Even during pickup after a long day, they still maintain a positive and warm attitude :) The school itself may be small, but the classrooms are spacious and bright with a Montessori setup (I liked it immediately at my first visit). Though it's a small community, it feels like a close-knit family where everyone knows each other. Room parents communicate often and organize activities outside of school, which helps the kids bond, and my children have made their best friends there. I highly recommend it!

The staff at BMS is incredibly diverse, which contributes to a rich learning environment for the children. They are exposed to different cultures and are developing a world view that is larger than their block. Miss Rubina takes a close interest in our son's progress, even suggesting curriculum and activities to keep up through the summer, which he has shown a keen interest in. The staff are incredibly involved and considerate. We are so grateful we have a wonderful school that we have confidence sending our child to. The only thing we are sorry about is that the school doesn't go beyond grade 1, we would stay as long as possible in this rich, nurturing environment.

The extent to which our oldest has flourished at My Montessori is staggering. By age 4 she could read and do basic addition. By the middle of this year, just as she was turning 5, we discovered that she has all the competencies expected of a child finishing 1st grade in our highly-rated public school system. Just as importantly, she has learned to be patient and helpful, considerate and kind. The teachers truly care about the students. I love dropping her off in the morning because I know she is going to have a wonderful day being loved, cared for, encouraged, and taught. The Montessori model has allowed her to explore so many things that interest her and the learning modules about outer space and the human body have been her favorite. Once a week a naturalist from Mass Audubon comes in to do a nature lesson and inevitably that night we hear all about how many acorns a blue jay can keep in its mouth, or how rabbits stay warm in the winter. She gets so excited and we love seeing her love of learning being cultivated so thoroughly. When a behavior issue arose with our daughter, the teacher called to speak to me about it, and we worked together to correct the problem. With a consistent approach at home and school, it was very easy for the behavior to be corrected with minimal stress on my daughter (or on me!) The teachers are communicative and supportive - I feel like they know it's tough raising kids and they honestly want to help the parents. I've really appreciated having them as teammates, working together to help my daughter learn and grow. I consistently recommend My Montessori to friends in the area, and will continue to do so.

It's not about the teachers even though they make it appear that way - sorry but daycare educators want more vacation time, a better schedule (because you have to work a 9 hour shift with an unpaid paid hour lunch break) and proper raises and bonuses (without having to move up (suck up) to management) if you are a Teacher and just want to do your job - good luck with that! Educators don't want pizza and cupcakes or staff events they want real paid time off, seniority respect, and increased vacation every year of service. When they opened their school they wanted to treat the educators well but REFUSED to look into burnout. Instead they decided to host tons of events (some being on Saturdays) and enroll children without enough staff. They also used to be opened 6:30-630 - kids never left because the tuition is so damn expensive. Kids never went home sick or missed a day because tuition is so expensive. Burnout is real and when you work long hours into the day and get few paid holidays it's really gets to you. Kiss your summer goodbye because the time off is so low that once summer comes you used up all your PTO in the winter cus you got sick or had a few things going on... 5 days that's it! Also if you're there for many years, you get the same time off package as new people. The standards are so high that you can't enjoy the children because your constantly checking off boxes, on the iPad, or dealing with " Primrose fluff" it's very hard for one human to adhere to Primrose standards. Don't even get me into the curriculum (not NAEYC) either. It's not fun if you're a free thinker or free spirit. There's no respect for seniority either. One summer I witnessed 25 staff members leave the company. It's what the owners feel is important, they want you to fit into their little box. Use your judgement if thinking about working here or enrolling your child. If your wealthy Montessori is the way to go/ private nannying/ small church preschools! Less stressed out teachers, more focus on the children for sure. Oh, and you have to wear dress pants and flats (that smell and fall off running after the kids) but at least you "look good" to the parents (Lol) and you have to purchase your own primrose shirts for uniform.

Great curriculum for kids of all ages (we started from the infant room and are now in the toddler room). Our son is thriving and learning so much on a daily basis, he absolutely loves his teachers and has lots of fun with his friends. Great staff that genuinely cares about every child. The school is super clean. Everything gets washed and sanitized each day. We love getting detailed daily reports and pictures throughout the day. Prior to enrolling into Primrose we toured every single day care in the neighborhood and none of them really compared to Primrose. Once you walk into the building you just instantly know that the school is very well managed and operated.

However, things began to decline as my son aged into the preschool classrooms. Many of the teachers were clearly unmotivated and unhappy (talking about which teachers they expected to leave Inch right in front of me and other parents), and the directors seemed at a loss of how to address what sundry child development experts have assured me is normal toddler behavior. My son has been at another center for about 9 months, and the difference has truly been night and day. He's thriving and so much happier (and less stressed) as a result, which has validated my instincts that it was the environment that was problematic.
