How many parents can say that? MSOE provides a unique, respectful, positive, and stress-free environment, where children can learn at their own pace. If your children need more help in a certain subject, they will get it here. If your children excel in a certain subject, they will be challenged to learn more. At the end of this past school year, we received the results of our children's standardized test scores and learned that they are functioning well above their individual grade levels. Who could ask for more? In addition to the academics, there is an emphasis on character development. The children learn conflict resolution, leadership, teamwork, and compassion. We are routinely told by coaches, other parents, and camp counselors, that our children are so polite and well-spoken. The teachers are highly qualified, caring, and receptive to parental involvement. Mr. Matt, the Head of the School, leads by example. Mr. Matt will inspire your child to love learning, be a leader, and make a positive impact in the world. This is the best Montessori School in South Jersey!!!

From the owner: The fundamental difference of a Montessori education is the understanding that children are…read moreindependent learners who learn by doing. At Montessori Seeds of Education (MSOE), children learn to be self-reliant, responsible citizens. They are empowered to have transferable skills through sensory education, by means of self-correcting materials, as they construct knowledge and wisdom through experience in a prepared environment. They engage in physical tasks and regular communication, which educates the whole child. MSOE provides families with what they need for successful and fulfilling interpersonal relationships. MSOE is about transforming the present educational paradigm to empower learners. This is accomplished by creating opportunities for children to sow their own seeds and reap the lifetime benefits from the experience of an authentic Montessori education. Utilizing Dr. Maria Montessori's pedagogy, MSOE teaches universal and timeless lessons, while focusing on the whole child a

Since new ownership took over there has been nothing but negative change. Owners Jillie and Jon were incapable of accepting feedback on implementation of protocol, and informed us we were 'no longer a good fit for the school'.

We will forever be grateful for the teachers and staff that cared and taught our children over the past 7 years - they are fantastic, and their support of our children never wavered.

The teachers and staff are excellent and remained a comforting fixture of our children's daily routine. Unfortunately, ownership recently changed and the entire demeanor of the school changed as well. After providing some open and honest feedback about some policies, the owners thought it was in the best interest of our child to have him removed from the school. I hope the current staff and teachers are able to plant new roots elsewhere; they are too talented and loving to have to deal with the unprofessionalism and combative nature of new ownership. They have successfully undone everything that had been so appealing about The Goddard School for the past 7 years and have left a permanent stain on its name.

I am so lucky and thankful to have found this school for my two young children. It's a beautifully…read moresmall and intimate school with teachers that actually KNOW and care about the children. As another reviewer notes, the facilities (building) aren't that impressive or 'state of the art' (e.g. there's no separate gym and the students don't rotate into different classrooms for various activities); however, it's the love, attention, care and personalization that the staff brings to the kids and parents that really sets this place apart from others. Not only is the staff focused on teaching age-appropriate math/language/motor skills, etc. (via play-based activities), they are also very focused on social skills and instilling good values and manners. Finally, there's a real sense of community at this school and it's wonderful to have such great relationships with so many like-minded and caring parents. Note: We did try a new school for the 2019 summer period (another local, more expensive school with 'state-of-the-art' facilities) and it really missed the mark for us (significant teacher turnover during the 2.5 month period, limited interaction/feedback on development from teachers, very unhealthy/processed food options, . Ultimately, we came back to Chesterbrook for the teachers.

Unlike many daycares, MCS allows children a lot of flexibility to learn through play. MCS staff encourage a child's individual interests in addition to providing organized instruction and activities. MCS embraced my daughter when her special needs led three other daycares to not allow her to attend. MCS staff have a lot of experience working with special needs and my daughter has thrived there for now for three years. My daughter has made many friends and looks forward to going to MCS each day. In addition to their great care MCS is located on a small farm, which means they have a very large and open playground with lots of options for outside play year round. The farm also has several animals that the children can interact with (most recently baby goats in a small pen). Overall I can't think of a better place for children to learn and grow in their own individual ways.

Immediately I knew this was a special place for my son. And our experience here with school and summer camp have far surpassed what we had hoped for. Their school motto of "grow confidently"- really illustrates the transformation my son went through from a 2.5 year old toddler to a 5 year old boy who is confident and loves to learn now. The teachers are outstanding- they really love kids and love teaching kids to embrace and enjoy learning. The administrative staff ( Ms. Kerri & Ms. Janine) are amazing and make you feel at ease and that we were part of their family . We will forever love and be a huge advocate for this school !!

There were multiple incidents of bullying and/or kids just misbehaving and the school not handling those situations properly. I had no false hope that every kid would act like an angel 100% of the time and believe I was realistic in hoping that if and when a child would not behave well, the teachers would know how to handle it- boy, was I wrong! My daughter was scratched, pushed, hit, had her leg stood on by a boy (to which the teacher just told the other kid not to do it bc my daughter didn't like it.... Because so many people would) The straw that broke the camels back was: my husband arrived to pick up my daughter and noticed a bump/bruise on her head. He asked the 3 teachers at the door what happened. They all said they didn't know. Our daughter told us that a boy (who had done other things to her in the past and sounded to be an overall behavioral issue), hit her in the head with a stick on the playground. I asked if a teacher saw. She said no. She said she told a teacher and that teacher put the kid in timeout. Ok, fine. BUT, she happened to be one of the teachers at the door that said she didn't know what happened to my daughter.... In all the time my daughter went yo the school, we felt they operated in the dark. We never received an email about any incidents and when we brought it to her teachers attention, he said he would look into it and get back to me. Never did. After this last incident, they also said they were going to investigate and interview the teachers and get back to me with their findings. They never did. It became very obvious to me that this school was all about collecting $$, but not providing even the basic service of safety, not to mention an education. I am not an unreasonable individual, and if they had just communicated when things happened and told me how they remedied it, I would have been ok. Send your child elsewhere..... there are plenty of good schools out there. This is not one of them.
