The focus on love and joy is shared with each student. My children formed lifetime friends. I couldn't ask for a better home away from home.

As a child I attended Beech Tree and overall I loved it there. But I was a child. Yes, I was…read moreassisted and taught very well and to an advanced degree compared to other leading schools in the region. I was given great opportunities here, and the majority of the teachers were great. But, there were times when things got kind of dark and questionable. There were several times that I was beat with a paddle behind a closed door. I have a broken memory of being paddled and humiliated as 'an example'. In front of other children. I don't know if it was just me, but there was a teacher who would pinch me really hard on a daily basis. This was all for no reason. I was an extremely well behaved child and never looked for any trouble. There were two extremely misbehaved and loud mouthed boys that liked to blame things on me and while Beech Tree knew that I was innocent, they knew I wouldn't be loud about said punishments like the above-mentioned boys would be. I was quiet, and was good friends with Miss Heidi's family. But I am a man now and I honestly do not care what becomes of this review. I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and ADHD in my first grade year, and towards the end of that school year my family was told that I could no longer attend Beech Tree. This was years ago, and I'm sure things are different now, but there were other things that were allowed to happen that I haven't mentioned, and I'm sure there always will be no matter where you send your children. But this place has a far from blameless history.

After having a bad experience with a daycare for my son who is now 4 I was very hesitant to put my…read moreson back into daycare. My Second Home has provided my son with a caring, stimulate, stable, educational, and a happy clean environment. It's an amazing feeling to be completely comfortable when sending your kids to school. They hire qualified caregivers that really do care. I started taking my som there when he was about 5 month old. My sons educational is very important to me. My son has learned and will continue to learn so much. My Second Home has truly been a blessing for me and my son. He loves going to school and he loves all of his teachers. You will not regret taking your kids here. I highly highly highly recommend My Second Home.

While the facility is clean and curriculum seems to be on track, there is no passion for care at…read morethis facility. When issues were discussed there was no resolve or interest to do better for the safety of the children. There is a strong lack of communication between the owners and the classroom teachers. Business owners are alarmingly defensive when discussing issues and would rather lose your child as a student than work towards a better plan. Teachers are blasé and have no real passion for working with kids. I've been to child care facilities before where the teachers treat the children as their own and you can literally see the joy on their face when they're playing together. This facility lacks that joy.

I have even moved out of county and drive out of my way to drop my kiddos off before I head to work. I trust them fully with my girls. I definitely recommend this facility!

Our son just graduated from the STEM Pre-K program at CYC this past year. We were never less than…read morepleased with the quality of his care. His lead and assistant teachers were consistent throughout the year (no constant turnover and drama like we experienced at his previous center). The classrooms were spacious and well-equipped, and also serves as an instructional center for IUPUI students studying early education. We especially liked the STEM program as the class progressed through multi-week thematic units based on the children's current interests (e.g. simple machines, dinosaurs, castles, camping). Students use a blend of technology and tactile materials and toys, and our son was even able to read and comprehend short stories before leaving for kindergarten. There are a number of ways for parents to get involved as the classrooms go on numerous field trips and the center hosts family events and open houses. Class updates and pictures are provided via the Tadpoles app throughout the week. Parent conferences are held twice a year. The center is professionally managed by IUPUI and a friendly, new, hands-on director was just hired in spring of 2019. We would recommend the center to anyone working, studying, or living in the downtown area.

Her love for not only the children but her job shows in her everyday. My son has learned so much being with her and it makes me happy seeing him excited to go. i used to watch the camera like a hawk, but since moving to her class i barely have to check it now. i know when he's there, he's safe and very much loved. When it's time to leave, he makes sure to tell everyone bye and "love you". Thank you for all your hard work and all you do

When we walk in the door every morning, the positive energy is just exploding and the welcome from each and every employee is the best way to start our day. My son loves the teachers and thoroughly enjoys this facility. We toured several daycares when we were pregnant and found only two that we would even consider sending our child. I love that there are no screens for the kids, they have dedicated outdoor time everyday when the weather is nice, and there are cameras in the rooms for parents to peak in on their kids during the day. I never feel like we need the camera to make sure he's being treated correctly, but being able to see him playing and interacting with the other kids brings a lot of joy. The teachers send a daily report and there are nearly always photos. I'm so thankful we found such a wonderful place to provide childcare.

This system has instilled so much confidence, care, and creativity in my child that it is beautiful to watch as a parent. The teachers there are also so gentle and nurturing, I couldn't be more pleased. I'm glad we have a Montessori in our neighborhood, and my child had the privilege to attend. Enrolling my child in Center Grove Montessori must have been one of the best decisions we've made so far. I highly recommend Center Grove Montessori to every parent to help blossom their little geniuses into independently confident, mature, and conscious youths of tomorrow.
