They paint a picture of this warm welcoming environment and we fell in love with the idea of Fraser but the reality was so disappointing. There is a huge lapse in communication from the administration, they do not communicate with each other or the parents. The teachers are amazing and lovely. There are people in positions who should not be there.

After many happy years at our previous school, many changes were made that put our daughter (and…read moreus) in an extremely difficult position - constant bullying, overcrowded classrooms, lack of admin support - so I'd been looking for a better option. We knew some staff who had left when things started to go south a few years earlier. So when we learned they were now at FWM, we made an appointment to visit. Long story short, within a few weeks we had transferred our daughter to Fraser Woods and are relieved to share that she is not only happy and healthy, she's thriving again! I'm not exaggerating when I say this school and the community that's in place here may have saved her life. Everyone she's connected with to-date - from the Head of School to other admins and staff, teachers, assistants, families and her schoolmates - has been unwaveringly supportive and helpful. To a person, they have been consistently honest, straightforward, kind, and have helped to guide our daughter out of a very serious episode of depression and anxiety. It's been years since she's been excited to go to school, but FWM made it happen again (as a middle schooler! I didn't think that was possible!). She's made some great friends from lovely families, and is excelling in sports and academics again. We are incredibly grateful to have been accepted so quickly and completely by this community, and to see our daughter rediscover the confident, happy kid she'd been before. While we haven't been at the school long, it's clear this is a great fit for her, and for our family. We cannot recommend Fraser Woods enough! Don't take my word for it though, go see for yourself and you'll understand why I feel this way.

Hi, so I wrote this review a year ago. I'm not sure what there is to talk about in private, and why…read moreyou're responding to this now? I don't feel comfortable talking privately with you. You like alter the truth to fit your narrative. I tried to respond to your response. Your establishment left me and my husband without childcare without any notice at all because you hire people with no manors or respect and it's not the first time that's been done to a family. But that is ok because rejection is protection. The same teacher I complained about was fired months after I complained about her for taunting another student, but I guess our son didn't deserve that same respect in your eyes.. or meet the criteria? I'm not sure but I stand on what I said. She kicked my son's cot with her foot while he was laying there right by his head and left eye. Also not perception, I watched it on Watch Me Grow. This establishment won't pull the audio that I asked for because it would validate what we already know. Your response is exceptionally telling and it proved my point. You're sorry for "my perception of how things happened?" It's not a perception, it's what happened: things I've documented, things my husband and I have seen/ heard walking in there. Please let's not go here. I have literal videos of me recording my son getting out of our car to start his day, and you can HEAR how the teachers are talking to these small children on the playground. I've heard staff talk horribly about parents, about how the children are dressed I could literally go on forever. And the ONLY reason my son continued to go there for as long as he did was because of his infant teacher, and the teacher he had right before he was asked to leave. You asked him to leave because we called out your staff, not because of his behavior, which is also very telling. Our boy is sweet, so to have a grown women tell staff members that she didn't want to have a 2 year old in her class when he wasn't even in her class yet "because the parents are crazy ?!?" he's done nothing to her is absolutely insane. If you never noticed when his teacher wasn't there I kept him home with me because I didn't trust any other staff, which was exhausting . Your turn over rate is high because you will continue to hire people that are not qualified because you want to pay bare minimum. This daycare is truly a parents worst nightmare. You will continue to back your staffs bad behavior. I wish all parents knew how these small children that cannot are talk are talked to and treated and that's also not perception it's just reality. The entire school is a soap opera, and the staff cry to the owner as soon as they are called out. My son goes to an amazing school now where all of the teachers are required to have an actual degree and have extensive Montessori training to help them thrive and where we are appreciated as parents and not gaslit into believing we are seeing and hearing things. We're valued for wanting our son to be treated like a human. So funny how we've never had a single issue at any other school (he's been to 1 other daycare after this and now an actual school) except HT then again we don't have to tell the teachers how to treat our child here, and are treated like family instead of dollar signs. But keep talking about families and kids in your group chat. Talking about children and their families is so unprofessional and shows how miserable the staff is within their own lives and we are not that way and it's not the kind of energy we'd want around our family anyway. Take care. Please don't respond me to again.

Everyone there is just absolutely lovely and such beautiful people. They have shown my children so much love and care. My daughter is a Velcro baby, meaning she's a literal baby koala. I can't thank Alexa, Rose, and Renee, in the infant room, enough for holding her when she wanted to be held, as long as she wanted. She then moved up to the waddler room, with new teachers, but they are as amazing as the infant room teachers. Sara, Susan, Chelsea, and Rebecca are literal angels. I just can't thank them enough for everything they've done for my daughter and us. They took such great care of her this past year. My son started in the toddler 2 room with Ms Mimi, Graciela, and Kristie. We absolutely love them! They're all such sweethearts! Ms Mimi is so good with the kids! She knows exactly how to take control of her class, which are all toddlers! Touché to her! Ms Mimi is also so loving and caring. I really couldn't have asked for a better school for my children. They've learned so much while being there and they've made such amazing friends and connections. I also love their security! It's gated, and you need a special passcode to enter the school. Although my children have only had the teachers listed above, everyone in that building is so friendly and welcoming. Ms Carmela is in charge of the toddler program, and she is just so amazing. She takes her time to meet families and hears any concerns you may have. If HCMS was on your list of schools to check out, go with it! You won't regret ever enrolling your kids there. It's a real Montessori school, filled with loving, hardworking, respectful teachers. You'll really see your children bloom into such smart, independent, loving, little people.

We were told that these were seasoned individuals with experience. Only after prodding, we received background info. Frequent short-notice schedule changes.

Superficial counselling keeping students busy and then not giving productive feedback. I blame Ingenius for the many rejections my high-performing high schooler received. From schools she should have gotten into or at least waitlisted. Ingenius provided wrong and lazy advice. We hired them thinking they could provide expertise we thought we didn't have ourselves. We were wrong. We would have been better off navigating the college prep and application process ourselves. Likely with better results. Very disappointing. Avoid Ingenius at all costs. Parents, trust your own process. We are figuring out legal action, to get our money back.
