I have the unique perspective of being a parent of two children in different learning classroom…read moreenvironments. My children also have experienced transitioning from one environment to the next due to age and readiness of skills. Here's a few examples of what I love about my children attending Park Cities Montessori in their crucial early years of life. The skill set of building concentration on one activity and putting it away before moving on to the next is huge. It teaches a sense of order, helps build patience and perseverance within a task, as well as learning how to take turns and wait until the work becomes available. No matter what activity the children engage in, there is a focus on the process and the beauty of slowing down. There is also ample opportunities for the children to experience nature. There is the crucial benefit to circle time and singing with one another and building camaraderie with one another as a class family. Zero screen time is a huge piece of what makes PCM great because it encourages children to use their imagination and engage in exploration when boredom arises. The practical life skills that my children have developed is incredible. When out in public, the amount of strangers that compliment the table manners our children have at such a young age is a testament to the time they spend at PCM. We put the work in at home, but it is with the guidance and advice from PCM that has led us down such a successful path. Plus it's super cute to see our 20 month old walking everywhere he goes with his hands behind his back. Finally, one irreplaceable quality that PCM staff demonstrates is the love they have for each of their children. My son was enrolled in Nido from 9 months old- 18months old. His bond was so strong with his Nido teachers that after he transitioned to the toddler environment, he would constantly want to show them the new things he was learning and show off his new glasses. The staff always made time for him and made him feel seen, even at a young age. My daughter started in the toddler environment when she was 2.5 years old and transitioned to the Children's House environment a month before she turned 3. Changing environments was worrisome because she was going to be part of a larger class with new teachers and it's always hard to start anew. However, she was always filled with joy and looked forward to going to school. She would get sad when the week was coming to an end and I know that's because of the love she had from her teachers and the love of learning they instilled in her. I cannot thank these ladies enough for everything they have done for my children. I also have a unique perspective being a toddler teacher at PCM and have grown very attached to my class of children. We learn all kinds of skill sets together from putting on our shoes independently, to what it means to listen and create friendships with each other, to learning endless vocabulary, as well as learning how to navigate through big feelings with one another. The children have become a part of me and will forever hold a special place in my heart. Tears fill my eyes as I write this review because I'm so grateful for Park Cities Montessori. Do yourself a favor and get on the waiting list- fast. You do not want to miss the opportunity for your children and family to join an incredible community.

Both of my girls have attended PCM for the last two years. We made a leap of faith switching them…read moreinto a brand new school right after the pandemic. After meeting the director Carolyn and her teachers, we knew immediately we made the right choice. PCM has become a second home to our children and the teachers have become surrogate parents to our girls while we are working. They have both grown leaps and bounds over the two years they have been there. Reading, writing, vocabulary, independence, confidence, practical life skills - academically and emotionally I couldn't be more thrilled with their progress and I credit PCM with fostering all of these qualities in a loving and positive environment. Reinforcing kindness, independence, and friendship with classmates, I couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for them and will be very sad when we have to move on to kindergarten! Highly recommend this wonderful true Montessori school!

My son started Spanish House when he was about 3 months old. He is always excited to go to school…read moreand loves his teachers like they are family and that love is definitely not one-sided. Everyone that works in that school knows my child by name. This is not a daycare. It is a school from 3 months old and on. All the teachers are native Spanish speakers and only communicate in Spanish with the students. In addition to being Spanish immersion, they follow the Project-Based Learning Curriculum even in the nursery school. Your child will not be sitting around all day, their days are full of activities. Each month is a different theme/project and the teachers tailor-fit their lesson plans to match. For example, this month's theme at the nursery and preschool schools is "Deja un Mensaje/Leave a Message." Students are learning all about communication - the traditional and modern ways to stay in touch, the importance of the messages that we send and how communication can connect us to other cultures. The entire school is decorated with mailboxes and letters. I highly recommend checking them out!

just now New I would…read morelike to start off by saying.... I am a first time grandmother and it is truly a blessing. We did not think that we would have needed childcare... but I must say the search has been so stressful annd overwhelming ...until Celebree and Mrs Mindi. I have researched, called and read reviews of all the prestigious child care facilities locally. It's crazy because I just started a new job ... working Monday thru Friday getting off at 5:30pm.. so that makes interviewing any childcare facility during the week IMPOSSIBLE. And wait... mostly all the facilities are closed on the weekends. My daughter is going to school during the week and doing her exterm... so .. she could not visit as well. I spoke to many facilities that just could not accommodate a visit after hours... nor a scheduled visit or interview on a Saturday morning. I found a few that would allow me to send someone else to view on my behalf during the week... or just simply direct led me to their website. Well, I was blessed with a call back from Mindi at Celebree letting me know that she was willing to open up the Daycare just for myself, my daughter and my grandbaby to visit Saturday at 9am. The facility is closed on that day... however the accommodation was stellar. Not only did she give us a personal tour... but she allowed my baby to get down and experience the facility briefly. We were not rushed at all... she went over everything. Mindi didn't know how much this meant to me. She sacrificed a portion of her time.... Just for us. No directing me to a website to pictures. She interacted with my granddaughter.... and she was just happy and full of smiles. This made me feel confident about making a decision of choosing Celebree. The fact that she made us a priority... when so many other childcare facilities were willing to just let us walk away. My granddaughter was just another child to them... but Mindi made us feel like family! And that's important... as parents we must feel secure in knowing that we are leaving our babies in safe hands... and with people that truly care. We start next week, and I couldn't have made a better choice. I stopped by today... just to confirm and do paperwork and I was greeted by Evette and Celeste. Both friendly and welcoming. This was a great experience... as it should be anytime one is making a decision about care for a child. I am so thankful for Mindi calling me back... because if not... I would have been stuck with basic choices... instead of getting the best in service! I appreciate all of their time, patience, and concern! Thank you!

They leaned all their weight against the babies when washing their faces in the sink (which can injure their organs), lifted them by one arm (which can dislocate their shoulder), grabbed them aggressively, shoved food in their mouths aggressively, made them stay in their cribs for several hours, yelled at them for wanting to get up or for crying, swaddled them when that's against the law in daycare, and spent a lot of time texting & talking on their phones instead of watching the babies. The Lead Teacher in the Toddler Room was very impatient & squeezed their shoulders when they didn't obey, instead of using redirection. I explained these things to the director, but she said, "It's going to be a lot of work to replace those teachers." I later asked her what she was going to do about the incidents & she said her lawyer told her not to talk to me about it, so I reported the incidents to Child Care Licensing. They visited the school, but weren't able to do anything because I didn't have pictures or videos. I asked the director to install cameras, but she said no. Something must be done to bring awareness to the parents. Those lead teachers are still there & the director doesn't want to make the effort to replace them.

I cannot attest to all the employees a here, but I have had nothing but positive experience and interaction with most. Academically, this school is well praised and athletically too! This school has been open for 100 years and celebrated its centennial year this year! The diversity of the congregation and Priests is appealing as well.

I know taking care of children is one of the toughest jobs out there and no one center is perfect…read morebut after leaving bright horizons POTA, our daughter (and us, her parents) is so much happier. This was our first experience with daycare and Bright Horizons was supposed to be one of the better ones so I just assumed that the problems and inconveniences we had were all a part of process. Now that our daughter goes to another school, I realized that Bright Horizons POTA has a few flaws. I especially dreaded pick up and drop off due to no fault of their own. Bright Horizons POTA is just in an inconvenient location. Pick ups and drop offs could take upwards of 30 minutes each! The parking is on the fifth floor and the daycare is in the basement. The parking garage is supposed to read your toll tag when exiting but this was inoperable so we had to wait to get our parking validated each time. It just took too much time waiting for parking validation, waiting for elevators, etc. As a working parent, I wanted to spend that precious time with my child. At pick ups in the evenings, the front desk attendant was never at the desk because she also served as a float for whatever classroom was needing a teacher as they left for the day. This was especially problematic getting parking validated or if I needed to call. I tried calling once later in the day during business hours and no one ever answered. When I got there and told them, the front desk attendant just told me that THEY would call ME if there was a problem. In the beginning, I was also given a business card with the wrong number on it. The director ended up giving me her cell phone number which I really appreciated but she was not there all day. The daytime teachers were great but the children had different teachers in the afternoons and it seemed like there was little continuity with this. Every time I picked up my daughter, someone new was watching her. I felt like my daughter was constantly with strangers half of the day. One of them even asked if I was the nanny when I was picking up my daughter one afternoon. I liked that they used an app to provide updates but after the first month, they no longer took photos of our daughter and we had to continually ask to see pictures. One afternoon, my daughter had a black eye when I picked her up! A BLACK EYE!!!!!!! I never had any concerns for my daughters safety while at bright horizons and I'm sure it was an accident but what bothered me is that no one seemed to notice. The biggest take away I had from our experience at Bright Horizons is that I will never put any of my children into a center in which they are expected to sleep in the same classroom that other children are playing/screaming/crying. I feel horrible for making my daughter suffer through that. The school we use now has a separate, quiet area for sleeping children. I feel like I'm a pretty low-maintenance parent and the whole time we sent our daughter to Bright Horizons, I only had one request which was to allow her to attempt to feed herself and this was met with resistance. They even sent a photo of her being spoon-fed by her teacher while the teacher was holding her arms down. When I brought up my concerns about this, the front desk attendant said that she would pass them on to my daughter's teachers. I was never once offered a conference or meeting with my daughter's teachers. All information between parents and teachers had to be transmitted through the front desk attendant. To Bright Horizons credit, our daughter did develop a love of books while attending. She was able to turn pages from a very young age and is still book-obsessed. If you only need care in the mornings AND you work in POTA or surrounding buildings, then Bright Horizons would be a good choice. If you need care throughout the whole day and/or you need to drive to POTA just for childcare I would recommend against this place.

They update your will a report at the end of the day. Their COVID parameters are also CDC compliant. I give this an average rating because the location and accessibility is miserable. Unless you work directly downtown, it is an inconvenient location that easily takes an additional 30min out of your day from just dropping off and picking up. 30min doesn't sound like alot but it makes a big difference when you only have 1.5 hr after work for your child before their bedtime.

They love their teachers and classmates, which says it all. We feel seen, valued, and respected as a same sex couple with children. We are deeply grateful for the support from teachers like Ms. Oana, Ms. Anna, Ms. Selena, Ms. Destiny, Ms. Tammy, Ms. Sym, Ms. Nicole, and Ms. Ashlee.

We highly recommend Young Stars to any family looking for a daycare that combines safety, learning, and joy.
