My son has learned so much since being enrolled here. The staff are skilled, professional, and they are friendly. They bring out the best in every child, and their academic program is great!

Good lord if I could put a 0 and maybe some red flags on here I would. I was looking into pre-schools for my daughter and decided to look into the montessori route. I currently pay over $1000 a month for my Childs daycare which I do not mind at all, I care about the quality of the school, and how much the staff cares for the kids. Upon researching which I always do, I noticed an alarming trend....all of the 5 star reviews are only after a month of the child attending the school. Let's be realistic, there is no way to have report on the school and how well they do or are with your kids after only 30 days, kids need time to adjust!! Upon reading more reviews I noticed all of the GENUINE reviews stated that the school offers gift cards if you write a 5 start review after the first month, and if you do not comply, they will kick your child out of school. If you don't align perfectly with the wealthy parents then you are simply not respected. If your toddler is not prefect, they will be treated poorly and ultimately expelled. These reviews are not real please be aware. Just take notice of how the school responds to their reviews and the arrogance and disrespect in the responses..

My twins have been going to their school for almost a year and a half now. At the time of admission , the owner had told me how they strive for 5 star and need honest reviews so if there is any chance of improvement they can work towards it. So here is my detailed review:
Pros:
Dedicated staff
High emphasis on education and discipline
Kids have learned a lot in the last year and gained a lot of confidence, they are 5 year old and read very fluently and doing addition and subtraction so good. They have definitely gotten a lot smarter.
Cons:
Give trouble every now and then about kids having fever when they know in the morning kids are wearing jacket in the car and tend to be warm when they get out and that's not really a fever if their temperature is fine in a few minutes but sending kids back him is frustrating especially when both the parents are working. It just makes me wonder if they are doing it on purpose when they are short staffed.
Outdated means of Communication- with changing times they haven't been able to keep up, even the means of taking monthly fee is outdated. Nothing is online with them.
Owner/principal is a very arrogant and disrespectful person, favorite thing to say is how he has been in business for 15 years and how we are the first parent to have any issues even though the first complain I really made was after a year otherwise I had been ignoring small things since every place has its pros and cons we can't get it all in one place
Their best teacher who was highly dedicated and seemed like she truly cared for the kids development just left which was very disappointing.
Kids don't get much outdoor play time, wasn't a big deal for me but for some parents it could be.

I have a daughter that started at NGMS at 5 years old. She was coming from a situation where behavior in her private kindergarten was out of control. When I visited NGMS my main criteria for having my daughter there was strong academics, a welcoming atmosphere, and a good behavior management system. As a teacher myself I could tell very quickly that NGMS offered exactly what I was looking for. I truly believe the staff at NGMS cares for the students, takes a personal interest in each child, and wants each child to excel to their greatest capability. My child went from knowing letters and most sounds to reading cvc and cvce words. She is also able to do simple addition and subtraction that my other child ( in 1st grade) is currently doing. I have no doubt she could skip her regular kindergarten year and go into 1st grade if that was what we wanted. Overall, every person that my child has dealt at NGMS has made her a priority and I appreciate the education she has received.
