My kids (3.5 and almost 2, both boys) have been attending MAS for the past 6 months. They are very…read moredifferent kids, so we looked at a lot of different preschools and daycares before deciding that MAS was the right fit for both of them. My oldest is very social, verbal and musical. But he has really struggled with fine and gross motor skills, and he gets frustrated easily when his body won't do what his mind wants. At his previous preschool, they did a lot of teacher led crafts, and while he was having fun, he wasn't really engaging with the materials. Here, they use a lot of manipulatives, which has helped him practice hand-eye coordination while introducing him to abstract concepts, like basic math and letters. He's getting better at daily tasks too, like cleaning, dressing, and tidying up. He's a social butterfly, so the large mixed-age groups seem to really be his thing. Sometimes when I come to pick him up, he tells me to come back later because he wants to spend more time with his friends and his "nice teachers." My younger son is more of an introvert. He is not very verbal, but he's been talking more since going to MAS because he wants to communicate with his teachers and friends. The teachers read a lot to him, and he can even read a few words now. He can also do some one-digit addition, which was a surprise when he started chiming in on his brother's math practice. Every day when I pick him up, he says "A good day, mama!" and he's so happy. They spend a lot of time outdoors. The playground for the older kids is very nice and spacious, but the one for the little kids is much smaller. Still, it is nice to know that they are getting lots of movement throughout the day. Sometimes they eat lunch outside too if the weather is nice. Most of all, I've noticed that they are much more independent. I set up their toy room at home using the same kind of open shelves and trays that they use at MAS, and they put their materials back on the shelves without me even telling them to do anything. Part of the curriculum includes "grace and courtesy" in which they practice manners and being nice to one another, so that's been a big help when normal sibling disputes arrive. The downside is the cost. I do appreciate that there is a small sibling discount, but it is still more than my mortgage. However, I attribute that to the cost of quality Montessori materials, teacher and staff training and professional development, and the fact that MAS is fully accredited by the Louisiana Montessori Association (LMA). As a school policy attorney, I know that this accreditation system has its own unique set of legal guidelines, which is different from other school accreditation/teacher certification systems. It's a pretty high bar. Another thing to be aware of is that the program is highly structured. Think freedom within limits. The children are expected to follow certain routines and adhere to a sense of order. It helps to implement some of their processes at home so that there is consistency whether they are at home or at school. And at the end of the day, my children are happy, and that's all I really wanted.

We enrolled our children at this Montessori school hoping for an authentic, engaging, and…read moresupportive educational environment. Our experience over the last two months has been deeply disappointing, raising serious concerns regarding educational delivery, student safety, and basic service provision.We observed no measurable educational progress in our children over a two-month period. Beyond the stagnation, we found a fundamental disconnect in the philosophy. While the school heavily promotes "independence" and self-directed learning, this was highly limited. The expectation was that students perform activities in a highly structured manner dictated strictly on the school's terms, which undermined the very concept of following the child's independent interest.The school is wholly unequipped to support children with special needs. We found a significant absence of necessary resources, formal accommodations, or even a basic understanding of inclusive education practices. Staff demonstrated a concerning lack of patience and specialized care required for children needing extra support.The combined primary and pre-primary class features a large number of children. This heavy ratio means that any child requiring extra individual attention or one who is prone to overstimulation will struggle significantly in this environment. The school demonstrated a critical failure in communication regarding student safety. We were not immediately informed of an incident where our daughter was bitten. We only found out after she told us, and the staff then confirmed the incident after the fact. Timely and transparent communication on safety is non-negotiable and was absent here.It is apparent that not all teachers are certified in the Montessori curriculum. We observed that at least one long-term staff member could not articulate the foundational "why" behind core Montessori practices, indicating a lack of basic pedagogical understanding.Cleaning was an observable issue within the classroom bathroom.Despite the tuition, the school frequently engaged in additional fundraising efforts specifically to purchase basic Montessori educational materials for the classroom. It is unreasonable to charge a premium price and then require parents to fund the core equipment necessary for the school's claimed educational model. No breakfast or lunch was provided as part of the program also. We strongly urge parents--especially those with children who require additional attention, have special needs, or who expect professional standards of communication and staffing--to seek alternative educational settings. Our decision to withdraw was based on the lack of teaching, insufficient resources, and serious operational deficiencies.

I was hesitant to leave a review at first because everything just felt too good to be true…read more We had an extremely different experience (and a lot of frustration and tears) at a very big well known school out here. It's not too good to be true. We've been there nearly five months now, two classes, one mid-switch in to their summer program, and it just keeps getting better. Every morning when you walk in the wonderful smells of fresh baked goods hit you in the face. Every day you smell blueberry muffins, French toast, banana bread, and cinnamon rolls. I'm not sure what's more welcoming, the smells or all of the happy and loving teachers working together on the playground every morning. It's the best way for a baby/toddler/pre-schooler to start their day, getting all of their early morning excitement out in a fun (and loving) environment. Every day, when you walk in, your child is greeted by not just their teacher for their classroom, but every teacher there. The director, Ashley, is extremely responsive and fast and always kind and showing a nurturing, but very professional environment. We have never had any issues with other students, and the parents are all very friendly walking in and out every day and not snooty at all. It is the best feeling to have your child dropped off and then be so excited to go somewhere and then watch them receive a bunch of hugs walking in and then give hugs and friendly waves on the way out. The cost is more than worth it and we have yet to have any weird health issues that usually happen in daycare. I know it happens, but in five months we haven't had one illness! In our past experiences, this and unexpected pick ups were a very frequent matter. I love that it gives me the impression that their environments are kept very clean (you always see the two carts every day, one with freshly made foods and one with cleaning supplies for each room!). They make fun plans for the babies, without asking for a world of donations every month. This post is not long enough for me to recommend all of the things they have to offer, but just know that as a parent, our three year old has truly thrived and come out of her shell and wakes up happy and ready to go every morning to be here! Thank you PKA, our only regret is not being a part of the family sooner
