My son was enrolled in this school for one year. It was strongly recommended to us based on the…read moreinvolvement of one founders of the school, who has since left. There has been a lot of turn-around at the school. They emphasize a three year cycle but can't seem to keep teachers for more than one year at the Kits location. The school itself is located in the basement of a church and is rather sparse, although all the Montessori equipment is there. There is a very very small park in the front which includes a rocky sandbox, one see-saw and a geodome. But no real parks nearby for the children to play after school, just a parking lot so most parents and children just go straight home. My son's teacher and the aids were wonderful. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the Principal of the school. There is a lack of effort to communicate with the parents and lack of effort to make you feel like part of the school community. There are no field trips or other outings. They strictly adhere to the Montessori principles and the 3 hour cycle, but other "real" AMI-Montessori also value the occasional fieldtrip or outing. My son didn't look forward to going to school, other than to see his friends. Unfortunately, this school is run primarily as a principal who seems more interested in the business and I did not feel like she cared much for the families that attend her school. It seemed like all parents questions were responded to with a condescending remark touting the virtues of the Montessori method. I consider myself supportive of the Montessori philosophy. The teachers and aides are wonderful but if the leadership is mediocre so too will be the school.

My daughter who absolutely loves the school is now in second year at PRM…read more My friend's son attended there and he and the parents could not be happier with the results of education at PRM. I did listen to their advice since I know they are very picky and very involved parents. I also looked around with other schools and we decided there. The teachers cannot be any better. They are very passionate and very keen on guiding the kids in proper Montessori way. The school holds 4-5 parent teacher info nights yearly and I can tell that school appreciates parents involvement by providing us a place to discuss questions and informing us about the school. All the parents are pretty close and we do stay after school (even though it's small playground or the parking lot) to chitchat. It might look shabby place to some people but the school does provide material that are Montessori appropriate and the great teachers make it wonderful place and experience for the kids there.

cool school. They shot a Disney movie "Geek Charming" here recently.read more
