We attended OST school for the past year and had excellent teachers in the infant room (Karolina…read moreand Makenzi) and then in the one year old room (Ana). My child built a great relationship with all of them and it was clear he was learning and growing under their care. About 6 months ago they started using an app and I received regular updates and photos about how the day was going - loved this! The prior directors, Jessica and Anissa, and the current director, Misty, have all been great and have happily answered any question I had or engaged in a conversation if I had any concerns. Our childcare needs have changed now, but if we need a daycare again, OST will be at the top of our list for both care and value.

Let me start of by saying the regional director the assistant director Nikki and Natasha the twos…read moreteacher is amazing! Now for the actual director Gianna Kelly... be cautious with her. She has no concern for your child's or your concerns. I have three children that were all going there (10, 7, 2 years old). I had to move my two year old to another daycare due to him getting bitten and scratched constantly. I understand when you have a toddler things are bound to happen at daycare. My concern is when I brought this to Gianna's attention about the safety and reporting and consequences of behavior it was brushed off, like it wasn't that big of a deal. Every single week he was enrolled here he had one to three ouch reports sent home EVERY WEEK! The teacher Natasha was very nurturing and made sure to give my son tlc when this happened and was VERY transparent about all of the situations, she was able to explain what happened what she was able to do about it, but when I went to the director.... Uhg let's just say it didn't matter. I have never felt so disrespected by a care giver in my life! I had to speak with her a few times about this and every single time it wasn't as big of a deal as I was making it out to be. One time I had my 7 year old in the office with me and I was holding his hand talking to her about my concerns for my 2 year old and she literally got in my face and was extremely Rude and saying we can't do anything for your child since it's not the same child that has bit him... she then proceeded to say that if you feel your child is unsafe you should remove him from the program. Responsibility and accountability was always evaded with Gianna... instead of trying to fix the problem she would say well we can't separate the kids... well then maybe we should address biting... granted kids bite because they can't speak their frustrations... so as a director of the daycare what do we do about biting!? Her response was all we can do is separate them for that day and call the parents of the child that bit... okay... well on one side that makes sense but for my child to be bitten pretty much 5 weeks or so in a row by "different" kids hm... something needs to be addressed obviously! I got to a point where I didn't even feel comfortable talking to the director anymore. She seriously does not care about anything... the way that she speaks to children is absolutely ludicrous saying "get out of my face, you are a child you don't get to ask questions" talk about emotional abuse! I have so much going on in my life that I don't need a daycare that has a five star rating, I'm supposed to trust, to have no care in the world! Honestly, I just don't get it! Thankfully the regional director got involved and it will be handled accordingly. I still don't feel comfortable having conversations with the director though! I will go to the co director or the teachers before I talk to Gianna.. this was my first time putting my children in daycare because I've been a stay at home mom for ten years. This is why I would rather stay at home with my children because of stuff like this. I just want to let everyone know my situation because I don't want you to go in there blindly. If they got rid of Gianna I would probably put my 2 year old back into the school but knowing Gianna doesn't care much about children and the concerns for occurrences like this, I can't. Also, the bulling of her own staff is sad. The way that she tries to scare the people that work for her because SHE got in trouble is beyond me. In my opinion Gianna needs to go this is no way upper management should ever act! I am completely baffled!

We love Montessori Learning School! Our son has been attending the toddler program for one year now…read moreand we've had such a positive experience. The program director and teachers have really gone above and beyond to help support our son's development. We were especially appreciative of their support during potty training and learning to use gentle hands with peers. I have loved the emphasis on building independence and our son does a great job with putting on clothes/shoes, mealtime routines, cleaning up messes, etc. The students have "jobs" they select and complete, and these tasks have helped our son with his focus, problem solving, and fine skills (just to name a few). Our family also loves that the toddler program is Spanish immersion. Our son is currently 2.5 and is talking more and has such positive things to say about his teachers, classmates, and experiences at school. His favorite is when Mr. Bruce (a music teacher) comes to visit. We toured quite a few programs in the area and really appreciated how intentional MLS is. We highly recommend MLS

As both a pediatrician and a mom, I do not recommend this daycare…read more The staff are not honest about children's daily care. They often logged that my child "ate everything" right after I left, but when I checked the cameras, his plate was still full. When he was in the infant room, I personally observed a teacher, Miss Andrea, mixing formula incorrectly (putting powder before water), which makes it dangerously concentrated. When my 18-month-old began biting more often after the arrival of his baby sister--a completely normal developmental stage--the teachers showed no understanding or empathy. Instead of working with us, arranging a parent meeting, or providing a clear redirection process, they suspended him. Suspending a toddler is not developmentally appropriate; a child that age cannot understand suspension. They told me they were "following policy," but when I reviewed the actual policy, it clearly stated they should have scheduled a meeting with the family first. Even more concerning, one day my child came home with a bite mark. When I asked the staff, they did not even know it had happened. Miss Andrea even suggested that my toddler "might have bitten himself." Accusing a baby of biting himself instead of acknowledging poor supervision is unacceptable and unprofessional. Lupita, the director, was especially disappointing. She lacked the skills and empathy to handle the situation, failed to communicate effectively with us, and made no effort to support our child through this normal developmental challenge. A strong director should guide staff, partner with families, and create a safe, supportive environment. Instead, Lupita was dismissive, unprofessional, and made it clear she did not care about our concerns. Most of the staff appear to be high school students or people with no degree in child development or real training in toddler behavior. The lack of professional knowledge and leadership was obvious from the top down. Also some teachers dont speak English like Miss Silva. After we disenrolled, Lupita and the staff were rude and dismissive, showing no concern for our child or family. Since moving to another daycare, my child has been thriving with no biting issues at all--proving that the problem was the environment at La Petite, not him. Overall, my child was not cared for appropriately or fairly. As both a pediatrician and a parent, I strongly advise families to look elsewhere for childcare.
