We've spoken to many to families who have had similar experiences to ours. Our children's…read moreexperience was wonderful until they reached 9-12. The teacher and assistant in 9-12 were consistently unkind and had erratic behaviors. Especially the assistant, she often shamed children for not knowing things and would yell at children in the hallway in front of parents. We ended up moving, which is unfortunate. They seem to have a wonderful middle school program with a coffee shop business. But it's not worth your child being berated daily for three years.

If I had written this in previous years, probably would have given 4 stars, but the staff this year…read moreare outstanding. Jessie and Ami in the 3-6 class are wonderful, can't say enough good things about them. The 3-6 class typically has 20-25 students. The 6-9 and 9-12 classes are quite small, which can be a pro or con depending on what you're looking for, but the kids seem to be happy/thriving. If you are interested in traditional Montessori, give this place a look. Extras during the week include music, art, Spanish, Muse Machine (which is awesome), and phys-Ed (has included yoga, martial arts and dance). They have a playground, before/after school care, and a number of family and parent social events during the year. Communication with parents is good. If I have one criticism, it is that I wish they went outside more on some of the colder winter days, but I'm from a colder state so I may be biased.

We LOVED DMS!!! Our little started at 2&1/2 (which was great for his development and social skills…read moreat that point in his life ). Where as traditional preschool would have made him wait an entire additional year before he could start. He learned SO MUCH in his four years at DMS. The teachers are so patient and loved our son like their own!! He learned so much more than just ABC's! He learned about the world and his space in it, how to be a kind friend, how to read and write, and math. And the best part was it was all at his pace when he was motivated to do it!! We loved the Montessori philosophy to "follow the child" while incorporating independent work and self-discovery! We would definitely recommend DMS to others!! We LOVED DMS!!!

This time last year Beavercreek Inspire Montessori not only left my (at the time) 5yr old…read moreunattended allowing him to leave the premises, but didn't even notice he went missing. It wasn't until a stranger found him along a busy 5 lane road did they realize he was missing from their supposed care. (The day of the incident the assistant director was unable to even provide documentation or even verbally communicate the school policy for proper child accountability!) While they have a charge of child neglect on their record, this for-profit school refused to inform any of the other parents of the incident. Unsurprisingly they have blocked me from their Facebook page so please spread the word and don't let this act of negligence continue to get swept under the rug (They only fired one of the two teachers responsible!! Sadly school video cameras revealed this second teacher was still not following proper procedure even after the incident and remained employed). All families who entrust their children to people at Beavercreek Inspire Montessori should know the quality of care, or lack their of, they are receiving. Here is a link to the state website showing the results of the investigation showing child endangerment (the child neglect claim was subsequently substantiated): http://childcaresearch.ohio.gov/pdf/000000200320_2016-08-09_COMPLAINT.pdf

When you bring these concerns up to the director, she is unable to do anything but give excuses.

Utilizing an anonymous parent survey would allow you to see the magnitude of dissatisfaction with Rachel.
