Busy Little Hands Christian Montessori School

At my initial contact with the director, Marie, I was excited for the program and environment for my son. Unfortunately, after day one, I knew she and the teachers were going to be difficult and a bad fit. It was a complete false advertisement on their part to tell me that the teachers work with the students and are patient and God centered. She explained how she understood that kids need an adjustment after being home for so long due to COVID and that my son was also adjusting to many other changes in our lives (new baby, new house, new school).  With COVID and kids staying home for nearly 2 years, there is an adjustment period. There are plenty of scientific articles explaining the fact that some children regressed, and children need to have an adjustment back to normalcy. Unfortunately, Marie was not understanding in the least and barely gave my son a chance to adjust and show his true self. On the morning of Day3 she dismissively said we could not return, without warning the previous day, and did not even give us a chance to discuss or make plans. This is not the Christian way to handle children and not a Christian response of love and nurturing that they advertise.Furthermore, they are not interested in the children's safety. I sent my husband (who Marie and the teachers had not met) to pick our son up early on Day 2. They must have been in such a ridiculous rush to get him out that they didn't even ID my husband or ask for his name to verify who he was. They just sent my son out of the building with this man they never met, who claimed he was picking him up. He wandered around the building, in search of the school and office, for a while and noticed kids napping on their own in a room without any teachers present (meaning anyone could walk in and out with a kid unaware by the teachers).

So thankful that my child was able to attend this school. Individualized, unique, and Christ centered programs was what my child needed. Very loving staff, clean and safe environment. My child made great friends and we met great families. My child will truly miss this place!
