Every child deserves equal access to education and support, not exclusion because they need services. Families should feel welcomed and supported, and unfortunately that was not our experience.

This school by far teaches him responsibility, he is disciplined in doing his work, and he doesn't have to worry about the nonsense of bullying just because he is smart. This school is like a family. Mr. Jones the principal loves these kids like they are his. The teachers are very nice and encouraging, there are many events that the kids are allowed to participate in and they are greatly praised for good behavior and good grades. I wish this school went up to the 12th grade. We love it here. #KippVisionAcademy

I just saw a white passenger van parked crosswise, blocking both sides of the street, and picking up children while doing it. I watched vehicles parking, driving on - and over - sidewalks with kids walking on them. They block the road for a solid hour to the point that no emergency vehicles could possibly get through. They don't direct traffic, though they do have people standing in the middle of the road. This has to stop, it's dangerous. Don't send your kids here if you care about them.

My son's teacher mentioned Dr. Jackson and her tutoring center, The Literacy Doctor, during a…read moreconversation and she spoke so highly of both Dr. Jackson and the center that I could not help but do a bit more research. After reviewing the website, reading a few reviews, and even looking at other tutoring options, I decided to reach out. I submitted the contact from on the website and received an email a few hours later which was great (talk about a prompt response). I scheduled a consult for the next day and received a call from Dr. Jackson who was the sweetest and gave me tons of info about the center along what my son would learn. Needless to say we started a few days after the initial consult and he did a 1 hour assessment with Dr. Jackson during his first session to establish areas of strengths and things that needed to be worked on. Afterwards she provided me with helpful information on where he stood and we discussed goals for him. Fast forward seven months and we couldn't be more happy with his progression in reading, writing, phonics, and reading comprehension. The staff at the center are simply wonderful. Every teacher is so kind and truly meets my kiddo where he is and makes learning fun. They offer tutoring in several areas, provide monthly progress reports, and I love how they celebrate students. If you're looking for a little extra help for your kiddo in a small learning environment where they can learn, grow more confident in their learning and have fun all at the same time, the Literacy Doctor is the place to go!

It seemed to be where she was becoming intimidated by reading and in our family, we love to read! It was heartbreaking and with the emotional component, harder for me (her mother) to TEACH her myself.

She is engaged and wants to improve on her own! Some nights I have to make her put her iPad down! We always loved story time but not she wants to read them!! I wish she was a teacher my children had in their school!! You can't go wrong with this program for your children! I wish I had it before there was an issue! Start early! Your kids will love it!!

The school is setup to challenge the scholars to operate with a spirit of Black Excellence. Imhotep has been around for 30 years and is truly a hidden gem in the Atlanta area. This afro centered institution has instilled a sense of pride within my kids and have reminded them through daily affirmations and instruction of their greatness. Black History Month is all year long! Kids learn from Prek to sing the Black National Anthem, recite the Ultimate Student and about the 7 Kwanzaa Principles, and their significance. The teachers, staff and admin work tirelessly to ensure the scholars are stretched to their optimal potential. The PTA is very active and partners with the school to support the greater objective of our institution. I believe the combination of these items working in sync is what makes this village successful.

It also fosters independence and my kids are capable of so many things that I never thought they would be at their ages. The teachers are kind and patient, but firm, and they really get to know you children and appreciate who they are as individuals. The fresh, healthy snacks from a local co-op are just a bonus. My only problem with the school is that it doesn't go past age 6. We'll be so sad to leave!

I have a 2 year old and 5 year old at SMS. My 5 year old has been attending since he was 3 and the…read moreschool opened. We were planning on homeschooling but I still wanted our kids to start with some school environment experience. Smyrna Montessori School was everything we were looking for. My children get lots of individual attention, are encouraged to explore and learn as much as they want and have had some wonderful friendships develop. There is a strong sense of respect modeled through kindness towards the teachers, classmates, learning materials and the world (cultures, the environment). The teachers love my children like they were their own and are passionate about the Montessori style of learning. Both of my children have gained a lot of confidence and independence since they began there. If I ever have a question I can set up a time to talk with any teacher. I'm always impressed with how aware they are of everything my child deals with on a daily basis, what their strengths are, how much progress they have made in areas of behavior, character and learning. I do wish they extended beyond the Primary program (3-6 years). I don't think there is any problem with illness any different than any other school environment. I don't love that the lead toddler teacher spot has changed hands a few times, but I understand that when a teacher has a baby she will want to take time to be with her new baby. This has been the only reason for teachers leaving that I am aware of. Those teachers have stayed in contact with the school and return for visits when possible. We feel very fortunate to be at Smyrna Montessori School and are so happy it opened at the perfect time for our kids. And as far as safety goes, our children are referred to as precious gifts, children are not allowed out of the classroom unless a teacher or parent is with them and the school and yard are secured during the day. I have no concern for my children's safety at all. Montessori is a different approach to learning than what a lot of people are used to, but for us it has been perfect. Oh, and I LOVE that I get an email and photos every week from each of my kids teachers touching on what the kids are working on and enjoying and some explanation about the Montessori process.

I went to a Montessori perschool and wanted our daughter to have that experience.Having multiple age ranges in a class benefits all the students for different reasons. I think Montessori method with student driven learning is wonderful for curious children. The student to teacher ration is 10 or 11 to 1 with 3 teachers per class. I love that this school is willing to push the kids to the extent each child is willing academically. Our daughter had been home schooled/cared for by close friends for years and was well beyond the PreK curriculum before even starting. The next year, when our daughter was assessed for kindergarten in a Cobb County public school, she scored high and was placed in a more rigorous class which pleased us. The teachers and staff also assist with social learning. Our daughter was a bit behind the others socially; most of whom had been in daycare or this school versus home care/school and were well socialized. Teachers and staff worked with my daughter and my husband and I and kept us updated. Also, my daughter is being raised as a Jehovah's Witness which posses unique challenges around birthdays and holidays. The staff was understanding, accommodating, and had a willingness to learn, understand and work with our daughter and us that astonished us. I have never worked with a more flexible and helpful staff. The Director and Assistant Director were almost always there, unless I'll. We had several tours including just stopping in. Montessori schools do not put their monies into beautification; they put it into hiring and educating exceptional teachers and staff. Please remember that when you tour. They treat the children and parents with love and respect. We were completely impressed with them.
