We are heading into our 2 yr old daughter's 2nd week at Square One and we couldn't be happier with…read moreher experience with Sarah and Keith. The space is adorable--they had me at the little red schoolhouse--cozy but not cramped, bright, and in a separate building from the owners' home, so the space is entirely devoted to the kids. The nap and imaginative play area downstairs is actually restful and dark, unlike some other home daycares or centers, where cots are squashed into the bright main play space and kids who are not sleeping are making noise in the same area. Meals are civilized and wholesome, and it's so nice not to have to pack lunch and snacks or pay a premium for served meals. The curriculum Sarah uses provides fun early learning experiences and promotes the values we hold dear: learning through play and nurturing relationships with caring, interested adults, a balance of structure and free play, healthy, calm, and social meals, and stimulating experiences involving movement, imagination, art-making, the outdoors, and music. Sarah has been extremely communicative and accommodating, allowing us to bring our daughter to come and experience the program for a couple hours one day before enrolling, and staying in close touch now that she's started there. We feel so lucky to have found this sweet place with such a great mix of the structure one might look for in a center and the personal care and cozy environment of a home daycare.

After touring the school, we believed it would be an excellent fit for our family. We were informed…read moreby David (owner of the franchise location) that the waiting list would be approximately six months. Eagerly, we paid the $150 deposit and looked forward to enrolling our children. However, 12 months later, there was no progress on the waiting list, and we were still told we were "about six months out." At this rate, our kids will be in high school before they're admitted We connected with other local families who shared similar experiences and assumed the school was simply overwhelmed. However, we discovered one family, who happened to be friends with David, and they experienced virtually no wait time to enroll their 3-year-old in the school. Regrettably, we lost our $150 deposit and decided to move on. One point to consider is that the owners, Allison and David, had no early childhood education experience prior to opening this franchise location. On the surface, it appears they run the school more like a business than a service to the community. Think twice before handing over your $150 deposit.

I cannot speak highly enough of the teachers, directors, and curriculum. They are kind, welcoming, and loving towards our children, and I've felt comfortable and confident leaving the kids in their care since day one at the school. My kids are growing and learning so much at Goddard and they are always smiling at the end of the day, and the staff is fantastic with communicating details about their days through the Tadpoles app, as well as through biannual parent teacher conferences and ad hoc conversations at pickup and dropoff. I really feel like they are on a team with me looking out for my kids' learning, safety and happiness!

As concerned first-time parents, we embarked on a thorough search for a nurturing and enriching environment for our daughter, and I couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll her in this amazing preschool.

The premises were immaculate, reflecting the school's commitment to cleanliness and safety. Their well-trained and dedicated teaching staff truly go above and beyond. They possess a deep understanding of the Montessori philosophy, which is evident in the tailored and holistic approach they employ in nurturing each child's development. Their passion for education and child development shines through in every interaction. The curriculum at the Shapes of Tomorrow Montessori Preschool is exceptional. It strikes the perfect balance between academics and fostering independent thinking, creativity, and social skills. My daughter flourished under their guidance, developing a genuine love for learning. The Montessori materials and activities are thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. The communication between the school and parents is exemplary. Regular updates, parent-teacher conferences, and informative newsletters kept us well-informed about our child's progress and any upcoming events. The staff is always approachable and takes the time to address any concerns or queries promptly. Safety is of paramount importance at the Shapes of Tomorrow Montessori Preschool. They have implemented robust security measures, ensuring the well-being of all children. I had complete peace of mind, knowing that my daughter was in capable hands at all times.

The school organizes various events, celebrations, and onsite field trips that foster a sense of belonging for both children and parents.

My child does not go to this school, nor will her ever, this review is based on our tour experience…read morewith the owner Natalie. A couple things that I observed when we arrived. We as prospective parents and to be blunt "strangers" easily gained access to the play area (no security measures to let us in), we we then piled into the Nido room, where there were several babies. We waited with these babies for about 30 minutes before the tour commenced. One baby in particular was left alone in a corner for quite some time, one of the parents touring ended up going over to console the baby. The environment, all wood, all beige. NO COLOR whatsoever, throughout the entire school, Nido, Toddler class and Primary.....bland...No art on the walls, no fun toys, nothing. Natalie the owner kept stressing teaching "practice life", and this is what I saw, cleaning rags and spray bottles, cooking tools, she discussed the virtues flower arranging for quite some time. I saw some beige wooded stacking toys here and there...again the whole room was beige and grey. The thing that disturbed us most was Natalie's aloofness to serious questions and concerns. Example: "In case of emergency, what is the plan to evacuate the children from the building?" Natalie's Answer: "Well toddlers aren't really interested in fire drills."......WHAT???!! Question: How do you vet prospective employees?" Natalie: "well the Montessori community is really small, and we sorta know them, but we do standard state required backgrounds, and my cousin works here." This answer didn't Inspire confidence... what is the interview process?? What qualities do you look for? Question: what is the turnover rate? Natalie's answer: mmmmm.... wellll...mmmmm...so and so is still here, and...hmmmmm...well... she literally stood thinking for 30 seconds...Literally no answer at all!! It's a small school, you should know!! During the tour we observed not only other parents faces rolling their eyes and laughing as Natalie prattled on without looking anyone in the eye...as if she was totally bored and uninterested in us as prospective parents, we also observed several parent leave in the middle of the tour. The one thing Natalie seemed proud of was....the "waiting list" at Highlands Montessori... as if it was a badge of honor. I don't care about your waiting list. Respect my time, every tour you give should be taken seriously with professionalism. PerWe live on Tenneson literally down the block from this school... and would never send our prized possession, our son, to this school. And they have the nerve to ask for $1800 a month??!! Nope, Nah and hell no! . Listen, this was MY EXPERIENCE, and say what you want there is never a second chance for a 1st impression. And we did find a program where I feel my child is nurtured and loved. There was not a single positive review until I wrote this review. Interesting. But carry on.

I need to feel good about my child's environment and this is subject matter that will always be important to me, my family and my child's future, it should not be taken lightly or joked about. I think the faculty at this school just need some training on certain aspects of what's appropriate and professional when doing these tours.

She will forever be apart of our lives and I can't wait for her to see Mason graduate one day! It's all from her amazing advocacy ! She fights for the rights of these kids and I can't thank her enough.
