UPDATE 2 - While I respect that some families may have had positive experiences, it is important to…read morerecognize that not every parent or child undergoes the same kind of treatment, communication, or support from lead teachers. One parent's positive experience should not be used to dismiss or respond to concerns raised by other affected parents. There is no need to invalidate someone else's experience when the focus should simply be on sharing one's own. In our experience, concerns regarding ADHD and behavioral differences were discussed, but what was difficult was how those concerns were approached. Sensitive matters involving a child's struggles should remain professional and parent-centered, rather than becoming discussion points in ways that affect relationships with other families whose children were friends with mine. I have heard two of the parents approach me and letting me know that my child's conditions were discussed with them and told their kids not to be friends with him. Despite being uncomfortable and concerned, they informed me about this so I would be aware of it. What became especially concerning was when my child began coming home visibly distressed, crying, and repeatedly expressing that he felt pressured by the green class teacher into accepting the blame for an incident he consistently said he did not do. From our perspective as parents, it appeared that instead of carefully understanding the situation, there were moments where he felt pushed to agree with accusations or accept responsibility despite insisting otherwise. Watching a young child become emotionally distressed to the point of crying at home and describing feeling pressured in this way significantly escalated our concerns and aggravated an already difficult situation. More importantly, identifying concerns should also come with meaningful support and guidance. Instead of collaborative strategies, accommodations, or support to help my child succeed, it often felt like the child was only commented on having ADHD and also blamed for behaviors -- such as moving quickly through activities or transitioning to another task instead of staying engaged in one work for extended periods. Expecting a young child to remain focused on a single activity for more than 30 minutes without understanding developmental needs or learning differences did not feel supportive. When I approached the lead Green Class teacher to discuss how we speak to and guide our child when he was not listening, I was told that she had significant experience handling children and did not like parents giving suggestions. I found this response dismissive because, during a meeting when we genuinely asked for suggestions or strategies to better support our child, we were told there were none and were instead asked the same question in return. However, when I attempted to offer open suggestions based on what worked for our child, this was the response I received. This felt particularly concerning when it already seemed as though there were ongoing struggles in understanding, handling, and supporting our child's individual needs rather than working collaboratively to help him succeed. Comparing a 6-year-old child to a younger child, such as a 4-year-old, was also unhelpful and discouraging. Every child develops differently, and comparisons do not provide constructive support or understanding for a child's unique strengths and challenges.

A year before joining RMA I started asking moms in the community where their children go to…read morepreschool and if they like it, and time and time again RMA came up as being the go to preschool in the area. They have a waitlist for a reason. The grounds are beautiful with open space for kids to play and there are two locked entry points w security codes to get in; the grounds are fenced to keep kids safe. The classrooms are clean and Montessori educational items are placed at eye level accessible for children to interact with. Montessori language, such as calling the activities "jobs," is used, along with the traditional "walk around the sun" ceremony that takes place on a child's birthday. The school uses an app to communicate with parents showing pictures of their child during the day so you know what they're working on. I made it a point to check in w teachers at drop off/pick up time so there was always clear communication and collaboration with the school. The staff were all professional and kind in our experience. Our child has grown so much in the years we have been at RMA. At a recent elementary school assessment we were told she scored a grade level above academically on the kindergarten readiness test. Our child loves science after having weekly hands on science experiments in the classroom; she mastered letter and number recognition; she can write her name and has developed critical thinking skills thanks to her teachers and a school environment that encourages curiosity. The performances the school puts on throughout the year are really precious. The kids work hard at learning the songs and a lot of care goes into the events. I don't know the circumstances behind the negative reviews here, but I fully respect that Ms. Janet does not air any dirty laundry on a public forum like this. All I know is that RMA has a responsibility to provide a safe and healthy environment for the children enrolled, and from our own individual experience, they have done so. Our experience with RMA has been nothing but heartwarming and positive and we will miss it.

She makes a point to greet parents and check in regularly. The front desk coordinator (I think she's East Indian) was also very kind and welcoming. I definitely felt I could trust the staff and the morning teachers, Ms. Vanessa, were especially amazing with updates for me. One improvement is more consistency with pictures/updates in the app. The app is also delayed and has some kinks. I think ProCare is a much better app for updates.

Please read if you're a parent considering this school!!…read more Today my newly diagnosed Level 1 autistic son was kicked out of The Goddard School in Roseville, and I'm honestly still trying to process it. I am heartbroken, angry, and deeply disappointed. My son is extremely high functioning. We have worked incredibly hard to support him -- I drive two hours twice a week to get him to occupational therapy, he will be receiving ABA support, and we've put countless hours into helping him thrive. Because of that work, he doesn't even qualify for speech therapy. He is a bright, loving, energetic three-year-old who deserves patience and understanding like any other child. Instead, we were essentially told he could not stay unless we provided a full-time one-on-one aide ourselves -- something that would mean paying tuition while also paying privately for someone to supervise him all day. As a parent, there is nothing more painful than watching your child start forming friendships and getting comfortable somewhere, only to be pushed out because he needs a little extra support. If a school is not equipped or willing to support neurodivergent children, families deserve honesty about that from the beginning. It would save parents and children a tremendous amount of heartbreak. Right now my momma heart is just broken. My son deserves a community that sees his potential and supports him -- not one that shuts the door on him. If you're a parent of a neurodivergent or high energy child, walk the other way. Thank you for reading.

I have struggled to write a review for many years because there are not adequate words to summarize…read morethe amazing place that is Sunrise Montessori. We have had our two children attend this school for a cumulative 6.5 years from very tiny little guys until Kindergarten-ready. My only sadness is that they ever had to leave. Allow me to list some of the highlights: - SMS is a true montessori. The teachers, the curriculum and the materials are all original Montessori as Maria Montessori herself conceptualized it. Many places use the word, but few deliver. If you are familiar with the Maria Montessori approach you will be pleased by their faithful and educated execution of it. - The setting is like a garden of eden. The school is built in an old cottage-style home on acreage. The children garden and play outdoors under large shade trees. They have a lot of time outdoors digging and running and playing- which I think is such a beautiful way to spend a childhood. - The environment is unhurried and calm. In true montessori fashion the children are empowered to move through their day according to their needs. The (healthy fruits and veggies) snacks are prepared fresh each day by the staff and left at their height level where they can take breaks and eat as needed. The bathroom is the same. The "jobs" (which is montessori-speak for the activities) are self-directed at designated times. There is an ease to the outdoor time, the music time, the art time. When I pick up my son at the end of the day I wish I could spend my days there! It's a beautiful space and tone. - The teachers are among the kindest, brightest and most loving souls you will ever meet. They take the time to get to know your child and adapt to their needs and personality. They include the children in tasks all day long- the kids are so proud to be helpers! They appropriately hug them and sit with them and give special attention on hard days and it's really like a home away from home. You won't find their generosity of spirit anyplace else. They're truly one-of-a-kind. Any parent knows how much it means when your child's teachers seem to delight in them. - The school is incredibly professional. All the staff work hard at their jobs. Communication is prompt and courteous. We've never had any issues (over almost 7 years) with charges or anything else. Their directress Mrs Anne conducts business with integrity. Over time I've been able to observe the teachers in a variety of situations and they have all behaved as consummate professionals. - Academically this school hits it out of the park. If you know the Montessori method you know that it is child-led. The children are allowed to chose "jobs" (activities) as they want to. They have no idea they are learning! And yet, my children have both graduated from Preschool far ahead of grade level and more than prepared for Kindergarten. Somehow, without ever pushing them, the Montessori approach magically follows their interests. This results in children who not only know a great deal but also LOVE TO LEARN. Both my children have inquisitive minds and engage deeply in learning. With my older child this has persisted even several years later. It is something all his teachers notice- his insightful questions and unique engagement in the classroom. I give a lot of the credit to the Montessori method and this school. They think learning is FUN - This school creates citizens of the world. It emphasizes a well-rounded approach to life. Good nutrition, kindness, empathy, problem-resolution, emotional-regulation, communication, environmental consciousness, multiculturalism... the list goes on. These are all values of the school and it's staff and it shows. Bottom line- if you have the opportunity to have your child attend here- TAKE IT. This school is one of a kind.
