We've sent both our boys to Fiore Montessori for several years now. I can't tell you how fortunate…read morewe feel that our children have been able to learn in such an inspiring and engaging environment for both elementary and middle school. For the uninitiated, Montessori allows your child to learn at their pace and teaches them how to use critical thinking rather than memorization and pressure to learn. I encourage you to give your children the gift of Fiore!

As a parent, watching my child grow in Fiore's Montessori Adolescent Program has been truly…read moreinspiring. The program provides a thoughtful balance of academic learning, practical life skills, and emotional development. I've seen meaningful growth in confidence, communication, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. I deeply appreciate the guidance, respect, and support my child receives from the teachers. I feel confident that Fiore Montessori is preparing students not only for academic success, but for life as capable, responsible, and compassionate young adults.

Our family would give this school ten stars if we could! It is a great place to start out your…read morechild's early education. Compared to other Montessori schools in the area, the price is really affordable. The tuition is fair and there is no gouging with large mark-ups for children that stay the full day because their parents work full time. The teachers are very, very good. Our oldest daughter really excelled under Ms. Afsaneh and Ms. Dilhara. They gave her a solid foundation to early letter sounds and reading. Our younger child was in the toddler room with Ms. Janna. Both loved going to school. The teachers made learning fun, engaging and encouraged their natural curiosity. The school also provides meals, it's part of the tuition cost. All the meals provided are peanut and nut free - which was great for us as our oldest daughter has that allergy. The teachers were also trained and competent with epi-pens and emergency response, if needed. Our youngest daughter is allergic to eggs. The catering company provided me with monthly menus and ingredient lists so I could send alternate meals with her on the days she could not eat the school food. It was very organized and worked well. The school is located in an office complex, which has a lot of green area. They have their own playground and often take nature walks along the tree-lined parks and paths. The school provides Spanish lessons once a week. And, there are optional music and soccer classes. The teachers are very understanding and great about communicating with you on your individual child's development and needs. The school really caters to working parents. Any family-event activities are at the beginning or end of the day. And, their pick and drop off times are flexible. We recently had to move to California for work, and it has really put into perspective for us how great this school was. We've tried two different Montessori schools in San Diego, and in addition to being a fair bit more expensive, the teachers just don't compare. I would highly, highly recommend this pre-school to anyone looking to give their child a fun, positive and safe place to start their early education. Your child will have a solid foundation in basic reading and math while still supporting their natural curiosity an growth. There is a bit of a wait list, so be sure to contact the school in advance. If you are trying for the infant room, call when you know you are pregnant. For the 3+ class, the wait isn't as long, but call to find out. It's worth the wait.

Oak Hill is a very strict Montessori school. The teachers expect absolute silence and for the…read morechildren to perform all of the Montessori activities by the book. Children who do not adapt to these strict expectations are labeled learning disabled and parents are encouraged to get the child evaluated. I was told my 3 year old son had a cognitive learning disability because he did not listen. When I challenged the teacher on her ability to diagnose my child she got very defensive. When I told her my pediatrician said he was normal and he passed a hearing test Tasneem said that pediatricians do not evaluate children the way LD therapist do. When I told her we were not getting him evaluated and they should try giving him stars for good listening or try something esl she told us that we needed to leave the school in two weeks. Another parent told me her son did not do his work was not allowed to go to the playground. Other children have been expelled because they did not ask for assignments. But by far my biggest complaint is that the teachers speak horrible English. Ms. Afsahneh plagerizes her monthly newsletters from other sources. The part of the newsletter she does write is full of grammatical errors. I also note that the newletters are monthly and in arrears. When I asked her to give me updates on my son's naps, lunch, etc. she said that with a class of 18 she could not be expected to do this. They do not even give you a list of the other students names. The assistants are nice but unable to carry on a conversation in English. Ms. Asfsaneh is very unstable when faced with anything hard. When I asked her to help with potty training she got all flustered and upset with me that he was not fully trained and told me he had to be trained at home. Tasneem also told me that my 3 year old made Ms. Afsahneh cry because he would not stay on his nap during nap time. At our only conference and the one where we were asked to leave Ms. Afsaneh could not look us in the eyes. She sat with her arms crossed sething, angry that our 3 year old was "doing nothing". She would not entertain any ideas to help assimilate him to the Montessori classroom. The most frustrating part was when my husband and I separately visited the classroom our son did do the work...although he hung 2 eggs on one branch of a tree when apparently you are only supposed to hang one egg per branch.

I cannot speak highly enough of Ms. Afsaneh. When our daughter started at Evergreen in August 2024…read moreat age 3, she had extreme separation anxiety. Ms. Afsaneh was exceedingly patient, kind, and caring, and worked with us to gradually acclimate our daughter to the school. Now, our child loves her school, teacher, and friends; thrives in the Montessori environment; is learning how to read, write, count, problem-solve, etc.; and is happy! We are so very grateful to have found this school.

My daughter still asks to go back during summer vacation. We lucked out and are so grateful for Mrs. Afsaneh.

The head of the center Miss Hala is a lovely lady is always there for all our questions, goes out of her way to accommodate any requests and makes sure all the kids and parents are comfortable. I once asked for the syllabus of the next stages and it was sent to me the very same day. Miss Lisa at the front desk is the face of the center, always smiling, knows each kid and wait for it most parents names as well (She knows my and my husband's name and can even recognize our voice over the phone.. great customer service) She is amazing and we love to interact with her. Miss Nicole is awesome as well. Also knows all the kids names and she is always running around getting things done! There is not a single question I have had that she couldn't answer. Love that the staff is so well acquainted and skilled. Now for the teachers. My child has been in the infant's room since he turned 4 months. As a working mom, it was really hard for me to part ways with such a small baby but Ms. Hind and Ms. Kamala put all my fears to rest. They are the most loving teachers/care takers that my kid could ever have. They treat my boy as family and are always there to welcome him with open arms. He loves cuddling with them :) makes me slightly jealous that he loves them so much.. haha. Both Ms. Hind and Ms. Kamala have taught him a lot, and are so particular about his diaper changes and meals. I remember showing up earlier one day and my boy was eating a nice warm meal (home cooked one which I sent). I was pleasantly surprised that they cared enough to warm it before feeding him the purees. They also sometimes suggest on what I should start feeding him at home at each stage. Love this informal setting while still being really professional in the way they approach things. The app feature is amazing and makes me feel a lot better that I can see each notification on when my child ate and was changed and slept along with fun pics. Among the floaters, we really like Miss Zorina and Miss Farah. Very polite staff and love the amount of detailed attention they give to my baby. All in all this center gets an A+ from this mommy and we will keep our kid here till we can!

We've toured almost all of the reputable daycare centers around the area and found Bright Horizons…read moreat Boone to be the best choice for us. Coming from a Nanny and due to personality/preferences, our child had a very hard time adjusting to being in a group care setting at first but his current teacher here made a world of a difference. She is loving, kind, nuturing, and very patient. Most of the teachers here seem to be nice as well. We truly really like this center in general and continue to be happy with our decision. In addition to a curriculum that is fun, engaging and fosters learning with a good amount of structure, the Director Ms Hala ensures the place is kept orderly and clean. They have actual separate classrooms for each class/different age groups, which makes it organized and more structured, as we've seen it can get chaotic and disruptive having a one big open space without separate rooms (at other centers). Love the fact that breakfast, lunch, and PM snack is all provided, very well-balanced planned out meals. They have a very nice indoor gym play area as well as a nice outdoor playground. Another plus is that they are very current with technology. There's an app that we get updates of all of the meal and diaper/bathroom stats, along with pictures throughout the day each day. They are very good with communicating updates through emailing weekly Parent Newsletters of what's going on and what's coming up in each of the classes. The center celebrates holidays such as Mother's and Father's Day, Valentines, etc. and makes it a fun environment as well. We are happy with the staff that we interact with including Ms Hala (the director), Ms Lisa (the front desk business manager) who is so helpful and answers every question and concern thoroughly, as well as Ms. Anita and Ms. Simi (current teachers), who really put their hearts into caring for the kids in the class. Our little one is very happy here. Cost is on the higher side but totally worth it for the peace of mind and a healthy, thriving, and clean environment for our little one! I have to say while touring the many daycare centers in our area, this and only one other Bright Horizons (Greensboro) gave me a true warm feeling where I could feel that my child would be safe, comfortable, and clean, and that I could actually leave my child there.

My eldest daughter spent two years of happy time here. My younger daughter is now studying at this school. I want to share a touching experience and explain how this school handled this challenging issue. When my eldest daughter was in the Pre-K class of Appletree II, she told me an incident between she and a girl who was a little older than her. At the outdoor playground, that girl talked to her and another Asian-looking child, "You guys are so ugly! I don't like you, so I don't want to play with you." After listening to her words, I am very sad. Why did such small child say such hurtful words? I reported this to the management of the school. The principal made a very wise arrangement. They incorporated world music and culture in the music curriculum of the school. Through music, young children could understand that there are many people in the world who are different from themselves. They speak different languages ​​and sing different songs. At the end-of-semester performance (Apple Tree Show), children sang a lot of beautiful folk songs in different languages. It was unforgettable. Apple Tree II is a wonderful school. I am very blessed and happy to send my children there.
