Within the first two weeks of starting school at Effica I noticed an improvement in his work ethic at home. He was more willing to help out around the house. All of the teachers are so kind and caring. It is obvious they are passionate about the well-being and growth of the kids. I would highly recommend!

I only have experience with one level but have had two kids there and we have been very happy with…read morethe teachers and the new principal. We would definitely recommend this school for those looking for a Montessori experience.

We have been at Creative World of Montessori since 2019 (my child's preschool, kindergarten, first,…read moreand second grade). We loved the school and felt our child was in a supportive, nurturing, yet balanced environment. Then this current school year came. Our child's lead teacher abruptly quit. We still haven't been notified by the administration as to why this change, only complaints from the current teacher and no answers from the principal when I talked on the phone and email and in person to both the teacher and principal. We only left these conversations feeling more confused (no answers or solutions, only projection and gaslighting). My child's classroom has not been a pleasant one and we have been unable to effectively communicate or resolve issues with the current teacher.  Then, the principal quit. We have made the difficult yet necessary decison to take our child out of this school mid-year. I do not recommend this school for your child. Too many secrets and not enough clear communication. When there is not clear and transparent communication, push back when I ask questions about my child's learning, and an obvious disconnect from teachers and administration, I do NOT trust the people who are in charge of my child's safety and learning for an entire day. We hate this school so much we are willing to leave money on the table for the sake of our family's mental well-being. We are so disappointed in you, CWCC inc. (company that owns Creative World of Montessori).

We have been with this location for one year and my child absolutely loves it here. We have never…read morehad any issues with behavior or teachers not paying attention to the children. When any issues have been brought up the staff were quick to resolve and address my concerns. My child is very happy here and has developed their community of friends. The kids enjoyed field trips this summer and swim days at Twigs. The staff are doing an amazing job considering we are still enduring a pandemic. They handled the school Age group very well during remote learning . I work really long hours and am Very grateful that we were able to keep our child enrolled another year.

MULTIPLE reasons for us withdrawing that have yet to be addressed:…read more1. Told it is disconcerting my child is still biting at his age... he's 2. There is a reason why he's biting. 2. Told he should speak w a child psychologist... he's TWO. Again, THERE IS A REASON WHY HE'S BITING. 3. The continual negative ostrasizing of my son during redirect instead of positive redirects following negative behavior. For example, If he bites another student, he is told to sit apart from others. That is fine. But when he is pulled away from the reader at storytime and forced to sit apart towards the back, or at dance yesterday forced away from the front and other students, that is not ok. Thank goodness another teacher stepped in and incorporated him into the dance instruction, but that has been the only physical interaction he has had at this school apart from diaper changes. 3.5 Teachers not paying attention to students. When my son got shoved or hit, the teachers only notice his negative reaction, and praises the other student, this behavior becomes intensified later on by my son. And the circle continues. I have seen this happen multiple times on the cameras. 4. Teachers ignoring my son when he talks to them or pointing him away to go elsewhere when approached. Minimal eye contact. Zero physical contact. Again, I have witnessed this on camera. 5. Zero/late communication on brightwheel app. Diaper changes are nonexistant. No feedback from teachers. I have yet to get any response. 6. My son was not allowed to fully participate, and always picked last. Case in point, the other morning during storytime, everyone got a chance to stand up and jump while the group clapped and cheered on. My son was visibly getting increasingly agitated when he kept getting skipped over. When he finally was picked to jump, the teacher ended the cheering early and moved on. How do I know? I saw it on camera. 7. Told in front of the other parents at pickup, not privately or over the phone or even on brightwheel that my toddler has bitten "again" when asked to sign the incident report. 8. A 15 sec confrontation by unknown male yesterday after a biting incident where his teacher - yet again - wasn't paying attn to kids, focused solely on cleaning. I was told this man is a teacher, but from a different classroom. Why is it ok for another teacher from another classroom to chastise my TWO year old son? He is TWO. This man has NO clue what led up to this point, or why he has been biting in class. To top it off, he removed two females stdents from class after, which means he must also be their guardian. Unacceptable behavior from a teacher. 9. The 'lost' spare clothing set. We've only been there a week. Where could they have gone? We don't have them at home. 10. The behavior of the same man from yesterday on camera this morning in the EP classroom (why is this man in a classroom that is not his?) after learning of my son's withdrawal is abominable, and an embarassment to La Petite. The teacher who handed me my son's bag waled in to speak with the lead teacher, and then his reaction was to jump up, do a deep kneep lunge, and perform a visible referee's you're out move. Disgusting.

Fantastic preschool!

He learned so much! I loved the class parties and his teacher, Miss Joyce, is just the best! He attended summer camp there this summer and LOVED it! He brought home art projects each day, they got to make their snacks which were themed to match what they were learning about that week, and he always had tons of stories to share. I would definitely recommend this preschool to anyone living in the area! They start as early as 18 months with a Kids Day Out Program. I found the cost to be very reasonable compared to others and it warms my heart that he's learning stories from the bible and praise songs on top of regular learning.
