Miss Rita can pick 'em well. Our kids have learned, grown, socialized, and played a ton--exactly what they need. When we first moved to town, we looked for daycare options in every prospective neighborhood, which is to say a lot. The yard at Strawberry Farm was the first indication this place is the best. It's a huge yard. There's a "car" area for driving, grass area, playhouses and slides, sometimes a bouncy house, sometimes a sprinkler, always a sun-protected sandbox. In the summer, there's a sun shade canopy over the kid-height picnic table and benches. There's a garden the kids help with. Inside is cozy. The whole downstairs is for kids--a quiet, dark nap room, another nap room for the youngest so they can sleep longer, a music room, cozy living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom with changing station/small toilets and sinks the kids can reach. The schedule is posted in the entrance hall. The kids have drawers and hanging pockets for delivering and picking up things. More about sleep: Our oldest had just turned 3 and we were lucky there was a spot open. The little one was 1 and no spot. He went somewhere else that was...fine...he was safe and fed. However, maybe they never turned the lights off? or didn't have a quiet room? hard to imagine but he didn't nap. They said he wouldn't nap, which was nonsense. At pick up sometimes he was asleep literally on the floor of the main room. He'd sleep in the car/bike, pass out at home and barely revive for dinner. We had to move him ASAP. Once with Miss Rita, he napped perfectly fine without any trouble. Such a relief. They have healthy food and snack every day. Lunch is prepared and the menu posted daily (I love that). They occasionally take fieldtrips to the library and a local Italian restaurant (and send along any leftovers). They have circle time and interactively enjoy story books every day. They learn manners, taking turns and polite language that has been very helpful to use at home. Life is never always smooth and to help with that, Rita will always make time to discuss concerns and issues. We've talked to her when we wondered about our kids and she talked to us when there was something we could help with. That communication is important.

Before I begin, I would like to preface noting that our child is a toddler. One who has temper…read moretantrums and cry's/screams, as many toddlers do. She's probably at the more difficult end of the spectrum, but still within the normal range of toddler behavior. We Sent our child to TLE for ~ 6 months. Initially she seemed to really enjoy herself and would willingly go. More recently, we noticed a change in her demeanor- she seemed way less happy and even despondent looking. We decided to remove her from TLE and try another environment. The new daycare also noted there was another child who recently moved from TLE who had a similar experience (and the thought that something may have happened or something was not right). We emailed TLE to let them know our child would be leaving. The content of the email was not at all hostile and was very concrete and polite. We never received a response, which we thought was bizarre, but continued to give them the benefit of the doubt. When we went to grab our things from TLE, they acknowledged receipt of our email but did not offer any additional concern or even a "sorry it didn't work out". We thought this was super weird at the least, and borderline creepy. In summary, we're glad we went with our gut and switched . I realize others may have completely different experiences and would not base your decision making on this review alone. We had a positive view of the staff up until the last few weeks, and this is one case from one parent. The lack of follow up was pretty disheartening though, and the primary reason for my review, as you would think members of the caring profession would at least care to ask about the child they cared for for a reasonable amount of time. We understand there are staffing shortages everywhere, covid is not making things any better, and childcare is one of the more difficult jobs around. However, this is our story and I figured it was worth sharing.

When asked for feedback -- any feedback -- on my child's school activities, I was told, "no news is good news". When I requested once again for a two-minute stand-up conversation once a week when picking up my child, I was told that if they did it for me, they had to do it for every parent. Is that such a bad thing? As a parent paying a significant amount to send a child to a private montessori, I didn't feel it an unreasonable request for a teacher to talk to me and tell me about my child's day. When dropping my child off or picking her up, I was rarely acknowledged by the staff (not even a, "Hi"). The month that I volunteered to read with the children one day a week, the two owners never greeted me, acknowledged me, or thanked me at the end for my time. Thankfully another teacher at the school recognized that I had no idea what my volunteer duties were, and showed me what I was to do. At the end of the year, I couldn't wait for school to be over. Needless to say, we won't be returning.This was by far the worst scholastic experience...ever! I would never, ever recommend Blue Mountain.

Right when we walked in I could tell this place was exactly what we were looking for! First off I love the security of the building! You need a code to even walk through the doors! That means people that don't belong there don't get in! We toured the facility with the owner (Stephanie), she was very polite took us to the classroom where our daughter would be if we chose Primrose... I love the curriculum of Primrose! They have a well rounded approach! My daughter has learned so much in the 6 months that she's been going there! But as parents, we take the time to WORK with our child at home too! She had a balanced learning assessment in November and scored in the advanced category over all! And this assessment/report that we got is 10 pages long! Her teacher said that with scores like that she could go to any gifted/talented school she wants, all at 4years old! So between my family, and our amazing Primrose family, I say that is proof positive that they care about my child's education as much as I do!! It's proven with the success of my child! I call Primrose staff my family because they love and care for my daughter as if they were my family! Every person who works there knows our names (my daughters, my husbands, and my own), and are there to greet us every morning, and afternoon with a smile! Her teacher gives her great big hugs before we leave, and so do other staff members! I couldn't be happier with Primrose! And I'm glad that we chose to place her here! We will continue with Primroses summer program, and on to kindergarten next year! I just told one of the staff that I wish Primrose offered classes all the way through high school! So if you're looking for great care, amazing education, and a loving, balanced facility, look no further than Primrose at Standley Lake!! I promise you will not be disappointed! Everyone here is great!

There has been great staff retention in an industry where I can only imagine that is difficult to achieve.

I appreciate the Montessori principles, admittedly we chose the school based on proximity to home but the curriculum has been excellent. Any time there has been an issue, staff have handled it timely and professionally. We are even considering keeping him in the program for Kindergarten before we send him off to public school.

They frequently allow children to paint with non-washable paints (4 shirts and 1 pair of pants have been ruined), children are allowed to cut other students' shirts with scissors (1 shirt has been ruined), and they lose my child's belongings all the time (2 shirts, 1 pair of shorts, a pair of mittens, and 1 brand-new book that they requested we bring). When asked about the missing or ruined items, the teacher refuses to take responsibility for what goes on in her classroom, and the director doesn't hold the teacher accountable. Each and every newsletter they send out is filled with spelling and grammatical errors. They insist that the newsletter be in an attachment to the email, but they forget to attach it about 75% of the time, meaning your inbox will frequently be cluttered with several emails a day from this Montessori. You are required to bring snacks for 20 children at least once a month, as they are unwilling to provide them. The snacks they request are frequently out-of-season and very expensive berries and fresh-cut flowers. If your child attends for a full day, you are responsible for providing his or her lunch, or spending $4.00/day to have the meal catered. Again, this facility refuses to provide food for your child.
