Choosing a school for your child is especially important when it's their first time and parents have a right to know what culture exists at St Albans. The school should just be transparent and tell parents up front, that they only want one type of child there and if yours doesn't fit that mold, then they will ask them to leave the school. Our 4 year old got accepted into their PreK program and right before school was due to start, the teacher quit. The replacement teacher was implemented and within 3 weeks of school starting, the problems began. The PreK teacher started sending us these crazy emails that were a formatted play by play and by the minute, of every interaction our child had that day. They made the most normal behaviors of a 4 year old seem as though they were symptoms of a larger problem. They tried to make it sound like our son had a problem keeping still, which may have been the case but given it was only a few weeks into the start of PreK, what else would one expect from a child just starting school for the first time. And that's not even considering children growing up in a society that was locked down for years. Her verbal comments along with the emails continued and made it seem as if our son had some form of Autism, as the teacher even suggested may be the case. She also said he might have hearing problems and that he doesn't know words... I mean the most ridiculous of accusations I've ever heard. We were left dumbfounded, none of what they were accusing him of was true. Our son went to school counting to 100, He knew the entire alphabet and could write it in both capital letters and lower case. He could spell and write his first and last name as well as say his address. Apart from him struggling to keep still at times (and we don't even really know how much of an issue this actually was versus them making it seem worse), he was not a problem child. We have had parents say they are so happy our Son was in the class because he had helped their children feel welcomed, as they were extremely shy and he isn't. We had numerous meetings with the teacher and the Principal, who reassured us the emails were indeed too much and would stop but nothing actually was resolved. They had made up their mind from the first month that they wanted out son gone. The off colored comments as well as the play by play emails continued. All of this happened over a span of approximately 8 -9 weeks from school starting. I just want to be clear, he never did anything to any other students and was never accused of such. We are talking about a 4 year old sitting still and paying attention in class with a teacher who seems unhappy to be there and struggled to control her class, despite having 2 aids there to help. We eventually found out, that many other PreK parents were having the exact same experience. There was one parent who had their 4 year old kicked out a week before we were told to leave, because "their kid was not suited for this school and couldn't sit still". We realized that it wasn't really our child who was the problem, it was the culture of the school. Although they say they never kick out kids from PreK, they do and did. Plus there are reviews out there going back to 2018 of this exact same thing happening. We were told by parents who volunteered at the class, that our child was absolutely fine, he was not being disruptive or problematic and did pay attention. After receiving the last harassing email, we had, had enough and confronted the school about it. But instead of addressing the issue, they told us to remove our child and gave us 3 weeks notice. This came at the worst possible time, to try and find a new school and enroll him right before thanksgiving! So if you are looking at enrolling your children at St.Albans then be warned. Be prepared knowing that your child might be kicked out if in the first weeks of attending, they do not sit completely still. Even if the teacher is clearly checked out and doesn't want to be there, your kids will be the ones that pay the price. They will make it seem like your child has a number of issues and is incapable of being in this environment, that they need 1 on 1 instruction which they can't provide, or something similar. You guys need to know what's really going on at this school, before you start paying $15k a year for the privilege. I wish this review could be different, I really which we could sing the schools praises but we can't. We really do not want to be in this situation and our son is going to be really hurt, having to be taken from the first set of friends he ever made. Horrible experience and I feel bad for the poor parents and children who have had to go through this like us.

It saddens me to have to write this review. I am giving this school 2-stars for the appreciation…read moreand love for the teachers our child had. If it weren't for them, I would be giving the school a 1-star review. As a parent, we always want what's best for our children and for their safety to be the top priority. Which was the case for the 1.5 years we had our child enrolled. After looking for countless facilities, we found American Montessori Academy (AMA). We were hesitant due to sharing a campus with a church, not knowing if the school was religious based, however we learned that the only connection is that the school rents the space. As we toured the facility, we enjoyed the classroom environment and the Montessori approach to learning. We enrolled our child and began our journey in Red Class. All seemed well, until we observed some odd behaviors from our child. Our child demonstrated more anxious behavior and would plead to stay home (in a 2.5 year old way). We asked questions and learned that certain children in the class were being yelled at. Our child hit the point where feelings turned into fear of the teachers themselves. We addressed this concern with the Director, Michelle, and she agreed for us to switch our child into Blue Class. Blue Class was our saving grace. From my understanding Blue Class had a larger group of children due to one of the classrooms being renovated from a leak. Our child was weary entering a new classroom and needed adjusting but the fear was no longer present. It wasn't until we witnessed the care and attention the children received from these teachers that eased our minds. Fast forward to the 24-25 school year where Green class opened their doors and AMA now had 3 running classrooms. We decided to keep our child in Blue due to the connection our child had with the teachers. While the year progressed, our child was thriving socially, emotionally, and academically. We continued enrollment through summer and everything went downhill from there. We learned that children were alone with photography staff for their school photos and no school staff were present. When the Director was addressed about this, her response was "no one else has ever had a problem with this": https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/transparencyapi/api/FacilityReports?facNum=313619751&inx=11 As many parents began to view other concerns relating to staffing ratios and teachers needing support ratios (specifically relating to 2 year olds and children with needs), emails were sent to the Director to address these concerns. The Director's response was dismissive as she minimized any concerns we had and her solution was for us was to find a new facility. On July 3, 2025 a parent found an incident report filed on AMA on the Department of Social Services website dating back to November 2024. The incident allegation was in violation of child personal rights: https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/transparencyapi/api/FacilityReports?facNum=313619751&inx=9 According to licensing every family was supposed to be notified if the incident fell under a Type A violation, however, that was not the case. Another complaint was filed about not receiving the incident and an unannounced visit was made by DSS. As a parent, I called DSS myself to discuss this incident and notify that I had not received any notification from the school. According to DSS, the Director informed him that she informed parents but she can't control if parents return the signed form. The notification of the incident was not distributed to all families and was not posted anywhere around the school. Parents began receiving the notification in other classes. When they addressed the Director, she responded by informing them that it won't be an issue because the staff that is in question no longer works at the school. On July 11, 2025 we received our letter informing us of an incident. When we addressed the Director about the incident, she told us a different story: that the child's parents requested staff to pat the child's back for nap time and whoever recorded and reported the incident did so in retaliation of not receiving a Head Teacher position. First, the stories are different. Does the staff who pounded the child's back work there or not? (By the way, the staff is still employed and continues to be rough with children). Second, if the child's parents were aware of the incident - why wasn't the report dropped and why go to such lengths to hide it. If you decide to enroll your child in this school - be weary. I honestly believe most of the teachers are great and care deeply for the children - especially Blue Class. But the administration needs to change. The way problems are handled leads me to believe it's more about the money than the children.

Our teachers Ms Sharlene, Mrs Cassie and aids Miss Madison, Miss Tate, Miss Nikki and many more, were each amazing! The easy ability to communicate with her teacher/ office is what separates them from other over crowded preschools. It was nice to view pictures of their day on the private school app. Helps ease my mind that the school is gated with a code as well. It is next to a church, but they do not have a religious affiliation. The picture company that does the school photos are AMAZING; SERIOUSLY not one hair was out of place! I was able to actually observe them during my daughter's first session and they are super kid friendly and hilarious! They learned all concepts of the Montessori curriculum as well as age appropriate academic skills, making sure they are focusing on the whole child. It taught my daughter to be independent with transitions and lunch for public school. The classrooms are very well organized, and had a cozy vibe with separate inside / outside shoes. They have annual field trips, theme days, and sweet Holiday traditions! Overall, it was like my daughter's second family, and we will miss it dearly!

I've spoken with other parents in that class and explored the curriculum with the teacher, and can see that the kindergarten is doing such a great job of preparing the kids for elementary school. The whole school truly treats the kids with Christ at the center and the culture is so welcoming and caring. I personally love that they provide lunch and snacks. Parents also bring in snacks for the class about every other/every month. The place is clean, safe, and vibrantly decorated. They send pictures, videos, and updates to parents, maintaining transparency on what's going on each day. They have a big and little kid playground with bikes for the kids to get plenty of outdoor activities as well as a big gym the kids get to play in on rainy days. My kids have learned how to pray before meals, who Christ is, and how we are saved through him. I love that my kids are excited to know Jesus, learn Bible stories, and sing their Bible songs. The teachers have also met with us to discuss the educational and emotional development of our kids. I feel 100% confident that, thanks to the love and support of the teachers at centerpoint, my kids will be educationally, spiritually, and emotionally prepared for wherever we decide to enroll them after they graduate from centerpoint preschool and kindergarten.

It has been amazing to witness my son's growth, both academically and socially, since he first started attending Centerpoint. Moreover, we have been so thoroughly impressed with the staff.
