    Princeton Montessori - The mark on my son's arm. Never got a video or an incident report on what happened

Please beware and research other schools before enrolling. My son attended this school for a couple of months. Before Princeton Montessori, he attended a different school and never had issues. He adjusted well and was happy there. After moving him to Princeton Montessori, everything changed. He cried every morning, didn't want to go, and this continued for months. I thought he was just struggling to adjust. Now, I wonder if something else was going on. Parents aren't typically allowed inside, which I liked as a safety measure. However, we received very little information about how our son was doing. One morning, I went inside to refill my water, and his teacher told me my son had been having "extreme behavioral problems" for A MONTH. I wondered why I was only hearing about this then. She said he played "guns" too much and played too many superheroes. My son was THREE years old and didn't even know what a gun was. He had never seen a gun or watched anything involving guns, and he had never played "guns." She explained what he was doing, and I realized he was pretending to shoot Spider-Man webs. I explained this to her. The next day, the administrator, Tina, told me my son was no longer allowed to play superheroes. I found this unreasonable for a three-year-old. To be fair, our son was having behavioral issues at that time. We were seeing some of the same behaviors at home. My issue wasn't that the school told me about his behavior. My issue was that these problems didn't begin until he started at this school, and he absolutely hated going there. When Tina and his teacher told me he was struggling, I did everything I could to help. We took away toys and privileges and tried different things at home. Then, one day, my son came home with a mark on his arm. I immediately contacted Tina, asked what happened, requested video footage, and requested a parent-teacher conference. At the conference, I expected to see the footage. When I asked about it, his teacher, Ms. Shireen, told me there was no video. She said, "I don't think teacher would do that, our teachers are highly trained, the footage has been erased." I asked how it could have been erased when I requested it over a week earlier. She said she didn't know and offered no apology or explanation. I left extremely upset and messaged Tina. I asked whether it was normal for parents not to receive footage when they specifically request it, especially when I had asked about it shortly after the mark appeared. SHE NEVER RESPONDED. Instead, the owner called me and said she would look for the footage. She later called back and told me it "wasn't available." I asked my son what happened, and he told me it wasn't his teacher. I brought him back to the school. His teacher continued telling me he was struggling with paying attention, listening, and playing too many superheroes. I believed he was having behavioral difficulties, so we took him to his pediatrician to have him evaluated. The pediatrician gave us paperwork for both us and the school to complete. This was days after the conference. During this same period, the school called me THREE DAYS IN A ROW asking me to pick my son up early, despite knowing we were actively trying to get him evaluated and help him. Our pediatrician explained that Montessori schools can sometimes be a poor fit for certain children because they may be less structured than other educational environments. After Tina repeatedly called asking me to pick him up early, I went to the school and explained that I was going to move him based on what we had been advised. Tina told me MY SON'S DOCTOR WAS WRONG. She then told me my son needed one-on-one care and that "it's not the school, it's him." She suggested we hire an at-home teacher for one-on-one care. Our pediatrician was appalled when we told him what she had said. We ultimately removed our son from Princeton Montessori. We put him in a different school, and the difference has been incredible. He absolutely LOVES going. He wakes up excited for school. It took him about a week to adjust. I speak with his teachers every morning and afternoon, and 9 out of 10 times I'm told he had a great day, behaved well, paid attention, listened, and learned. That experience has made me question what was happening at Princeton Montessori. I cannot say exactly why my son struggled there, but the contrast between the two schools has been impossible for me to ignore. I believe parents deserve transparency when their child comes home with a mark, bruise, or injury and requests are made for information or footage about what happened. My experience was extremely frustrating. I strongly encourage parents to research this school carefully before enrolling their children.

    My daughter went to school there for 1.5 year and she loves it. She was potty trained there and had…read morelearned so much there. The staff is super friendly and shows all the kids so much love. I'm sad we had to move but I hope the school continues to grow! I thought the cost was pretty affordable as well.

    I'm an early childhood educator and have taught lower elementary and Headstart for for 8 years…read more Before I was an educator I was in private childcare for 7. I now present to educators across TX on social emotional skills in children. I'm saying this for two reasons- one, because my career has mad me EXTREMELY picky about who I trust my child with. And two- because I have witnessed good and bad teachers and facilities both as an educator AND a mom. My son goes to Goddard full time in the summer. I've been incredibly impressed by the staff's ability to be both professional and personable at the same time. My son has ADHD, along with a few gross motor delays- and can be a handful. His teachers understand what is developmentally appropriate behavior, and how to support his growth moving forward. This has been rare for us and is appreciated in educators working with my son. He is constantly engaged and happy when I pick him up. The teachers are always monitoring and engaged with the children when I arrive. And their photos are a treat! I'm not sure what the enrollment is like in the school year, but for my son, his class numbers seem really low. I am thankful to have found a place I trust my son to be in. I trust that he is not only physically cared for- but EMOTIONALLY as well. Thank you for loving my baby! Our family of forever grateful to you all!

After calling over a dozen daycares in the area, only two stood out as worthy of a visit. Our visit at the first daycare was fine enough, but after we left the second daycare - The Goddard School - I immediately drove home and filled out the paperwork to get my still-in-utero son enrolled. I haven't had a single regret since my son started as a 3-month-old. He's 22 months now and can count to 10, name basic shapes and colors, and make sounds for countless animals. He cleans up like a champ and says please and thank you. He loves books and spends most of his time at home reading. I won't give Goddard ALL the credit - I do some things as his parent, of course - but it's a relief knowing that they're teaching him the same concepts and reenforcing the manners we practice at home. Like many daycares nowadays, they do send out updates on each child's day via an app, so at the end of the day I can see what my son ate, how long he napped, when his diaper was changed, the activities he participated in, and a few photos of what he did. And I love that they teach community involvement by participating in programs such as Fill The Bus and the ACO Food Drive. They also have monthly Parents' Night Out and frequent cookouts and festivals. The school is always clean and one of the two owners are on-site the entire time the school is open. I recommend them to everyone!
