Happy Minds Montessori

We love Happy Minds! The teachers are incredible, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The classrooms are awesome, filled with cool stuff for hands-on learning. My kid has grown so much, gaining confidence and a genuine love for learning. The school values community and teaches important life skills. If you want a nurturing and fun pre-K experience, this is the place to be.

We spent 2 1/2 years at Happy Minds and I could not be happier about our experience there. The only reason we left was because the location no longer worked for us, and I have not been able to find any other school that compares to Happy Minds. From the moment I met Inga and Anne on my first tour, I knew Happy Minds would be the best place to care our son. It is clean, updated and impeccably maintained. The daily programs are well planned and varied which kept my son interested and engaged all day long. He thrived in that environment and was always happy to get up and go to school every morning. The staff - especially Inga, Anne, Jaynie and Jen - cared for him as if he was their own. They offered incredible support and guidance to help his growth and development. I looked forward to the photos that were posted on the app every afternoon, and received a full detailed report at the end of the day. It helped me feel fully connected to what happened during the day while I was at work.

My daughter loves the teachers and Inga. She has the best teachers who are always attentive and caring towards her. She is my youngest and we wish we had found this center earlier so all our kids could have the same experience. Highly recommend!

my children attended this school for 7 months. The 1 year old class was AMAZING. The staff cared for my children and I could observe the growth in them. When my children transitioned into the 2 year old class there was a complete change. The lead teacher was rude and unprofessional. My children were not allowed to bring back packs to school (when I witnessed other classmates who did), the teacher reported "SHE did not have TIME to heat their Meals, most importantly my children were showing behaviors that they were being scolded (with pointed waving fingers). When the issues were reported to the director she reported that her abilities were limited due to staffing. I received negative reports EVERYDAY that continued to create the negative relationship between the children/myself and the staff. I was waiting the the parent/teacher meetings to have a 1:1 conversation with the teacher, however it was "cancelled" and she provided the progress reports hand written at the front door in the midst of a rushed drop off. I did not want to remove them from the school in a haste knowing that there is an adjustment period. I know for sure my son was not engaged during class from the photos posted and his development was not progressing as it did in the previous class. In the end when having a conversation with the director about them being removed from the center, I was told that my children was not a good fit for the 2 yr old class, however they would be welcomed back for any other class in the center. I feel terrible that I subjected my children to this environment for so long. My children have been in a different school for the past 4 months and have flourished. Now I know it was for sure that TOXIC learning environment. I am rating the 2 stars because of the staff in the 1 year old class and the director was very knowledgeable.
