My son was born a few months before Covid hit and so I was very nervous about his first preschool experience. The Gardner school made it so easy and enjoyable for him! I especially loved that all meals are included in tuition, and the teachers were helpful with potty training. This school is very clean and tidy, and I was very satisfied with the safety precautions they have in place (locked front doors, code required for check-in/out). My son loved the themed classrooms/hallways and the staff were so friendly and kind. My job situation changed soon after my son started at the school but the staff were very understanding and we were so sad to go.

It's…read morereputation is impeccable, and our son's preschool experience has been better than we ever hoped. The teachers are so loving and affectionate, yet maintain perfect order, discipline, and manners in the classroom. With Patti, Theresa, Gail, and Stacey's help, our son began reading at four years old and makes amazing progress every day. As importantly, he has learned to be a "solid citizen" towards his teachers, classmates, and family. The school and its setting on the hillside Villa Madonna campus are idyllic, and I feel such joy every morning when we arrive. Villa Madonna Montessori has made our son excited for school and eager to learn -- the greatest foundation we could imagine from his preschool and kindergarten education.

The priceless education and character formation offered at GSCM provides my children with an incredible foundation as both students and people moving forward in this world. The teachers at GSCM work to offer individualized experiences for each student, meeting the child where he or she is at, and working with his or her interests to make learning exciting. Students experience cultural enrichment, as well as a deep understanding and love for the Catholic faith. Outdoor exploration, and a keen sense of a child's need for adventure in the natural world are just some of the key components that GSCM offers to those who attend. We could not be more pleased with Good Shepherd Catholic Montessori, not only as a school, but more like a second home for our children!

They take the faith formation seriously, but in the a way that kids respond to, understand, and love. We love how the Montessori method works with little boys (we have 5 of them!) instead of traditional schools that many times send the message of just be quiet and sit still. All around a fantastic school, and feel blessed to have found it.

He gets to spend his weekdays in a very safe, regulated, educational environment where he can learn just as much as he socializes.

We're going to continue to have our son attend through at least preschool -- and we're excited to see our expected daughter enrolled at an even earlier point.

The Administrative Staff are always on hand and awesome. More than any of that, my kids LOVE it here. We had been to 2 other daycare places before The Children's House, and we were not satisfied with the care our kids were receiving at the other places. At The Children's House, they actually teach the kids, not just put them in a room to have "inside recess" all day. My kids come home with a sense of structure and organizational skills they crave. They put these skills into practice at home and often times ask for "jobs" to do around the house to help pick up or maybe help me put laundry away. The Children's House is set up like places in the real world too. For example, they eat in a cafeteria that is set up like a restaurant, they have a cinema room, etc. So my kids are learning how to behave when we are in public, and they are used to seeing these different places that may not be day-to-day for us. At the other places, it just seemed like managed chaos and it was reflecting in my kids behavior. We have had far fewer outbursts, temper tantrums, and melt downs. I believe it was because the other places were not structured with activities, lesson plans, and play time. At the other places, I felt as though the kids were left to make their own rules all day long and they would come home with that mentality. I highly recommend The Children's House if you are seeking to have your kid(s) in a learning environment. My preschooler can count to 100 by 5's, 10's and 20's. She is doing basic math (ex. 2+2+2=6), and is trying to phonetically read. She is only enrolled for 2 days a week and these are the results we are getting. To say I am impressed with this school is an understatement. Hat's off to The Children's House for all the dedication they put into the education of our next generation!

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience with the admissions process at…read moreCentral Montessori Academy. I first applied for my child on May 14, 2024, and received confirmation. Over time, I was told he was on the waiting list, and later that he was first on the waiting list. Then that there was no waitlist and administration had changed. I remained patient and continued to follow up appropriately. Since then, I have reapplied and followed up multiple times across the past two years. Most recently, I submitted another application and reached out again only to receive no response at all. I understand that staff may be out of the office at times. However, a complete lack of communication and follow-through over an extended period reflects a breakdown in process, not just timing issues. As a parent, it's frustrating and discouraging to feel like your child's application is not being actively managed. I genuinely like what this school represents, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Strong schools should have strong communication especially in admissions, where families are trying to make important decisions. At this point, it's difficult to feel confident in how prospective families are handled.

I have nothing but positive things to say about AAK! We enrolled our daughter (21 months at the…read moretime) about 4.5 months ago and our son started at 14 weeks back at the end of January. We've been extremely pleased so far with the care they're receiving. Our daughter is really thriving. She transitioned from an in-home facility, so it was a big change for her. They do such a great job of balancing letting them play and go wild while also keeping structure and learning. She naps well, eats well, plays well, and is constantly learning new things. Her teachers have also been a huge help recently with potty training! The teachers in her class are on the younger side and have the energy it takes to run around with a bunch of two year olds all day Our son is doing well too! He's been napping well, he's getting his bottles on time, and is a pretty happy little guy every evening when we pick him up. The primary teachers in his classroom are ladies who have likely already raised their families. They are very loving and affectionate and also have the patience it takes to deal with crying babies most of the day A HUGE selling point for us is the camera system. Personally, I cannot even begging to put a price on the peace of mind I get from being able to check in on my kids whenever I want. Whether I am just missing them or want to check in for other reasons (has my daughter peed her pants and had to change clothes today? Ha) it is really really beneficial. Each day we get a paper for each child that says when they went to the bathroom/had their diaper changed, when they napped, when and what they ate, etc. For control freaks like me, this is great. I'm a "the more information the better" person. Anytime we have had comments/suggestions, they've been addressed and implemented immediately. For instance, we asked if our daughter's teachers could give us more feedback on her days and they immediately started writing little "high/low" recaps on her papers for us. We asked if they could give her a late afternoon/early evening snack to help with her "hangriness" on the car ride home and that same day they started an additional snack. Long story short, we have most certainly not been disappointed with our choice!

Overall not a great experience for us personally. Some teachers are absolutely amazing (especially…read moreinfant room and age 2) but the preK room was a mess this past year with a ton of turnover from the teachers to the point where I didn't even know who was in my child's classroom. Then one teacher decided to hit on my husband which made him super uncomfortable and he refused to do dropoffs for quite some time. My kid is far from perfect which we know and understand but they had me convinced there were serious issues at play so we put my child into therapy and had them tested for ADHD and personality/behavior disorders. All the tests came back negative and the therapist and counselor couldn't figure out why we were there since my child was considered a normal 5 year old testing boundaries and understanding feelings. My child has attended many birthday parties and they are always praised for being the best behaved child there and we have few to no issues at home. All poor behavior seems to be related to AAK. There are cameras in the room so you can check in often but the teachers rarely have control of the classroom and they are often on their phones which I brought up to the front desk staff multiple times to no avail. The high turnover for the room also results in teachers with various discipline styles and not always age appropriate. I have saved all communication with the center and I have an email from the center telling me that they believe in ignoring bad behavior which is why they don't talk to my child when they are upset. While I understand the concept, this often led to escalation that could have been avoided by verbal communication and respect. One discipline action was to have the child write "I will not disrespect my teacher" over and over again.... Did I mention this is a 4&5 classroom where they can't read yet? In another example After the news shared about a school shooting my child came home and said that the teacher told them that happened because kids didn't behave!!! I was furious on that one as my child was convinced misbehavior led to getting shot. When my child was finally expelled for violence we never received a written letter nor an incident report but instead were just told on the phone that my child wasn't welcomed back. The other parents and I have a group text and no one heard the same story of what happened and I still don't know what all happened that day (I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle of what the center, the kids (including the other involved student), and my own child have told me). Based on the other reviews on here I imagine the daycare will reply back back blaming me and my child as they usually do but I just recommend any new parents talk to other parents before enrolling and talk to parents with children in the upper classrooms who have had experiences. We were there 5 years before my child was expelled and as a result I also pulled my second younger child which is a shame because they loved their teachers. But I just couldn't risk them ending up in the same situation as the older sibling. If you do go here I also recommend Not letting your child move up classrooms early as they get bored quite easily and routines are the same. My child was in the last classroom since 3.5yrs old (even though its a 4&5 room) and they were learning the same things at 3.5 as 5.5yrs so there is no division in the class for different coursework based on age or intellect. We have since moved to a new daycare and my eldest is doing amazing!! They are being challenged intellectually, have had no behavioral issues, and are loved by their teachers: Either the change in centers changed my child or nothing about my child changed but the issue was with AAK. I debated posting a review but its important that parents to talk to parents. Everyone will likely have a different experience and I'm sure some people will have a wonderful 5 years there but this was just our experience and even if we are an outlier I felt it needed to be shared.
