Unfortunately, I had quite a negative experience with Tania at A Place To Grow Preschool. My son…read morewas "kicked out" after only 2 days of being at the preschool from essentially acting like a normal 3 year old. Yes, 3 year old kids can be nightmares (and mine is no exception), but receiving a TEXT from the teacher saying he couldn't return after only 2 days seems absurd. I asked her if he could have another chance. NO. I asked if I could observe the class and his behavior. NO. I asked if there was anything else I could do because I had to work from home and I depended on those 3 hours to get work done. NO. My experience with the school was entirely unprofessional and disappointing. There was ABSOLUTELY clear favoritism shown to some students versus others when I would drop off and pick up, which was very frustrating to see. A side note: Children often act out when they feel uncomfortable or unsafe in a situation. Obviously I wasn't there during the class, but I think that is something to think about when choosing a preschool for your own child.

Finding good childcare can be so hard and stressful, and after having a few bad experiences, we…read moreknow firsthand how overwhelming it can feel trying to find the right fit. We truly feel like we lucked out when we found Blooming Mind Montessori. From the very beginning, it has felt more like a loving home than a school where kids are just a number. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely love the children. You can tell they truly prioritize each child and want them to feel safe, happy, and valued every single day. Our older son also attended here after we were told at another very popular Montessori school that he "didn't fit the mold," which was heartbreaking and honestly made us feel like he was somehow a bad kid. Blooming Mind Montessori did the complete opposite. They reminded us how special he is, that every child learns differently, and that he was still just a kid learning and growing. We can never thank them enough for the love, patience, and understanding they showed our family during that time. One of the things we appreciate most is that they really let kids be kids while still creating a wonderful learning environment. The teachers put so much time and effort into preparing thoughtful lessons and always have fun, creative activities planned. There is constantly something exciting going on that keeps the kids engaged, learning, and happy. We also really appreciate that, as a school and not just a daycare, they do a great job minimizing closures, which is so important for working families. Their summer program is also amazing and packed with fun activities. The school is not especially close to us, but we still choose to make the commute because it is absolutely worth it. Having peace of mind knowing your child is loved, cared for, and excited to go to school every day is priceless. We are so thankful to have found such a warm, loving, and fun place for our son and our family.

Heartbreaking Experience with Blooming Minds Montessori…read more I'm writing this review with a heavy heart after a deeply disappointing experience with Blooming Minds Montessori. I visited this school hoping to enroll my 4-year-old son, who has a speech delay due to a brain lesion--not autism, just a delay he's actively working through. During the tour, he fell in love with the place and didn't want to leave--he even cried because he felt so happy and connected there. Unfortunately, what followed was incredibly disheartening. When I called back to follow up, I was told there were no available spots. But a friend of mine called around the same time and was told the opposite--that there were openings. That was the first red flag. I waited a bit, then booked another tour online. The system accepted my appointment. But shortly after, I received an email from the director canceling the tour, saying they didn't feel they could meet my son's needs due to his communication skills. No assessment was ever done--they made that judgment based on a single visit. This felt like discrimination, plain and simple. It's even more disappointing coming from a school that claims to follow the Montessori philosophy, which is supposed to support children's growth at their own pace, in an inclusive and nurturing environment. Instead, I felt like they were using the Montessori name more as a marketing tool than a true educational model. As a foreign family with a child who learns a little differently, this experience was not just a rejection--it was heartbreaking. We were made to feel like we weren't good enough, like my son's speech delay defined him. He is bright, curious, loving--and deserves a school that truly believes in helping all children grow. I hope Blooming Minds reflects seriously on how they treat families and whether they are truly living up to the values they promote.

My little girl LOVED this preschool! She started this school in the old location right before they…read moremoved to the new location. They started building the new location (PEAC) across the street so she was able to experience this preschool in the old and new location - it was such a privilege to experience both venues, but the quality of teaching and caring for the children never got affected. We loved the staff and the love they had for all the kids who went here! At first, at age 3, she was hesitant and scared to be left by mommy in a new place with unfamiliar faces. However after just the first week, she showed enthusiasm, expressed a strong desire to go back, and just so happy to be coming there! Miss Valerie, the director, was super friendly and personable and put me at ease in leaving my child in the hands of her and her caring staff. Miss Wanda was a pleasure to deal with every day, and she is just the most sweetest woman you will ever meet! We sure do miss this place as my little one graduated, and from time to time, she still says, "I miss my old school, mom!"

They did weird punishments I thought you'd only do to middle school or high school students, like make them sit out in the hall for being bad! We moved out of town and recently visited family near by and drove past the building...my daughter noticed the building and began to tell me her memories there. One was that her and a friend hid under a table together because she said they were afraid of one of the teachers. I've been meaning to do a review but never got the chance until after I heard her scared, first school memories today. There were a few things that were off about this place to me. For example, my wife went in to talk to the teachers to see how our daughter was doing. I don't know if it wasn't a normal thing for them to talk to parents about progress but the whole staff came in a small room as if they were all cornering my wife thinking that she was going to chew them out or criticize their process, when she just wanted to find out how her child is doing. My wife came home and told me how weird and awkward it was. It seemed as if they normally had parents come in and get mad so they had to all stack up to over power the parent. Needless to say we pulled our daughter out and put her in a more local preschool group and it was like night and day! She loved her new preschool teachers, came home excited and happy, and constantly told us she did not want to go back to stepping stone. Basically, they seemed to view my daughter as a problem and a burden, yet we heard nothing about this nor were given any guidance on correcting anything, until my wife approached them to find out why she was always sad and discouraged when we picked her up. They seemed to lack skills on addressing personal/individual skills and only seemed to go "by the book" for how to handle the cookie cutter child! I hope it's better now but sad that my daughter had these experiences.

Loved Summit Academy Preschool!…read more After having a horrible experience at another private preschool, I was looking for a good preschool to enroll my daughter in, and I'm so glad I found Summit Academy Preschool (which is NOT related to Summit Academy Elementary which has a separate entrance process). My daughter attended this preschool for a year and always came home happy. She learned to count to 100, and to even add and subtract numbers, among other things. I was really impressed! They even had a Christmas program with Santa Claus last year! My daughter was super excited. Her teachers Ms. Mckenzie and Ms. Jennifer were two lovely ladies who cared for my child learning and well-being. Every time I had a question or concern, either teacher would address it promptly. Thumbs up! My daughter was able to get to know her teachers very well as well as her classmates. Even though she will be heading to kindergarten this Fall she still talks about her friends from Summit Academy Preschool. I highly recommend this preschool, no questions about it. And remember, you'd still need to pay tuition since the preschool is separate from the charter school. The tuition itself is well priced and it is not expensive compared to some private schools out there.

The bilingual options are what brought us. Its hard to find bilingual preschools and I really wanted my children to be exposed to another language. They are also very fairly priced. They make make school fun and plan so many special little things that my kids love and remember years later. I would highly recommend this school.
