As in any school or establishment individual experience is going to be different, depending upon the teacher in classroom in with your child is placed. I picked my child up today only to hear her screaming at him through the door. I arrived early to pick him up. As I approached the classroom door I heard her yelling at him to go to sleep calling him a baby and telling him he needs to go to the baby room since he won't sleep. My son was crying telling her he didn't want to go to the baby room saying "I'm a big boy". This was not a stern or firm teacher voice, this was screaming and berating my son in front of his classmates during their nap time. My son should not have had to go through that, the other children in the class should not have had to hear that. As a former teacher myself this is NO WAY in which to speak to a child, especially for not napping. This "teacher" does not deserve the title and should not be working with children. Once she came to the door, her tone completely changed, she became extremely soft spoken and sweet. The hypocrisy was ridiculous. I mentioned the experience to the front staff as the director of the school was not there. They apologized.

If you read the one-star reviews, you'll notice a common theme: poor treatment of children. As…read moreparents, we diligently research daycares and carefully place our children at a childcare facility where we think that they will be loved and cared for. As such, I decided to write about my child's experience because I would never want any parent to experience the pain and frustration that my husband and I experienced. Our child attended Pinnacle Montessori of Frisco from three months old until our child was 16 months. The month before we withdrew our child, we expressed our concerns to the director regarding whether they were communicating our child's medical information to every person who cared for our child, as well as our frustration regarding the fact that, for two days in a row, two different jackets were unable to be located when we picked up our child. After this complaint, our child started receiving negative behavior comments frequently. To put things into context, our child received their first negative report ever on the same day that we notified the teacher of the missing jacket (i.e., the day before our complaint). Thereafter, our child typically received several negative reports each WEEK. Our child was 15 months old at the time. We met with our child's primary teacher to discuss our concerns regarding the frequency and the nature of the negative reports. We were told that the reports weren't meant to suggest that our child was doing something bad, they were more so to let parents know how their child's day went. A few days after this meeting, the director stopped me on my way out the door after dropping my child off and informed me that if my 15-month-old child continued to receive negative reports for the next three months, then maybe my child is communicating that Montessori is not for them. I took this as a thinly-veiled threat to kick my 15-month-old child out based on frequent "negative" reports that coincidentally started occurring after my complaint. Of course, this direct contradiction regarding the intention behind the reports resulted in us having a meeting with the director and the teacher. At the meeting, the director informed my husband and me that we were "too sensitive" and that she had no reason to have a problem with our child because we pay on time each month, and the teachers have never had a problem with us. This was jarring to us because no childcare facility should differ the level of care and treatment that they provide to a child based upon the child's parents' ability to pay on time. After this meeting, things went from bad to worse. Our child came home with a diaper rash that was so severe that it required a medical prescription and for our child to stay home an entire week. We sent our child to this facility for only three more days after the diaper rash healed. On the third day, our child was sent home without a shirt on. When we asked the front desk why our child's shirt was not on our child's body, they informed us that our child spilled water on the shirt, and they didn't have a backup shirt. They did not even bother to notify us to let us know our child needed a shirt. Had they cared enough for our child to notify us, we could have immediately resolved the issue that day. Needless to say, that was our child's last day. I hope any parent of a prospective attendee finds my review helpful. For any parent whose child still attends this facility, you may want to pay close attention to how your child is being treated, especially if (i) you don't pay on time or (ii) you have ever complained to the staff/director.

Small class size of 15 kids being lead by 2 primary teachers and 2 full time staff members as…read morebackup/helpers. This has been an excellent small school for my kid, with education and experience pushed to the top to the list of priorities. The staff makes learning enticing with field trips/activities often planned around current teachings for fortification of general concepts and ideas. Teachers are highly educated and do not "teach to the middle". They "see" each individual child and teach to that child's abilities. The school's website indicates that between the 2 teachers they have a Masters of Education, a Bachelors of Science, Masters of Fine Arts, and 20 years of experience including a focus on Special Education for learning differences and International experience. It is private, so cost can be challenging, but if you can afford the cost, your child will reap the benefits now and into their future.

My only regret that I didn't know about this school sooner…read more My son attended for just two hours, and yet the impact was remarkable. Before this, school was something he actively hated. Getting him there was a daily battle. In the short time he spent at this school, that completely flipped. He went from dreading school to genuinely loving it. What stood out most was how quickly he thrived. In only two hours the staff managed to connect with him in a way that made him feel capable and motivated. One of the biggest gifts they gave him was self-discipline. It wasn't forced or punitive; it was taught in a way that helped him take ownership of his own behavior and focus. Seeing that shift in such a short window was powerful. It's rare to find a place that can turn a child's entire attitude toward learning in just two years. Even though his time there was brief, it left a lasting impression.

June Campbell has developed an awesome "Pure Phonics" curriculum that is geared towards younger children and it was remarkable to see our little 3 1/2yr old grasp the concepts laid out so quickly. Wonderful, thoughtful and challenging teachers work here and we have never been more grateful for a friend's recommendation to check this school out. June and her staff have mastered the art of training and educating kids through Biblical principles and their influence on not only our daughter's education but also her love of learning is so very greatly appreciated.

As a proud member of the unofficial Special Staff, I can confirm that Levine Academy is filled with…read moresome truly special people. Everyone here is specially gifted in their own unique way and the teachers aren't just teachers -- they're specialists. The smaller teacher-to-student ratio means students receive an incredible amount of individual attention, support and encouragement. The extra care given to each child is obvious from the moment you walk through the doors. And yes, with that level of care and attention to detail-- things occasionally involve thoughtful discussions, careful planning, another meeting and perhaps one more meeting just to discuss the previous meeting's findings. Excellence takes time specifically in this Special Environment. Of course, no review would be complete without mentioning Sal the Stallion, lovingly known by some as "Special Sal," proudly representing a community that's not afraid to celebrate what makes everyone unique. A great logo made by someone especially gifted! Five stars for the staff, the students, the families and the wonderfully special community they've built together. ¡L'Chaim! They're also ProTrans (transparency) and ProCult (culture). Rumor has it (I'm unofficially the only Special Suarez!)

This school is a huge disappointment, and I cannot recommend it. The classes are way bigger than…read morewas advertised. The classrooms are all very small compared to how many kids are in them. The teachers mostly all seem very good at their job but end up having to slow the course down for the lowest level students. Classes get taken over by kids with behavior problems who get sent to the office and then come back to class five minutes later to do the same thing again. These kids just enjoy derailing the class and going to the office EVERY DAY. The teachers eventually just stop sending problem kids because its pointless. It ends up that a lot of classes are just run by the loudest kids who won't stop talking despite being sent to the office over and over. I feel bad for the teachers here. It's also a pretty open secret that kids can basically not do any work throughout the semester and even skip school without consequences. They will just be passed at the end of the year. I get they are trying to create a "nice" environment, but really its just an school without rules or real education. Your student will only be frustrated by the lack of real learning and the many kids who hate work and learning. Not only that, when they do graduate, they will be completely unprepared for college. I do not recommend the Einstein School, no matter lies they give you up front.
