Her reading comprehension is strong and her attention is much improved. The thing that I really appreciate about the teachers is the fact that they want to learn more about the respective cultures of the student body so that they can prepare them for the diverse world that exists outside of the school. My daughter is part of such a warm and welcoming environment, so much so that they even invited parents to come in and contribute towards a special event yesterday to better understand and appreciate the importance of Lunar New Year to my family and the other families that celebrate. As a dad, I will always be thankful for that. Highly recommend.

The best place for your young one to start their journey!

It checked all my boxes of being clean, diverse, and a learning environment but it also was organized. I appreciated that each room had a picture and description of each teacher including their background and how long they have worked there. I also loved that there was a dry erase board with information on next diaper and next bottle. As any new parents, we were nervous about the care anyone would provide that wasn't us. Now being at Chesterbrook for over 6 months with our son, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone! The cleanliness and organization continue to stand out, along with the teachers and principals kindness and love to not only our son but the other children there. They use an app called Links2Home and we get 4-6 pictures on average of our son throughout the day. Communication through the app with the teachers and principals have been quick and responsive to our requests. Recently we had asked them to switch the order in which he eats, bottles first then solids and they adapted within the next feeding time for our son. This past Friday they had a petting zoo and give us monthly finger paintings our son has done. It's difficult to allow someone else to watch your only child but I will say I have seen him blossom and become so social with others as well as seeing his natural joy be nourished with the same love that my partner and I give. Love this place!!

I spent a lot of money for this camp and stopped sending her because she was clearly scared of the people, Ms. Maureen and her assistant. I watched from my car the second day after I dropped her off and neither one of the teachers tried to help my daughter find a friend. She walked around sadly and I never saw her play. They said she "bounced back"after I brought her blanket and stuffed animal but it shouldnt take that to get a child to feel safe in a school. I was hesitant to put her in this camp because friends said when management changed the school lost the heart of what a kids school should be and now its all about money and I totally agree. This was the most disappointing experience.

Our three year old is immensely loved here, the teachers are all wonderful and encouraging, the facility is under new management and being run beautifully, and the difference we see in our son since starting is unbelievable. He is so happy. He practically leaps out of the car every morning and doesn't want to go home at the end of the day because he loves this home away from home so dearly. We see how proud he is of himself in the strides he's making learning here. To say the staff is becoming extended family is an understatement. We are forever grateful for this experience and will be so sad when it is time to move on to Kindergarten. Being a teacher, I am fortunate to receive a 10% discount on tuition which is so appreciated. After looking into multiple programs, the tuition cost with TLE is very fair, and worth every single penny in the way our son is so well cared for. We receive updates all day on an app to tell us what he is eating/doing/learning/playing, keeps us up to date on his potty training progress (which is going very well thanks to their consistency!), and the photos show how well engaged he is all day long. This is a transparency we were not afforded in our first daycare. I could say a million and more things, there are not enough words.

Her three older brothers had attended the same preschool in another state, so we found ourselves starting from scratch in a new community. We were encouraged to contact Sully Montessori School as an educational option. From the moment Mrs. Ameena opened her door, we knew Harper would thrive. The warm, nurturing environment is complimented by a hands-on learning curriculum. In just a short time, we have seen a dramatic difference in our daughter's independence, confidence and inquisitiveness. Her development is documented regularly through video clips sent via email by Mrs. Ameena. This allows us to track her progress and the fun she is having throughout the school day. Perhaps most importantly, She has developed meaningful relationships and camaraderie with her classmates. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for our daughter through her Montessori education and are quite thankful for having found such a nurturing learning environment for her.

While this type of environment may work well for some families seeking a highly informal, hands-off setting, it was not a good fit for our family. At the elementary level, we observed wide variation in academic readiness within classrooms, with students at very different skill levels learning together. In our experience, students' academic strengths appeared to reflect individual ability or outside enrichment rather than outcomes consistently supported by the instructional program. Enrollment size is extremely small, particularly in the upper grades. We were told that recent graduating classes consisted of only one or two students, which raised concerns for us about long-term sustainability, peer learning opportunities, and social development. Families seeking sports, group activities, or broader peer interaction may find this limiting. When we asked basic, reasonable questions about curriculum and placement, communication with administration felt strained rather than collaborative. We were frequently told "we are a family here," which in practice seemed to function as a way to discourage questions or parent input. Over time, this created discomfort around advocacy rather than partnership. The school structure concentrates multiple roles within a single leader (administrator, teacher, coach, and primary decision-maker). This consolidation made the environment feel insular and, at times, uncomfortable when raising concerns. Families who value clear professional boundaries, transparency, and shared problem-solving may find this challenging. While the school promotes STEM accreditation and innovation, our experience did not reflect consistent alignment with basic public-school academic benchmarks. Families considering enrollment should ask detailed questions about curriculum standards, differentiation, and how parent feedback is handled. The school is very small, has no PTA, and limited avenues for parent collaboration. This school may be appropriate for families seeking a more affordable, informal, and highly hands-off educational setting. For families who expect academic rigor, openness to questions, and a collaborative relationship with school leadership, expectations should be managed carefully. Some families may have had different experiences, but ours was ultimately disappointing.
