UPDATE 2 - While I respect that some families may have had positive experiences, it is important to…read morerecognize that not every parent or child undergoes the same kind of treatment, communication, or support from lead teachers. One parent's positive experience should not be used to dismiss or respond to concerns raised by other affected parents. There is no need to invalidate someone else's experience when the focus should simply be on sharing one's own. In our experience, concerns regarding ADHD and behavioral differences were discussed, but what was difficult was how those concerns were approached. Sensitive matters involving a child's struggles should remain professional and parent-centered, rather than becoming discussion points in ways that affect relationships with other families whose children were friends with mine. I have heard two of the parents approach me and letting me know that my child's conditions were discussed with them and told their kids not to be friends with him. Despite being uncomfortable and concerned, they informed me about this so I would be aware of it. What became especially concerning was when my child began coming home visibly distressed, crying, and repeatedly expressing that he felt pressured by the green class teacher into accepting the blame for an incident he consistently said he did not do. From our perspective as parents, it appeared that instead of carefully understanding the situation, there were moments where he felt pushed to agree with accusations or accept responsibility despite insisting otherwise. Watching a young child become emotionally distressed to the point of crying at home and describing feeling pressured in this way significantly escalated our concerns and aggravated an already difficult situation. More importantly, identifying concerns should also come with meaningful support and guidance. Instead of collaborative strategies, accommodations, or support to help my child succeed, it often felt like the child was only commented on having ADHD and also blamed for behaviors -- such as moving quickly through activities or transitioning to another task instead of staying engaged in one work for extended periods. Expecting a young child to remain focused on a single activity for more than 30 minutes without understanding developmental needs or learning differences did not feel supportive. When I approached the lead Green Class teacher to discuss how we speak to and guide our child when he was not listening, I was told that she had significant experience handling children and did not like parents giving suggestions. I found this response dismissive because, during a meeting when we genuinely asked for suggestions or strategies to better support our child, we were told there were none and were instead asked the same question in return. However, when I attempted to offer open suggestions based on what worked for our child, this was the response I received. This felt particularly concerning when it already seemed as though there were ongoing struggles in understanding, handling, and supporting our child's individual needs rather than working collaboratively to help him succeed. Comparing a 6-year-old child to a younger child, such as a 4-year-old, was also unhelpful and discouraging. Every child develops differently, and comparisons do not provide constructive support or understanding for a child's unique strengths and challenges.

A year before joining RMA I started asking moms in the community where their children go to…read morepreschool and if they like it, and time and time again RMA came up as being the go to preschool in the area. They have a waitlist for a reason. The grounds are beautiful with open space for kids to play and there are two locked entry points w security codes to get in; the grounds are fenced to keep kids safe. The classrooms are clean and Montessori educational items are placed at eye level accessible for children to interact with. Montessori language, such as calling the activities "jobs," is used, along with the traditional "walk around the sun" ceremony that takes place on a child's birthday. The school uses an app to communicate with parents showing pictures of their child during the day so you know what they're working on. I made it a point to check in w teachers at drop off/pick up time so there was always clear communication and collaboration with the school. The staff were all professional and kind in our experience. Our child has grown so much in the years we have been at RMA. At a recent elementary school assessment we were told she scored a grade level above academically on the kindergarten readiness test. Our child loves science after having weekly hands on science experiments in the classroom; she mastered letter and number recognition; she can write her name and has developed critical thinking skills thanks to her teachers and a school environment that encourages curiosity. The performances the school puts on throughout the year are really precious. The kids work hard at learning the songs and a lot of care goes into the events. I don't know the circumstances behind the negative reviews here, but I fully respect that Ms. Janet does not air any dirty laundry on a public forum like this. All I know is that RMA has a responsibility to provide a safe and healthy environment for the children enrolled, and from our own individual experience, they have done so. Our experience with RMA has been nothing but heartwarming and positive and we will miss it.

Please read if you're a parent considering this school!!…read more Today my newly diagnosed Level 1 autistic son was kicked out of The Goddard School in Roseville, and I'm honestly still trying to process it. I am heartbroken, angry, and deeply disappointed. My son is extremely high functioning. We have worked incredibly hard to support him -- I drive two hours twice a week to get him to occupational therapy, he will be receiving ABA support, and we've put countless hours into helping him thrive. Because of that work, he doesn't even qualify for speech therapy. He is a bright, loving, energetic three-year-old who deserves patience and understanding like any other child. Instead, we were essentially told he could not stay unless we provided a full-time one-on-one aide ourselves -- something that would mean paying tuition while also paying privately for someone to supervise him all day. As a parent, there is nothing more painful than watching your child start forming friendships and getting comfortable somewhere, only to be pushed out because he needs a little extra support. If a school is not equipped or willing to support neurodivergent children, families deserve honesty about that from the beginning. It would save parents and children a tremendous amount of heartbreak. Right now my momma heart is just broken. My son deserves a community that sees his potential and supports him -- not one that shuts the door on him. If you're a parent of a neurodivergent or high energy child, walk the other way. Thank you for reading.

I've purposely held off on writing this review because I feel it is important to get as close to…read morethe full picture, before spreading the word (whether good or bad). Especially when it comes to a service or program that involves children. When I was searching around months ago for an educational toddler daycare I researched about a dozen places and actually reached out to maybe half of them. Something that I was thoroughly surprised about was the poor customer service I received. Whether it was severely delayed responses, terse and rude responses or no response at all ...I experienced it. Wendy Spencer the Director/Owner of Woodcreek Montessori responded quickly and was very cordial. In addition to the customer service being on point, I quickly found out that the price was right. In regards to the other sketchy places: I get that anything involving kids can be pricey but when you couple that with poor customer service I would have been an idiot to send any sort of money their way, let alone my offspring! For example the Montessori school that is no more than a mile away from home, never responded to an inquiry I sent via their website, then when I called it sounded chaotic and it didn't help the lady who barely spoke a word of English (not to mention they were twice as expensive as Woodcreek Montessori). Please, no and thank you. Getting beyond the research phase, Wendy was phenomenal throughout the entire enrollment process as well. Informative and patient is exactly what the doctor ordered for someone going through it all for the first time. It is nice to encounter folks who are cognizant of the typical concerns and fears us newbies face and she showed nothing but understanding and patience for my seemingly endless questions. And it wasn't even like they were hurting for business, my kid was on a waiting list for the days we wanted! You know what I am getting at? Some business will be over the top friendly because they need the numbers to add up at the end of the month, not the case here. We pick up a happy, fed, educated and WORN OUT kid. Talk about a priceless scenario.

She employs fantastic assistants and the actual place is so cool- the classroom is cheerful and fun, but not distracting, and the yard is AWESOME! A giant tree swing, a garden the kids can water and harvest from, and a chicken coop where kids under supervision can sometimes go look for eggs are just the highlights of the huge, fun yard. Kids actually WANT to come and stay here, and they don't even realize how much they're growing- academically, socially, in problem solving, etc. Every time I get a new client, I secretly hope they'll be going to school at miss Patty's, and if I had a kid of my own, I would absolutely send them there.
