My daughter attended NTMC Ruston for 2 years (toddler class, then preschool)…read more Waitlist: I attended a mandatory intro meeting in Sep and we started the following September. The person leading that session mentioned if you contact a couple times to check-in for status, your wait time might drop as spots open up. Initially, I was informed we had a 2 yr wait, and then we were admitted after 12 months (I emailed twice - once in February and once in May). Part of the wait is if you have a specific location. I think emailing to check helped clarify what locations were acceptable for us. Communications were good, particularly in the younger class, which had more notes. I felt like I could talk to my daughter's teachers and the director if I had any questions. My kiddo loved NTMC. She had a couple teachers in her toddler class, and a couple teachers in the large preschool class (3-4 teachers at any given time). Teachers cared about all the kids and they had fun. The director of the location switched 3-4 times and my kids teachers changed a few times. It is run as a business, but I'm ok with that. I have heard of other peoples experiences that are not similar to ours - like not having class staffing for a few weeks, or that it's not Montessori enough. I just never personally experienced those things. My kid loved teachers Makhayla, Rhonda, Kristin, Gaby, and Yenny. She told me yesterday she missed Teacher Rhonda! I thought it was reasonably secure and the schedule was age appropriate. Potty training was easy with help from NTMC. We switched to another preschool to have more structured education and try to get into a school so we wouldn't have to apply at K.

As a parent of a nonverbal autistic child, I am extremely disappointed in the way Kid's Country…read morehandled our experience, especially after a change in leadership. While the previous staff showed care and compassion, everything changed under the new director. What's most troubling is that the director claimed to have experience working with children with disabilities, yet she refused to make any effort to communicate with my nonverbal child. No visual cues, no gestures, no attempts at understanding, just avoidance and blame! Instead of support, I was repeatedly asked to leave work shortly after drop-off, because the staff couldn't "manage" her behavior, behavior that is common for children on the spectrum. My child was even referred to as "wild," which is dehumanizing and unacceptable. They also made it clear that they wouldn't allow her to attend without a one-on-one aide, which they provided no assistance in arranging. Meanwhile, when my child was bitten or pushed by other children, I was rarely informed, but if she had any issue, it was escalated immediately, making it clear she was being singled out and unfairly targeted. This is not a safe or inclusive space for neurodivergent children. If your child has a disability, especially if they're nonverbal or any child period. Please seek a center that not only says they support inclusion but actually practices it.

The issue I have is that the very first time I went there to pick up my kid they didn't check anything.

There is a 2nd locked door but when the lady just opens it without asking any questions it's very concerning. They did they same thing with my mother-in-law too. No ID was asked for, they didn't even ask for my name. It's very very concerning and needs to be addressed!
