Our son loves coming to school every day and we've seen him flourish through the patient and knowledgable care given by his wonderful teachers. Lessons and daily activities are well-planned and developmentally appropriate. Our family feels comfort knowing that Willow House is licensed by the OEC and that Executive Director Susan runs the center like a wheel oiled machine with thoughtful policies and procedures to keep the children safe and sound. We feel blessed that we were able to secure a space at this wonderful center.

My daughter turned three years old this past March we started Willow House this January when she…read morewas 34 months old. As a mom who had only let my mom and mother in law watch her while I was at work it was definitely an adjustment for me but Willow House showed me they care for my daughter just like she is part of their family. My daughter attends the preschool program three full days a week with the before and after care program and the amount she has learned in these past months is incredible. The preschool teacher Jess is amazing and the main reason why we picked this program. The lessons and themes are constantly changing and the children are learning new things everyday. I am amazed to see the progress my daughter has made thus far. When I ask my three year old what she loves about Willow House she tells me the activity centers which are constantly changing based on the theme of the week. I am so thankful to have found Willow House and would highly recommend this center to all my friends.

My child went to MDD from 9 months to 27 months. There are so many wrong things about this daycare…read more My child was so miserable there. Every morning she was crying not to go daycare because her teachers force her to follow every rule. I feel terrible that I didn't take my child from this daycare early enough. -Till 21 months, my child was in the infant room. 21 month old toddler and 3 month old were in the same room. Their needs are so different from each other. But daycare doesn't care about their development needs. They didn't give fork/spoon during her lunch in infant room. -The classroom my child goes had 4 times flea problem in 2 months. My child got constantly got ticks/fleas in this daycare. My child also got so sick in this daycare. Almost once a month, she was getting a virus from daycare and not going to daycare because of fever. -It is not very clean place. Infant rooms smell like poopy diaper. -Transition from infant room to toddler room was not smooth. My child couldn't adjust to her teachers and had nightmares first months. They could transit slowly. -They don't use technology at all. They decide to close the daycare for half an inch snow and they don't send any email or text to parents. They put some sign in checking desk. Then you have to arrange your work last minute because of bad communication. -There are so many holidays, vacations, closings. You have to take so many day off from you work because of MDD's abundant holidays. -This daycare is very structured. Teacher prepares an art project and children make the same exact art and teacher is so proud of everybody did the same thing. It doesn't encourage creativity, self expression. -If it is music time, children have to sit in circle. If they stand, they are forced to sit. Everything is about following the rules. This is same for every activity. They are forced to do whatever teacher wants like a nun school. If child cries or doesn't want to participate a certain activity, teachers force them. They don't care what child wants. -You have to take your child to daycare at 9 am, if you are late, you might be invited to parent/teacher conference about how their program is structured and missing one activity will destroy the child such as such. -There is always birthday or some reason to eat cake,cupcake, ice cream or other junk food. One week, every other day my child ate sugary things. We don't give sugar to her at home. -The first thing teacher says to my child every morning "what pretty dress/cloth you have". I don't want my child appearance oriented. These praises are so wrong. -Teachers always say to toddlers, "you are big girl/boy, don't do this", "don't do that". It creates too much pressure on toddlers that they have to behave like big girl. They ignore child psychology. -They don't ask any feedback from parents, they don't listen. If you are late 1 minute, the director lectures you 5 min and you have to pay 5 min late fee thanks to her lecturing time. We were so miserable as a family in this daycare. We are so glad we left.

Wonderful staff. Extremely fair business practices. My son is very comfortable and happy here. And…read morethat's a tall order for a 2.5 year old! I love that my son is learning to wait his turn, follow directions, stand in line, and explore this creativity. Front office staff is awesome and teachers are very open with feedback from the day.

Children's House of Montessori on Camp is a wonderful, nurturing school. Two of our boys are…read morecurrently enrolled and we could not be happier. The Head of School, Ms. Taylor, cares deeply about the wellbeing and growth of each child. The lead teacher, Ms. Karla, is incredibly warm and caring, and has been meeting the unique needs of each of my children. This is a true Montessori school: the environment is carefully prepared and when you observe the children in class, they attend to their own work happily and independently to the sounds of instrumental music. We are so happy we chose CHOM and cannot recommend it highly enough!
