While I was traveling for work I wanted to find a place to train and saw that Impact was close to…read morethe hotel where I was staying. I had reached out to see if I could do a drop-in and was told that I'd be welcome. Impact's motto is 'Good People. Good Jiu-Jitsu,' and after having visited I wholeheartedly think they live up to it. Rob was teaching the class that evening which seemed to be a mix of experienced and some more experienced beginners and some folks who were had started more recently. He broke down the moves and techniques down enough to be well understood by all levels but still let a lot of time to get a lot of reps in. The evening I stopped in was a nogi class, which is a style I generally avoid because it's a lot of wear and tear on the body. I didn't feel as beat up as I thought I would be, not to say that it wasn't the fast paced game that nogi typically is. What's more there was a focus on stand up that most schools usually avoid. I'd definitely go back to ABQ for another drop in and if I ever end up in ABQ on a more permanent basis Impact would be the place to train.

In 2023, it was time to go back to work after having my daughter. I decided to enroll my daughter…read moreat this location. She was 6 months old, in the infant room. She did really well in there with Ms. Trista. When it came time to transition to the toddler classroom 12-18m it went well except her main teacher ended up leaving after a few months. Ms. Amber ended up being the lead teacher. My daughter the older she got was then in a classroom next door for 18-24m. This teacher also ended up transferring to a different location. Once my daughter was in the 2 year classroom (willow) I believe she was finally stable with two teachers and did well. Sadly the location and a few things my husband and I noticed with the school have led us to move our daughter to a school nearby our home. Out of all the staff, I have personally noticed these teachers go above and beyond for my daughter. Ms. Trista, Ms. Rosa & her 2 year old teacher in Willow. I can't remember her name. I felt they genuinely took care of my daughter like she was their own. There were a few teachers I didn't care for. Sadly due to events that happened to my child. When she was in the infant room. My daughter would sometimes be dropped off in the classroom across from her actual class. Around Christmas time a few years ago my mother in law picked up my daughter and had sent me photos of her. Earlier that day, I received a call from the school saying that my 8/9 month old had a bloody nose when she was in this other classroom. From the photos my mother in law took my baby had a gash in her cheek from what it looks like a deep scratch! It was so deep in her skin, she currently is almost 3 years old and it's a scar on her face. I think maybe the teacher scratched her on accident with her long nails. Yet they wrote on the report it was a "bloody nose". Yet my baby had a deep scratch on her cheek. You work with children and babies for gods sake. Some of the girls and teachers here had talons for nails. I forgot the teachers name in charge of her at that time but the front office staff said she was basically here for over 20 years so she knows what she's doing. Which is ridiculous! There were other incidents too where my daughter got bit twice in two weeks in the first toddler classroom. Clearly someone may not have been paying attention to my daughter if she was getting bit. Once my daughter got to the 2 year old classroom her teacher had very old school traditions with the kids and taught them to be independent. My husband and I enjoyed her being in there. She was starting to thrive again and enjoy being dropped off at school. Overall once I noticed the front admin changes. Things started to go downhill which was when my daughter was in the first toddler classroom with Ms. Amber. The front staff was less and less approachable and I felt speaking to them or addressing an issue to them I was walking on eggshells at times or they would be having personal conversations and I'd be interrupting. There were issues I've noticed that a few teachers would be on their phones. One time I dropped off my daughter in Ms. Trista's class and I look across at the babies on the other side and I seen through the window the same lady who was there over 20+ years, was on her phone while an infant baby was hysterically crying in the crib in the room across from Elm. Mind it was the same teacher that I believe scratched my child with her long nails. I had addressed this issue to the front staff and just by her lengthy time at Montessori nothing was done and they said teachers can be on their phones updating procare. Ok, I get that. But this baby was in need of her attention at the moment and as a mother that was sad to see. Tending to that child was more important than being on her phone. Another instance I've noticed was Ms. Amber was always on her phone as well for drop off but over time she actually got better not always being on it. I get they need to send updates on Procare but they mostly do that if the kids are on their nap time. Overall, the staff has a very high turnover with the admin, front staff and teachers. I am not sure why the dynamic in the front admin changed but it feels very different now. Also, just because someone has been a teacher for over 20+ years doesn't always mean they enjoy their job. This day and age, the longer the people are working in a job they get invincible and think discipline wouldn't / shouldn't be given to them. Positive changes need to happen here at Springstone with the staff! Attached are photos of before and after of my daughter with the scratch.
