As a first-time mom, I was very nervous about enrolling my son in daycare. He started here when he…read morewas just 6 months old, and he is now almost 11 months. My husband and I are so glad we chose Stoney Point Montessori. Infant classroom teachers, Ms. Swarna and Ms. Lupita, are truly wonderful. Ms. Swarna is incredibly loving and has been so helpful when it comes to feeding tips and guidance as my son grows. Ms. Lupita feels like family to us. My son clearly has so much love for both of them, and it means the world to see how cared for he is every day. The staff at the school are always polite and welcoming, which creates such a warm environment for both parents and children. I also love when my son comes home with the creative arts and crafts they do in class--those little projects are so special when there's two working parent's. Most importantly, my son is thriving here, and that gives me so much peace of mind. Thank you so much to Ms. Swarna and Ms. Lupita for the love and care you show my son every day and for making this journey as a new mom so much easier.

The reason we decided to enroll my son here is because of Mrs. Swarna from the infant class. We…read moreknow her from our previous daycare. Needless to say things didn't work out there, aside from the fact that Mrs. Swarna had left. We made the wise decision to follow her. She took care of my son as an infant and continues to watch over him here at SPM. She is simply wonderful and we are very lucky to have her in our lives. My son is now graduating but he has had the most amazing experience this past year and a half. Ms. Nilu and Mrs.Gayanthi- thank you so much for everything! Our son has learned and grown so much because of you! He is always so excited to go to school. What more can a parent want. I guarantee that if you decide to enroll your kids here, you won't regret it.

Ms Peggy's Response to my review proves that what I wrote is accurate. Instead of showing any kind…read moreof humility, she has doubled down on gaslighting me. I never stated anything about whether your facility was is compliance with state licensing regulations, which are the bare minimum requirments for all licensed child care facilities and nothing to be bragging about. You say things like that your policies are "clearly communicated," with no such explanation of what you mean, when I provided factual details and pages of "critical context." You have now accussed me of "repeated concerns regarding hostile communication and ongoing disruptive interactions with staff." For the prospective families reading this, I implore you, Ms. Peggy, to define what your definitions of "hostile communication" and "ongoing disruptive interactions" and "combative" are. I also give you permission to state what dates and claims about me you are even referring to, but make sure to to include "critical context" without being "inaccurate" or "misleading" when doing so. Parents need to be aware that you were never around during the incidents I described, so you have no basis for knowing whether anything I described was inaccurate. I asked a lot of questions that your staff didn't like and 1st I was called "rude" for it and now that I documented my experiences, you are trying to label me "hostile." Shame on you. This is basic mean girl bullying and the wrong way to respond to a review because it is not 5 stars.

This school is amazing and is everything I wished for in a school for my child! The teachers are so…read morekind, smart and caring and the academic program is beyond what many other preschools offer. My son who is 4 years old started here at the beginning of the school's summer session in late June 2020. I had wanted him to transition to this school from his previous preschool because Devonshire Preschool had such a strong academic program. When I had visited the year before and saw the work the 4 and 5 year olds were producing it was amazing. They were writing 5 letter words, such as "piece" perfectly and doing math and science. My son wanted to learn more and at his previous school there was just a little too much free play, where it felt like the kids were just being babysat and not stimulated with learning and fun activities. When he started I immediately saw a difference. Even during the summer session there was a fun subject theme each week. During Paleontology week they excavated dinosaurs and dinosaur bones out of sand and ice cubes and learned about fossils. During Pioneer week they churned fresh butter and sifted through dirt to find gold nuggets. During Impressionist Art Week they learned about Piet Mondrian, Robert Kree and Jackson Pollack and made amazing paintings that look just like the artists' paintings. When he came home and showed me the paintings he was so excited and he even taught me about the artists. I only knew about Jackson Pollack. During Health week they learned about the different organs in the body with a fun "Pin the organ" on the kids activity. Hel was loving his teachers, the kids and all the new activities. The academic school year started in late August and by the end of September he could write the alphabet by memory. He soon started to learn to write words and by early December he was reading words. He is now reading full stories, writing four letter words, can count to 100 and write all the numbers up to 100 and is doing math (basic addition and subtraction) which is his favorite subject. During the academic year there are still a lot of fun creative activities the kids do. Last week they built tee pees with sticks outside and did an experiment with eggs and the colors they turn when you put them in different drinks, so you can see how different drinks may effect the color of your teeth. The school is health conscious and doesn't allow the kids to bring snacks with more than 8 grams of sugar to school. And yes with all this the kids still get to play a ton! My son has made some wonderful friends in the 7 months he's been there and we have made friends with a lot of the parents too. We even have been setting up regular playdates at playgrounds with some of them during this COVID pandemic so the kids really get to have fun with each other and be kids during this tough time. The school has been really safe during COVID. There have been no outbreaks. The kids are really good about wearing their masks and honestly my son who usually got a runny nose at least once a month and a fever once every three months when going to day care has not had any since he started at Devonshire Preschool. He is healthier than ever. The ownership just recently changed, but the new owners are keeping everything the same and really seem like a lovely couple that really care about the school, the teachers, the parents and the kids. This school has really been a blessing. We are so thankful our son is lucky enough to go here and just hope that his future schools will live up to it

I was distraught leaving them and trying something new in Chatsworth... Miss Victoria welcomed our family with such kindness and candor. She was very clear and open about her philosophies which I appreciated. She is a big believer of meeting children where they are and supporting their own growth path. She encouraged us not to get hung up on milestones or outside in "rules" on development. In her care, our 4yr old and 3yr old FLOURISHED. Our 4yr old had been struggling a bit socially and learning her letters. Within 2 months at Mother Goose, her confidence had sky-rocketed. She was writing her name beautifully and also reading letters on signs unprompted. Best of all, she was excited to see friends from school at the park, running up and collaboratively engaging in new games. Our 3yr old is more of a born student. For her, we worry about not enough challenge. But a couple months in to Mother Goose and it was clear that they were keeping up with her needs. She learned all about continents and famous artists from each continent. She knew the information so well that she was applying it to new situations. For instance, her sister would talk about her ear hurting and out of nowhere my daughter would say, "You know, Van Gogh had a hurt ear." It really was remarkable to see how they grew academically, socially, and emotionally. I had so much ease leaving them at Mother Goose each day knowing they would be genuinely cared for. It may not be the fanciest looking school, but Miss Victoria and her team have hearts of gold. Of the four private preschools our family has had the privilege to be a part of, I would choose Mother Goose. Sadly, we now had to leave the state, so I won't be there to welcome new families who choose this special place.

We are forever grateful to Ms. Struve, faculty, security, and assistive personnel for creating a nurturing and secure environment where my sons have thrived academically and socially. Throughout the years we have formed lasting friendships that go beyond the school setting. We confidently recommend Egremont School to anyone seeking excellent elementary education for their children. Egremont's specialty classes are wonderful, my sons especially like technology, art, music, and musical theater. Egremont welcomes you as parents and families to be extremely involved in your children's elementary school years. As a family we can't wait to join the festivities: Camping Under the Stars, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Holiday Celebrations. We look forward to school productions such as the Winter Musical, Spring Productions and the Talent Show to name a few. The memories we have created as a family in Egremont will forever live in our hearts. We are familiar with surrounding schools and can guarantee you there is no school that can compare. At Egremont I have peace in mind that my sons are safe and well looked after. Egremont staff welcomes children by their name and ensure school grounds are beautifully maintained, the classrooms are bright, well - organized, and decorated with students' classwork, showcasing the children's learning journey. I asked my older son to share a few words, this is what he had to say: Thank you Ms. Struve and Egremont for everything you have taught me and done for me. I appreciate your kindness and for creating a welcoming feeling every day I walked into school. I felt appreciated and wanted. Almost everything I need to know about middle school was taught there. I hope that its amazing staff will be loved forever and that everything there stays as magical as it was when I went there. I don't think any school can match what Egremont has done for me. Egremont is a place where I can be happy.

From the first phone converstation, I was put at ease by the kind and polite teacher who answered. Then I did a tour with Mrs. Maria and Shazna where I explained my experience and they were so understanding and relieved all my worries by actually explaining their policies and how consistently every employee follows said policies, which was one of my biggest concerns. These women were professional and straight forward which I greatly appreciated. I like that enrollment includes weekly music lessons, annual performances, all kids bring their own labeled water cups, breakfast, lunch and snacks are included, and kids can bring lunch boxes from home if they want. They also have an app that, among other things, they use to disperse their weekly menus, send photos and videos weekly, communicate with parents, pay tuition, and disclose potty accidents as they occur. The application was 6 downloadable pdf forms and a 10 page parent handbook that plainly states their policies and only required signatures on the last 2 pages. They also offer optional dance, soccer, and young ninja programs that are sold seperatly and occur on the premises during regular hours, so no additional transportation is requirted and the kids are never distracted by their parents presence. It's been 4 months and I haven't had a single problem since. My son has made friends and become noticeably confident. He loves the optional Hip Hop dance classes and the Young Ninjas classes! He doesn't cry at drop off. He confidently walks striaght to Mrs. Maria classroom, usually without even syaing goodbye to me. This preschool is also the best priced establishiment I found in the Valley... even less expensive than the home childcare we was in for over 2 years and way less than the previously mentioned BAD preschool we had tried. Mrs, Maria has been a pleasure to work with and I couldn't say enough great things about this place. Please, do not hesitate to take a tour and see for yourself! ... Oh and we LOVE the seasonal window paint they have at the entrance. My son always gets excited when it changes.

From daily art and science projects, sensory bins, singing and dancing, amazing activities like visits from baby farm animals, puppies, water play, and fun holiday parties. My first child was a pandemic baby, she was severely shy and afraid to be away from us, within a couple of months at the nest, her true personality blossomed, she is now in TK and was chosen to be the speaker at her holiday performance, and can already read. I completely attribute these achievements to her time at the nest, where her true potential was developed. My second baby runs in every morning with joy, he has been there since he was 3 months old and has loved every minute of it. He loves his friends there and he loves his teachers, he's always so excited to tell me about what project he is working on. And we wouldn't have chosen to have a 3rd baby if we didn't have this amazing resource, the Nest is truly "our village", and we can't wait for our newborn to start going this summer! I wish Robin would start an elementary school so we could just stay with them for another decade. Love you ladies!
