    My grandson has been attending this school for 3 years. The Montessori teaching method provides an…read moreoutstanding learning environment. He started writing and sounding out words at 4 years old. The school is a community where all are welcomed, parent involvement is encouraged, and provides an outstanding education!!!

    ConS: They give great tours and promise you the world, but their follow through on their promises…read moreis weak. They struggle with communication. Upon asking for a meeting with the head of school, she refused, as I had not spoken with all of her subordinates first, even though I was paying almost $1000 per month for a glorified daycare. They spent most of their day outside, even in the hottest hours of the sun... in the dead of summer. I was highly disappointed with CBMS. They lack in diversity, and it is evident. I even wondered, at times, if race played a part in the "issues" they had with my two year olds behavior. They are not equipped to deal with any kind of transitional period for toddlers. I began getting calls to pick up my toddler two days after school began because he was crying at nap time, even though, Tracy told me that they were amazing with the kids and helping them transition. They were very supportive of my son having a bottle at nap time, and even said that they are willing to rock kids in the rocking chair, if a child is having a hard time at nap time. Then, once I paid the $800 non refundable registration fee and the contract, Tracy told me that rocking and bottles are not aligned with the Montessori way of creating independence. I would have appreciated it more, if they told me that when I was touring their facility, instead of trying to sell me on the dream, just to get the money. One of the "issues" was that my two year old would tap the teacher on the shoulder when he wanted her attention.... again, he's two. Their expectations are unrealistic. My child is not a robot, and he is an amazing kid because of that. CBMS is just not cut out for anyone who wants a positive, encouraging environment for their child. They don't even believe in saying "good job" or "wow! That was great! I'm proud of you" to kids. I wish I had been warned about them, prior to paying so much to receive so little. We left before this point, but beware- at the 6 week mark, they can dismiss your child if you don't align with ALL of their beliefs and if your child hasn't adjusted to the Montessori way (which is apparently playing by themselves and napping on their own with no transitions). Positive: The afternoon teacher, Bailey, was amazing! We loved her and her positive attitude and outlook. She always had a smile on her face, and the kids respond very well to her positive energy!

    I've never done an online review like this but my experience with Discovery Point and their staff…read morewarrants it. I'm a new mom and when my daycare plans fell through while on maternity leave we were in a crunch trying to find a new place; one we felt our baby would be safe at and provided for while we were working. A friend recommended Discovery Point, she had used them for her two children and loved it. I knew immediately that was where I wanted to go. They're so sought after they had a waiting list but I went by anyway to check it out and immediately had that mom gut feeling that this was where I wanted my baby. The infant room is clean and organized, its not cluttered, it has age appropriate toys and not too many; how many toys do that age children really need? The infant room staff have been there for a long time and they made me feel comfortable as soon as I walked in. They offered to let me come by and sit in the room with my baby so she wouldn't be dropped off in a new place for the first time by herself, and this was before we even got called with a spot! At one point we felt like we needed to be at a daycare center closer to our jobs but we couldn't find anything that gave us a feeling of security like Discovery Point. We never left and I'm so glad. They made this first time mom feel comfortable about going back to work. I literally cried when I thought we'd have to leave and weren't finding anything like Discovery Point. They set the bar so high. My baby smiles and enjoys being there everyday and if we can't be there to take care of her Discovery Point is the next best thing (don't tell grandma!) I would recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their child.

It clearly has improved all aspects of my child's life, and he just started school in September! The teacher to child ratio allows each child to achieve his/her fullest potential.
