Words truly can't express how grateful we are for this Montessori school. Moving our twins here was…read morea big change from their previous program, and the difference has been remarkable. Their growth -- academically, socially, and emotionally -- has exceeded every expectation. The teacher‑to‑student ratio is exactly what young learners need. Each child receives thoughtful attention, support, and guidance, and you can see the impact in their confidence and development. The campus itself is calm, kid‑friendly, and has that peaceful, "zen" feeling that makes learning feel natural. Update: Our twins are now heading into kindergarten, and the foundation this school gave them is incredible. They're already comfortable with addition and subtraction, reading, and writing -- skills they learned here through hands‑on Montessori methods. We also love how much the school celebrates community and childhood joy. They host trunk‑or‑treat for Halloween, Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas parties, Valentine's celebrations -- all the fun moments kids look forward to. For Mother's Day and Father's Day, the children make the sweetest photo cards holding letters that spell "Mom" and "Dad." Those gifts have become treasured keepsakes in our home. The school even brings in Santa Claus for pictures during the holidays, which our twins absolutely adored. This is a true Montessori school. Don't let other reviews sway you -- our experience has been nothing short of wonderful.

She loves school more than anything, to have your child beg to go to school, happy every morning is priceless.

The performances always blow my mind and last years robotic show for first grade surpassed my expectations. Truly recommend.

We have had kids at Paddington since 2017, and they love it!

Then, were so impressed with their handling of the pandemic in 2020 (we experienced no "covid learning loss"), it was an easy decision to stay on for the primary grades. And we have not been disappointed! We continue to have truly great teachers, that you can actually interact with every day at drop off and pickup and build relationships with them. I highly encourage anyone who is interested to schedule a tour or go to one of the open houses. Not only is it a charming environment, you will be amazed at how much more they manage to cover than just the basics. There is a focus on fine arts and performances, which are so great for confidence building. But they also get into robotics, go on cool field trips, and seem to have more fun events and activities than you might get in public school. The summer camp sessions are great, too! We'll be very sad to move on after 4th grade!

My son attended Abercrombie Academy's preschool, and is now in kindergarten there. Abercrombie…read moreAcademy is a gem! The first three words that come to mind when I think of the school are safe, loving, and experienced. Here are a few of the things I like most about the school: It provides a good balance between academics and fun. My son's fine motor skills have improved greatly, and now in Pre-K he is learning to read and do math, but there is still plenty of time for recess and fun activities. They also provide after-school options like basketball, science & engineering, and more. It is well-established and has been around at least since I was a kid - my two siblings and I all attended Abercrombie Academy as children. I have very fond memories of the years I spent in school there, and my older son is loving his time there as well. The school-day teachers and the aftercare staff in the preschool have years of experience, and it shows. They know just how to handle the kids in a loving and gentle, but firm, way that provides guidance in social skills and manners, and learning to care about others, while having fun and enjoying school. The classrooms and playground are charming and cozy. The preschool building has just four classrooms, (each with a fantastic teacher) so it's nice and small, just the right size for 3- and 4-year-olds. The preschoolers also do lots of "homey" activities like baking, which the kids love. The pre-K class does fun field trips. The administrative staff is great. I highly recommend Abercrombie Academy as a wonderful "home away from home" for kids to learn and play during the school year and summers.

This is my daughter's fourth year attending Abercrombie. We could not be happier with the education…read moreshe is receiving. The administration and Abercrombie family have committed to developing an innovative and thorough curriculum. They have wonderful teachers, and genuinely care about each child. To have your child go to a school where the entire staff knows not only their name, but their interests too is amazing. That does so much to boost a childs' confidence. The sense of community our daughter and family feel at Abercrombie Academy truly distinguishes this school as a hidden gem. I highly recommend you look into Abercrombie if you are interested in the advantages a private school education and compassionate staff can provide your child.

Esta escuela es sin duda la mejor escuela Montessori para nuestros hijos…read more Desde el momento que entré a esta escuela pude sentir algo muy positivo y especial. Fue una conexión instantánea donde pude sentir que mis hijos estarían en buenas manos. Hay tantas cosas buenas por decir de esta escuela. Empezamos por la directora las Sra Diana, ella está haciendo un excelente trabajo en esta escuela, desde la selección de los maestros y ayudantes en general, la programación, organización, y estrategias de educación adecuada, alimentación etc. Desde le primer momento que conocimos a la Sra Diana, ella fue muy amigable, nos dió un recorrido por toda la escuela, nos presentó a la gran mayoría de sus maestras y personal asistente, incluyendo al personal que cuida a los bebés estas Maestras son muy dulces y amorosas, inclusive días después conocimos a la hermosa y cariñosa persona que cuida de la cocina. La Sra Diana desde el primer momento respondió, todas y cada una de nuestras preguntas, las cuales fueron muchas, ella tuvo esta calma de aún sin saber que eligiéramos su escuela ella respondió con mucho cariño cada una de estas preguntas. Que placer es poder conocer a personas como ella. Sin duda alguna la Sra Diana ha creado un equipo muy bueno, se puede ver que cada maestra, asistentes y personal en general disfruta su trabajo y trabajar en este hermoso lugar. La maestra de mis niños la Srta Feith y su asistente la Srta Mia. Ellas están haciendo cosas muy bien para todos los niños de este salón, ellas son muy amorosas, amables, amigables, se puede ver estos niños son felices allí, mis hijos solo tienen un mes y medio de estar asistiendo a esta escuela y cada mañana para las dos últimas semanas ellos entran a la escuela y van corriendo para su salón, se puede ver su entusiasmo en sus hermosos rostros, para ellos es un lugar divertido, no más lágrimas como vimos en las dos primeras escuelas de guardería donde estuvieron, a pesar de ser "escuelas" en realidad eran más que todo una guardería. Y lo más importante, mis niños están aprendiendo bastante, hemos notado un gran cambio, ellos ahora hablan más, y son más independientes, y conocen muchas más cosas. Hemos sido testigo de su programa de educación, tienes muchas actividades diarias, adicional a esto hay una madre de familia que pasa a los salones y les lee a los niños unos libros, esta Sra que lee estos libros es tan dulce y tuve la oportunidad de asistir a una de sus lecturas y yo disfrute tanto su lectura que literal sentí ganas de regresar a la escuela, cuando ella está leyendo tiene la habilidad de hacer los cuentos tan reales que tu puedes vivirlos. También cada semana tienen un hora de lectura donde los padres pueden asistir y compartir con sus hijos y educadores de este evento, sin duda tiene cosas excelentes y muchas actividades variadas. Eliminando así tener una rutina aburrida. Esta escuela no es solo una escuela Montessori, es una gran familia. Todo el personal cuidan de los niños aún si no son sus maestras directas, están al pendiente de todos los niños. También estamos muy felices con la Sra Teresa, ella es una de las maestra del próximo grado donde mis niños asistieron en el futuro, la Sra Teresa, es un amor de persona, siempre está atenta de todo y al pendiente de que todo esté bien, ella es muy amigable y sociable, y tienen mucho amor para los niños. Me encanta que los niños están en un lugar con tantas actividades y muy importante tienen acceso a diferentes áreas de la escuela, por ejemplo en la mañana salen al patio trasero donde tienen cosas divertidas para los niños jugar al aire libre, luego tienen la opción de usar un gimnasio donde los niños juegan con diferentes juguetes como pelotas grande, legos y carritos y libros muchas cosas más, en este lugar también imparten clases hasta de música. También tienen un área que es un teatro, usado para diversas presentaciones y lecturas. y hay un comedor donde los niños suelen tomar sus comidas y snacks. En si los niños pueden estar en diferentes áreas, evitando así la rutina de estar casi todo el día en 4 paredes. Hasta los horarios de la comidas son buenos, el desayuno a las 9 am, lo cual es perfecto porque los niños en especial los pequeños despiertan algo tarde y tienen la opción de compartir el desayuno con sus compañeros en el aula, y luego tiene snaks y luego su almuerzo, luego otro snack y la cena la toman en casa, lo cual es perfecto. Wao, la verdad yo estoy tan feliz de haber encontrado este hermoso lugar. y estoy tan feliz de ver a mis hijos ser felices y crecer en esta espectacular escuela. Quiero felicitar a la Sra Diana y a todo su personal, gracias por hacer que esta escuela funcione tan bien, gracias por cuidar de nuestros pequeños con tanto amor. Dios les siga bendiciendo infinitamente, están haciendo un excelente trabajo. Mil gracias.

We are always greeted by more than one staffer on our way in and out of the building, usually referring to my son by name.

I had a wonderful experience in the 2 year old class. The teacher was great, my son had friends,…read moreeverything was good. He moved to the next room after he turned three and it quickly went downhill. He spent numerous days in "the office" without any notification for me until I got there to pick him up. I would have appreciated some sort of communication that he had been spending hours in the office, which was a glass room with a dining room table. My son had just turned three, one day I came to pick him up and the "owner "said he refused to put his shoes on and told him he couldn't go back to his class until he put them on by himself. He's three, and it was literally the first day he had ever worn shoes with laces. He had no idea how to untie them, they were in double knots. Another day I went to pick him up and he had been in the office three or four times that day for random things, and the "owner " told me he was harassing other students. I was never called nor notified of this behavior. Just walked in to my 3 year old son in "The office" for idk how long. One day I went to pick him up, and they told me he wasn't welcome back. Again never called or notified until I walked in the door. The "owner " also complained in a letter to all parents that children shouldn't be getting out of their cars after eating food on the way to school, that they could make it from the house to school without eating. And that many of the parents cars look like bombs went off inside them. I don't know how this man is over a school, but it was a terrible experience. This may not be the experience of everyone however it was my experience and I would not recommend this school.

This was a disappointing experience from the start. My son started in the 2 year old classroom and…read moreimmediately regressed academically. After he turned 3 we had parent teacher conference and his teacher told us he was not ready to move to the next classroom. Her reason was he did not meet the maturity and developmental requirements to move up. Less than 2 months later they told us he was moving to the next classroom (he had not shown improvement on the areas previously mentioned). There were inconsistencies at home and I expressed to his then current teacher, new teacher, and the director that I did not think he would handle the transition well at that time. They moved him anyway and he started showing signs of physical aggression which he never had before. I understand the need to protect teachers and other students, but this was poorly addressed. About 10 days into the new class we had a meeting with the new teacher and the owner stating we would need to pick him up early when he was having behaviors and have consequences once taken home. Later that day we were called to pick him up early. The following day they allowed him to stay a full day even though he was having behaviors and at pickup we were told he was not welcome to come back to the school. We were given 1 day, one early pickup to put into practice their action plan. The school did not take into consideration the parents concerns. They thought they knew better.
