I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience with the admissions process at…read moreCentral Montessori Academy. I first applied for my child on May 14, 2024, and received confirmation. Over time, I was told he was on the waiting list, and later that he was first on the waiting list. Then that there was no waitlist and administration had changed. I remained patient and continued to follow up appropriately. Since then, I have reapplied and followed up multiple times across the past two years. Most recently, I submitted another application and reached out again only to receive no response at all. I understand that staff may be out of the office at times. However, a complete lack of communication and follow-through over an extended period reflects a breakdown in process, not just timing issues. As a parent, it's frustrating and discouraging to feel like your child's application is not being actively managed. I genuinely like what this school represents, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Strong schools should have strong communication especially in admissions, where families are trying to make important decisions. At this point, it's difficult to feel confident in how prospective families are handled.

Everyone at CMA is kind, patient and loving. They make each child feel safe and confident, so they…read morecan learn without anything slowing them down. CMA has mastered authentic Montessori education (as American Montessori Society members). Not all "Montessori" schools do it right. Here, from the materials (wood, not plastic) to the environment (bright, clean, natural), to the people (warm and experienced), CMA does everything right. My family is so lucky to have this treasure in our community.

My son has spent the past year at this montessori pre-school. Before deciding on Trent I looked…read morearound and determined this was the best non-denominational pre-school for me and my child. The school is very up-beat, organized, professional, friendly and the teachers are all really easy to get a long with. My child LOVES it here and can't wait for summer to be over despite a ton of activities I've done with him, just so that he can go back to school. The other day I was telling a stranger about Trent after she commented on how good his reading was (we were reading a small book while waiting for our car to be serviced) and my son who is 6 and usually quite shy, piped up and said "AND it's the BEST school I've ever been to" (he had been to two others prior). It doesn't get better than that.

I have had an incredible experience with Childtime! My daughter has attended here for years now!…read moreThe teachers feed them helathy meals and challenges both their creative side and their learning skills. they have played such a big part in my girl's progress, and I also love how in the summer time she gets to go on little field trips to keep her summer more exciting. They are very empathetic with the kids but also are not afraid to put their foot down respectfully which is very much needed now adays! they're always going out of their way to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy including the parents. Thank you for becoming family to us Childtime!

My son was born a few months before Covid hit and so I was very nervous about his first preschool experience. The Gardner school made it so easy and enjoyable for him! I especially loved that all meals are included in tuition, and the teachers were helpful with potty training. This school is very clean and tidy, and I was very satisfied with the safety precautions they have in place (locked front doors, code required for check-in/out). My son loved the themed classrooms/hallways and the staff were so friendly and kind. My job situation changed soon after my son started at the school but the staff were very understanding and we were so sad to go.

I've spent a few months here under the Classroom Buddy program. Essentially, you carve some time…read moreout of your day to spend it with a kiddo that needs a little extra educational help or encouragement. You become their "buddy." You're decently vetted before you can step foot into a classroom. There's a short application process and you must be legally background checked (with the fancy blue paper background check, not just an online one). Once approved, you get a 5 year badge and you're able to check in to the school. I'm impressed with the organization of this school. I'm in two separate classrooms and both teachers are great. The kiddos are all respectful and care to be in school. The office staff, cafeteria staff and paraprofessionals are very personable with each kiddo. It's a lovely sight to see! As for the Classroom Buddy program, it's easy to get set up if you email the school for details. Even a small amount of time with a kiddo each week could change their perspective on many things, both short and long term. You can change a child's life. Yes, YOU.

"Kids count at the Mount!" Such a silly sounding motto, but at the same time it's cute…read more I attended this elementary school from 4th grade to 6th grade and had a pretty good time. I really enjoyed and looked up to all of my teachers. They were all amazing and wonderful people who taught me a lot. Some of them are still there! They have an accelerated program and a magnet program that brings in students from all over outside the Mt. Washington area. We were taught Latin in preparation for the curriculum at Walnut Hills High School even though not everyone went there. I also learned how to type about 60 words a minute when I was in the 5th grade, which is something most people can't say! This is a great school for your young ones to attend. There is even a huge playground in back for recess!
