I was there for 7 months and I can count on one hand the amount of lessons given. The children were allowed to run, scream, yell all day. No learning was happening, instead they were coloring/crafting all day. There was zero communication between the guide and the assistants, I was also told I needed to be dismissive to the children, one day a child was crying on the floor because the guide had completely ignored them. A math work I had noticed many of the children needed a lesson or a refresher, I told the guide and the guides response "I just assumed they knew because I wasnt their guide last year"! Thats the kind of guides they have at MCS. The school is also very dirty, they do not have janitorial staff, instead they make the assistants clean bathrooms and mop floors. There is mold in those buildings due to the lack of cleanliness. By the time I left, 3-4 other people had already left due to how poorly ran the school is, my advice, check the other Montessori school in the area or the ones closer to Wilmington. This one is a Montie-sorta.
