They are super communicative through the app and I appreciate the pictures and updates that they post throughout the day, it makes me feel so comfortable that I am able to get pictures throughout the day. Anna and Suneeta in the toddler room are amazing with my son who has a harder time being away from me. Every single one of the staff here is so amazing and it helps me feel comfortable leaving my kids in their care!

I do not recommend this school for toddlers…read more I received a message through their app that there had been an incident with my 2 year old son and that he had fallen off a ladder during outside water time. Attached to the message was a picture of my sons face with an extremely large bruise on his left cheek bone. An incident like this warrants more than just a text message from their staff. A phone call would have been more appropriate. Especially since their was a head injury. I most certainly question what their staff is doing during their outside play time, because Ive had multiple conversations / incidences with staff in regards to the little kids playing in the "big kid area" it's clearly not safe for them near there. Unfortunately bc of this incident we are no longer having our son attend Heartprints Montessori. Self-directed activity doesn't mean you let these toddlers do whatever they want and not observe/watch them.

We had such an amazing experience there with our son, who was part of their pre-k classroom!…read moreIncredible teachers, so much play time, and the co-op aspect of the whole thing was incredible!

This will be our 3rd year as a family at the Co-op and I can't recommend it more for not only your…read morekiddo, but also the community that comes with it. It is so nice to get together with like-minded parents that just want a place where their kids can play and explore. You yourself get a chance to be in the classroom and help out, play and see all of your kids' friends interact. Soon you will be getting your feet in the sand yard, going to parent meetings where the teachers will give you tips on how to calm your child during a meltdown, and you will talk to other parents and see that you're not alone. Some examples of community that I can think of during our time are the parent meetings, potluck events, a camping trip, and events at school where everyone is welcome for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. When we had our second child, and EECP knew we were finally home, we got a few gifts delivered for our new baby, but also a couple of big brother gifts and books from the school. When I'm at work and I get some photos sent to our parent group message board of what the kids are doing that day, it makes you wish you were at school that day instead of sitting behind a desk. Those are the times I know that we got lucky to find the EECP and other involved parents and teachers. One other thing I remembered that I enjoy is the stuff that our kiddo brings home. It is not just paintings that will soon be on your fridge or decorated shoe boxes, but also stories and music. Our 3-year-old would come home from school and teach me about Mardi Gras. He insisted on Mardi Gras songs being played in our home. He enjoyed dancing and marching and was explaining how parades worked, as if I had no idea what one was. It was so much fun to finally go to school and see all the kids parade around in fun costumes and carry around little decorated shoe boxes they made in class. This is just one of the events that we've loved as a family and now as a community.

When I toured this place it felt organized and structured yet still very cozy and familial. My daughter has been going here almost two months now and she loves it. I love that they rarely if ever have screen time, they play outside a lot, the teachers communicate important things to us parents, we get little updates during the day, and like I said it's a very familial vibe. They had a fall festival a couple weeks back that was very fun. The price also is extremely reasonable for all they offer. We are SO pleased with this daycare.
