Great school with caring staff! I had my 15 month old infant here, and they took great care of her! She was always happy when I picked her up, fed and they always made sure to change her one more time at pick up so she would be clean in the car. It is expensive here, but your children are very well cared for!

After attending another montessori  and just having disagreements with staff this place was a breath of fresh air. My child is 2.5 years old and the curriculum is perfect for the age, lots of outdoor time and activities, communication they apps awesome and they're patient and you can tell care about each individual child. They know each child and parent and are so patient and understanding love them!

My son did a trial back in august and I waited this long before i put my review just to be sure that my son isn't the problem. I called before doing a tour, explained that my 3 year old is an only child,  who is used to getting all the attention, never played with other kids on a regular basis, only used to seeing us (parents) and NEVER tried to be in any daycare, preschool or any other structured environement. So it is very obvious that he will have a hard time adjusting (i don't need to be a preschool teacher/owner to know that)  and the person i spoke with was very welcoming and said they understand and have a lot of same cases due to pandemic. So my son did a half day free trial and i was told that he is not really participating on activities and keeps on running to the backyard on his first day. The next day, i got a call and was informed that i need to pick up my son because he woke up from a nap screaming, kicking and BITING (i know my son kicks-- which is not intentional to hurt other people but because he is frustrated and he screams but never, ever did i seen him bite whether intentional or not) so i know they exaggerated that part just so they have more reason to kick my son out. i went there and was told i can't bring my son back anymore because he is too much work, he doesn't participate in class and needs more care that they can't provide... while i do understand that he is a lot of work since it is his first time being away from his parents and to be in another environment. What i don't understand is why he was never given a chance to adjust. They gave up the SECOND day. this facility is supposed to teach/help nurture and they should know that it will take time for him to adjust. The mission of school is the complete opposite on what i/my son have experienced. The week after, i found another preschool, i was given the same feedback about him not participating and that he is a lot of work and cries a lot. But never ever bitten or hurt anyone. They were very undrrstanding and been giving me assurance that everything will be ok and i was told that it is normal and we should give him time and space to adjust and grow which this facility has failed to do.. now after a couple of mos, my son loves participating in circle time, loves to play, sing and dance, have learned to write from 1-100, a-z, spell his whole name and a lot more. The teacher even said that my son is very obedient. He has grown a lot and i guess i have this preschool to thank for kicking him out. Next time i go to yelp i wouldn't believe these stars.
