I included pics of the daily progress paper your staff handed out at the end of the day to ensure you that we went to this glorified daycare. It's too bad the school has such a high turn over that they don't know who attends the school and perhaps they all pretend to not remember people. But they will sure kept our money and deposit without a problem when we refused to send our child back the following semester after paying in full. At the end of the day HOMS gets visits from other Montessori people because it is not up to par with the rest of their programs the state has to offer. This school offers the bare minimum of what other real Montessori schools offer.

He continues to learn new things all the time, and has developed friendships and social skills even at a young age. Each day there is a consistent routine, which is so helpful; but also a variety of activities and special events and guest speakers to broaden their horizons and develop new skills. Additionally, the secure new app is fantastic in keeping parents updated throughout the day on what the kids are up to - we love having everything at our fingertips and seeing pictures and videos of his smiling face every day! I'd highly recommend this center for child care!!

They take lots of pictures, so we get to see some of what she's up to. Her language and social skills have improved so much since she began attending- sure, she's a toddler, but these are leaps.

My 2.5 year old son has been at Barnyard since he was six months old. My nearly 7 month old daughter has been there for a month. We absolutely LOVE barnyard. So far, my son has been in the infant room, toddler 1, and toddler 2. The teachers are just that- teachers. They not only care for the physical needs of my children, but the emotional needs too. The two primary infant room teachers are incredible care takers who provide so much love and affection, as well as daily engagement. They are more than just babysitters as we experienced elsewhere. They plan activities and work on helping the kids hit their milestones. In the toddler rooms, the teachers are amazing too. They have a wonderful curriculum in place and really foster an environment of play based learning. My son has thrived so much there. Each day, he comes home talking about what he did with his toddler friends and he is always learning about new concepts and mastering new skills due to the daily activities. We actually moved my son to Barnyard after a poor experience elsewhere and were blown away by the professionalism and care we found at Barnyard. Barnyard is an extremely well loved school in town and has truly earned its wonderful reputation.
