I'm a parent of two children at Aspen Hill. We have been nothing but impressed by the care and curriculum at AH. I have read the other reviews here and have to say I'm shocked to read them. Any time we have seen minor issues between kids, the teachers have always been right on top of it. They follow up with parents if needed, and do a lot of work around citizenship skills, social skills, and taking care of self and others. Every teacher we have encountered is very aware of what is going on, and they know each child very well. There are parent teacher interviews that show just how in tune they are with their students. And, as mentioned, they don't hesitate to keep parents informed when issues come up. My son had some temporary regression with his potty training and all the staff were very encouraging, aware and helpful to support him. We never felt they were anything but helpful to him and us in this situation. We worked closely with his teachers to find a solution, and they celebrated with us as we did. In addition, my daughter went through a phase of separation anxiety and again, they were aware, supportive, and eager to work with me to help her. My older child's academics (colouring, printing, attention span, numeracy and practical skills such as dressing himself) have grown by leaps and bounds since starting here. My younger one has also grown immensely in her knowledge of new concepts and attempts at things like crafts, puzzles, and dressing herself. Both also get to do things like yoga, Spanish classes, music, and outdoor play. I'm a professional in early intervention, which means I care deeply about early childhood experiences for all kids, especially my own. We were very selective about where we sent my kids, and I have been nothing but happy with our experience here. read more

I'm not sure what the other parents on here experienced, but my experience with Aspen Hill was fabulous. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, all of the teachers cared so much about my daughter, and she loved going every day. She was with Aspen for ages 1.5 - 3 full time, and learned a lot! It was the perfect alternative to daycare for a child who was ready to learn. I loved that they had time outside where there was nothing specific to do - the kids never tired of making up games and imagining things. The school was always very flexible about our needs. Unfortunately, when I was laid off from my job, we had to withdraw as I couldn't afford it anymore, but I would absolutely recommend the school to anyone. Parents who complain - remember it is ON you to communicate, ask for what you need, and stay in touch. The school has over 500 applications every session and a lot of families to look after. If you don't respond to e-mails or don't follow up.. or don't get to know the teachers by volunteering in the school and chatting at P/T interviews... you'll only get out what you put in :) read more

I had a great experience at Aspen Hill Montessori. It was one of the only schools that was willing to take my daughter at 2, as she was a more advanced learner. She had a great time at the school, and made a lot of friends. She also gained a lot of skills in responsibility, group participation, and classroom 'habits' that made her a desirable learner for future placements. She was easily able to get into the next private school of our choice. I liked how flexible the school was in offering different schedules for attendance, as well as before and after care (that was essential as I work full time). I would highly recommend the teaching staff and the environment to all parents. For the negative reviews on here, keep in mind that some people want everything to go their way with deposits etc. The school is a business, and they do a good job of informing you of the policies for withdrawal, refunds, etc. If you don't read those policies, that's your issue! Communicate with the school as you would with any private school, and you will be golden. read more

We've had all three of our girls enrolled with Aspen Hill Montessori and have LOVED it! Our oldest first attended the school in 2009 and our third-born will be completing her tenure here this year. They've all learned vital skills for life and found some friends along the way. They were each treated fairly and with dignity and kindness by the teachers and staff. The teachers are awesome, by the way and the environment is great: big spaces, smaller classrooms and a big outdoor space they can go when it's warm outside. I have never had a problem with this school of any kind or type. And again: that's after all three of our daughters attended over a time span of 8 years. A great school and I highly recommend it without any reservation at all. read more

Our son started here in the summer just shy of his second birthday. Since then he has gone on to the regular school program through the Fall and Winter and will be back again for summer this year. He absolutely LOVES it! Further to his love of his teachers and friends, my husband and I are constantly amazed at how his language and social skills improve and how quickly they do. This is a testament to the care and attention that the staff provide to the children. He is always treated with love and kindness - everyday he is dropped off with a big smile on his face and a hug for his teachers - and when I pick him up he is equally as happy. I highly recommend Aspen Hill to anyone. read more

My child attended Aspen Hill Montessori for preschool and junior kindergarten, and we couldn't have been happier. The school was warm and welcoming, and beautifully organized and decorated to provide a calm learning environment. The teachers were positive and dedicated to her success as a learner, and gave her the organizational and structural skills she needed to continue on into elementary school level Montessori. I would highly recommend any family who is looking for a personal and caring early childhood education experience to explore Aspen Hill's programs. read more

Amazing Care Provider! Our 2.5 year old recently started attending the Bambini program, and we are very, very pleased. Being our first time having someone outside the home provide care, we were very cautious, and soon became ecstatic. The entire staff is genuinely loving, attentive to our child's needs, and the other parents are also supportive of one another (first school days when children cried). read more

I love this school, my kids have been very happy here for a few years. My children are learning to read, and do math. The teachers are gentle with my children and they enjoy going. I love the before and after care for working parents, and they allow flexibility in the schedule to accommodate what days you need preschool, versus a set schedule that you must work around. read more

Our daughter had a wonderful start to her education with the school. The program was a great way for her to gain some independence, be introduced to a second language, and above all she had fun and came home happy. We have also developed lovely friendships which has been so nice to have. Monique, Lisa and all the staff have been outstanding to deal with. Thank you! read more

We highly recommend Aspen Hill Montessori. -Farzan read more

I just wanted to say that I've never been more pleased about walking into a space and feeling such amazing love and energy... Monique is an absolute gem and I would be the luckiest person to have my child go to school here. Who doesn't want an angelic human watching their child. Love and blessings Kimberly read more

My child has been going to Aspen Hill Montessori for the past 2.5 years and I am very satisfied with them!

The teachers are horrible. They think your kids worst. The owner May have a dirty heart, so do all.
