I made a mistake and my daughter paid the price. Moms and dads with kids there don't ignore your gut feeling, I hear your stories too, you have the right to voice your opinion.

I met Nessa, the owner, about two years ago when I had to switch my son here, quite suddenly. He was going through a tough time, and she and the teachers there worked with me, every step of the way. He went from being a kid who was standoffish and lonely, to a boy who has almost too many friends to invite to his birthday parties. Nessa took a personal interest in him, and he absolutely blossomed in Little Learners. They have a location on Drumcondra road near the train station, and are opening up another location near DCU. I'm not saying you should have kids *just* to experience the wonders of this particular Montessori.... but I'm not NOT saying it, either. But your mother would probably be happy if you had kids, right? And don't you want your mother to be happy? I thought so.
