The head of school lives,breaths and sleeps Montessori - traditional only - otherwise look elsewhere...which is what I wanted. She is also extremely competent, forward thinking, a great instructor and has excellent leadership skills. This is critical since she leads a staff that she mentors. They are excellent and well trained teachers. The school integrates values, instruction and families into the learning process in a very wholistic way. My daughter (7yo) attended from pre-K to her current second grade and she has become confident and independent in her skills and scares me sometimes when she makes a analytical statement including various hypotheses and possible outcomes. I would recommend this school to all without reservation. Also -my observation as a psychologist is that the teaching philosophy involves caring for the person, their individuality, and well being psychologically which I think is critical for children in their early years. Can't say enough.....
I was not satisfied with this school at all. The director paints a beautiful picture of the montessori phiosophy, but teachers do not follow through. Everytime I picked up my son all he was doing was playing. He also disliked his teacher and would often say she was very mean.
I'm a former parent from this campus. We left disappointed that the Montessori philosophy, so highly tauted by adminstrators, did not make it into the classrooms. Strict requirements for students to comply with age-inappropriate behavior expectations frustrated my child and began to affect his desire to go to school at all. We have moved our child to a different montessori, where we are pleased to say, the children are flourishing.
This school demonstrates exactly what the Montessori philosophy professes to be. The Head of School is very intuned with the professional development of its staff and delivers what is needed in this of type of education. I would highly recommend this school if you are looking for a reputable school in the community.
