Arcadia Montessori has been wonderful! Our son started in the Infant Room at 4 months old and…read morerecently moved into the Transition Room, and we have been blown away by the level of care he receives. Why we love Arcadia Montessori: Outstanding Staff: All of his teachers and the front office staff go above and beyond to make our son feel deeply loved and welcomed. Fun & Engaging Curriculum: They keep the kids active and learning with plenty of outdoor play, painting/art projects, animal visits, water days, etc. Total Peace of Mind: I love the Montessori method and its focus on independence and real-world skills. It's nice knowing he is in a developmentally rich environment with experienced staff. He also loves it there so much that some days he doesn't even want to leave at pickup. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about this school - I was nervous having someone new take care of my child, but at Arcadia Montessori, he has thrived! We were so lucky to have Ms. Chelsea as his toddler teacher. She is such a kind person who shows she truly cares about every single kid in her class. My son has learned so many life skills and has been so genuinely cared for here!

Little Lantanas has been my son's school for the past 2 years and it was the best decision we made…read morefor his social, academic, and emotional development. This is a very small school that creates a close community of children that really care about each other. My son loves coming to school every day because his friends and teachers are patient, caring, and kind. He always says Mrs. Elledge and Ms. Tae are his favorite teachers. My son struggled at other schools but Mrs. Elledge welcomed him with genuine care and intention to understand him and guide him through the Montessori program. It is a school that develops the whole child and where each child is seen as an individual. This means children are taught academics at their pace, taught how to engage with their environment and classmates with respect, and where the teachers have a relationship with each child. Now that my son is going to first grade, we will always cherish the time he had at Little Lantanas and will definitely be back to visit!

Mrs. Elledge is a long time educator with a depth of experience. she challenges herself and works to deepen her skills by continuing her education. She truly loves education and is GOOD at it. Her love of learning directly impacts the students. My kid is happy there and absolutely loves the different learning activities they have. At pickup he often wants to take me in the classroom and show me his current favorite work activity. Little Lantanas without a doubt has been the best school for us.

We're going into our 8th year as a Villa family and I am so grateful for this wonderful school…read more Both my kids are thriving socially and performing at or above grade level, based on state testing. It's true that if you're looking for a very rigorous/college prep academic experience, this likely isn't the right fit for your family. Villa seems to focus more on fostering curiosity, creativity, independence, community, and leadership. And yet, proficiency in reading, writing and math somehow just seem to happen. Our kids' teachers have been so caring and exceptional at creating a safe and positive classroom community where learning happens naturally. The handful of times I've brought a concern or request to administration, they have been extremely receptive and taken action where needed. It's clear the staff and teachers really care about the kids and their families. No school is perfect, of course, but Villa is a great fit for our family and I'm certain they will be well-prepared for high school when the time comes, both socially and academically.

When I found out I was having a baby, one of my top priorities was finding suitable childcare. I…read moreknew I would be going back to work and wanted to have arrangements made well in advance. Who would've thought quality daycare comes with applications and long waitlists? 5 months before I was due, I started researching and scheduling tours. I had heard nothing but stellar things about Montessori. That combined with Villa's infant room, almost unheard of at these schools, was an immediate draw for me. I don't want to bore you with the details but after several postponements of our tour, unresponsiveness from staff members, and clear internal miscommunications, we never even got to see the facility. I had to go out of my way to try and establish a relationship. After several attempts, I wrote an email advising we would not be pursuing childcare at their facility. The director went above and beyond to contact me and asked if we could set up a phone call. I agreed but did not receive a call at the scheduled time -- icing on the cake. I experienced a huge lack of professionalism with Villa that I'm not willing to risk translating into something more serious in care of my LO.

They require all students to wear a maple bear T-shirt which is great, makes getting ready easy and provides extra layer of consistency.

From her second day, she gets "excited" to go see her teachers (Ms. Darla, Ms, Kelsey, Ms. Bianca and Ms. Betty) and little friends in Bear Care 2. Originally we hesitated sending her to daycare at all as we were worried about missing out on so much of her critical developmental months, but after seeing how much she enjoys it and how much she has improved at things she used to hate (tummy time, floor time, etc), we know we made the right choice. We also love getting photos and updates on the app throughout the day. Thank you, Maple Bear staff!

We've shared so many special milestone and learning moments here, and I'll carry these teachers in my heart forever. The kids still light up, hug, and praise their teachers from the younger-year classes, they truly feel like family. When our kids have gone through tough moments, the Director and teachers have met them with patience, understanding, and thoughtful strategies. They work hand-in-hand with us so the redirection and support at home match what's happening in the classroom, which makes such a difference.

This facility was a first for me and my children, I cannot being to tell you the fear of letting my children be cared for by others except myself or family but I had to work. These woman are amazing! CONSTANTLY reassured me as much as I needed, always took the time to answer the phone or send more pictures if my son was having a hard time saying good bye to me in the morning. They have such a experienced and caring staff I trust them over my own family lol!! This place has put me at ease and that is just the most important feeling in the world to me, to make sure my kids are being properly cared for and loved when not with me. I can't begin to explain my gratitude to Downtown Kindercare I highly recommend Downtown kindercare if your looking for a loving, compassionate, nurturing and educated staff!!! These woman are heroes in my eyes ALSO, through the wonderful Kindercare app I am able to get photos of my children and their daily activities! Including what they eat for meals, nap time durations even potty breaks! This place is amazing! Staff is so welcoming my children run into their arms in the mornings! Can you imagine the comfort that gives me!
