Parent Reviews
We absolutely love this school for so many reasons. Our son and daughter both went here and I feel like they are a huge advantage because of it. The Principal, Miss Jamie is so warm, kind, smart, and trustworthy-- you literally could not find a better person for this role. She is always coming up with fun ideas for the kids, parents, and her staff and she's a true leader. I think all of the teachers here are really great but especially my son's teachers Miss Emily and Miss Cari. Miss Emily has been at this school for (i can't remember exactly) but 15-20 years. She is totally professional and the BEST teacher. We feel so lucky to have her. Miss Cari was her assistant and I think she is in school to become an official teacher and we also think the world of her. She had cute inside jokes with our son and was always bringing a smile to his face. The school is clean, safe, organized and I always felt comfortable having our kids here. We will miss this school!
My children attended the school for 4+ years. We were fortunate enough to be able to skip the waitlist as we were moving from another Nobel Learning Community school in another state. My children had experience with 3 main teachers, two of whom were fantastic. The classrooms are set up with one main teacher who has to have Montessori certification and one assistant teacher who does not have to be certified in Montessori education. There is one classroom for toddlers (ages 2-3) and 6 other classrooms (ages 3-6/kindergarten). The upper classes have about 22 students/teacher+ assistant. I assume that each school is as good as the staff/teachers who work there. Children can start as young as 2 years old in room 1. The main teacher in room 1 Ms Rose was very patient, loving, and had everything under control. Other teacher in room 6, Ms Kat, was the best teacher I've ever met. She made sure that children were learning, came up with various aids/behavioral strategies when children were struggling and she is very dedicated to teaching. She was always busy teaching the children, working with them, and making sure they were learning. My other child who moved up from room one to another classroom had a less than desirable experience as he did not learn much in his upper class and we ended up transferring him (after addressing our concerns first with that teacher and then the principal) to room 6 and the amazing Ms Kat who brought him up to speed in less than 10 months! The principal, Ms Lila is a very lovely lady, knows everyone by name, and runs the school well. Her door is always open and she is always available to listen to concerns and answer questions as needed. The school organizes a few events during the year and it feels like the staff is putting a lot of effort into providing the children with nice learning environment. Overall, I'd recommend the school but make sure you are on top of what your child is learning.
