I pick up my children every day better than I left them. From a mom that stayed home with her first child until he was 2. I have never felt very confident about leaving my children under another's care, but I never worry about them at Greensboro Montessori. They love their teachers and their teachers love them. Everything from the curriculum to the manner in which they speak to the children is purposeful and kind. In addition to being well cared for, my 2 children, 3.5 and 1.5, are also learning. My kids have been to other schools and we visited other daycares before we decided on Greensboro Montessori, but none compare. They have a magical formula of learning through exploration and play. They treat children like little explorers and scientists, guiding their play. There is no competitive helicoptery vibe. They simply look for opportunities to tie information into a child's natural exploration. Children explore different "works" rather than cheap toys. They play with sand and water, paint and blocks with the intention of figuring out how we function in the world rather than being "entertained." They also spend a lot of time outside with nature, walking in the nearby woods and gardening which I value tremendously. Children are also encouraged to be independent. Each child is considered at their own level and challenged to do things for themselves in a kind and supportive environment. I was surprised to find when my son started here at 2 all the things that he could do for himself and was eager to do. Everyone needs a purpose and children are the same. This school provides children with a safe and nurturing environment to learn and grow. The school also provides helpful seminars on evidence-based gentle parenting techniques and fosters a real sense of community. There are regular events for all ages and opportunities to participate/volunteer. We considered schools that were more budget, providing diapers and multiple meals and snacks as part of tuition, but none had the level of caring and commitment I feel here. This place isn't simply caring for your children and keeping them alive, but constructively and mindfully creating a complete environment for children to become well rounded, empathic, intelligent people.

At first everything seemed to be perfect as they were working with us in getting him to adopt in starting preschool. Last week we started getting reports of him biting other children something that we were already working at home with him. Every time I was notified, they made it seemed that it was my son as the aggressor. The more I asked about what led up to him reacting this way I got vaig information. In one case it was brought up to me where my son just got up from his seat and pushed the kid and proceeding to biting but one of the teachers couldn't tell me what happened before that. I met with the teachers and the director and we got a plan going on how we will proceed moving forward. And I was working hard at home so that the incidents of biting would stop. This week I'm being told that my son has now proceeded to not only bite but slap a kid and then aggressively grab another child. This too is a complete shock as my son is not and has never been aggressive. In fact other kids has hit him and he has not done anything. The biting yes and we are working on it and I took full responsibility for it. I wrote an email to the direct with my concerns and that my son will no longer be coming back and I just got a simple Im sorry to hear that and that she wishes the best of luck as well as stating that my son is not being singled out. Her generic email was not good enough for me as I would have thought that someone like her would want to investigate on what exactly happened to see if they can improve for other children in the future. After I demanded for answers and detail for every incident it was very clear to me that A. Teacher supervision is at a minimum which doesn't not make sense as there are a total of 7 or 8 students with 2 teachers B. My suspicion of them singling out my son was becoming more obvious and C. My son was being punished more severely than the other kids. Everything that the other kids did was age appropriate, the taking of the toys constantly even after "they had a talk to that child", the hitting etc. but what my son was doing was not only not tolerated but it was the worse thing ever, he was a risk to the other children. Every time I got informed my son was this aggressive kid who out of no where reacted in violence. The direct does not care enough to get to the bottom of what is going on unless it brought up to her attention by me as a parent. She doesn't investigate prior to be well prepared or to inform on what is actually happening and causing this. She just goes off of what teachers tells her. I don't believe that one of the teachers should be a working there as I do believe that a lot of the problems were caused by her, not properly supervising, not really caring and over exaggerating. Not to mention that the picture she provided of herself to showcase in the classroom as well as to give out was a bit sexual. When my child was picked up, It was always the sensation that they were ready to get rid of him at the end of the day with the teacher having little patience.If that was honestly the case and how they felt, I would have appreciated that to be expressed instead of having my kid suffer. Oh and forgot to mentioned now when we tell my son no to something he is doing bad, he puts his head down and don't look at you in your eyes and it all started last week and while he was in their care. Godly woman don't make kids and others feel like they are the worse people.

On the 1st day of school, I took my kid to the playground, the teacher opened the gate, ushered my child in, and then off he went into his classroom and I was left confused and very upset. I then received an email stating that no parents are allowed on the playground or inside the classroom at drop off or pick up. I was shocked. This raised a huge red flag with me and it only got worse from there. I was never greeted by any of the teachers at drop off or pick up. Every time I pulled into the parking lot, I saw all 4 preschool teachers congregated in one spot, talking to each other, not supervising, talking to, or playing with the children. When I asked specific questions about my son's day, they replied with general statements such as "It was a good day" or "We played so much today". They informed us that hand foot and mouth disease was going around their classroom and when I asked what their procedure was for washing the toys with soap and water and disinfecting them, wiping down frequently touched surfaces, and washing soft toys in the classroom, the head of the school told me there weren't any policies in place. That they never wash or wipe down the toys and surfaces, but only use a disinfectant spray. This is a violation of the NC state law requirement for health and sanitation in a preschool classroom. I finally get to see my child's classroom and it is disgusting. Grime, food and dirt on toys, chairs, tables, and surfaces the kids frequently touch. Exposed outlets galore and hazardous chemicals are kept where children can reach them. At pick-up one day, his teacher informed me that he had trouble opening his lunchbox and spilled all of his lunch on the floor. She said they do not have extra food for children so, guess what, he just didn't eat that day at school! He was STARVING when I picked him up. Why didn't anyone call me and let me know so I could bring him more food?? I picked him up one day and he had a huge scrape on his knee that had bled. I asked what happened and he said he fell on the sidewalk outside. I asked his teacher what happened and her response was "I don't know". Didn't turn to the other 3 teachers who were on the playground when it happened and ask them if maybe they saw something. Just said "I don't know" over and over.  They do not take the children to the potty before going outside or at any time of the day which leads to frequent accidents. The kids have to change themselves and aren't cleaned off, aren't made to wash their hands, nor do the teachers wash their hands. They spend the entire day outside (no matter how hot it is) where they play by themselves and the teachers socialize with each other. They claim their teachers have "extensive education and experience in early childhood" but only one teacher has some education in the field. AND they took my 3-year-old on a bus, off-campus, and did not tell us!!! To top it all off, when I went to the head of the school with my concerns, she did not seem phased one bit. She made excuses for each issue and offered no resolution. At the end of an hour-long meeting of expressing my legitimate concerns for my child's safety and health, she said "Thank you for bringing your concerns to me, we will try to do better moving forward". That was it. No resolution, no looking into things to find out what is happening, nothing. I emailed the head of school and told her I was pulling my child out of the preschool (yes, even though I would not be getting a refund of my $12,100) and I told her exactly why I was doing so. I did not even receive an email back, she did not care at all. I would NOT put my child here. The staff put on a facade that they are a great, friendly school where kids can thrive and grow but they are the exact opposite!! These are things easily seen if you are paying attention, know what to look for, and aren't distracted by their attempts to convince you the school is "great". You do not want to pay $12,100 for them to merely babysit your child and not keep them safe!! If you currently have your child enrolled here, please start asking more questions and paying close attention, you will see for yourself!
