"Overall this is an excellent school at a very convenient location. It has potential to be a top pre-school if more investment is made and better teachers are hired. There needs to be a shift from daycare mentality to a curriculum based Montessori pre-school quality. And my top grieve from this school has always been the communication provided to the parents on a daily basis. There are other schools which send daily emails to parents about what the class did and a weekly email to parents specifically about what your child did. That would really be appreciated by full-time care parents who do not have much time to talk to teachers at drop-off (pick-up time teachers are only there for after-care, so they don't know much)."

"We thought the tour was informative, thoughtful and professional. An outstanding reflection on the Montessori program & philosophy of respect for the individual."
"Overall the school has gotten a lot better ever since the new director (Devinka)took over. I am really happy with the outcome and it looks like the school is now stable with the staff and building. I can see that everything is back to normal. Devinka is doing a fabulous job keeping everything under control. So happy that she is apart of this school."
"Overall the school has been very good. There was one instance when we were stuck in traffic and were going to be a few minutes late to pick our child, and we called the school. The staff at tat time (I do not wish to name) was not courteous and did not seem to realize that these are unexpected situations and no one wants to be late to pick up their child. We would obviously covered the cost of the overtime but the staff was not cooperatie. If such a situation occurs again, we will consider enrolling in a diferent school because safety of our child is paramout. other than that the school is wonderful and our child's teachers and the current director are very engaging and communictae clearly."
"The teachers are amazing and my kids love their caregivers. However, when I talk with people about my experience, I have to add that administratively there is a lot lacking. I'd love more information on what the kids are learning, interested in, etc. My infant receives a daily report, but my older child receives nothing and the primary teacher is not there when I pick-up, so all I'm left with is asking a 4 year old what they did. Also, there seem to be some weird behind the scenes politics and/or in-fighting happening between the staff/teachers that other parents have mentioned to me and I've observed as well. Leave that stuff in the back. Parents shouldn't see that. Also, since the new director has started, I've been so much more satisfied. She has made improvements that were much needed. I've also started see more investment going back into the school. Sometimes it feels like we're just a line on the parent company spreadsheet and a profit margin that needs to be maintained and I don't see investments being made in the school itself. In the 2+ years we've been there, very little infrastructure, classroom, outside improvements have been made. If I was to visit the school today, I'm not sure I'd enroll my kids. I keep them there because I really like my kids teachers and they are learning, but honestly, I do have them on waitlists at other places."
