The staff is extremely unprofessional. There were incidents of the assistant head of school speaking negatively about parents to other parents. There has been SEVERAL times where I walk into a class to pick up my son and see the extended day guides on their phones and not paying attention to the children. 2. The guides are careless. My son has come home many times with dry food or glue on his glasses to where he couldn't see out of them. If the staff cared, they would take the 1 minute it takes to wipe his glasses off. He's also come home with dried glue stuck in his hair. This is also something that could've been cleaned off with water in one minute. 3. The head of school and assistant head of school DO NOT have your child in their best interest. They have their behinds in their best interest. - they did not want to advance my son into the children's house class because of a minor speech delay and NORMAL toddler behavior. They are NOT ACCEPTING of children who don't act and talk just like theirs. 4. They rarely upload progress reports or pictures of your child's daily activities. 5. They have new staff coming in and out of this school monthly it seems. If your child has some type of developmental delay, DO NOT enroll your child here. It is a waste of time and money..and quite frankly, energy! I'm extremely baffled with the fact that they aren't accepting of my son when they talk about loving and caring so much for these kids. They are deceiving. They will make you feel like it is your fault! Don't let Jamila or Sydney manipulate you.

After quickly adjusting to his new routine, my son has since remained enthusiastic to go to school. Ms Puja, the experienced director, and Ms Erica were so patient and understanding with my multiple calls, emails and texts checking in on my son in his first couple of weeks. We knew our son was in great hands from the start. My son enjoys all of the engaging activities his teachers provide each day. His language has expanded in just weeks and he's singing songs at home. I have experience as an early childhood educator and I am in awe of all of the experiences and opportunities to learn that they are providing to my 1.5 year old each day. I know that he will continue to grow and learn here for years to come and he will, most definitely, benefit from his time here at HMA. When I pick my son up each day you can see the love he has for all of his amazing teachers and the staff at HMA and I can see that they know and care for my child and all of the children in their care. He blows kisses and grins to each teacher when we leave and it melts my heart. If you are anywhere near this location and looking for a home away from home for your child, as well as a place that will foster their growth and development with love and patience, I'd highly recommend that you tour HMA. When I visited HMA I knew it was a special place and I am grateful to send my son there each day because of the amazing staff.

Absolute worst experience--Zero safety and zero accountability!…read more I am writing this to warn everyone about the complete lack of professionalism and safety at this facility. Management is claiming I was a "no call, no show," which is a blatant lie. I was physically present at the facility. I explicitly requested the security camera footage to prove that a teacher hit a child and tried to grab me but they have repeatedly refused to provide it to me. I finally told the staff member to call me only when they actually have the footage ready. Worse than the administrative dishonesty is how they handle safety. I brought up a severe incident where I was almost assaulted inside the classroom. Instead of taking this safety breach seriously, the staff member in management literally smirked in my face and acted like it never happened. This place allows teachers to hit and roughen up students without any consequences. Do not trust them with your safety or your children. They do not care about security, they hide evidence, and they laugh at violence. Avoid this place at all costs!

My son is practicing new skills at school everyday and his independence is growing rapidly. I also love the picture updates.

This is an update to my original review as of 5/16/2024…read more Miss Bloomingdale's continues to be such a great school for our youngest daughter. She is now 5, and in the Pre-K/Kindergarten program, and just loves all her teachers there. Miss Chere is clearly one of her favorites. And even though she is not in Miss Chere's class anymore, she always wants to make sure I take her to Miss Chere's classroom so she can say hi to her and give her a hug. But all the teachers continue to be great. And Miss Bloomingdale's as an institution is really an excellent value. For the combination of care, education and tuition rates...they are well worth it. And it's evident that they do the best they can to keep their tuition rates as reasonable as possible while still being able to provide a quality education and stay in business in this highly competitive environment. This is a locally-owned, family-run business that I'm proud to support, and I genuinely feel they have been overall a better fit for our family than other daycares/schools in the area that are most likely cookie cutter franchises -- and more expensive.

From day 1, the staff has shown a nervous and at times, an overprotective mother that this was the right place for our son. Little things such as walking into the building, and EVERY staff member that you encounter says good morning to your child and addresses him by name (yes, even people that are not/nor has been his teacher); it gives you a sense of family. Miss Bloomingdale's molds your child into a well-rounded individual. The focus on learning and development - 5 stars; athletics (swim, soccer and dance classes are offered ONSITE) - 5 stars. Learning good manners and respect - 5 stars!!! The teachers and staff - 5 stars. Had we not moved, my son would without a shadow of a doubt would still be there. In fact, I was more emotional and torn up about him leaving. Thank you Miss Bloomingdale's for the huge impact you've had on my family. Will forever be in our hearts!!!

Like I did, you may think this is a good thing as your kid gets to see the school and the Teacher gets to know kid's strengths and weaknesses so that they can help kids in some areas and set them up for the success. If you think like I did, you are wrong, in the name of "assessment/Interview" they regulate admissions. They cherry pick kids & call it company policies. Kids at age 2 or 3 you are supposed to accept all comers just like authentic public schools but they are private franchises and won't thrive for diversity. This is a terrible thing to do and remember they will judge your kid and parenting the minute you walk in the door for the interview. They seek answers for all the questions from their questionnaire, and they judge you kid based on how they feed themselves, toilet practices, language skills etc. when they are just 2 years old; if your kid lacks in some areas (most toddlers do anyway) they just decline the enrollment and confirm you in writing that you toddler is NOT ready for "Toddler" community. Staff at Wonderland Montessori won't even be shy to tell you in writing that if toddler lacks in anyone of those basis tasks at age 2 it would be difficult for a child to catch up to skills, they need to acquire at a rapid pace in their classroom of 14 students. Rapid Pace, what, huh? I was shocked!! Asked them are we still talking about "Toddler Enrollment" in the day care or High school senior enrolling in college? Though I had a terrible experience and short-term agony but I'm happy that in the long-run I liberated my kid from toxic culture and policies. Just beware of this kind of "biased" selection process and remember you always have options for your loved ones.

My son has learned so much and has grown so much at the school. When he started, he was very sad and hated to leave us, but after about a week he was happy to go to school, hugged the teachers, and didn't want to leave. The administration is also awesome! Unfortunately, we moved back to Virginia. We wish we could have brought the school with us. It is definitely our favorite thing about Dallas.

Looking back on our experience, there is absolutely no question in my mind that the 2+ years we spent with St. Christopher's were the best for not only our boys (now 5- & 6-years old), but our whole family. From the smart, personable, and observant teachers, to the diverse (international!) feel of the community, to the bright & welcoming atmosphere created by Becky and the front desk staff, St. Christopher's truly raised the bar for our expectations of a school & faculty. Prior to finding St. Christopher's, our boys had attended both Montessori and non-Montessori schools in the White Rock Lake/Lake Highlands areas, and they've attended 3 other schools (1 Montessori, 1 public, and 1 private) in Dallas & Rowlett since. Being a part of so many different schools (not all of which were bad, by the way!) has taught us to appreciate the "small" things (hygiene!, front desk friendliness, student diversity, parental involvement) as well as the "big" things (safety/security, curriculum, communication, caring & nurturing atmosphere). St. Christopher's gave us all of those things and then some. As parents, we always felt welcome, and we rested assured knowing that our children were being exposed to cool neat things (languages, art, etc.) and ideas by people who cared about them & their respective development (our boys are pretty different from one another!). When my wife & I finally settled down in Rowlett (20 miles east of Dallas), our biggest regret was that we'd have to leave St. Christopher's - and even then, we made the daily 2-hour commute until we couldn't take it anymore. If you have the opportunity to send your kids here, I truly can't recommend it highly enough. It's the best, most nurturing and inspiring school we came across. Best wishes to you & your family, and I hope your experience is as good as ours was! :)

While the school has seen several administrative changes, including a very difficult period under a previous director, we stayed because of the incredible teaching staff. Unfortunately, the school recently lost Ms. Shelina, an 11-year veteran and the only fully Montessori-certified teacher on staff. To see a teacher of her caliber and dedication pushed out--seemingly due to administrative interference with her classroom expertise--is heartbreaking. Furthermore, the physical environment has declined; classrooms have become overcrowded with furniture, making it difficult for children to work independently as the Montessori method intends. Until there is stability in staffing and a return to true Montessori standards, I find it difficult to recommend this school to new families.

I waited a few months after enrolling my daughter into a new daycare to provide a fair review…read more Where to begin? There were several unacceptable moments at this daycare and yet I still trusted my daughter to them. 1. As an infant a teacher fell with my daughter in her arms. I wasn't advised I had a couple days to request to view the cameras. They never called an ambulance they just said she was fine. I kick myself in the butt for never taking this further and reporting them. 2. There was a teacher named Jasmine that an incident happen with and they let her go. 3. There was an incident where I arrived to be told my daughter ran into another child face to face collision and she had a huge knot on her forehead. No medical care was provided, I was notified by a teacher that wasn't even in the room or witness to the incident. The teacher caring for her supposedly never noticed or witnessed anything. Laughable, 2 children colliding hard enough to create a big knot on my daughter's forehead would have caused them to both cry. Nonetheless, no one was aware she had a head injury therefore if she would have suffered any symptoms after the fact or even died no one was aware of what occurred until I was notified at pick up and I sent an email out to them addressing that incident and how it was not okay. That's when they expressed they had no idea what had happened until they had to sign the paper notice I signed at pick up. 4. Children biting all the time and no one correcting that behavior. After my daughter was bit a few times she tried to start biting and I correct that behavior immediately. 5. Many other incident and situations occurred, but my last straw was Ms. Lee psychologically impacting my child and forcing her to put her shoes on when my child couldn't. What's worse is I supply shoes without shoe laces and the best part is I was watching the cameras right when this was happening. It lasted minutes not seconds, she proceeded to have my child crying while my child sat on the floor, Ms. Lee was inches from her face saying "God knows what". My daughter's legs were out with knees slightly bent and Ms. Lee decided to press her knee down (continued saying things) and forcing her to get her shoes and put them on. That was it, I had enough and had her removed for the room and made the decision to seek care elsewhere. This daycare is not a daycare, they don't have curriculums, they keep the older kids outside for hours even with extreme heat. They don't have any type of system to teach children consistency, potty training, nor any type of developmental curriculum. This is more like a nanny service, drop off your child, hope for the best and be met with you're just a nagging parent. I made a mistake to trust this place because my older son went to a children's courtyard in Grand Prairie and they were phenomenal. But this location only cares about money and doing the bare minimum. I'm happy to say that my daughter is at a new daycare center (different company) and it has been a success. My daughter has learned and experienced many amazing things and is fully potty trained. This happened in less than 6 months. The curriculum at this new school is high standard, she has done amazing activities, experienced diverse cultures. They don't spend hours outside (especially with it being cold). There is consistency and an actual curriculum with actual learning. Do no waste your money and time at this location, do not regret giving one opportunity after another for them to do right and also, do not have children ages 2-3 and older on the right side of the school (when you enter all rooms to the right), because the teachers yell at the children and they also use profanity. Yes, saying stupid, dumb, or worse profanity is profanity and unacceptable language. Lastly, it got so bad on the right side with Ms. Lee my child was crying on our way to daycare, and when we turned the corner to her classroom she would run back towards the entrance and cry that she didn't want to stay and how Ms. Lee treated her some way. Listen to your child, when they cry in your car driving to daycare (or any location) when they express anxiety or fear to enter a classroom and their facial and physical expression change *huge red flag* do not ignore your child. I drew the line especially when I seen what I seen on camera and it was the best decision I could have made for my daughter that is now in a better place, physically, emotionally and more. I will say the issue begins with corporate, they need to be more involved in what is happening at this location, they need a better system, they need to invest more in actual curriculums and they need to stop covering up their mistakes, now they don't allow parents to see cameras, they review it themselves and then make a determination that is bias. Lastly, they do not offer water and they hardly eat the food supplied at the daycare. Your child will always be hungry and thirsty.

Rockbrook holds a special place in my heart. My seven month old son has attended the school for the last three months and we could not be more pleased with the level of care and love he receives each day. His teachers are all excellent and send home the sweetest handprint and footprint crafts that I will treasure forever. They always takes a few minutes at the end of the day to tell me how my sons day went. The administrator, takes a walk with each of the babies so they receive extra love and one on one attention. My son adores this time and crawls to the door to meet her when he hears her voice. She also tries to capture his milestones and sends them to me so I get to see them too! She sent me a picture of him standing last week! My husband and I feel so blessed to have found such a special place. read more

While there are many other similarly priced Montessori day cares in the area, Ivy's teachers and staff are what sets them apart from the rest. Their teachers are like second moms to our kids and pour so much love into their students every day. Ms. Anisa, the director, keeps us well informed and loves our kids as if they were her own. She keeps the school running smoothly, even through the many challenges COVID has presented. Ms. Julie, the infants' teacher, was such a wealth of information when our children were in her care. She was a great thought partner and helped us navigate through dropping naps, changing feeding schedules and introducing solids throughout the years we were in her class. Ms. Yazmin, Ms. Zarin, Ms. Sherry and Ms. Erica in the toddler rooms are so kind and loving with our kids.

I was shocked at how many facilities had wait lists for infant care - up to 18 months??? It didn't even make any sense to me. Ivy Montessori was literally around the corner from our home. We went in for a tour, unscheduled. The facility was much smaller than the other places we'd visited! We met with Kathie, the director and she gave us a quick tour and showed us the Infant room. It's small - with about 8 cribs, a few saucers and bouncy chairs. But I noticed there was NO smell - it was so clean! Kathie told us that there was no wait list, but as soon as we'd made a decision to bring back the deposit to hold our spot. The best part was, it was very affordable ($895/mo), especially for the North Dallas area. On his first day, I had to come back up to the center mid-day with his tuition check. I walked in to a low lit, quiet day care. The entire center was quiet - everyone was down for a nap. My baby, who had not slept over 4 hours or even in a crib yet, was asleep in a crib, on his back, in a sleep sack. From that day on, he's slept in his crib and slept through the night. They were able to put him on a schedule when I was not able to. My son has been at Ivy since he was 7 weeks old. He's now 7 months old. We have even moved to another area - but I still drive him to Ivy every single day. He is thriving, and has a team of teachers there who love him. I will sing their praises every day and am so grateful we found them. I have total peace of mind when I drop him off every morning, and I know we will keep him here until he starts Kindergarten.

Being a working parent and deciding on childcare is no easy feat, but I cannot imagine sending my son anywhere else. They are kind and welcoming and have created such an excellent space to nurture children and have a safe place to learn. My son loves his teachers and his classmates and is thriving here. I'd give them 100 stars if possible. We love ArborCreek!

We have had all three of our children at Arborcreek from 8 weeks old-3 years and I cannot speak…read morehighly enough of the quality of care and education that our children have received. Sima, the director, deeply understands children, their behavior and their abilities. Her involvement with every child and every teacher creates a very unique environment in this gem of a school. It is special for each of our children to have the same lead teacher from infancy through toddlerhood. Because of the small size and the personal connection between teachers, students and parents, we truly feel that these teachers have been partners with us in our parenting journey. Their love and commitment to the students, the amazing communication with us as parents, and the willingness to go above and beyond has made our experience truly amazing. Our kids have blossomed into confidence, happy kids who love school and love learning. We are continually amazed by what these tiny humans can learn and achieve and how creatively they are taught. We are so grateful to have ArborCreek and highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a place that can truly nurture the whole child.

My son started when he was 5 weeks old and I would love to say I love everyone there. He is almost…read more18 months now. And the smile he gives everyone tells me a lot. My son definitely shows that emotion when he does not want to be there but he never shows that. The staff have been amazing and showed so much love to my child. I had no doubt in the staff and they took care of my child so much he is literally talking words I can understand and singing all the time.

My son went there for over a year, and we are very pleased with their management…read more He has speech impairment, so he faces difficulties communicating with fellow classmates. The other Montessori where he was enrolled before, the teachers did not help him a bit; instead, they criticized him, gave him punishments. But here, the teachers were always there to help him. they gave him confidence and helped him to be confident. He also has potty training issues. Most of the Montessori does not accept untrained kids above 4 year age bracket. But again, they helped him a lot. I would suggest everyone enroll their kids to this Montessori.
