During your first visit you will have to register with one of the staff members, which is a fast process. Then every time you visit you simply check in on the computer. Parking is available out front. The learning center shares the building with the Bellevue administration offices. The learning center is located to the left of the office. It had a separate entrance, which you ring a bell to get in. They have two play rooms with a variety of learning toys, books and things to crawl on. The staff is amazing with an educational background. They are very engaging with the little ones, and it's obvious that they love their job and working with the children. My first visit today, and I'll be back.

As a first time mother, I 100% trust the teachers to care of my child while I am not able to be with him. They fully take in my suggestions and any cautions that I have for my child. He gets one on one attention but still develops his own individual personality with other children and self play. If you are looking for a place that is safe, loving, and will develop your child at their pace, this is the place to enroll.

On the third day my husband went to pick him up and found my son running around out in the parking lot, unsupervised. When we demanded an explanation, the director would not accept any responsiblity for it. She said that it was my son's fault, he should have known better. She also said that we must have discipline issues at our house if my child doesn't know better that to exit the building without an adult. HELLO LADY...he's 2. How can she possibly think that a 2 year old can be responsible for decisions like this, if that were the case I wouldn't being paying someone to take care of him! The director is truly a fake and CRAZY!! Don't let this place stereotype all Montessori's, my boys are now at a true, accredited Montessori that has an awesome reputation and we LOVE it!!

We kept our kid there cause I felt like it was a safe place and I don't think they were mean or anything. But the entire philosophy is "Follow the child." That doesn't mean let them do whatever they want, but it does mean encourage and follow their interests and their level of development. These people were constantly focused on what level our kid was "supposed" to be at and acted concerned about her development, saying she was acting too young for her age, but then when we were concerned about needing medical examination or intervention they never responded. I'm not expecting them to diagnose my kid, but if you truly think there is a concern, then recommend a check-up or something. (Spoiler alert, it's been 2 years since then and she's just fine). And instead of encouraging whatever her interests were or letting her start slow, they would try to rush her into things and then get upset when she didn't show interest, like she was the problem for "refusing" to perform. (That's the term they used! For a BABY!) Anyway, I felt like they were nice to the kids despite all that, and they had nice activities, and since they were sticklers for rule following I felt like it was a safe place. Which is why they get 3 stars. But since then our kids have been attending another Montessori school that is much more attuned to the children's interests and tries to work on their level of development rather than pushing to work on whatever the teacher wants. Just pointing that out so that you don't think that our experience here is what regular Montessori is all about. It's actually the exact opposite.

I was teacher's assistant at MCA before I moved states to pursue a career as an actuary. I was able to work with all age levels from infant to 6 year olds and I loved working with each kid and watching them excited to learn and develop their skills. Not only was Ingrid a great mentor to me, teaching me the philosophy of Montessori and how to best coach a child through and activity, but the entire staff were also kind and energetic with me and the students. I've kept in touch with Ingrid since I left and she's been a great resource with advice and support. This is a great place to work with wonderful students and parents that attend.
