The safety, love, and education the girls felt every day is something most working parents can only dream of replicating outside their home at this level, and something that every child should have the privilege of experiencing. We will take this piece of life with us on our journey and apply the endless life skills they have given them for years to come. I truly hope they all realize what an incredibly special environment they have created and nurtured here. It has been an absolute honor and privilege to be a part of it.

Extremely disappointed in this short lived experience. To start, before choosing this school I had…read moreinitially done my own extensive research in Montessori education curriculum as well as individual schools in my area. The idea was to find a safe environment where lots of play happens but education is also a priority. With that being said I should also state my daughter who turned three the first day of school had never been in a daycare or school system. She has always been kept home and has limited experience with any out of home programs, so obviously I kept that in mind when choosing Montessori and made sure they were informed of this after choosing. At the start everything was fine, the "play date" they set up before your child's first day of school was a glorified check drop off at best. They ask some questions and let them play with a group of kids on the playground. The school is extremely small with only two class rooms that split ages from under three and over three. The over three class room ages probably ranging from 3-5 from what I could tell, each class having 4 teachers each. All in all my daughter seemed excited, we were excited everything seems great, moving on. The first week comes and goes with only a few hiccups to our knowledge other than some potty accidents. My daughter had just turned three and had been potty trained almost two months before we started something every teacher was made aware of. Here comes week two, we are are happy going to school, happy during pick up. There's absolutely no inclination to us that she is unhappy. At most the "observational feedback" the teachers would give us was positive with the occasional "we need to work on this but otherwise today was good". Great we can do that! By Thursday of week three, one of the four teachers I rarely saw or spoke to is now telling me my daughter is saying she's unhappy, that she doesn't like to sit for lessons and that they think she is not a good fit and "needs more movement". They asked if she acts sad to come to school, I said quite the opposite and I had almost three weeks worth of before school photos and videos of her singing, smiling and ready to go. I asked when she acted that way and it typically always revolved around being told to do or not do something..... interesting right? That a three year old would be unhappy with authority. By the way all these things we WANT to work on with her. After this meeting I took the "need for more movement" seriously and signed her up for after school dance classes and TOT basketball to help but by Friday of week four I'm getting a call at work that my child is not a fit for their school and we needed to find alternative care. While they state in the phone conversations and emails that they're doing what is best for the child I really don't see how you even had time to understand what that means for her. My child was expected in 15 school days to adapt to a brand new environment, brand new people and schedule seamlessly to a standard we were never even made aware of and really going against everything Montessori philosophy is built on. I specifically chose Montessori for the hands on and active approach knowing my child would enjoy and need movement, either this school has its own idea of Montessori or they're not equipped for the classroom age ranges and individual needs. I especially don't see how any child who is hyperactive or on the spectrum would thrive. The one positive and reason for the two stars was Ms Quanesha! Thank you for always being sweet with my girl, she was always happy to see you and we will miss you!

I attended Allen Academy for many years and graduated from there, and I can strongly say, apart…read morefrom the few teachers who are very kind, Allen Academy is a horrible option for any kid over 5th grade. They don't give you the "college readiness" they boast about, and many end up not knowing anything in college. Many are found being overlooked and disrespected by the school at every turn, ruining their confidence. The teachers give out free A's, and you have to put in absolutely no effort for a good grade, and it ends up being extremely hard when college comes around, because you've learned no material and no work ethic. In addition, Allen makes some horrible staff choices, and even when called out by all students and many parents, they refuse to do anything about it and blame it on the students. They put on a perfect act, but once you go to the school, it shuts off, and they only care about money. Allen Academy ruined high school for me and I wouldn't recommend it for any middle/high school students.

We quickly fell in love with everyone there, as it was so easy to see the love and passion they have for children. It was a bittersweet ending when our last experiences were during Covid, as our son transitioned to Kindergarten. With all of the unknown and drive-by drop offs, the staff continued to make all things wonderful and happy for the kiddos. Even the drive-by graduation was so meaningful. Fast forward eight years and our newest addition has entered the world. When I heard that SWLC had added an infant room, I was immediately there to sign us up. And who all do I see when I go? The same Ms. Nazneen, Ms. Rania, Ms. Wendi and Ms. Salwa that I had after all those years! That alone speaks volumes about a daycare facility and not once have I questioned putting this son there. They are a true blessing, along with all other staff who have made us feel so welcome this time around! We are beyond blessed to be back for a second lap at Southwood Learning Center and look forward to continuing current relationships and developing new ones with all the staff and families.
