When we disagreed not much was offered in terms or correction. When Laura (manager) left them, they went down in terms of service.

It's almost a year out since my child was enrolled in this school but after having time to reflect…read moreI want to make sure parents are aware of our experience. My child was around 2.5 when starting his first "school" experience here. He was part time (3 hours in the morning) and attended maybe a total of 5 or 6 school days before they told me they needed to unenroll him. The reasoning was regarding his emotional regulation. I could definitely see that he was having a hard time with emotional regulation - even at home. They also advised me to get him evaluated. I have no issues with getting my son help that he needs, but it did shock me to have such a strong response after barely knowing him and without giving him a chance to acclimate to a new environment. I asked for specific things that happened to understand what he was doing exactly that would result in him being unenrolled and the examples they gave were like "running around" and "struggling with the routine". I thought they were going to tell me he physically hurt someone or himself or that he was destructive to the classroom. I took time to reflect on their comments and spoke to his doctor. He did not have concerns and said that at 2.5 we cannot expect toddlers to have a grasp on their emotional regulation yet. Since this experience, he has now been in different schools where he is thriving. It's not due to smaller class ratios - the school he is in now has the same ratio and he is so happy to go to every day. I'm not sure what was going on at North Shore that made him so distressed. I believe if they gave him the opportunity to adjust he could have done well there too. Unfortunately, I think they only accept specific types of children that can follow very rigid routines. I chose a Montessori school because I thought the philosophy was to follow a child's lead as opposed to rigidity. I definitely acknowledge that my child was having a harder time managing his emotions (especially at that age), but parents of toddlers who are still learning how to regulate emotions and need more fluidity to just be a kid should be aware of this before enrolling. I also want to note that I find it extremely odd that you can't find reviews on this school. Google reviews are turned off, and there are only 2 posts on Facebook.

I'm not known for long reviews here but I could write well not a book, but quite a brochure. EVERYONE at this school is amazing.

Do yourselves and your children the favor of visiting.

I was told they were excepting applications for that age group during the phone conversation as well as the tour. Upon arrival, I noticed my children were the only children of their demographics in that facility. Once I asked for an application and to speak with someone regarding hrs, they no longer were accepting my children's age group which I believe was because of my children's demographics meaning there ethnicity. If your child/children are not of the same demographics as the staff and children that are at this location, for the safety and security of the kids, find a location where your kids are received with well with open arms and care.

Grandma's House was recommended to me by a friend, and I knew right away when we toured that it would be a great place. My son had a much easier transition then I thought he would have because the staff is so caring and attentive. I always received a detailed report of what he did all day. After just a couple months, he was having such a good time there that he cried when he had to leave as opposed to when I dropped him off. I could see that he grew tremendously while he was there. I loved that Grandma's House functions like a school, even for toddlers. I liked the classroom parties, the lesson plans, and parent-teacher conferences. I always felt like I was actually involved even though I wasn't there with him all day. Unfortunately, my job is no longer convenient to Grandma's House. However, if it ever is again I would send him back there in a heartbeat!

In the end, we picked All 'Bout Children for their Outdoor Classroom Certification, bilingual curriculum, and partnership with Burleigh Elementary to provide before and after school care (he doesn't need it yet, but glad to know its an option). In the end, we have not been disappointed! The teaching staff is genuinely caring and engaged with the little guy's development. Not only do they take the time to answer all our questions (patiently), but we get daily updates in real-time on potties, feedings, and various other milestones - but the best part is they provide pictures almost daily which is a great treat when I'm at work thinking about him :) Their spots fill up quickly, but if you are looking for a new daycare, I recommend taking a tour.
