I especially recommend Messiah for families with their first child entering school. They did such a great job helping both our daughter and us as parents transition into school life. They created a welcoming environment while teaching her the routines and skills she needed to feel comfortable and confident at school. Throughout the year, they prepared her so well for GA Pre-K by teaching everything from following a school routine and practicing good lunch-time manners to writing her name and becoming more independent. We were so impressed by how much she learned and how well prepared she was for the next step. We are incredibly grateful to Kara and Hannah for their patience, care, and dedication. Messiah Preschool gave our daughter such a strong foundation, and we will always appreciate the wonderful start they gave her! Highly recommend!

The professionalism of the staff, the genuine…read morecare and attention given to each child, and the emphasis on both learning and healthy play make this a truly special school. AIA embraces the traits we value about traditional Montessori education: fostering independence, curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. One of the most rewarding things has been watching our children become more independent and confident by taking initiative, solving problems on their own, and showing genuine excitement about what they're learning. The teachers and staff are wonderful, and we have complete trust in their ability to nurture, guide, and challenge our children. Beyond the classroom, AIA has built a wonderful community of families, with welcoming parents and fun events that bring people together and make the school feel like an extended family. It's a joy to see our kids thrive in such a thoughtful, supportive environment. We couldn't be happier with our experience and wholeheartedly recommend AIA to other families!

Very disappointing experience overall. We signed up early for the next school year, but literally…read morewithin a few days we found out because of a work situation that we would be moving to Canada. We reached out right away, explained everything and asked if they could make an exception. They absolutely could have if they wanted to, but instead chose to charge us close to $2,000 and kept pointing us back to the contract and legal language. I even appealed directly to both the outgoing and incoming heads of the school, hoping there would be some understanding given the circumstances and how quickly we notified them. Unfortunately, there was none. The saving grace for us was my son's teachers, Mr. Rao and Mrs. Joshi. They were wonderful and we genuinely appreciated them. Beyond that, I was never particularly impressed with the administration or the overall experience. For a school that positions itself as a premier institution and has so many positive accolades, our experience was very different. To us, it felt like a pretty average/subpar school packaged and marketed as something much more. If you are considering AIA, just make sure you read every line of what you sign. Don't assume there will be any flexibility or understanding even when circumstances change within a matter of days.

If stability and consistency matter to you, our experience (May-July) suggests this may not be the…read moreright fit. Within two months, our two-year-old's lead teacher changed twice and the assistant changed once. Our child's class was also moved for two weeks into a younger classroom that felt overcrowded for that age mix. For a toddler who needs routine, that level of churn was disruptive. When the second lead resigned abruptly, we chose to withdraw. The school enforced a 45-school-day withdrawal clause, effectively billing families for two school months after notice. Hard to reconcile was the asymmetry: families must guarantee 45-school-days of tuition, yet leadership at times appeared to give staff as little as one week's notice of termination; in other cases, staff were listed as "on vacation" and didn't return. Whether that reflects limited loyalty from management toward staff or low staff loyalty to the workplace, it ultimately points to a management-level failure to foster a supportive environment that keeps staff committed--while families are asked to shoulder the cost of the resulting staffing and retention issues via the 45-school-day policy. If you visit the school, ask detailed questions about current turnover, staffing ratios, contingency plans, and how the 45-school-day policy is applied when staffing changes disrupt a classroom.

It's very clear when you can just tell a person was made to work with little kids, and I've felt that with every single teacher I've met here so far; and that was not the case anywhere else. The communication and attention to detail has exceeded my expectations. I LOVE that this school is smaller, I think only one class per age group, and that Nikisha (director) knows every single parent and child by name. When I ask my son if he wants to go to any daycare (gym, church, etc) he says no. But every time I ask him about going to "school" he says yes, and he's out the door. I feel so at peace here, I'm so impressed with what he's learning every day, I love how diverse it is, I love how safe he is here, and I could not speak more highly of this place.

My son started attending this school in August of 2012 when we moved from another Montessori…read moreschool. Montessori Scholars Academy was only one year old then, but we decided to register because the Elementary teacher had over 18 years of experience from two other well known AMI accredited Montessori schools, and had been trained in one of the best Montessori training centers in the world. This is his second year at MSA and he is growing into a sensible, caring, smart and academically well prepared young man. He just started second grade (second year of the Elementary level), we plan to keep him in this school through the last year (sixth grade). The Elementary classroom is well equipped and his teacher is experienced, deeply understands the Montessori approach, and practices it with complete ease and confidence. Parents and families are very active, and there are many opportunities to participate. Some of the initiatives moved forward by parents are the formation of the Families Association (now one year old!), book drives for the classroom's libraries, addition of enrichment activities, introduction of technology in the classrooms (in a way that supports the Montessori approach), new training programs for parents and family members (parenting, nutrition, first aid, special needs and education, are among the proposed topics for training). Parents in one of the Primary classrooms fundraised, purchased and built the playground equipment which is in accordance to Montessori curriculum for gross motor skill and muscle tone development. Yoga and Violin/Music Theory are now part of the school Curriculum at all levels, and are taught one during recess (Yoga) and Violin as an after-school enrichment activity, at no additional cost to the families. The school is looking to incorporate Robotic Explorers, which is way to introduce children to the fields of physics and programming through building structures with Legos. There are many other enrichment activities as well, such as Art, Soccer, Tennis, Amazing Athletes, Ballet, Chess, Ping Pong and Piano. The administrators are accessible and attentive to detail. The teachers constantly express their appreciation of the support they receive from the school management/administrative staff. One more thing: We left the previous Montessori school because their Elementary teacher suggested that we submit our son to a Psycho-educational evaluation (he was five and very typical for his age and gender), and also mentioned the option of taking him to a Neurologist for brain scans. (Clarification: Our son was learning English that year). Later we found out that this request was being made to many other families in that school for children about to enter the Elementary level. Many boys were not allowed to move up to her class, and currently the class is out of balance in terms of gender: Many more girls than boys, as boys apparently don't fit the profile that this particular teacher was looking to let into her class. We left that school when it was made obvious to us that the teacher didn't want our son there, and that the administration gave her the power to pick who would go into her classroom. Our son's current teacher at MSA, and other experienced Montessori teachers have explained to us that when schools have waiting lists, even Montessori schools, which were created precisely thinking of teaching children of all learning styles, then teachers can get choosy and select those students who will require the least amount of work on their part. They have explained to us that is much easier to teach a homogeneous class of children who learn in the same manner, than it is to teach children with different ability levels. We left that school and never looked back. The Elementary instructor at MSA is a hard working person, who welcomes children of all learning styles, genders, cultural and language backgrounds. She is genuinely interested in offering her students a real-world experience (as specified in the Montessori philosophy), rather than a homogeneous hand picked group of children, who are mainly all girls, and who have the same learning style and abilities. This year, two children moved from traditional schools to the MSA's Elementary Program, as they were not thriving in the public school environment, and in only two weeks those two children are now engaged, have friends and a new found confidence in themselves, which is translating in a rebirth of their love of learning. Their parents are amazed at how quickly the transformation happened. Having our son so engaged in all aspects of his life at school is what makes Montessori Scholars a perfect match for our family. I would encourage any family looking for an excellent school, from Toddler years to 6th grade, to visit the school, and schedule a 30-minute to 1 hour observation, and see the high quality, the independence, the self confidence, the positive approach to child development of this small and wonderful school.

They are sweet and efficient but have no idea how to deal with less than perfect kids. We put our 4 yr old kiddo in this preschool this year, hoping for a chance at some normalcy for this child who had already been through 9 surgeries, several of them open heart. Kiddo has been by all means a miracle child and has absolutely been through it. We discussed in depth with doctors, therapists, etc before making the decision to send him to school as the right decision. However, as expected, kiddo got sick a bit more than the other kids as kiddos immune system isn't as strong. They have strict sick policy, which we respect and understand. At the end of October, we have our first conference. Nothing is mentioned except an issue with answering to kiddos name and acknowledging direction. Nothing new. Nothing mentioned about "educational value." Fast forward to several weeks before Thanksgiving and sickness is going around. The normal kids are recovering in days, it' takes our kiddo a week to consider sending him back. We try it, and end up having to come get kiddo. We are asked to keep kiddo home until the cough is completely gone. We finally send kiddo back after Thanksgiving and 3 school days later, these people have the audacity to message and say kiddo is not getting " any educational value" and would like us to remove kiddo from class. Zero mention of this at the conference. Zero in the hundreds of messages they send weekly. They find a way to say "we can't handle your kiddo , even though we said we could" They even tried to tell us how we should be parenting and thought we should "consider therapy." Do you not listen? Doctors and therapists are who we consulted with to decide to send him to preschool!! Also, it's your job to GIVE every child the educational value. Something every educator in your preschool should be able to do. Educational value is all on the teacher ‍‍We were thinking about sending our 2 year old next year. But thanks for saving us money and showing how bottom of the barrel your preschool is! Why did you say you would take kiddo on when we disclosed from the very first time we contacted your school that he had some health challenges. Why Lie?!?! Stay away from this scam of a preschool. On the bright side their drop off is about as efficient as Chick Fil A .... So I guess
