Not wheelchair accessible either with no cameras was also a red flag. They have a problem keeping staff around, I noticed months ago and I was told during my visit that a senior instructor was leaving. I dont blame the staff because of managements spurious sense of care. No need for you all to lure parents in to visit your little house school with false promises and covert discriminatory behavior once they leave because they didnt pass your projecting manipulative test. If you dont like the look and skin colors of the intellectual parents you cannot manipulate, surely you couldn't genuinely care for their offspring. Be careful not to leave your children around people so miserable they refuse to provide or heat up food for a 17 month old enrolled at their "school" with a tuition. This is optional childcare before grade school and these are the type of people that make you want to keep your kid home schooled.

I have two children currently enrolled at Meadowbrook Montessori. My eldest has been there for 2…read more 1/2 years and has thrived in this environment. At 4 years of age my son's degree of concentration, ability to problem solve, love and understanding of nature and level of creativity are far beyond my expectations. I know with these skills he will have an outstanding foundation to grow from. My 1 year old is also greatly benefiting from this environment, at 15 months she has shown me how capable even a toddler can be. She feeds herself independently, can drink from a cup, is working on dressing herself, "helps" me with chores and takes great pride in showing me what she can do. The teachers or "guides" are all wonderful and truly care about your children. I strongly recommend this school to anyone.

The director is diligent about compliance yet struggles with transparency, communication, and responsiveness to parent concerns. With a shift toward more openness, professionalism, and support for both staff and families, the school could live up to its strong state rating. At present, my experience leaves me unable to recommend it without reservations. Communication is filtered solely through the director. Although this may be intended to protect staff, it limits transparency as it seems like the director & owner, Nargis/Mini, wants to control the narrative. I commuted over 45 minutes each way because I believed AAIMS would be the right fit for my child. Unfortunately, my interactions with the director felt dismissive. She often seemed overwhelmed and reactive rather than calm and organized. While an email policy for communication exists, this policy was selective who it applied to. A WhatsApp chat was created by Nargis specifically to update pre-K parents about the lead pre-K teacher (Maria) abruptly leaving in the middle of a teaching day. After the lead pre-K teacher walked out, the director quickly began implementing changes to the pre-K program, including adding a Spanish class that was billed as an additional cost to tuition--with only three days remaining before the next month's payment was due. This timing felt concerning and confusing, as it appeared the changes were being made because Maria reportedly did not want the Spanish teacher in her classroom. It was unclear whether the director intended these changes while Maria was expected to return within a week, or if she assumed Maria's absence was permanent. The situation raised questions about decision-making, transparency, and whether these adjustments were being implemented in the students' best interest or for other reasons. On one occasion, after receiving parent questions and concerns, Nargis dismissed herself from the group and deleted prior messages--raising valid concerns about open correspondence, accountability, and her willingness to engage with parent concerns. Minor issues have sometimes been handled in a way that feels overly public and punitive. For example, I emailed Nargis regarding a mix-up with my child artwork, noting that another child's work had been included and that I would return it the next day so it could go to the correct family. She responded defensively, blaming another staff member for the mix-up rather than addressing the situation logically. I confirmed I would return the artwork. However, the director then forwarded my email to all parents, framing the situation as a problem caused by me rather than a simple mistake. This incident reflects a recurring pattern in her approach--minor issues are often blown out of proportion, handled publicly, and rarely resolved with a practical solution, giving the impression that parents raising concerns may be framed as the problem. Additionally, when we officially decided to unenroll my child, she left his belonging on the floor for us to collect it without having to interact with us as to dismiss us. Nargis claims it's because she was cleaning but clearly my pictures/timestamp show others belongings not on the floor. She made sure to remove those things and clean when I addressed this issue to further gaslight me. I have since found another facility & confidant to say this place is a toxic mess. You & your children don't belong anywhere you are not important & respected. Areas of improvement: Communication & Professionalism: School-wide messages often lack professionalism, can feel defensive, and minor parent concerns are sometimes shared publicly to frame you as the problematic parent for having concerns. A more professional communication system for updates (e.g., ClassDojo (free)) would benefit both staff and families. Transparency: Abrupt changes (such as program additions and tuition adjustments) are implemented with little notice or discussion, making the school feel less collaborative and more transactional. Director's Attitude and Behavior: The director's approach to communication and handling concerns can come across as defensive and controlling. In a role that requires regular interaction with parents, this behavior can negatively affect trust, collaboration, and the overall school community. More professionalism and openness would benefit both families and the school's reputation.

Despite having a tedious number of intake forms asking for dietary restrictions and allergy/medical information, this school will feed your child whatever they want and completely neglect dietary restrictions. I hope your child likes sugar and dairy! Despite the law requiring immunization records for school attendance, this school will neglect the intake of these records until 2-3 months in to your child attending their facility. I hope your child DOES have their vaccines though, because they'll still contract every viral or infectious disease the moment they walk in to this school. And don't worry, this administrative team will promptly communicate absolutely nothing about these known illnesses. Even if you communicate that your child will be out sick for a few days, no one else will be the wiser!! This includes the HIGHLY contagious pink eye as well. Did you pay your tuition in full? Well I'm sure this school appreciates the money! Because it comes with absolutely 0 guarantee that your child has a spot in the class they will hopefully attend for months and months. The moment they decide to give your child's spot away to someone else, you'll know by showing up to check them in and they'll deny you at the door. Thanks for paying in full! Seeing as the principal has no shame in sending her own children around school events to ask other parents to leave reviews so she can raise more money for this school - and that's a direct quote when being handed a QR code to leave a review - - despite the abundance of children and families who all pay to attend - it seems clear this organization is a thinly veiled cash grab hiding behind the Montessori name. I would highly recommend you consider other schools in the area. This one has been 3 months of wasted money. I've either been taking care of my own child due to these sick policy failures, my child's spot being given away and the "class is already full today", or because the school is literally closed for a full week like once a month.
