I had a wonderful experience in the 2 year old class. The teacher was great, my son had friends,…read moreeverything was good. He moved to the next room after he turned three and it quickly went downhill. He spent numerous days in "the office" without any notification for me until I got there to pick him up. I would have appreciated some sort of communication that he had been spending hours in the office, which was a glass room with a dining room table. My son had just turned three, one day I came to pick him up and the "owner "said he refused to put his shoes on and told him he couldn't go back to his class until he put them on by himself. He's three, and it was literally the first day he had ever worn shoes with laces. He had no idea how to untie them, they were in double knots. Another day I went to pick him up and he had been in the office three or four times that day for random things, and the "owner " told me he was harassing other students. I was never called nor notified of this behavior. Just walked in to my 3 year old son in "The office" for idk how long. One day I went to pick him up, and they told me he wasn't welcome back. Again never called or notified until I walked in the door. The "owner " also complained in a letter to all parents that children shouldn't be getting out of their cars after eating food on the way to school, that they could make it from the house to school without eating. And that many of the parents cars look like bombs went off inside them. I don't know how this man is over a school, but it was a terrible experience. This may not be the experience of everyone however it was my experience and I would not recommend this school.

This was a disappointing experience from the start. My son started in the 2 year old classroom and…read moreimmediately regressed academically. After he turned 3 we had parent teacher conference and his teacher told us he was not ready to move to the next classroom. Her reason was he did not meet the maturity and developmental requirements to move up. Less than 2 months later they told us he was moving to the next classroom (he had not shown improvement on the areas previously mentioned). There were inconsistencies at home and I expressed to his then current teacher, new teacher, and the director that I did not think he would handle the transition well at that time. They moved him anyway and he started showing signs of physical aggression which he never had before. I understand the need to protect teachers and other students, but this was poorly addressed. About 10 days into the new class we had a meeting with the new teacher and the owner stating we would need to pick him up early when he was having behaviors and have consequences once taken home. Later that day we were called to pick him up early. The following day they allowed him to stay a full day even though he was having behaviors and at pickup we were told he was not welcome to come back to the school. We were given 1 day, one early pickup to put into practice their action plan. The school did not take into consideration the parents concerns. They thought they knew better.

We are always greeted by more than one staffer on our way in and out of the building, usually referring to my son by name.

I was really excited to start my 2 year old son at this Montessori school. Unfortunately, after…read morejust a month I had to pull him out due to ongoing safety concerns. Their lack of communication between the morning and afternoon teacher, and ultimately to me the parent, was horrific. I was told repeatedly by his afternoon teachers they didn't know what had happened when their was a cut or bruise. I'm sure the cuts and bruises were all innocent enough, but I also know what other daycare standards are and Greystone House Montessori proved to be far below par in comparison. I would be extremely cautious before starting your child here. I'm usually not one to leave a review but since this is a place where people leave their most precious assets on a daily basis I felt it was necessary. The following were my concerns and experience with Greystone House Montessori: - Week 1 and 2: I found a few small scratches on my son and I wasn't told about them. -Week 3: Monday he came home with a few more scratches. I wasn't told about them. I contemplated bringing them up the next day, not because they were big, but because he kept getting scratched and I wasn't being told. This made me think his teachers hadn't seen them, and if they hadn't seen them, were they paying enough attention to him? Tuesday as I picked my son up and began walking out I saw a scratch that went from the middle of his chest to his armpit. I hadn't been told about it. I walked back and asked what happened to him. I was told they didn't know and he hadn't cried all day. His teacher said she did notice it after his nap but thought it looked old. His chest was bright red where the scratch was. Wednesday I picked my son up and noticed he had 2 small but deep cuts behind his ear. Again, I wasn't told about them. I walked back in and found the assistant director. I told her what had been happening and showed her my sons scratches. She said she wasn't sure why I didn't get an incident report for the cuts behind his ear and that she would find out what was happening. Thursday I was called and informed that after speaking with his morning teacher my son and 2 other students really liked to play together. They assume the scratches were happening during play time and would talk to the parents to remind them to keep their kids nails short. They also said they would work with the kids about gentle hands. Friday as I got to daycare his teacher was cleaning 2 cuts on his face that were bleeding. When I asked what happened she said she didn't know he hadn't cried. I did get an accident report. The assistant director also called to check in. Week 4 -Towards the end of the week I got off early and got to the daycare just as my son sat down to eat his afternoon snack. I sat next to him to let him finish. His teachers (2 in the classroom) were handing out food and watching the children. Most of which were sitting at their tables, 2 children were still sleeping on their cots. A little girl in front of me put too much food in her mouth and began to gag until she threw up. His teachers hadn't noticed so I told them. They both took her to the attached bathroom leaving the other children unattended. One came back a minute or so later. As my son finished his snack and we began to leave, I noticed one of the sleeping boys get up and walk to the outside door to play on the playground. He pushed the door open and stood their holding the door. I waited a minute to see if his teachers had noticed. They hadn't. The final week, I picked my son up on Wednesday and as I was putting him in the car I noticed a small bruise on his head and a band-Aid on his elbow. I wasn't told about either. I went back to ask what had happened and again was told she didn't know but she had noticed the bruise on his head. The assistant director called and told me while playing outside my son fell but his morning teacher didn't think he fell hard enough to leave a bruise. That was the final straw for me. Any head injury, big or small, mark or not, should be reported to the parent even if it is just verbally upon leaving. The staff seem to be lacking basic safety training and communication skills both with each other and the parents.

Their growth -- academically, socially, and emotionally -- has exceeded every expectation. The teacher‑to‑student ratio is exactly what young learners need. Each child receives thoughtful attention, support, and guidance, and you can see the impact in their confidence and development. The campus itself is calm, kid‑friendly, and has that peaceful, "zen" feeling that makes learning feel natural. Update: Our twins are now heading into kindergarten, and the foundation this school gave them is incredible. They're already comfortable with addition and subtraction, reading, and writing -- skills they learned here through hands‑on Montessori methods. We also love how much the school celebrates community and childhood joy. They host trunk‑or‑treat for Halloween, Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas parties, Valentine's celebrations -- all the fun moments kids look forward to. For Mother's Day and Father's Day, the children make the sweetest photo cards holding letters that spell "Mom" and "Dad." Those gifts have become treasured keepsakes in our home. The school even brings in Santa Claus for pictures during the holidays, which our twins absolutely adored. This is a true Montessori school. Don't let other reviews sway you -- our experience has been nothing short of wonderful.
