Love the Montessori teaching philosophy…read more Not digging the fact they post children with allergies on the wall, like mug shots of a poor band of misfits. Dislike. Especially since my daughter's photo would be up there. It angers me, kids already pick on others for dumber reasons than food allergies, why give them more ammo? They should be somewhere the teachers / subs see them, but not on display like a circus freak show. The facility is awesome and brand new. The tuition is mid to upper cost for the area. Definitely not in love with the fact that they use the state max numbers for their younger classes. For those two reasons I'm giving this facility 3 stars. Nut free, which is great! Very nice outdoor play area.

Please watch your child closely after enrollment; some kids do well and some do not. If your…read morechild starts acting out, DO NOT allow the school to put them in the classroom for difficult children just to keep you paying the tuition. This will make things ten times worse, not because of the teachers, but children with special needs are there, and if your child is not one of them, then do NOT mix them together for hours. Plus there are WAY too many children in that classroom and the teacher is well meaning but completely fried by Wednesday and screaming at everyone. It took six months to undue the damage caused by that classroom and we are still working on it.

This school is... something else.

And when your iPad gets locked for 15 minutes by someone who wasn't even invited to touch it, no one knows anything. So, with nothing to do, you go to the cheerleading mat just to kill time -- and boom -- you get hit with a two-minute lecture comparing gym mats to driving laws, like you were about to cause a highway crash. You'd think walking on a mat meant you're committing a felony. You try to be chill, respectful, even helpful, but that doesn't stop certain people from mocking you for saying something as basic as "Ohhh." Being polite is seen as weakness, being quiet gets twisted, and when you defend someone, suddenly you're being misunderstood like you're the villain. All that while some students walk around with zero manners, asking for food like you're a vending machine with free samples. The cherry on top? There's always that one adult who thinks they're qualified to judge your whole personality after a single interaction -- diagnosing you like it's a clinic. Honestly, it feels like the more respectful you are, the more nonsense comes your way. It's not all bad -- there are a few cool people around -- but overall, it's the kind of environment that tests your patience more than your math quizzes do. Wouldn't recommend unless you're training for a drama degree or just really enjoy chaos sprinkled with confusion and locked iPads.
