We've been so impressed by our child's growth and learning and how he has established independence at such a young age. I know reviews were important to me when searching for a school and being new to the area, and I want to help anyone else looking - this school is the real deal. We're very lucky!

It's really a family environment here. They have a lot of event where parents, teachers, and students come together. Then we can also come to the class to observe our child's development. I think that's one of my favorite things about Decatur Montessori School. We're very fortunate and it's safe to say we're not going anywhere!

However, the educators are lack luster, and the owner is extremely rude. She is very condescending, and simply is beyond unprofessional.

We are very pleased with Arbor Montessori's primary program. Both of our boys are in their final…read moreyear of primary and the experience has been exceptional, from the professionalism and experience level of the teachers, to the classrooms, to the administration, and most of all the quality of the education: our children demonstrate strong intellectual curiosity and capability, independence in actions and thought and appreciation for sense of community. Arbor is authentic Montessori and it shows in the children. Our boys minds are so alive and curious and their sense of place in the world has expanded greatly. The teachers (and administration) are adept at understandings the children as individuals and make great efforts to customize lessons around the child's interests which further excites the children about learning. We look forward to continuing into Elementary with Arbor.

My son attended Smart Toddlers Prep for 4 months. I am only removing him from the school because my…read moreneeds for full time care changed and the school is a half-day program. My son thrived since Day 1. He was always excited to go to school and was full of joy when I would pick him up in the afternoon. He began pronouncing words much better, he began pausing to think before speaking and would tell me to say YES, not huh or yea. What I like about Smart Toddlers is they keep you up to date about what is going on with your child and they are interactive with the learning they teach at the school. Their team is united and they get along very well. What I enjoy the most is that my son is happy. If I didn't need full time care I wouldn't have removed my son from the school. They really have become our family and I recommend them highly.

I can't say enough good things about Soulshine. We transferred when our now 2 1/2 year old son was…read more1. He had been in another daycare and while there was a lot of love, there was little education or intention in the things they would do with the children. When I drop my son off everyday there is no doubt in my mind that he is loved. He is always so excited to go to school and talks about his teachers and friends all the time. Soulshine really gives the parents and the kids a great sense of community. To us it is not just a daycare it is truly a school that is teaching him to be a good person. They offer healthy farm to table food, which I haven't found at any other daycare in the area. They do playball, yoga and homesteading. The teachers are truly teachers, most of them have a background in education and participate in Continued Learning classes. Finally this is a school that makes you feel like they are your partner in developing your child. It's hard to leave your kiddo somewhere for 8 hours a day and it's even more difficult when you feel like the school doesn't care about the parent. They are very transparent and will work with you on any issues you are struggling with at home. In addition they have a blog where you can see pictures of your child daily.

Our student does not go here. This is a review based on the tour and recruitment process that we…read morefelt we should share with prospective families. After touring SoulShine, a virtual group tour, we were not impressed and felt that prospective families should know about the schools structure before applying. This group of facilities does not operate to the level of a preschool and instead would be better reflected as a nature based daycare. The director who toured us was over the Kirkwood location but we saw photos of all three facilities. The rooms were well furnished but the curriculum in each space was greatly lacking with a student-led approach focusing on centers rather than a structured teaching day. We did not hear about the daily curriculum or milestone tracking for our students development. The tours involvement of curriculum seemed to be focused on what they had in each space (toys, playgrounds, book corner) rather than the learning. We were immediately put off at viewing the Kirkwood location when shown that the infant room opens directly to the outside of the building. While I am sure there are safety precautions in place there is not a way that I could feel comfortable as a parent knowing my newborn could potentially be interacting with strangers that approach the building. We will not be applying to this or any of the SoulShine locations and feel it is a overpriced daycare option and severly lacking preschool option.
