We just adore what Dara is doing at Journeys. My kids come home with paintings, crafts, stories, handwritten worksheets. The teachers are always so nice and helpful. Every month there's a new schedule with new programs. The teachers are always so helpful in keeping us up to date on where the kids are and their learning skills. The classroom is small so the ratio is small--which we love. If you're considering sending your kids to a preschool I'd suggest Journeys, we love all the Montessori tools and always look forward to all the holiday activities. Parents are always allowed to join in on the fun for the day, lots of fieldtrips and lots of pictures!

Had my daughter here 1 day. Chaos at drop off, and when I went to pick her up this was the…read moreexperience: 1) I looked through the toddler room window to see if I could see her playing. There was a baby sitting on a table by herself, lights off, with no one in the room. 2) Went to the front. Employee answered with no mask on. 3) Told employee about the baby. She casually said "oh ya, they do that all the time". 4) Brought me my baby and said "BTW two other babies had their mouths on her bottle and sippy cup so you might want to sanitize them because she has a peanut allergy right?" My daughter has a lot of dietary issues and she didn't even know her allergies when I provided the list and communicated her needs multiple times. Even dismissing the allergies, another child had their mouth on a bottle with my breastmilk in it. Who knows how much they drank... The staff couldn't explain how it happened, especially when she was supposed to be fed separately due to her allergies. They had no details because they didn't work the morning. Terrible communication. 5) End of the day toddler sheet showed 3 hours between changings (policy is supposed to be 2) and didn't log her nap. Not a huge deal but still. Against my gut I brought her the next day hoping maybe it was an off day and that I would feel better. After 3 hours I was so anxious I went and picked her up. At pick up I asked how she did and they said "She didn't cry as much as yesterday." Wth?! My baby is SO social. She loves kids and never cries around them. Huge red flag. I politely emailed and told the director I would be withdrawing my daughter and asked for a refund since she was there for less than 2 days. She sent a nasty email back. We went back and forth a few emails, and once I told her I was going to report her to the DOH, she freaked out and sent the most unprofessional email where she actually admitted to not wearing masks, verified the child on the table, and blamed my one year old for the bottle because her "preference" is to throw them. She's one.... When I went to pick up the rest of her things later two staff members didn't have masks on (still had 2 kids in the room). Worst of all, the next night a dark purple/green bruise from a bite mark set in. My 1 year old was bitten ON HER CHEST and no one notified me. They probably didn't even know it happened because of the lack of supervision. Maybe this is why she was crying the whole first day...I attached a pic. Makes me sick to my stomach to think about how this happened, especially on this area. Whatever you do, do not enroll your child here. The teachers seem nice enough but this place is a disaster. She was mad that I looked through the window without permission. I've never heard of a facility that didn't have an open-door policy for checking on your baby, and we can't go inside because of Covid. I'm glad I did because that's how I saw the baby on the desk. No wonder they don't want anyone looking with all the chaos they have going on. I don't care about the money. I wouldn't have taken my child back there even if I had paid a year up front. It's been a week, my daughter is happy at a new center, and I STILL have major mom guilt for ever bringing her there. Seriously...run!

Kelly Lake Montessori is decent enough if all really need is a daycare. The staff or "teachers",…read moreare so outnumbered by children, it doesn't seem like any kid gets much individual attention unless they're crying or getting into trouble for something. When I dropped my son off and picked them up, he barely got so much of a "hi" and "bye" from the staff. If your child is doing the Montessori program, don't expect to be clued in on what they're learning or what subjects they're working on. Toward the start of the school year, I had asked if they do weekly or monthly newsletters to keep parents in the loop, and what followed after was 1 or 2, and then it stopped again. None of the staff seems happy to be there, and we never really felt welcome. Maybe I'm comparing too harshly to his last preschool where the teachers were warm, the program was clear, and they went above and beyond for everything, but I've just disappointed by this place. I'm giving it a 3 star because it's not a bad daycare, my son had some fun days there and made some friends, but I want to let other parents know my thoughts before making their decision.
