting accepted into her dream college!

Do not send your children to the Sewall inside of strive prep ruby hill!! The whole site went…read moredownhill since they got a new director. My daughter been going to this site since she was 2 &1/2. She graduates this year. They have staff there who aren't properly trained and or have no experience. They have been on probation for their childcare license since November of 2018. My daughter almost died in their care. Yesterday on April 8th 2019, I arrive to get my daughter during nap time , and I see white stuff by her mouth. I assumed it was food. As I'm pulling, it's getting stuck and I sit her up immediately only to pull a wad of tissue out her mouth. (Will post a pic) when I arrived both Jillian and Dalena were on their cell phones. (This is a licensing violation) I asked why there was tissue paper in her mouth while she was sleeping. Not either of them could answer my question as to how it got into her mouth and why it was there or how they didn't catch it was in there. Maybe they didn't catch it because their faces were stuck to their phones. I showed Jillian the tissue she kept saying "I'll get rid of that, hand it to me" I refused to hand it to her. She was eager to get it and dispose of it. Furious to not getting answers I grabbed my daughter and left. When I got home I immediately called the manager Heidi, she was unavailable so I left a message regarding my concerns. She did not call me back. I spoke to some girl named Mary, she contacted me back. Told me she'd contact Jillian and get back to me, which she did. But she was no help, very unprofessional and ignorant to the whole situation. She did not care that my daughter could've choked and died. She told me in her exact words "Jillian didn't know how it got there and was on her phone doing some work related things" I asked "how can we prevent something like this happening from the future to ensure my daughters safety?" She said "we're going to continue doing what we're doing, we not doing anything wrong" I was so appalled and humiliated for her. She obviously doesn't have training. I said "excuse me?" She said "this is just where we're at right now" "if you don't feel like your daughter is safe why send her here" I was in so much shock and disbelief that she said that. I responded "you think this is just going to be swept under the rug like it's no big deal? My daughter could've choked and died in her sleep" she said "it's just where we're at right now" I responded "if I have to take my daughter out for a safety concern that could easily be fixed I'm gonna go above and beyond to make sure you're facility gets closed down" "I will NOT allow you guys to treat me like I'm wrong for wanting a plan in place when it come to my daughter safety" I have requested a meeting with Heidi in person, let's see if she gets back to me. I would NEVER want any parent to go through what I went through and be treated the way I have!! I will NOT STOP UNTIL I GET ANSWERS AND CLOSURE. They need to be held accountable for their staffs action. Oh and the sad part, the director was in the class and still couldn't provide answers. They need to retrain their staff or throw them all away and start over. No innocent child should be in a position where they are not cared for, watched properly or safe. Will keep you guys updated once I meet with Heidi and let you know if I get this situation handled properly. I refuse to pull my daughter out. She deserves to be part of graduation like anyone else!! It's not her fault the staff isn't trained properly and have their faces stuck to their phones!! Stay tune for update.

She absolutely loves it, and has progressed so much due to the care and attention she receives from her teachers. She loves going there every morning, and is always happy when we pick her up. We get good, consistent feedback from the staff there, and they genuinely seem happy to see our daughter each day. Also, the new location at 10th and Fillmore is so nice! The 1 star reviews for this place are not accurate at all in our experience, so please be sure to give these guys a try.

The staff is very contentious and dedicated to each individual child's development. The Montessori work is age-appropriate, engaging and instructive. There are also ample opportunities for gross motor development and free play. As a working mother, the highest praise I can give is that I never worry about my son at MAC. I know he's in good hands, well cared for, challenged to be independent and to learn, and is a happy camper when I pick him up.

Also, I have two witnessed instances where my child was jerked/yanked/twisted by his arm by two different primary teachers for minutes at a time, so we quickly felt that we were lucky we departed when we did. When I brought the issue to admin's attention, they seemed appalled and talked of having a "body safety course" offered to their staff. Nothing ever came of it. Total Mom fail for spending $60k over the course of 2.5 years all for a program that promised us the world but delivered to us a sad, distrusting little boy who lacked any self confidence. I am very happy to report that 8 months later, we have rebuilt trust with our son, and he is thriving without being swallowed by constant negativity and abuse.

She has grown so much for being a student here. The teachers are all simply put; amazing and I trust them wholeheartedly. The director of the school is always reachable and always proactive if I have any needs or concerns. I highly recommend the school and I'm grateful that my daughter was accepted here. I wanted to do a follow up; after 2 wonderful years, my daughter now attends kindergarten. At her first parent teacher conference, her teacher let me know that she was very advanced and doing extremely well and that Sunflower Montessori had prepared her well. Again I can't say enough positive things about Sunflower Montessori and would highly recommend it.

Our son started here at 12 months, so there was a little transition period (a few weeks), but quickly after he was thriving and I can tell that he genuinely loves going to school. No tears, just excitement to step into the classroom and start his "Montessori work". I also love how much they prioritize time outdoors and independence.
