After having my kids attend for many years, we've consistently been pleased with the education they receive, along with the personal, hands-on approach that comes from being a smaller school. One of the things we value most is how much the school supports character building. Both of my children have grown not only in their learning, but also in their confidence, values, and overall development. The small class sizes allow for meaningful attention, and the personal relationships students form with teachers and the head of school, really make a difference. My wife and I would highly recommend anyone taking the time to check out the Golden Hills program. It's a phenomenal school experience.

Our children have always been treated respectfully and kindly while receiving an exceptional education. Their education extends beyond the standard curriculum to art, music, grace and courtesy.

If you're considering Montessori schools, look in to what a true Montessori classroom should look like before you start touring. You wont be disappointed with Sundance!

This preschool's website has misspellings and incorrect grammar on almost every page and some…read moreparagraphs failing to make any sense at all. I implore the site mgr to correct this above all things - this is a school for heaven's sake. I have info packets from four local Montessori programs laid out in front of me and not one mirror such strict and dare I say prestigious policies. Sundance has mandatory "volunteer" hours or you must pay an "opt out" fee. A very unfriendly withdrawal policy (Note a 30 day notification necessary - not including weekends and holidays, holidays which are not counted although you pay for might I add. This is just one among a very long, twisting list of roadblocks to getting your money back). Also the most expensive registration, materials and app fees of any Montessori in the area as best as my research can tell. The absolute clincher for me is the application process. I'm afraid with no other Montessori do they project such a prestigious attitude about "invitation" requirements to register after teacher/director/parent/child interviews and nonrefundable fees, of which it's stated constantly "is not a guarantee of acceptance." What could possibly be on a toddlers application that would constitute refusal? I can only conclude they are judging in other areas of which I do not dare to guess. After researching this school I come away with an impression of a historic university including their policies and prices. This is PRESCHOOL after all. Ever so sorry about the negative review. I would like it known my review does not impose opinion upon this institution's teachers, their abilities in their profession and/or dedication to it. My issues rely on the business sector of this preschool only. I invite members of staff here to contact me and correct any of my misconceptions.

Most tutors and programs were all about speeding through problems, prepping for SATs, or just getting homework done--very commercial, not what we needed. Then we discovered David at Great Power, and it was like finding gold. His approach is incredible--he believes every kid is unique and tailors everything to their curiosity and potential. If you go through his webpage, that's exactly who he is: passionate, thoughtful, and dedicated to inspiring kids. Talking to him, we were blown away by his patience, his deep knowledge, and how he explains things so simply yet profoundly, whether to a five-year-old or a researcher. His storytelling style hooked my son instantly. Three months in, David's roadmap and the way he answers every question with care have made learning a joy for our son. We're super excited for the next math journey with him--he's truly the best! If you want a tutor who gets kids and inspires them to grow, David and Great Power are hands-down amazing!

Beyond the outstanding academics, my daughter has thrived socially and emotionally under the guidance of amazing, caring teachers and school staff who always go the extra mile. The school community (teachers, administrators, and families) pour so much time and resources into making the school an amazing place to be, through fun events, educational field trips, and engaging curriculum. I was so nervous when we first started because we had been at the same daycare downtown since my daughter was 4 months old and to have to start at a brand new school where we knew nobody felt daunting. I was so relieved and surprised to find that by the end of her kindergarten year, my daughter had friends and I had found a great group of parents who I felt at home with. Del Dayo got a new principal in 2025 and the transformation has been amazing. The teaching staff are thriving, she makes it her goal at the start of every school year to know every student by name and they are always excited to see her, and the lines of communication with parents are always open. You can tell she really loves the job and the school and that makes a world of difference. Students can test for the Rapid Learner program at the end of 1st grade and honestly, we didn't even bother testing for it because we love the school so much and wouldn't want to leave.

The academics are excellent, and our kids have been supported and encouraged throughout their time here. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the kids. We have had teachers reach out in the evenings and even on weekends simply because they sensed something might be off and wanted to check in. That kind of care means so much as a parent. We are also incredibly fortunate to have an involved PTO that works closely with the school to provide additional opportunities and support where it is needed. There is a real partnership between the school and families that makes Del Dayo special. More than anything, Del Dayo feels like a community. Our kids have grown up here, and we have made friendships and memories that will stay with us long after elementary school. We truly could not have asked for a better school, community, or neighborhood for our kids.
