I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. As a public school educator for the last 17…read moreyears and a certified reading specialist, I was extremely particular about the school that my child would attend. I knew that I wanted a school that practiced the Montessori philosophy with fidelity as it aligns with everything I have learned as best practices in my years of Orton-Gillingham training and graduate education in literacy development. The teachers at Montessori Children's House have the level of knowledge and expertise that I aspire to, and they are masters at their craft in every sense of the word. As a parent, I have seen how my five-year-old--who had been a reluctant learner--has learned how to read words, sentences, and books and write in cursive. She has been completing addition and subtraction problems with four-digit numbers as well as multiplication equations. She has learned about continents, countries, and cultures, with regular presentations on specific holidays such as Diwali in India, St. Lucia's Day in Sweden, St. Nicholas Day in Denmark, the Lunar New Year in China, Purim, Holi, and the Bengali New Year delivered by class parents to name a few. My child has held a snake and eventually, the snake's babies, while also caring for guinea pigs and raising chicks and butterflies. She studies Spanish vocabulary, creative movement, sewing, weaving, and painting. While this school offers a phenomenal academic education, the lessons they offer in grace and courtesy, executive functioning skills like planning, organization, goal setting, sustained focus and attention, and self-management (tenets that are built into the Montessori approach) are invaluable. I know in my heart of hearts, as an educator, that this type of education could have impacted my own students' lives greatly, and it has been one of the greatest opportunities that I have been able to give to my child; I know that this school is setting her up for academic, social, and emotional success long-term. Perhaps my favorite aspect of this school, however, is the tight-knit community that we have here. My child has made friends with children who are kind, curious, imaginative, joyful, and from countries all around the world. The parents are equally kind, curious, and joyful, and we have enjoyed many school events at local parks conversing and nurturing our children together. Enrolling your child in this school is an investment in their future that is truly priceless.

The school seems behind the times on Montessori education, especially as it relates to psycho-social development. AND the school hasn't bothered to replace its lead water feed.

We have loved the that the school is…read moreplay-based and the co-op model has allowed us to witness her experience in the classroom firsthand. Child's Play is such a special community because of the parental involvement. It's so comforting for me to know that my daughter has both incredible teachers and fellow parents in the classroom to support her when I am not there. I cannot stress enough how truly dedicated and experienced our teachers are at Child's Play. My child requires some additional support. Between offering additional resources for her in the classroom to attending IEP meetings on their own time, the teachers at Child's Play have played a vital role in our daughter's growth and development. A maximum of 5:1 child:adult ratio has allowed her teachers to take the extra time with her when she's needed it. We are very grateful for this very understanding, knowledgeable and autism-friendly community.

I received no phone call no contact at all no incident report nothing. I asked her teachers what happened they said "they never noticed anything" & then continued to tell me all these imaginary scenarios on how it could've gotten there. At the end of the day no one could tell me how it got there and all they could say was that they didn't notice anything and that she wasn't crying. Smh i spoke to jenn poole the director and all she could tell me was the same thing the teachers said that they didn't know how it got there & shes sorry. Lack of supervision is an understanding. No one was watching my child & no one working there could tell me how it happened. My child had that bruise for over a week. Im pretty sure my 2 year old was crying but they didn't notice anything. Do yourself a favor - Do not bring your child here.

Some times they wouldn't even witness the bullying my child and things that would be done.. my child would come home and tell me and then they try to find out what went on after the fact... if the teachers are hearing or seeing, what the hell are they doing?! Lori is quite a shitty person, she's the director. She's hardly even there to knows what in the world is going on with the place. So I called LICENSING ON THEM AND LICENSING TOLD ME TO CALL CHILD NEGLECT!!! As other people said there is a HUGE disconnect between the staff there. It's honestly sad. PLEASE DONT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE. I honestly feel bad allowing my daughter to stay in this kind of environment. Kayla is honestly the only genuine person there and it just shows through how she is with the kids . Everyone else seems like they have no children experience. There's an isabel that works there as well and she's terrible. A little boy Malachi used to bully my daughter and other little kids. Why did this ISABEL ISOLATE MY CHILD... when clearly that child is the problem. And yes I seen it; it was during breakfast time when I first dropped her off and this boy kept bothering her and my daughter was moved to a table all alone... luckily another staff seen it and realized my daughter was alone and sat another student next to her. If you want unorganized this is the place to be.. you will always find a new person working with your child. And for my daughter I don't like that.
