It saddens me to have to write this review. I am giving this school 2-stars for the appreciation…read moreand love for the teachers our child had. If it weren't for them, I would be giving the school a 1-star review. As a parent, we always want what's best for our children and for their safety to be the top priority. Which was the case for the 1.5 years we had our child enrolled. After looking for countless facilities, we found American Montessori Academy (AMA). We were hesitant due to sharing a campus with a church, not knowing if the school was religious based, however we learned that the only connection is that the school rents the space. As we toured the facility, we enjoyed the classroom environment and the Montessori approach to learning. We enrolled our child and began our journey in Red Class. All seemed well, until we observed some odd behaviors from our child. Our child demonstrated more anxious behavior and would plead to stay home (in a 2.5 year old way). We asked questions and learned that certain children in the class were being yelled at. Our child hit the point where feelings turned into fear of the teachers themselves. We addressed this concern with the Director, Michelle, and she agreed for us to switch our child into Blue Class. Blue Class was our saving grace. From my understanding Blue Class had a larger group of children due to one of the classrooms being renovated from a leak. Our child was weary entering a new classroom and needed adjusting but the fear was no longer present. It wasn't until we witnessed the care and attention the children received from these teachers that eased our minds. Fast forward to the 24-25 school year where Green class opened their doors and AMA now had 3 running classrooms. We decided to keep our child in Blue due to the connection our child had with the teachers. While the year progressed, our child was thriving socially, emotionally, and academically. We continued enrollment through summer and everything went downhill from there. We learned that children were alone with photography staff for their school photos and no school staff were present. When the Director was addressed about this, her response was "no one else has ever had a problem with this": https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/transparencyapi/api/FacilityReports?facNum=313619751&inx=11 As many parents began to view other concerns relating to staffing ratios and teachers needing support ratios (specifically relating to 2 year olds and children with needs), emails were sent to the Director to address these concerns. The Director's response was dismissive as she minimized any concerns we had and her solution was for us was to find a new facility. On July 3, 2025 a parent found an incident report filed on AMA on the Department of Social Services website dating back to November 2024. The incident allegation was in violation of child personal rights: https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/transparencyapi/api/FacilityReports?facNum=313619751&inx=9 According to licensing every family was supposed to be notified if the incident fell under a Type A violation, however, that was not the case. Another complaint was filed about not receiving the incident and an unannounced visit was made by DSS. As a parent, I called DSS myself to discuss this incident and notify that I had not received any notification from the school. According to DSS, the Director informed him that she informed parents but she can't control if parents return the signed form. The notification of the incident was not distributed to all families and was not posted anywhere around the school. Parents began receiving the notification in other classes. When they addressed the Director, she responded by informing them that it won't be an issue because the staff that is in question no longer works at the school. On July 11, 2025 we received our letter informing us of an incident. When we addressed the Director about the incident, she told us a different story: that the child's parents requested staff to pat the child's back for nap time and whoever recorded and reported the incident did so in retaliation of not receiving a Head Teacher position. First, the stories are different. Does the staff who pounded the child's back work there or not? (By the way, the staff is still employed and continues to be rough with children). Second, if the child's parents were aware of the incident - why wasn't the report dropped and why go to such lengths to hide it. If you decide to enroll your child in this school - be weary. I honestly believe most of the teachers are great and care deeply for the children - especially Blue Class. But the administration needs to change. The way problems are handled leads me to believe it's more about the money than the children.

Our teachers Ms Sharlene, Mrs Cassie and aids Miss Madison, Miss Tate, Miss Nikki and many more, were each amazing! The easy ability to communicate with her teacher/ office is what separates them from other over crowded preschools. It was nice to view pictures of their day on the private school app. Helps ease my mind that the school is gated with a code as well. It is next to a church, but they do not have a religious affiliation. The picture company that does the school photos are AMAZING; SERIOUSLY not one hair was out of place! I was able to actually observe them during my daughter's first session and they are super kid friendly and hilarious! They learned all concepts of the Montessori curriculum as well as age appropriate academic skills, making sure they are focusing on the whole child. It taught my daughter to be independent with transitions and lunch for public school. The classrooms are very well organized, and had a cozy vibe with separate inside / outside shoes. They have annual field trips, theme days, and sweet Holiday traditions! Overall, it was like my daughter's second family, and we will miss it dearly!

A damaging experience I would never repeat…read more I am deeply sorry to hear that children are still having experiences similar to what my son endured at St. Albans more than twenty years ago. Our family's experience with the school could not have been worse. What we were told during the enrollment process did not match the reality we encountered. In addition to tuition, families were expected to make substantial financial contributions and fulfill significant volunteer-hour requirements. As a single parent, I was unable to meet all of those demands. As a result, I felt my son was singled out and ostracized--not by the other students or their parents, but by the school administration itself. My son was labeled "too active." In his class, I felt that boys were often judged more harshly for displaying normal childhood energy, while children who could immediately sit quietly and conform were treated as the ideal. Although my son was not expelled, I ultimately and willingly removed him because I believed the environment had become toxic and damaging to his confidence. In my experience, school officials were unwilling to work constructively with children who did not fit their narrow definition of the "perfect student." The culture felt arrogant, inflexible, and dismissive of individual differences. The academic expectations were also unreasonable. No fourth grader should routinely be assigned three to four hours of homework each night. I was also extremely unhappy with the poor-quality, unhealthy food served during after-school care. My strongest advice to parents is to find a school that leads with kindness, patience, compassion, and a genuine willingness to support each child as an individual. Based on our family's experience, St. Albans was unequivocally not that place.

I've spoken with other parents in that class and explored the curriculum with the teacher, and can see that the kindergarten is doing such a great job of preparing the kids for elementary school. The whole school truly treats the kids with Christ at the center and the culture is so welcoming and caring. I personally love that they provide lunch and snacks. Parents also bring in snacks for the class about every other/every month. The place is clean, safe, and vibrantly decorated. They send pictures, videos, and updates to parents, maintaining transparency on what's going on each day. They have a big and little kid playground with bikes for the kids to get plenty of outdoor activities as well as a big gym the kids get to play in on rainy days. My kids have learned how to pray before meals, who Christ is, and how we are saved through him. I love that my kids are excited to know Jesus, learn Bible stories, and sing their Bible songs. The teachers have also met with us to discuss the educational and emotional development of our kids. I feel 100% confident that, thanks to the love and support of the teachers at centerpoint, my kids will be educationally, spiritually, and emotionally prepared for wherever we decide to enroll them after they graduate from centerpoint preschool and kindergarten.

We love the environment and the staff so much, we wanted to keep him here for TK and Kindergarten. Not to mention, the teacher to student ration is phenomenal. There is nowhere else he would be receiving such tailored instruction and social-emotional support. It has been amazing to witness my son's growth, both academically and socially, since he first started attending Centerpoint. Moreover, we have been so thoroughly impressed with the staff. They are truly some of the kindest and most loving human beings that I know. As a parent, I am going to miss interacting with all of them, as they really have been a home away from home for our family. I would highly recommend this school to any parent. If you have a child who is entering kindergarten in the fall, and you are apprehensive about large class sizes, this is the place for you!
