Not sure where one of the reviewers got their info re: safety. For years there have been two glass doors at the front of the building; the first one unlocked to allow shelter from the elements and the second door was always (automatically) locked. Now both glass doors are always locked and there is a reflective coating on every window so one cannot see into any part of the building. There is heavy duty security on every door and window on the building, in fact. Sadly/luckily there were government grants to help them protect against gun violence. If the front office staff is tending to something away from their offices, there is a doorbell and someone comes to the office. Schools of this size never have a nurse and yes, kids have to take naps in preschool. Parents generally are fans of school naps. lol. Great place. They really care about educating the whole child.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience with the admissions process at…read moreCentral Montessori Academy. I first applied for my child on May 14, 2024, and received confirmation. Over time, I was told he was on the waiting list, and later that he was first on the waiting list. Then that there was no waitlist and administration had changed. I remained patient and continued to follow up appropriately. Since then, I have reapplied and followed up multiple times across the past two years. Most recently, I submitted another application and reached out again only to receive no response at all. I understand that staff may be out of the office at times. However, a complete lack of communication and follow-through over an extended period reflects a breakdown in process, not just timing issues. As a parent, it's frustrating and discouraging to feel like your child's application is not being actively managed. I genuinely like what this school represents, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Strong schools should have strong communication especially in admissions, where families are trying to make important decisions. At this point, it's difficult to feel confident in how prospective families are handled.

I have updated…read morethe name on Yelp, so hopefully the Yelp staff verifies it so this school can get its proper due. My two oldest girls attend...and my wife and I could not be happier. Before my oldest daughter started kindergarten, we were still living within the Cincinnati Public Schools District. Seeing as that school system is beyond helpless and ineffectual, we knew that we needed to get our daughter in one of the outlying school systems bordering the city's limits. Batavia had high marks from the state Department of Education, so this was a huge motivator in our decision to move here. Not one minute have we regretted it. BES has a phenomenal staff. The teachers, lunch workers, administrators, secretarial staff, custodians, and everybody else, are committed to doing the utmost best for the students. There's a genuine care for these kids that you will not find in big city school. They encourage (and expect) the parents to be active participants in their children's education. They are supportive, but not adverse to discipline when needed. I cannot say enough good things about my kids' teachers. Our oldest daughter had issues with her speech that everyone who came into contact with her realized. However, the state of Ohio refused to allow her into speech therapy because these is a policy that students can only get help if their "disability" (in this case my daughter's speech) was having an adverse effect on their development. The problem here was my daughter kept scoring well above average on everything, and so the state said her academic development was progressing just fine, and there was no need for her to participate in speech therapy. This did not satisfy either her teacher or principle. They continuously brought her case before the school board and the state. One day, our daughter got in trouble on the bus. The bus driver informed us that she had heard our daughter use the "N"-word repeatedly on the ride home. My wife and I were shocked. We have never used that word in our household and would never tolerate its use by our children. When we confronted our daughter she was extremely upset. She did not understand why the bus driver had yelled at her and gotten her in trouble. When we told her to tell us what word she had used we were shocked to hear her say that despicable word. She kept repeating it over and over, and finally started pointing to her feet as she said it. It was then that we realized she had been saying the word "sneaker." Due to her speech impediment, it sounded exactly like the "N'-word. We informed her teacher of this, who then immediately brought it to the school principle. Her argument was that even though our daughter's speech was not affecting her academic development, it was already beginning to affect her social development. And because of that, it was the state's responsibility to place our daughter in speech therapy. It worked. Two weeks later we were drafting up our daughter's Individual Education Plan. This is just one example of how wonderful BES is. Our kids have gotten the best teachers. Our children are learning so much, and loving every minute of it. I am proud to say I'm a parent of two Bulldogs! Mahalo, and enjoy.
