They start teaching at age 1! They help with potty training if you need too. They provide the breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks for the kids. The staff are easy to reach and communicative.

It's also quite diverse with cultures and they have respect for others cultures as well.

When I pick them up, they come to the car smiling and happy. On the first day of school, my 5-year-old son said, "It's awesome, I love this school!" He continues to tell me how much fun he has in TK and how nice the kids are. He has always been skeptical about God, but that's definitely chagning. He is getting a strong Biblical education. They pray multiple times a day, go to chapel, have Bible lessons, etc. The other day, we saw a beautiful sunrise. He said, "Jesus made that for us." And at dinner the other night, he said he has Jesus in his heart! The teachers and staff have been amazing. It seems like most of the staff has worked at this school for many years. They have smiles on their faces, dress nicely, hair done, makeup on... You can tell they genuinely want to be there! Sugar Hill Weekday Preschool is fully staffed like a real school with a director; assistant director-operations; assistant director-admissions; registrar; school nurse; multiple assistants; music & movement teacher; STEAM teacher; and Spanish teacher. ...Not to mention, all the wonderful, loving classroom teachers and assistant teachers. We get a letter from the nurse anytime there's a confirmed illness, or even if our child bumps his head or gets a cut and requires a band-aid. The level of organization has been very impressive. They have signs and tags for everything with each child's name and number (backpack tags, lunchbox tags, car tags, name tags for the beginning of school, etc.). The facility itself is spotless. Custodians are constantly coming in classrooms when children are away to empty trashcans and wipe things down. This particular private pre-school also receives services with Gwinnett County Bright from the Start (special ed services). Some private pre-schools do not qualify to have special ed staff from the county in the classrooms. This is definitely worth considering if your child might have any developmental delays, speech delays, etc. Everyone we've talked to who has had students go from SHWP to Buford Kindergarten have said their children have been extremely well prepared for kindergarten. We can't recommend this school enough!

We thoroughly researched and toured several schools before enrolling her at THMS in April 2023. Mr. Amir, the former owner, was a great leader. Ms. Shireen, the current head of school, is equally wonderful. Despite facing challenges like every organization, the school has experienced positive transformations. Ms. Shireen, Ms. Uzma, and the incredible teachers have prepared our children for kindergarten. There's been an increase in open communication, and more visibility into the curriculum. The school offers fun activities during school hours and some after, and they always include parents and families whenever possible. Our daughter has cherished every teacher, including her afternoon teachers during the extended day program. We haven't experienced any harsh treatment, thankfully. While it's understandable that we might pick her up sweaty from the playground due to Georgia's hot weather, I don't expect teachers to keep all the kids' shirts tucked in or wipe their faces constantly. If that's the case, I'd provide face wipes and leave a note for the afternoon teachers. We've also never picked her up wet because they always help change her if she has an accident, even if she spills water on her shirt! We provide change of clothes and they bag up the wet clothes for us. I deeply respect Ms. Shireen's challenging job. She remains positive and I always see her at school with a smile on her face. Montessori philosophy doesn't sugarcoat developmental truths, and Ms. Shireen and the teachers must tell parents where their kids truly are. They spend upwards of 40 hours per week with them, unlike many of us. I appreciate their hard work and am excited to see what our daughter learns in the next two years.

I would not recommend Tomorrow's Hope Montessori School in Suwanee. My experience there as a parent…read morehas been extremely disappointing and concerning. The way the staff treats the children is far from nurturing or aligned with the Montessori philosophy. During my daughter's time there, we noticed multiple red flags. She would often come home with her clothes soaked or improperly dressed after using the bathroom -- shirts not tucked in, pants half pulled up -- showing clear signs of carelessness. Her face was frequently red when we picked her up. At first, we assumed it was from face paint or playing, but after reviewing camera footage, we realized it was actually from how harshly the teachers were wiping her face. This is completely unacceptable. The food handling practices are also alarming. I personally witnessed a teacher carry five chicken nuggets from the kitchen to the classroom in her hands, even though she was wearing gloves -- no plate, no tray. When serving the food, it was literally tossed onto the children's plates with no care or kindness. Most upsetting of all is the teachers' overall tone and treatment of the kids. The environment is cold and impatient. I witnessed one incident where a child was crying loudly during mealtime, and the teacher yelled at him, grabbed him, and forced him to sit on the floor simply because he was playing with his chair. That is not how any child should be treated, especially not in a school that claims to follow Montessori values. Considering how expensive this school is, the lack of care and compassion is unacceptable. We were willing to sacrifice our hard-earned money for what we believed would be a safe, nurturing, Montessori-style environment. Sadly, what we experienced was the complete opposite. When I brought all of this to the attention of the school director, Shireen Ali, and we reviewed the camera footage, she showed zero empathy or concern, even though everything I described was clearly visible on the footage. Her only solution was to transfer my daughter to a different classroom -- nothing more. That's not acceptable. These teachers do not seem properly trained, and honestly, it doesn't appear that anyone on staff is actively monitoring those cameras unless a parent specifically asks. We ultimately withdrew our daughter because we no longer felt safe leaving her in that environment. I'm sharing this so other parents can make an informed decision -- what looks good on the surface at this school can be very different from what actually happens behind the classroom doors.
