Miss Pattycake Montessori (formerly Children's Garden Montessori)

I left a positive review of Miss Pattycake recently as did another parent - and it looks like Yelp deleted them.I love the teachers at Miss Pattycake as does my son. He's shown huge growth in the last 6 weeks in terms of speech. The director is always around and she also makes it a point to stay in touch with my husband and I and my son likes her as well. A great program!

Miss Pattycake on Kipling was one of my best daycare experiences. Chloe is not the easiest baby but the 2 teachers, Miss Nayaly and Miss Eleanor, were always so sweet, patient, and compassionate even though I knew Chloe was giving them the hardest time ever! They were always on top of their game with updates and discussions, I could not have asked for better caretakers. Never have I ever worried about Chloe when she was with them. Chloe was indeed very fortunate and lucky. The class is spacious and nice, Miss Nayaly and Miss Eleanor were always very accommodating and partnering with them as been an absolute pleasure and relief.To top all of this, the school manager, Miss Kesa, is phenomenal with parent-relations, she is for sure the sweetest, most understanding, compassionate and considerate person I've had the pleasure of dealing with! I'd really recommend in a heartbeat!

We highly Miss Pattycake for your child. Our child attended this school for 5 years, beginning at 3 months old. New owners took over right before our child started in June 2017. The owners are wonderful & the director & teachers are very caring. You can tell they really enjoy what they do & teaching children to be the best person they can be. They are easy to talk to and they communicate well with the parents. Another important thing to mention is we loved that the teacher turnover is very low. Our child learned so much there and we felt starting Kindergarten would be no problem for our child.  We always felt our child was safe and well taken care of, always happy to attend each day & was always happy when leaving at the end of each day. Please consider sending your child here. It will be one of the best decisions you can make for your child.

My child has been attending this school since the age of 9 months. We are approaching 4 now. This is a wonderful place to bring your kids. My child has learned so much, and has many of the same friends around  since they began in the infant class. The teachers are very friendly and kind and make it easy to leave your children with them. There is a laid back atmosphere where it counts for the parents, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of learning happening. Since we have been going here, the grounds and buildings have undergone a lot of improvements. There is also an app that is frequently updated with photos and daily activities throughout the day as well. Picking a place to trust your children with is not easy. Miss Pattycake Montessori is honestly the most stress-free experience in childcare I could ever ask for. I appreciate the teachers' flexibility and love for my child. It is clear everyday we come, how excited they are to see us arrive. They make it easy for everyone, child and parent, at Miss Pattycake and I'm very grateful we found this school. As mentioned below, they have a spotless record with the state as well.

Both of my children are at Miss Pattycake, and it has been fantastic. My son started at 10 months in the infant room, then moved up to the 1 year old room, now in the 2's. He has done wonderfully, picking up new skills, and he doesn't want to leave at the end of the day! He gets lunch there, naps like a clock there (home is a different story, hah), and started telling me "Thank you" which was definitely from school. They do painting and reading and play outside on nice days. Our infant daughter is there now in the infant room and doing very well. We get detailed reports about how much she ate and slept, which is crucial for evening planning. This place has given us so much peace of mind.
