PROS - Playroom for younger children - Great environment and schoolwork for growing kids - Younger children are taught proper behavior and are watched constantly - Great Math, Social Studies, Spanish, and gym teachers. - Nice Church - iPads for upper class men - Un - needed security cameras CONS *ABOVE ALL THIS SCHOOL ASKS FOR DONATIONS EVERY OTHER DAY. IF YOU ARE TIGHT ON CASH, THIS IS NOT THE SCHOOL FOR YOUR CHILD* - Older children are forced to take time out of their recess to watch younger children - Recess is only 20 minutes - Upper class men aren't given the least bit of freedom whatsoever - Science teacher poorly prepares students for highschool. The teacher often wastes time by babbling about her social life. SHOULD BE FIRED. - School is very small - Upper class men students aren't allowed to carry their bookbags to classes, which I find blasphemous. - No lockers - No playground (JUST A PARKING LOT) - Teachers are all female which could be pretty uncomfortable - Only sports are basketball and volleyball - Matters are taken too seriously with the upper class men. As if they were children. I graduated from this school and can tell you first hand, if you have a steady job that pays A LOT and can't find an elementary school for your child, bring em' to OLPH. If your child is over 12 or you don't have a great steady job, then OLPH is not the place you want to send your children.

I had 2 kids in MCR, and both loved the school. Picking them up at the end of the day, I would hear…read morestories about all the exciting things they did: what they learned, what books they read, what song they practiced, what games they played outside with their friends, what art project they worked on after school and so forth. Our experienced teachers really knew kids' personalities, their likes an dislikes. They kept close track of their progress in each aspect of Montessori curriculum and customized learning for them when needed. The school is a very safe and nurturing place with talented staff (after-school program is one of the best I've seen) and rich traditions. By the way, their celebrations are simply amazing! They remain among our most precious memories from that time.

My son started going to Montessori Children's Room (MCR) at 19 months and we loved this school, and…read morehe seemed to as well. When he was about to turn three this past September, he moved into the 3, 4 and 5 year old class. That is when they noticed he had a hard time sitting still and focusing. He was about to age out of EI (Early Intervention) and start CPSE (Committee on Preschool Education), which would mean the therapists that were approved (Speech, SEIT and OT) could work with him in his classroom environment. However, MCR does NOT allow ANY therapists in this school to work with children who have been approved to receive it. So, we were left with no other choice, and had to scramble to find a new school in the middle of October of 2018. Not an easy task considering that most were already full by that point. Luckily we found a school that my son adores. It is a play based, loving and nurturing environment, that is so in tune with nature and outdoor play. I guess everything happens for a reason, and we were very fortunate to end up where we are now. MCR does wonderful things with the students, my son learned a lot in his time there. Their holiday show and graduation are amazing as well, along with their camp. That said, Montessori is not for every child, especially a child that requires therapy of any sort. What bothered me about our experience is how they didn't give me any feedback of his behavior in the baby class (NK) prior to moving up. We did have parent teacher conferences twice in the school year, but they never spoke about how he was disruptive, couldn't focus or sit still. Had I known this was going to be an issue, we could have looked for other schools before he started in the toddler class. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth, as we felt forced out of there in a way. In closing, I debated on whether or not to write a review about my experience with this school. However, I recently learned the same thing is happening with another child there, so I wanted to give other parents a heads up before you consider going to this school.

I write this review to save a future parent and child the aggravation,discrimination, and racism that occurs within this school. I was not the only poc student that experienced this, and unfortunately I probably wasn't the last. I experienced several acts of racism, in front of faculty and behind closed doors, and each case practically fell on deaf ears. The administration will make it seem as though the situation has been handled but that's the farthest from the truth. The same perpetrators will still be rewarded in the end, if they are favored by faculty. The faculty also has a hand in the racism as well, whether they openly support it, reward the aggressors in the end, or commit their own acts of micro or macro aggressions. I say all this to say, save your time, and save your money. The education is also subpar at best. Even if you are not a poc student, if you don't feel like wasting your money, don't send your child here. The most they'll learn is the lyrics to sweet Caroline . Not trying to be rude at all, but it's the truth. Do with this information what you will.
