This has been a wonderful school for our son. He started when he was 3.5 years old and is now 5. The head teacher is amazing! She understands each child's needs by taking the time to know them. I wish the school continued into the elementary and middle school years so that our son could attend.
I am very happy with the care and education that my daughter receives here and can't say enough good things. She attended other schools that had nicer buildings (and cost a lot more), but the teachers were no where near as good and my daughter complained often. This school is smaller and the teachers are very kind and patient and the environment really feels like an extended family rather than a business. They are very flexible if I need extra hours/days too. With this school, my daughter complains when I come to pick her up instead of when I drop her off! They really adhere to the Montessori philosophy and my daughter has grown so much in the 6 months that she's attended. She has learned so much and is more independent now and frequently cleans up after finishing a project or eating a meal at home without being prodded.
This school is a very special place. The teachers are wonderful, particularly the lead teacher. They follow all the Montessori techniques, the children are academically strong when they 'graduate' and the social skills and kindness towards others they teach is unbelievable. My daughter went there 3 years and my son is going this year.
The teachers, particularly the lead teacher/owner, make this school what it is. They don't have the frills of other Montessori schools - but use the sametechniques but cost a lot less. The lead teacher is warm and kind; in turn, the kids learn to be warm and kind. My son has not only blossomed academically, but his social skills and ability to interact in a positive manner with other kids/adults has improved greatly as well. We often joke that his teacher is a 'kid whisperer.' They don't have office staff, a food program, or other niceties like that, and their facility is a little old, but the pros much outweigh the cons. My son knows how to read, is curious and knowledgable about the universe we live in, can do simple math, and use critical thinking skills.
