I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience with the admissions process at…read moreCentral Montessori Academy. I first applied for my child on May 14, 2024, and received confirmation. Over time, I was told he was on the waiting list, and later that he was first on the waiting list. Then that there was no waitlist and administration had changed. I remained patient and continued to follow up appropriately. Since then, I have reapplied and followed up multiple times across the past two years. Most recently, I submitted another application and reached out again only to receive no response at all. I understand that staff may be out of the office at times. However, a complete lack of communication and follow-through over an extended period reflects a breakdown in process, not just timing issues. As a parent, it's frustrating and discouraging to feel like your child's application is not being actively managed. I genuinely like what this school represents, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Strong schools should have strong communication especially in admissions, where families are trying to make important decisions. At this point, it's difficult to feel confident in how prospective families are handled.

The teachers are so loving and affectionate, yet maintain perfect order, discipline, and manners in the classroom. With Patti, Theresa, Gail, and Stacey's help, our son began reading at four years old and makes amazing progress every day. As importantly, he has learned to be a "solid citizen" towards his teachers, classmates, and family. The school and its setting on the hillside Villa Madonna campus are idyllic, and I feel such joy every morning when we arrive. Villa Madonna Montessori has made our son excited for school and eager to learn -- the greatest foundation we could imagine from his preschool and kindergarten education.

Laurie told us all about the school and answered any questions. She gave us the opportunity to visit the classrooms and see how things run. My husband went to a Montessori school as a child, so he experienced a flood of happy memories. It was everything he dreamed of for our active little boy. We returned the next week with our little boy so he could join a class. The staff wanted to see how he fit in. Everything felt good, so we moved forward with enrollment. He's currently doing day care, but will do preschool this coming fall. Our plan is to do three full days a week (you can do full or half days, 3-5 days a week). To start the process of getting our son comfortable, they like to begin with five days. If possible, they like for one parent to stay with the child so they can leave early (probably a half day to start). This is allowing our son a smooth transition. Every child is different, so things can be adjusted depending on how they handle it. I look forward to posting again later once we've spent more time here and learn more. But we love this place so far!!

Jessie and Ami in the 3-6 class are wonderful, can't say enough good things about them. The 3-6 class typically has 20-25 students. The 6-9 and 9-12 classes are quite small, which can be a pro or con depending on what you're looking for, but the kids seem to be happy/thriving. If you are interested in traditional Montessori, give this place a look. Extras during the week include music, art, Spanish, Muse Machine (which is awesome), and phys-Ed (has included yoga, martial arts and dance). They have a playground, before/after school care, and a number of family and parent social events during the year. Communication with parents is good. If I have one criticism, it is that I wish they went outside more on some of the colder winter days, but I'm from a colder state so I may be biased.

Unfortunately we had a very negative experience at Kids R Kids West Chester. Initially when we…read morestarted our daughter there, communication from the principal was good and the care provided by the teachers was decent. Things really started going downhill when Jessica took over as principal. We started noticing the updates through Procare were few and far between, and when asked for updates from the teachers at pick up we got minimal info... so we started resorting to watching the cameras that were made available to parents. At this point we started noticing our daughter (and many other kids) were not being offered drinks for breakfast - this was noted on MULTIPLE occasions. My husband and I reached out to the front desk numerous times to voice this concern to assure our daughter is offered drinks, and after progress was not being made we reached out to Jessica via email. The email was ignored, so my husband spoke with her one day at pick up to request a meeting - at the meeting we expressed our concerns of drinks not being offered, she assured us this wasn't true and diminished our concerns. We pleaded for her to look at the camera footage, but I don't believe this was ever done. We also expressed our concerns that Procare had been down for a month and paper charting wasn't being done. She gave some false promises that she would talk to the teachers and assure this is being done here forward and said there was nothing they could do about Procare being down. The coming few weeks we received maybe two paper charts with Procare still being down. The final straw was when we brought our daughter home and noted that she has a diaper rash and un-wiped leftover stool on her legs and peri area. This was shocking because our daughter is 2 years and potty training, and hasn't had a diaper rash since she was a newborn... and this happened in a matter of 8 hours at daycare. We pulled her from Kids R Kids that day, reached out to the regional director to voice our concerns, who was so apologetic and wonderful. She did inform us that Procare was only down maybe 3 days, and not the 1-2 months that Jessica led us to believe... so just another wild thing to add to the list of concerns. Overall I would NEVER recommend this daycare to anyone under the care of Jessica and the toddler room teachers (aside from Miss Helen, who was very kind and caring) they have no accountability and don't take parents concerns seriously. Please think twice before sending your child here.

The priceless education and character formation offered at GSCM provides my children with an incredible foundation as both students and people moving forward in this world. The teachers at GSCM work to offer individualized experiences for each student, meeting the child where he or she is at, and working with his or her interests to make learning exciting. Students experience cultural enrichment, as well as a deep understanding and love for the Catholic faith. Outdoor exploration, and a keen sense of a child's need for adventure in the natural world are just some of the key components that GSCM offers to those who attend. We could not be more pleased with Good Shepherd Catholic Montessori, not only as a school, but more like a second home for our children!
