We have a 3 year-old son who was recently diagnosed with high-functioning autism. His diagnosis…read morepresents mildly, primarily through a slight speech delay and a lack of interest in traditional, structured settings. He is a very creative child who thrives on stimulation and exploration, something we felt his current daycare was not providing. That's what led us to seek alternative options, and Montessori programs came highly recommended for children like him. Our first experience with Carlisle Montessori was very positive. We were warmly welcomed, and the tour left a great impression. We loved the homelike atmosphere, and the small size of the school gave us the feeling of a "family setting" where children could receive more individualized attention. Our only concern at that time was the small size of the classrooms in relation to the number of students. Despite that, we felt optimistic and moved forward with the enrollment process. We completed the application paperwork and were met with excitement and openness. Then came the enrollment form, where we were asked to disclose any learning, behavioral, or emotional diagnoses. We shared our son's diagnosis and emphasized that it had not resulted in any disruptive behaviors, something confirmed by his current daycare, where he's been for two years without any issues. We simply wanted an environment that could better support and engage him. After sharing this information, we noticed a clear shift in the school's tone. We began receiving phone calls with questions that felt more like attempts to determine whether our child would be a "problem" for their setup. We answered these as honestly as possible and reassured the school that, as his parents, we would not place him in an environment we didn't feel was the right fit. They asked to speak with his current teacher, and we agreed. His teacher reinforced everything we had said, sharing her positive experience and highlighting his strengths. The school then scheduled a 30-minute meet-and-greet, saying it would be the final step before enrollment. However, that visit turned out to be a very negative experience. The feedback we received focused almost entirely on the school's concerns, with no effort made to recognize or discuss our child's strengths. They then requested a second, two-hour observation to reassess whether he would be a "challenge" to their environment. At that point, we decided to withdraw our application. Throughout this process, the tone and messaging consistently emphasized how the school didn't want to enroll a child who might be disruptive, instead of showing curiosity, empathy, or a willingness to understand and support who he is. This left us with a very painful impression that our son's differences were being used as reasons to exclude him, rather than as opportunities to meet a unique child where he is and help him grow. Had they taken the time to really engage with him, it would have been obvious how joyful, social, and curious he is. Sadly, we came away feeling that the school is not equipped, either in tools, staffing, or mindset--to support children with diverse needs. The overall expectation seems to be that every child must adapt to a one-size-fits-all model, which is exactly what we were trying to move away from in the first place. This review is not intended as backlash, but rather as a message to help other families. If you're a parent of a child with diverse learning or developmental needs, we hope this helps you avoid the same disappointment and emotional strain that we experienced.

Firstly, the school space is immaculately clean and in great condition. The classrooms are warm and inviting and there is ample beautiful outdoor space for the children to explore. The teacher to student ratio is very low, which means each child truly does get individual attention and tailored care. Miss Mallory and Mr. Jacob in our son's classroom have been wonderful influences in his life. They are thoughtful, gentle, and deeply nurturing in their approach. We are leaving Ahava at the end of this week but only because we are moving across the country. We will miss Ahava greatly and will hold all other schools to the same high standards as Ahava! Thank you Ahava for providing such a safe and loving place for our son to thrive.

The staff provides excellent attention and care. It feels like home already and Oxford made upgrades at the school. For our youngster, Ms. Krystal has made the transition into the class incredibly simple. Our procare is updated often, and kids do really pick up a lot of knowledge here. At pick up, he tells us how much he loves his new school, how much he admires his classmates and all the things they learn! This isn't "another" check to this school. My mistake was going for "well known" "name brand" schools. Don't sleep on daycares & academy's like this in the area. The level of teaching and care is on another level. Always go with your gut feeling!

They do a great job teaching them routines, manners, helping with potty training and of course, teaching them the curriculum (numbers, alphabet, shapes, colors...etc). Their curriculum is complete and strong. They do frequent assessments starting at early age to track the child's progress and make sure they are on track.

March 6th he started a new daycare and when I tell you the daycare is a total 360! At Kindercare my son never ran to hug any teacher and he cried or whined nearly everyday I dropped him off! At his new location my son runs and hugs the teachers and tell me bye and waves to me as I go. He is so excited to go to school everyday and he's started communicating more. When he's out sick they call and check on him! Never had that happen at Kindercare! The energy was off there! Kids know because they can feel it too! Every single day they have lots of different activities and learning that they do that's uploaded in the app along with pictures. They also write a summary of everything they do and what they learned. Kindercare barely sent pictures and they barely ever uploaded reports! If your just looking for a daycare to have a place to put them while at work then it's cool but if your looking for them to learn and discover and have fun and enjoy themselves send them elsewhere! The classrooms at his new daycare are really large and they have two teachers at all times and about 12 students total whereas Kindercare have loads of students and one teacher! Anyway the staff at his new school is so amazing I wish I'd found it sooner ....they speak so highly of Carter and they treat him like their own and it makes me so happy inside that there are truly wonderful daycares out there you just have to look and not settle

Got my kid into all 3, and chose IPCP. Why did we choose it? The co-op approach. It's not for everyone -- you might just want a transactional relationship with your preschool, you do you -- but I was looking for a place where I could feel more involved. The coolest way to get involved is as a Parent Helper -- 1 day per month you get to (have to) work as a teacher's helper in the classroom. That's a lot of fun, you get to see what your kid is doing all day, and you learn a few new songs. Also love the outdoor focus - unless it's pouring, kids spend almost half their day outside, which I think makes my son happier and less cranky. The biggest downside is that they have limited space. So may Lady Luck be on your side.
