Everything below has been reported to the authorities…read more My grandchildren go there. Their Mom is working on finding new care for them. There's been several incidents prior to today, but what happened today was unacceptable. Parents need to be aware. Prior to today, my daughter picked up the kids at least four times and the youngest had a dirty diaper. Not wet. Dirty. She had diaper rash several times. One has autism. With therapy, speech is improving but still a struggle. My daughter received a call a day or so ago complaining that there was verbal bullying. Nope. No examples. Just verbally bullying. Unless circumstances are perfect, there are struggles with a complete sentence. They were also left unsupervised long enough to climb on top of a bookcase. There's been several other incidents, but those were the big flags. Today was a full banner. My daughter received a call around 430p that one had an accident. Theyd has never had an accident since potty training nearly a year ago. When asked why they didn't just change clothes, no answer was given. My daughter had to leave her job to go to the daycare. Once there, she found them covered in feces. They'd left them in that mess. And no extra clothes. The clothes were gone. By the time she got home, their skin was red. While at the school when being picked up, they were distraught. Theyd asked to go to the toilet while on the playground, but were refused. When my daughter asked why, she said that she would've had to take all 17 kids inside, so they should've waited. A three year old? Also concerning. She said all 17 kids. The ratio for 3yo is a maximum of 1:15. One last note: when my daughter reported this to the state, she was told it wasn't the first report of neglect.

I found this school to be a safe alternative to the local public schools in Troup County, GA. My…read moreyoungest child LOVES LCS, and my middle child found it to be religiously tiring for a teenager. I appreciate the dedication of the staff, and I am a fan of their practice of holding students accountable. Academically, I found LCS to be appropriately challenging, with the exception of science, of course. I would love to see LCS offer more outdoor play time for all ages of students, because it would be one more benefit for children in need of less restrictive environments, and it costs nothing. I'm happy that my children attended, and I believe that the faculty and staff care about my children.

Love this place. My baby is there and he loves it too! The staff is welcoming, friendly and loving…read more I feel great knowing my baby is getting care for there !

I can't say enough good things about Hillside. This school has become an extension of our family…read more The level of skill and passion these teachers and staff have for Montessori education is amazing to watch. We have had one child there from 18 months through Lower Primary, and our second child starts in a few weeks. The value of sending our children here instead of to a daycare has been huge. Watching friends who live other places and don't have a Montessori option send their kids to daycare where they pay more money for a bare minimum level of childcare has been eye opening. At Hillside, we always know our kids are safe, cared for, happy, and learning. When our son was 2 years old, he came home singing a song that we couldn't quite understand the words to. That night at bedtime, he pointed to a map and said "That's North America!" That was when we realized he had been singing the continents song all afternoon. He has grown in practical skills (helping us with dinner every night), creative ability (he loves painting and drawing), and emotional maturity (helping with his little sister because he is used to "being a leader" in the classroom at school). I don't write reviews often, but Hillside deserves more than five stars.
