Unfortunately she is very unprofessional in her communication style because it is embedded with microaggressions. When she judges you to be someone she doesn't like / who is "not good enough" for her standards / or you don't do something in the way she wants it done, she will make it clear in how she treats you; and charges you extra fees. For instance, this last Christmas when she decided each student in the class needed to buy every single other student in the class a present for gift exchange, our family couldn't do that this year due to financial hardship so we were met with a negative attitude and she has treated us and our daughter poorly ever since. We are pulling our daughter out immediately because the last thing we want her to think is that that this type of behavior demonstrated by Miss Dorothy is Godlike or something to aspire to.

The one thing…read moremissing was an environment to socialize with kids his age and learn in a positive and nurturing environment. My daughter found this when she enrolled him into Hilltop Christian School. He has grown so much and this was because of the wonderful teachers and aides at the Hilltop Christian Preschool. He started with Mrs. Hillary where she helped him mature and focus while learning about Jesus in a safe and non judgmental classroom. She cares about her children and their families. After he left her class, he was promoted to his pre k class where Mrs. Dorothy Coker took over. She provided him with structure and discipline to prepare him for Kindergarten. She works so hard to make sure that her students are prepared for Kindergarten. They are so innovative when it comes to assignments and programs that they put on throughout the year. Yesterday we attended the Pre-K graduation and they did not disappoint. They made sure that all of the graduates felt special and appreciated. Thank you Hilltop Christian Pre-School for the work that you do year round. Your love for the children that you are entrusted with show in all that you do. Be encouraged and never let a few negative comments make you feel under appreciated. Remember Hurt People Hurt People.

Absolutely Exceptional - More Than Just a School…read more Year after year, this Montessori school continues to amaze our family. It is rare to find a place that balances rigorous academic excellence with such a genuine focus on character development and respect. We have watched our youngest (now 4) blossom here over the last two years. The growth in his education level is nothing short of outstanding--he is learning concepts I wouldn't have expected at his age, yet he is doing it with joy and curiosity. But beyond the academics, what impresses me most is the school's commitment to constantly bringing in new activities and enhancing the learning environment. They never settle; they are always finding ways to be better. A few amazing days of the year for you and the family: All the Holidays - The school ensures we celebrate holidays from across all cultures and life. Fathers' Night: An amazing way to connect their children with their fathers. One of the best moments I look forward to every year. I Mother Tea Time: Another amazing experience for the children to spend some quality academic and fun time with their moms. This standard of excellence isn't limited to just one teacher; it is consistent across the board. Every staff member, at every level, cares deeply about these children. If you are looking for a place that will truly invest in your child's future, this is it. We couldn't be happier.

Our son started at Montessori School of Brentwood on his second birthday, and almost a year and a…read morehalf later, we could not be more grateful for his experience. From the beginning, Ms. Sharon and Ms. Aariah have made learning fun and exciting. At just 3 years old, he comes home teaching us American Sign Language and counting in both English and Spanish. It is amazing to see how much he is absorbing and how proud he is to share it. He enjoys his time in daycare with Ms. Lisa and always looks forward to his mornings with Ms. Amy. The consistency and care from each teacher make such a difference in helping him feel comfortable and supported. The teacher aides and support staff are always very warm, caring, and attentive. Whether it is a quick greeting at drop-off or helping the children through their daily routines, they create such a calm and positive atmosphere. As he prepares to graduate to the next age group, I asked him which class he would like to move into next. His immediate response was, very matter-of-factly, "Ms. Sharon. That is MY class." Then he began listing everyone's names because he truly loves them all. Ms. Shaku's leadership and dedication to building a strong community for both the children and parents are clear. Her focus on creating a positive environment where kids can thrive is deeply appreciated. Montessori School of Brentwood has been such a special part of our lives. We are so thankful for everything the staff has done to help our child grow with confidence, curiosity, and joy.

As parents, we enrolled our child at Celebration Center because of its Christian foundation and the…read morepromise of a school that partners with families in raising and educating children. The kindergarten year was great. 1st grade, however, well, lets just say, recent events have shown us that this school does not practice what it preaches. Without detailed communication or parental consent, Celebration brought in a guest speaker from Committing to 16 -- someone with no formal training in early childhood education -- to speak to a class of 6-year-olds. Even worse, the speaker contradicted her own organization's message ["Committing to 16 is designed to help prevent mental health issues that come with social media use in kids and teens by avoiding social media usage until 16..." ] by encouraging kids to stay on social media... at six years old! How is that in line with Christian values or healthy child development? C'mon Nurse Kelli - make it sound right. And that's just grazing the top layer of their presentation slides... there's more than social media. How about, vaping, sexual touching? Yeah, that. Even public schools have consents toward subjects spoken on that subject. We're raising our child in a very intentional and supervised way. No sleepovers. No random adults without us present. No unsupervised screen time -- ever. Every minute of his exposure to media is something we explain and walk him through. So, to find out that Celebration assumed all children were on the same path and delivered such content without consent? Completely unacceptable. When my wife addressed the issue in person, she was met with dismissive body language and zero accountability. From what I gathered, they didn't seem to think they did anything wrong -- or perhaps they just labeled us as "overprotective parents." Let me be clear: We may be the first to speak up, but we are not alone. Other parents we've talked to were equally outraged. To top it off, our child has mentioned they often watch YouTube in class. If that's what we're paying thousands a year for, we could have stayed home and done that ourselves -- for free. Celebration Center claims to partner with parents, but in our experience, they make major decisions without transparency and then stand by them without reflection. We no longer trust the school's judgment, and we certainly don't feel they prioritize the well-being or innocence of the children in their care. If you're a parent looking for a school that truly respects and collaborates with families, think twice before enrolling here. They might say the right things, but their actions tell a different story.

I highly recommend Celebration Center to every parents. I am grateful to all the teachers here from…read moremy heart. I still remember my daughter crying every day when she first came here, but her teachers accompanied and enlightened her patiently.

I am really thankful to Ms Passionai, Angie and Vanessa, they have given a lot of love and patience to my daughter. I thank God for leading me and my daughter here and meeting all people here.
