    Our family enrolled our 2-year-11-month-old daughter at Rowntree Montessori Downtown in September…read more2025 with high hopes. Sadly, within a month, we withdrew her due to repeated concerns about how she was being treated and how the school handled communication. Our daughter went from being confident and joyful to withdrawn and anxious, even having nightmares about being reprimanded and about another child who repeatedly hit her -- incidents we were never informed of until we asked. The school's approach to discipline relied heavily on timeouts, with little emotional coaching or empathy. We were also shocked by some of the principal's remarks, including, "Some parents even hit their children to teach discipline." The environment felt rigid and developmentally inappropriate for such young children. While the school did mention that they do not offer naps, they never explained that they also would not assist in the transition away from them. Although our daughter had already transitioned out of naps before joining, she began struggling again due to the long, structured, and tiring school days. Instead of recognizing this as an adjustment issue, the teachers were uncooperative and placed the blame on us as parents. Ironically, after we withdrew and raised our concerns with the Head of Education, we were told, "You should have told us -- we could have set up a resting corner for her, like we do for other children at our Academy campus." Hearing that after the fact was incredibly disappointing and showed how much miscommunication and lack of empathy there had been. We hope Rowntree Montessori takes this feedback seriously and re-evaluates how it supports its youngest learners. Parents -- please ask detailed questions about teacher qualifications, discipline methods, and communication practices before enrolling your child.

    I am writing about Rowntree Montessori Schools, Sunforest Dr., Brampton…read more One of the worst school I have seen. The atmosphere is so mechanic which mean that they have no idea how to relate with younger kids. They want to build machines and which are followed as it is. Discipline is good but not to the extent it looses any kind of compassion. They don't have enough staff and fees is so high. Everything is charged so high. Parents get feeling that they are sending kids to high tech school initially but its not even a school. It's a machine factory . Its more of a show off school than actual school where you can make mistakes and learn from it and grow. You have to be like a machine to sustain in that environment. Just follow them. If they can not handle you bcz you are not machine, you will be kicked out by making horrible reasons. Bcz they don't have enough staff, they can not pay attention, bcz they can not pay attention, they don't want you. Parents will be made to feel like as if their child has a problem but in reality they have a problem. They don't want to nurture kids and make difference. Their principal Mr. Harris looks gentleman from face and when you talk but in reality he is so cunning. He will talk to you and show your kid has all the problem so you take that kid out of the school bcz kid is not for that environment. I had worst experience with that person where he intimidated us and told that he knows other ways to throw out kid if kid is not taken out by itself bcz kid is not fit for the school and he can do that. He also said no one will question him. Whereas he himself has stage frightness where i have seen his hands shaking while addressing audience in annual day. So that means is he not good for that role? we don't judge people like that but he surely judge kids like that which is shameful and teachers also who does that and report horrible things about kids bcz they themselves doesn't want to take any extra effort. I wont blame them too bcz they are so much under-payed. Schools should be good enough to provide supportive environments to all the kids where they can grow. Kids should enjoy every moment in the school. It should be the safest environment other than their home. Sadly this school is not that and I am happy that we found much better school than this. This school just wants to look lucrative but I ask parents is that what you want ...sending kids to lucrative schools and turn them into machines. They should enjoy their childhood and grow happily.
