Follows a traditional Montessori philosophy. Son flourished here with attitude that everyone is a friend and use of positive correction. Offer music and sign language, which my son loved. Art options and use of paints, clay etc is very limited and try to keep children little too clean for Pre-K (very controlled with play with 'messy media') Although good teacher/child ratio I found the one to one and supervision wanting at times. Some children got a lot more attention than others. However, overall impression was positive. Parents not encouraged to be involved at all except at open days or special invite events.
Some of the teachers are very good, particulary for the younger children, others are mediocre at best. Not a good school for our child, and I suspect not for yours.
The teachers are inconsistent and not striving to learn and implement positive discipline versus looking at changing their teaching formula and providing consistent discipline with a lean towards positive reinforcement.
Highly disappointing. Director should retire. No true guidance for children, no true commitment to teaching. Criticism towards your child and family is abundant. Very disrespectful. Not a real Montessori School but a gossip shop. Plan on quitting your job if you want your child there. If your child is curious, active and playful, he/she will be regarded as insane. (Happened to me).
