The last month we were there my youngest child…read morecomplained to me that the younger of the two teachers in the class (Aubree) smacked her acrossed the face. I addressed the issue with the director (Cindy) who assured me that she would talk to the teacher and keep a close eye on the class. About two weeks later, my youngest daughter confided in me again about the older teacher (Barb) who was flicking the children in there head, including my daughter, at circle time when they weren't paying attention. I again went straight to the Director and told her we would find another center, and gave her my 2 week notice. She assured me that another teacher would be in that class that day because Barb was on vacation. When bringing my child the next day I found that Barb was back and asked if my daughter could be placed in another classroom or another teacher put into the classroom and Cindy refused. She said in both cases that the teachers denied the accusation and as far as she was concerned no other action was necessary. Her words to me were, "If you don't feel comfortable leaving her here, then don't." Great words of encouragement from a daycare director! Needless to say we didn't spend another minute there except to pack up their belongings. There has to be another policy in place for this type of issue! If we can't listen to our children about their caregivers then who do we listen to?

My son has thrived at Community Montessori since he started 2 years ago. His teachers are loving…read moreand support his emotional and social wellbeing in addition to the academics. He loves to go outdoors in the natural play area. Recently, he showed off his ability to add "really big numbers" and how he's now sounding out words. CMC lives up to everything Montessori should be--hands on, self-guided, and collaborative. The classroom is beautifully laid out so the kids can move around, preparing snack or doing a big "work" on a rug. I would highly recommend CMC for anyone interested in full day child care and who believes in the beauty of a Montessori education.

We love it here and would recommend them to anyone! The staff is really accommodating and has been really easy to work with. They do have some teacher turnover, but unfortunately that happens at every single daycare. When it does happen, it's been communicated to us and a replacement is there almost immediately. I feel very comfortable leaving our little girl there. She really enjoys it and is starting to really bond with her teachers. I've never doubted the level of care or compassion each of the teachers has displayed. They've helped me along as a first time mom on what sorts of things to bring in and when. They don't bat an eye when I've asked silly questions or when we have forgotten spare clothes for the second day. I honestly can't say enough nice things about them.

Our daughter was a student at Hilliard Montessori for more than three years, and we were thrilled…read morewith our experience. The school is small, with three preschool/kindergarten rooms and a toddler room. The wonderful staff is led by the Director, Ms. Sadhana Arun, who is a smart, loving woman who really understands and implements the Montessori philosophy beautifully. My first clue that this was a supportive and welcoming place was watching all the children race up and hug Ms. Sadhana as each one left for home in the afternoon. The teachers know all the children's names and because all the rooms are mixed age, there is an amazing sense of community among all the children who attend, that I haven't seen at any other pre-school/daycare. Our daughter blossomed at Hilliard Montessori. She gained amazing self-confidence, as well as math, science, and reading skills. She also developed a strong sense of her own ability to affect positive change in the world around her. I also appreciated the diversity of both the teaching staff and the families who attend the school. There are so many cultures, languages, and backgrounds represented. The family potlucks and celebrations were like world travel, without leaving home. My only regret is that my daughter has now aged out of their program and she can't continue to be a daily member of this loving community and learn from such amazing teachers. We highly recommend that you contact Hilliard Montessori to set up a visit if you are looking for daycare or a preschool experience for a child between 18 months and 6 years. Yes, they offer kindergarten too!

Montessori education is a time-tested, respected and effective education methodology that was founded by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman in Italy to become a physician. The hallmark of the Montessori program is the prepared classroom environment. Each classroom is equipped with hands-on materials for children to independently learn at their own pace. Children learn to solve problems, see natural connections in knowledge and learn skills related to practical living to expand their imaginative thinking. Maria Montessori believed that this type of classroom fostered independence and a love of learning for young children.

I asked Dan and Tamara if he would be able to work with us too because I didn't want him to be alone at home. They agreed. We did all the steps and got him hired onon as a cook/cleaner. But he did everything the teachers asked and more. I was an infant teacher. In 2017, my son was moved to the toddler room. From April-September. It was very stressful because there were some very questionable teachers that would get hired on. i decided to quit in Sept 2017 because I wasn't being paid enough to watch, teach, do arts and crafts, and a ton of paperwork. My boyfriend quit with me. Dan immediately messaged me, and my boyfriend. Called me the B word and my boyfriend a Spic. (He is Hispanic) he said a lot of very horrible things to us because we no longer wanted to work for him. There were multiple times Dan and Tamara came to work arguingarguing, and they prioritised their children over any of their students. I would never recommend this place. They did not follow state laws all the time. They didn't make their teachers clean and sanitize the rooms every night. They cuss in front of children. They would give their kids candy and toys in front of other kids. Their kids could leave their class at any time and sit with the grandmother in the kitchen. It was very unfair to the other kids. It's a very stressful environment.
