This review comes a year after our experience. I hope parents who are currently considering this…read moreschool will take a few minutes to read about our child's journey and our family's experience here. If I had to summarize my message in one sentence, it would be：if your child is not a "perfect" student, this school may not be the right place for them. My child enrolled in this school at 3 years old. A few months later, it became clear that he had a speech delay. He struggled to express his thoughts and often could not follow classroom instructions the way teachers expected. Over time, the teachers appeared to lose patience with him. Without professional support to help him regulate his emotions, he eventually reacted in distress and once hit his head against a teacher. After receiving warnings and going through an observation period, we made the difficult decision to leave the school. When we first received warnings, we repeatedly apologized to the school. We believed our child was the "imperfect" one who was making the teachers' jobs more difficult and adding extra burden to their work. However, about two months after, we noticed he had developed a habit of biting his nails. I don't know exactly what he experienced during the school day, but our pediatrician later confirmed that his nail biting behavior like this is often a sign of stress and anxiety. After we signed an agreement with the school stating that another warning could result in him being required to stay home, I discovered one day that he had bitten his fingers until they bled while at school. The next day, we withdrew him immediately and began looking for another school. Thankfully, the teachers at his new school have been incredibly patient. With their support and our work at home, it took nearly a full year to help him overcome the nail-biting behavior. Three months of anxiety took us a year to repair. Several friends' children enrolled around the same time as mine. Over time, all of us chose to withdraw our children within a similar period. I won't go into detail about other families' experiences here, but it became clear to us that this school has very little patience for children who are not "perfect." This did not seem to be an issue with just any individual teacher, but rather something reflected in the school's overall philosophy and management. It also did not reflect the level of inclusion and respect for children's individual development that the Montessori philosophy emphasizes. Each classroom has a lead teacher and an assistant teacher. However, it often seemed that assistant teachers were discouraged from spending extra time supporting children who needed more help, I guess it might because that would indirectly increase the lead teacher's workload. At the same time, the school does not appear to have sufficient staffing to support a more inclusive learning environment. Over time, this can result in children who need extra patience receiving less support -- for example, parents being asked to pick up a child for something as minor as a runny nose, or receiving warnings for small moments of difficulty following instructions. In the end, I sincerely hope every child finds a school that truly fits them. And I hope this school will continue to grow and become a more supportive place for children in the future.

One of the biggest advantages was how easy the appointment process was. Having a scheduled time made everything feel smooth and efficient. The clerk who assisted us was friendly, helpful, and made the experience feel welcoming rather than transactional. The setting itself was a pleasant surprise--the scenery created an atmosphere that felt much more elevated than expected and made the moment feel like a much larger wedding. It also provided a great backdrop for photos, which was important to us. All of the necessary information was clearly outlined on the website ahead of time, which made planning straightforward and stress-free. And from a value standpoint, it's hard to beat--it truly felt like a $20,000 wedding experience for just $89. Everything was organized well, which helped the day run seamlessly. There were a couple of minor drawbacks. It can get crowded, especially with multiple parties scheduled around similar times. While the website notes a maximum of 20 guests, it's possible to have more if you're outside--but that can make the space feel tight and limit photo opportunities. Overall, it's a beautiful, efficient, and cost-effective option that still delivers a memorable experience. A great choice for couples looking for something intimate without sacrificing the feeling of a special occasion.
