My child has been attending the school for a year now and i have seen a lot of change. The concern is the director , I have notice she doesn't interact with the parents nor does she interact with the kids. i watch the cameras and not one time have i seen her in the classroom interacting with the children and that's not good at all. She is new and as a parent i want to trust the fact my child is be loved by all not just a few . It starts at the top. When i drop off in the morning she is sitting at the desk no hello or good morning to parents or kids. when i pick up still she is in the same spot . no goodbyes to parents or the kids. This is not good she has been there long enough now to know families but she will never know them if she does not interact with them!!!!

As an alumna of NCCS, I can confidently say the school not only prepared me academically for…read morecollege and adulthood, but genuinely equipped me for life. The teachers and staff cared deeply about their students and constantly went above and beyond to support, encourage, and challenge us. I'm incredibly grateful for the environment they created. I always felt pushed to do my best while also feeling known and valued as an individual. The faculty invested so much of themselves into their students, and it showed in everything from the classroom experience to the relationships they built with us personally. As an adult now, I realize and admire how much the school emphasized character, faith, leadership, and integrity alongside academics. The lessons I learned extended far beyond my time there. No school is perfect, but I can honestly say my experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I will always be thankful for the teachers, mentors, and friends who made those years so meaningful. This school gave me a strong foundation and prepared me well for the next stage of life.

The administration have all known each other for years, and will make excuses/ back each other up no matter what. They make examples out of children who make mistakes while taking no accountability themselves. I graduated a few years ago and after having several years of true adulthood under my belt, I have yet to meet a more hypocritical, graceless, judgmental, group of people (And I work in healthcare). A majority of teachers hired are personal friends or friends of friends, regardless of qualification. Teachers children/ children whose parents donate are favored and it's very apparent, speaking from experience. If your child does not fit their mold, they will be treated as they as lesser than. I graduated with my faith hanging on by a thread. There are a very small handful of teachers there who I think stay to try to make a difference. I owe them everything.

This school has been THE best school when it comes to attentiveness, warm welcomes, lots of smiles, cameras and app access to your child which makes you feel so much better when you're at work, school, etc. his teachers update you on the brightwheel app on every "potty", "nap", or "incident". Their communication is amazing! His infant teacher (lord, her name slipped my mind) was wonderful and the assistants with her in class. They would make crafts with their feet, toes, hands, fingers - it was heart warming getting to see these firsts from our first baby! And when he graduated to toddler his teacher Ms Katherine and her team in the room were exceptional! No complaints. Over communication on the app, in person as well, the other teachers and assistants when walking to his classroom would say my son's name and welcome him in. I mean, seriously. This is why I'm so sad that he can't attend this school. I would like to add, the Director Samantha and Ms Catherine were sooooo amazing!!! If my son was sick Ms Samantha would calmly speak with me and say that he would have to be picked up because he did not feel well (or whatever the case may be) and her tone, the warmth and her being calm when I would tell her that I worked an hour away would make me feel that my child is safe and in a great environment. Love the staff, the owners, the teachers, the assistants, everyone. Including the parents that were all so kind. Ms Cathie (Director) told me during my first week of dropping my son off that he is great hands and if I had any hesitations to call her. By week 2/3 she saw me and stopped me and said "I am so proud of you", I literally started crying in my car. Being a mom and dropping him off in a place that was new to me, I did not know any of the teachers and then to have her say that to me really made me feel comfortable and at ease. I appreciate everything and I mean EVERYTHING this school has offered to my little family. We will miss everyone, the kids included. On my son's last day his teacher made him a canvas with all of his friends fingerprints including hers. Lordt! I started crying, again! lol. This school is it. Please open more schools throughout Georgia!!!! We need more of this everywhere. LASTLY, ontop of everything I mentioned above, they are Christian. I mean, the most perfect school. Thank you Mt. Elizabeth, we will miss you dearly!

I have a 2 year old and 5 year old at SMS. My 5 year old has been attending since he was 3 and the…read moreschool opened. We were planning on homeschooling but I still wanted our kids to start with some school environment experience. Smyrna Montessori School was everything we were looking for. My children get lots of individual attention, are encouraged to explore and learn as much as they want and have had some wonderful friendships develop. There is a strong sense of respect modeled through kindness towards the teachers, classmates, learning materials and the world (cultures, the environment). The teachers love my children like they were their own and are passionate about the Montessori style of learning. Both of my children have gained a lot of confidence and independence since they began there. If I ever have a question I can set up a time to talk with any teacher. I'm always impressed with how aware they are of everything my child deals with on a daily basis, what their strengths are, how much progress they have made in areas of behavior, character and learning. I do wish they extended beyond the Primary program (3-6 years). I don't think there is any problem with illness any different than any other school environment. I don't love that the lead toddler teacher spot has changed hands a few times, but I understand that when a teacher has a baby she will want to take time to be with her new baby. This has been the only reason for teachers leaving that I am aware of. Those teachers have stayed in contact with the school and return for visits when possible. We feel very fortunate to be at Smyrna Montessori School and are so happy it opened at the perfect time for our kids. And as far as safety goes, our children are referred to as precious gifts, children are not allowed out of the classroom unless a teacher or parent is with them and the school and yard are secured during the day. I have no concern for my children's safety at all. Montessori is a different approach to learning than what a lot of people are used to, but for us it has been perfect. Oh, and I LOVE that I get an email and photos every week from each of my kids teachers touching on what the kids are working on and enjoying and some explanation about the Montessori process.

When your five-year-old can tell you about the parts of the brain, or name all of the continents, you know they are learning more than they would in any daycare facility.

There is not much turnover, which was a huge selling point when we transferred to Brookstone Montessori. My kids have been sick less and cared for more, and there isn't the daycare drama that comes with this facility. It is nice to know that they are cared for in an academic sense, but they are also learning practical life skills. My youngest amazes me each day with the new things she comes home telling me.

My child was always safe and well looked after but also given independence that was suitable for a 5 year old. She had a decent class size of 20 and two awesome teachers. All three directors were such a joy to work with and communicate with. Breakfast, snack and lunch were provided daily (through Georgia Pre-k program) and I was very thankful she received such health meals and portions. A full menu was listed every single month to view in the lobby. She learned more than I expected and during her kindergarten assessment, the teachers were impressed. She did plenty of hands-on learning in different "centers", play time outside, daily naps (or quiet time if she couldn't nap), and she did so well with the routine. The center itself had safety protocols in place, each parent had passcodes assigned to the to enter the building, and we also used an app to communicate with all staff and teachers. I received daily photos of what my child was working on or participating in. The center was clean, bright, welcoming. They held different events throughout the year where families could attend and enjoy with the staff (I loved being able to be involved!). They also held curriculum nights to learn more about what the children were doing and learning in class. They had plenty of theme days and really kept things "fun" for the families and parents. Even "Muffins with Mom" or "breakfast on the go". Directors Lisa, Leslie and Cheryl were absolutely wonderful. All staff members I came in contact with were always loving, caring, professional. I am truly so thankful we had a great experience and that my child was always safe. We love and appreciate the Laugh and Learn team!
