Science Day was one of his favorites, and he told everyone about Miss Hunter (partly because they shared a name) because he wanted to share what he learned in science. He tells people all he knows about Jesus, and that his teacher, Mrs. Rablin taught him. He always said the playground is the best ever. I loved that the staff was all so great with the kids. They are patient and kind, and yet firm. The kids know what is expected of them and what they can expect in return. This school provides a wonderful and positive environment for learning, growing, and making memories!

We've had a really great experience with Spokane Valley Montessori…read more Before enrolling, we saw the older Yelp reviews and had the same concerns any parent would. It's worth calling out clearly that this is not the same school or leadership. The school closed and reopened under completely new ownership and administration. Our experience reflects the current team, not what's described in those older reviews. We have two kids enrolled. One started just after turning 2 and is now 3.5, and the other started just before 5 and is now 5.5. Both of them genuinely love going to school. There are plenty of days where pickup turns into a negotiation because they don't want to leave. The teachers are engaged and do a good job tailoring learning to each kid. Our older child is on track to be very well prepared for kindergarten, and our younger one is developing quickly across the board. From a safety and communication standpoint, we've had 0 concerns. Staff is attentive, administration is responsive, and we've never had any issues with how the school is run day to day. The community is also a plus. Good group of kids, normal and engaged parents, and an overall positive environment. Bottom line, if you're reading older reviews, just make sure you understand they reflect a different version of this school. Based on our experience with the current team, we would absolutely recommend it.

My daughter attended SVM for nearly nine months, and until recently, I genuinely loved our…read moreexperience there. Unfortunately, today's interaction completely changed my opinion. The school notified parents that it would be closing early due to the smoke and that all children needed to be picked up by 12:00 p.m. I had a work meeting from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. that I could not miss. I immediately contacted the school, explained my situation, and let them know I was actively trying to find someone to pick up my daughter. I have no family in town and a very limited support system. Instead of being met with understanding, I was told by Alexa that if I wasn't there by 12:00 p.m., no one would be there to watch my daughter and it would be considered child abandonment. I have attached the messages so others can read the conversation for themselves. I completely understand that emergency closures are difficult for everyone, and I respect that staff have obligations too. What I cannot understand is threatening a parent who is communicating, being transparent, and actively working to solve the problem.

My two children have been going to Children's Montessori Center for the last five years and I haven't witnessed anything discribed as what the last person has outlined - EVER! This is a high end Montessori Center and I feel my children are in a safe and clean environment. I have never walked into CMCI to find my children or anyone else's children unattended. In addition, I feel the staff is very professional and friendly. I have never witnessed any teachers EVER yelling at children or engaging in any inappropriate conversations. My children are excited to go to CMCI every day as they make learning fun. This isn't just a daycare, it's a learning center. My children learned at an early age how to write their own name, alphabet, all the presidents (in order) and continents by the time they were 3-4 years old, just to name a few. I cannot express how thankful I am to CMCI and Debbie Henry for preparing my children for grade school. I absolutely love this school and highly recommend it to anyone. You children will thrive here!

My son always has a hard time with dropping him off in the morning, his teachers would always soothe him and try to distract him with something fun to calm him down. They have an amazing curriculum and are always doing art projects and singing songs and having a great time while learning. They also send home pictures almost daily of your little one and give you a daily report. They also have school pictures 2 times a year and every so often will have a spirit week with fun daily themes that my son loved. Would definitely recommend this daycare to anyone.

We had issues with West Valley School District and felt our only choice was private school or homeschooling. I am so glad we chose to try VCS.

I'm not saying they are the only good school or that it will be the right fit for your circumstances. But, if you are researching options, they are definitely worth a look.
