She is rude to the parents (except when new customers tour the center). Its an act. When Ive tried talking to her about my child, she acts like I am a bother, every. single. time. My daughter & most of the children think she is, "mean & not nice at all". They are afraid of her! What is Mary doing being an "educator"? The owner, Ann, is wonderful, as well as the teachers Ive met over the years, but, I removed my child months ago & hope changes are made.

My 3 month old son just started at Montessori Academy. As a first time mom, I was nervous to drop…read morehim off at daycare and it was very emotional. However, even on the first day, his teacher and the staff there made us feel so welcome and at ease. His teacher, Mrs. Kelby is so kind and warm. It was obvious that she would take great care of him which made it so much easier to drop him off. They send pictures and updates on how his day is going which makes being away from him a little bit easier. She is so amazing at making sure he gets plenty of naps, meals, and tummy time! I know he is thriving there and extremely well taken care of. The facility itself is clean, safe, and inviting. I recommend Montessori Academy to everyone I know!

The teachers truly care about your children - in any of the rooms. We have been in the infants/twos/threes and going into fours and especially right now I would have no qualms about my kids being in any of the rooms. So many teachers are tenured and have the experience needed to keep the kids engaged, learning and productive. They were so accommodating and great to work with for potty training. We love NHA and look forward to seeing what they are up to each day. Proud to have them as part of our "Village".

My two-year-old nephew was attacked while sleeping at this daycare. No child should ever be put in…read morea situation where they are harmed while under the care and supervision of people who are supposed to protect them. When they picked him up NO ONE knew what had happened to him. Complete NEGLECT!!! What makes this even more disturbing is the extremely concerning teacher-to-child ratio. There are reportedly around 15 children to just one teacher. That is not supervision -- that is a recipe for neglect and unsafe conditions. Children this young require constant attention, monitoring, and protection, especially during nap time when they are most vulnerable. The fact that something like this could happen raises serious questions about the level of oversight, staffing, and safety procedures at this facility. Parents trust daycares with their most precious thing in the world -- their children. When that trust is broken in such a traumatic way, it cannot be ignored. I strongly urge other parents to ask very hard questions before enrolling their children here, and I sincerely hope that the appropriate licensing authorities investigate this facility immediately. No family should have to go through something like this. Children deserve safety, not neglect.

Serious concerns about safety, professionalism, and respect…read more One of the owners (Lyndsay) of this daycare repeatedly parks in the handicap parking spot without a valid placard or plate, even after I spoke directly to the other owner Holly about it and Lyndsay in their messaging system. Law enforcement has been called multiple times and tells her to move her truck, yet she continues to do it. My child even told me that Lyndsay asked him what his mom thinks about her truck parking there, which is completely inappropriate and unprofessional. Communication with this daycare is also extremely poor. I called and messaged multiple times through their app before school started to confirm their pickup procedures, and no one responded until after the first day of school. The voicemail I finally received gave no real information, and when I called back, no one answered. To make matters worse, they didn't pick up my son on his first day of school. I only found out an hour later when the school messaged me to say they had to contact the daycare to come back and get him. The response from the garden of learning was, "Well, at the worst case scenario, you know if we don't pick them up, the school will always call us to go back." That is not an acceptable attitude when you're responsible for children's safety. These situations put us in a very uncomfortable position because I no longer felt safe or comfortable leaving my child in their care. Once I found other accommodations, I decided to pull him out of the daycare entirely. Between the lack of communication, disregard for accessibility laws, and dismissive attitude toward serious issues, I will never send another one of my children here and would strongly caution other parents to think twice.
