Naomi (the director) has been amazing about communication and keeping us as parents informed with any and every change as it comes. The teachers are patient and loving, you can tell they value how much of an impact they make on every child. I can't tell you enough how much effort is put in with activities and education. My son has brought home more art work than I have room for and I am always up to date through photos every week on what he's been up to. The menus are sent out the week before and its a well balanced diet that is easily mirrored/complimented at home. Again I cant say enough about this facility!

He isn't easy to deal with but the staff has worked with me to get Care with Holly Ridge and their team collaborates to help him get the most out of his time there. They are always friendly and have fun things for the kids to do and I love having his artwork to bring home. Super grateful for everything they have done and I can't imagine why they would ever get a bad review.

First red flag: Parents are basically exiled from the classroom. You are not allowed to enter the…read moreclassroom during drop offs/pick ups. Even if it's cold and pouring rain outside. In my child's previous schools, there was ALWAYS an open door and parents had an invite to come in and lead an activity or read a book basically whenever they wanted. You get one night every couple of months where only one parent allowed to come in after hours and see the classroom and learn about what your child is working on. Second red flag: Whenever I would come to pick up my child, the (very young) teachers were huddled together talking and planning their weekends together, periodically stopping to yell at the children from across the room or play ground, and then back to talking about the sushi they were gonna eat. Third red flag: It appears that they only hire very young people. When you pay a large monthly tuition, you expect teachers with some sort of experience of formal education. Only the head teachers are trained in Montessori and the assistant teachers are not. Fourth red flag: they charge out the butt for tuition yet teachers are not paid competitive wages. They are constantly cycling through different teachers, assuming because they aren't paying well enough. It seemed like every week I saw a new teacher there. Lastly, from talking with other parents, they had a 4 year old who was going rampant with biting. Their child was coming home with bites every single day. They showed me pictures and these were BAD bite marks, breaking skin and bruising:

We loved the staff, curriculum, and that our son always came home with something he had learned or created that day with a daily sheet of activities, food, etc. Each room has at least 1 long term staff member with a few that come and go being that it's a large military community which is expected. The director Renee is great as well with communication, dedication to the program, and I always saw her helping out all levels when I randomly stopped by or at pick ups. Even though my son has now started Kindergarten he frequently asks to visit his previous teachers. I'm so happy our son was able to attend M&M!

I highly recommend this school for families looking for a great foundational learning block for their 3-6 yr olds. The only missing pieces I would recommend or suggest is bringing the building up to fire code like public schools have to. Making sure staff have food handlers cards as they prepare all the snacks. For Staff and those interested in staff positions: As a previous staff member the job is posted as part time. Zero benefits, no insurance, paid leave etc. Pay is not great. You will work 7.5 hours four days a week. 5 hours on one day. You will not get any breaks. No lunch break or 15 minute break. You are required to eat lunch with other staff and students. You will get summers off although it's highly encouraged that you help with the summer school. You will also be required to work one weekend a month to clean the school. Casual dress code. Occasional after hours or before hours for different things. Follows local district schedules with regard to holidays and snow days.

If I could give 0 stars I would. My son went here for over a year and was not only misunderstood…read morebut mistreated by a few of the staff members including the director. He has just recently been diagnosed with ADHD and was having issues in this preschool and has miraculously been doing amazing since going to kindergarten and leaving this facility. On numerous occasions I heard the way the staff spoke to my child along with other kids, and rushing them to next tasks. My son even mentioned them pinching his hands when they grabbed him. I knew something was off with my son due to tantrums and such and wanted resources to figure out what was going on that the director could hardly provide and refused to help me and when I asked for help multiple times ended up calling me "verbally abusive" because I called her and her staff out for their negligence and mistreatment of my child. Saying his behavior was due to "making choices." Come to find out he actually has ADHD which makes transitions, being yelled at, and demanded things very difficult to process. Crazy how a mom just knows their child but people try to tell you that your child is just "difficult" because he didn't fit in to a very ludicrous situation. My son is by no means perfect but really needed compassion and understanding. But it all worked out in the end!

I have to say my family and I are really grateful we found such a wonderful center. First of all…read morewhen I was comparing programs prior to choosing this one, they were the most friendly and welcoming and accommodating by far. I didn't feel like they were scripted when explaining what they can offer in the child care program or the instruction for my daughter. You can tell they are real people who love children and understand kids like structure but play time as well. The hours that they run are amazing; the best I have seen around. (I think 6am all the way to 7pm) Now I normally do only part of that but if I have to run an errand prior to pick up I know I have more than enough time. My drop off and pick up times change a lot, and can change daily which is absolutely fine with them. When my daughter started she was initially full time, 5 days a week. Now she does part time as my schedule has changed and they even allow drop in care. Since my daughter is only drop in now, I just need to call and let them know when I'll be dropping her "in". I can call as late as that morning! Another perk is the cost of care. If you have less than 5 hours a day it's a part time rate and if it's more than 5 hours the cost is a full time day. That is daily; one day can be 3 hours, the next maybe a long day at work and its 9 hours. That would be the cost of one full day and one part day. It's not all or nothing like all the other places. Last I would like to mention is the staff and director are very friendly and really love the kids. There has not been one time that I have seen them be any less then caring. I have walked in to pick up my daughter and witnessed pure melt downs of another child and they handled it gracefully and with empathy. I have no complaints. I highly recommend them.
