    Please do not discount or discredit this rating. It has taken me a very long time to come to terms…read morewith our time at this school, and if I could give a negative rating, I would. Looking for a Montessori education we came across Montessori System Preschool of Black Hawk County and considered ourselves lucky to get in. If only we knew what the next year would hold. Continual dismissals of our children. Messages and emails about needing to pick children up early due to incredibly minor issues ie: a runny nose with no additional symptoms. Children cannot return once sent home until the "symptoms" disappear, until at least 24 hours pass, or with a doctor's note. I never had issues returning with a doctor's note, but urgent care and primary providers definitely rolled eyes and expressed frustration when I took up their time (especially during cold and flu season) due a "fever" of 99.0 degrees. I'll repeat what was said in other reviews - more closures than the public school system, additional money charged for childcare during mandatory conferences or closures. Alleged behavioral issues that staff had been dealing with for "weeks" with consequences to begin immediately (ie: come get your child now), while we, the parents, just found out about said behavior and had no choice or chance to work through it with the school or help address the behavior with a child to help them actually grow and learn from said experiences. The reason I am writing this review is more due to how parents and children are treated. You and the child are made to feel small, unworthy, and at fault - always. What is happening is because you are a bad parent and you have failed. Because your child is a bad child "never in our (40 years) have we had to deal with this" ... Because your or your child has failed in some way. There are no meetings or conversations to help work through possible issues or concerns, and no efforts to treat anything as a learning experience. Children (and parents) are always learning. Day in, day out, we are learning and growing, and teaching kids how to learn, grow and adapt behavior, along with consequences for their actions, is part of why we wanted a Montessori education. What we got from this school is knowledge that some educators punish children for having their own minds, their own thoughts, and their own feelings, and I wish we were able to warn more parents away sooner. I didn't get the chance to interact with many teachers. I can tell you that we, and our child, adored Ms. Katy during our time there. The administration should answer to a board, and that board would quickly see the need to replace the administration. After leaving, I talked to former parents whose children attended years before my time, and the behavior and treatment of children and their parents has not changed in well over a decade. This school is not worth your sanity or your child's well being.

    The administration as of 2022 is ruining what could otherwise be a wonderful school. The contract…read moreyou sign leaves you with little power, and makes it nearly impossible to leave if you are unhappy (unless you are willing to pay out the remainder of the contract). My children were sent home from school almost weekly for illness, and sometimes for ones that seemed, frankly, invented. When I tried to bring one of my children back with a doctor's note to show we had waited a medically approved amount of time, the director told me she didn't trust doctors, and asked that her daughter inspect my child to determine if she was healthy enough to return. They twist facts to make themselves look good and to make people with genuine concerns look bad. Can't recommend for any working parents, or to those who wish for their children to be in school with regularity. Really disappointing.

    I would not send my child to this center's school age program for after school care. My son went…read morefor 1 year when he was in kindergarten and it was terrible. there was no structure and even though they had an adequate number of adults they did absolutely nothing. I witnessed a child hit another child with a large wooden block right in front of me and one of the teachers. When I looked at the teacher expecting her to do something she just shrugged her shoulders and turned away. On another occasion my 3 year old was knocked over in the hallway by kids running through the hallway unsupervised. On many occasions the children where running and chasing each other through the classroom when I arrived with no attempt from the adults to gain control. It was often chaotic in the classroom and the children are not safe in the classroom. My son dreaded going to this center. On several occasions I voiced my concerns to the director who gave one excuse after another about the lack of control. They clearly have no desire to fix the problems!
