I pick up my children every day better than I left them. From a mom that stayed home with her first child until he was 2. I have never felt very confident about leaving my children under another's care, but I never worry about them at Greensboro Montessori. They love their teachers and their teachers love them. Everything from the curriculum to the manner in which they speak to the children is purposeful and kind. In addition to being well cared for, my 2 children, 3.5 and 1.5, are also learning. My kids have been to other schools and we visited other daycares before we decided on Greensboro Montessori, but none compare. They have a magical formula of learning through exploration and play. They treat children like little explorers and scientists, guiding their play. There is no competitive helicoptery vibe. They simply look for opportunities to tie information into a child's natural exploration. Children explore different "works" rather than cheap toys. They play with sand and water, paint and blocks with the intention of figuring out how we function in the world rather than being "entertained." They also spend a lot of time outside with nature, walking in the nearby woods and gardening which I value tremendously. Children are also encouraged to be independent. Each child is considered at their own level and challenged to do things for themselves in a kind and supportive environment. I was surprised to find when my son started here at 2 all the things that he could do for himself and was eager to do. Everyone needs a purpose and children are the same. This school provides children with a safe and nurturing environment to learn and grow. The school also provides helpful seminars on evidence-based gentle parenting techniques and fosters a real sense of community. There are regular events for all ages and opportunities to participate/volunteer. We considered schools that were more budget, providing diapers and multiple meals and snacks as part of tuition, but none had the level of caring and commitment I feel here. This place isn't simply caring for your children and keeping them alive, but constructively and mindfully creating a complete environment for children to become well rounded, empathic, intelligent people.

Saint Francis is a small but pretty neighborhood church with a pre-school program. While Saint…read moreFrancis people and clergy are encouraging and supportive, they are not aggressive nor are they dogmatic. This is not a "fire and brimstone" experience, but the expression of God's Love for neighbors and visitors. If you enjoy traditional music at Christmas, Easter and Sundays, they have a well-developed music program and welcome new singers to audition for their adult choir. Some previous choir experience is preferred, including high school experience. Contact the choirmaster Sam to find out more. There are many families here with parents, adult children, and friends serving in the Saint Francis' adult choir.The church also has opportunities for children and youth to sing in their own choirs and there is a less formal group of singers and guitar players with a more pop focus. You do not have to be an Episcopalian or Anglican, just friendly ;-) Saint Francis holds a large book sale every year to help fund charity outreach projects in Greensboro. If you like to pitch in with service projects, there are several to volunteer for. Service, music, fellowship all are a part of this church, but no one is ever forced to do more than they want to. If you like a neighborhood church with a traditional feel, you'll enjoy Saint Francis Episcopal.

From the owner: "All are welcome through our doors. We welcome those who have never dreamed of going to church &…read morethose who arrive early for Sunday service. We welcome families with children & those with teenagers. We extend a special welcome to those living through times of transition both in Greensboro & those who prefer worship remotely online. We welcome those with sunny dispositions & those worn thin by the difficulties of life. We currently offer several ways to praise Jesus via in-person Eucharists including holy communion or by virtual worship. If you are looking for a “church near me” or an online service to join in bible lessons & prayer, welcome home. On behalf of all our members, clergy, and staff, we are delighted you are here & welcome you."

After visiting and meeting the staff, we knew it was the right place for us. They helped raise my boy the right way. Then came another child and there was no thought to where she was going for childcare. My children are treated just like I would want each day and they love the experiences they have each day. Would highly recommend.

As a new mom, it was really important to me to find a daycare that met all my expectations. Sure, I…read morehave high expectations, but they certainly aren't unreasonable and I'm sure any mom would agree. Little Mouse playhouse was the first place my husband and I toured. I had heard something good about it so off we went. It's tucked away beside the Target off Lawndale Rd. The daycare is an older style house made into a daycare center. As so, the driveway is as wide as a regular house driveway. This was an issue the moment we pulled in. Another car was leaving, and there's no where to pull to the side because of the wall or the dumpster. Since we couldn't back up into the middle of Lawndale, the other car backed up instead. We rounded the corner and parked in the lot, and then had no idea where to go. There was the main house and then a smaller building on the opposite side. I opted for the house and entered into the back door (or front door, not sure). I called out because I didn't see anyone but didn't get an answer. I walked through the house to a room full of kids. When I say full, I mean packed. It seemed like way too many kids for the room. I stood there for several minutes looking for someone before a teacher noticed me. She directed me to the other building. This was red flag #1. Anyone can walk in there and just walk into a classroom and no one noticed. When I walked out I met my husband outside who was looking up. Up at the roof. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned off in decades. There were bees flying around the entrance and frankly the area was not kept up. Ants were crawling all over the ground. Not exactly what you want to see when you know your child will be all over that ground soon. We walked to the smaller building where the younger kids were, though reluctantly at that point. Upon entering, a teacher was sitting in the classroom with a few children...and her boyfriend. Red flag #2. She pointed to the infant room a few feet away and the room had one of those doors where the top and bottom open and close independently of another. The top was open and I peer into the room briefly. The room was extremely clean and large. But what I noticed instead was a teacher sitting on a mat beside a baby doing tummy time. For those of you who don't know, tummy time should never be left unattended to, especially at younger stages. The teacher was a young lady with her cell phone in hand, scrolling through her Facebook. That did it for me. Even though we spoke to the other teacher in the room, who was professional and friendly, I had already made up my mind. I think it goes without saying we left and opted not to tour the rest of the rooms.
