On the one hand, they potty-trained my toddler son in a flash. On the other hand, over time the stifling Montessori “structure” and the attitudes of some of the ‘almost-certified-in-Montessori’ staff (read: minimal or no formal higher education in Early Childhood Development or Early Childhood Education) have nearly broken the spirit of my happy, bright, funny, imaginative, boundlessly energetic preschool boy. By the time he really manifested the signs of his stress: waking up at 4am and not being able to get back to sleep, finally having the vocabulary to recite back to me the harsh tones of some of the adult-speak reprimands that appear to have been directed at him — it was almost too late. I’m heartbroken that I had such faith in this system and particularly in these people. How many negative comments can an adult rattle off about a three-year-old? True educators are capable of working with children along the spectrum of physical/emotional development. I just hope I can get my sweet, bouncy little boy back. Next stop: Piaget-approach, Early Childhood Development-educated staff who are patient and kind. I want him to enjoy his childhood and enjoy learning.
Finding the right day care is a process and you have to set some criteria for your family. Honestly, you wont really know if a place is going to meet your family’s needs unless you know someone that sends their children to the same place, you trust his/her opinion, and if your goals for early childhood education (age 1-3) are similar. While you don’t know me, you can know my criteria: a caring environment that is warm, friendly, and structured; a Montessori program that allows my child to explore the world naturally; and an place where diversity is embedded in staff and student body. Added bonus for a place that is close to home. For our family, SNS gets 5 stars in all of those categories. We are so happy with SNS and the environment our son is growing in- highly recommend!
St Nicholas used to be a great school when we first joined. However, the quality has gone down the drain in the past few months since they are moving away from the med center into a new campus in 2018. It feels like the school does nothing to maintain its current campus even when there are obvious health and safety risks to the kids. We miss how St Nicholas used to be. (Attached pictures of cuts and severe bug bites on our daughter from the school. Also attaching a leaky pipe dripping directly into the school yard where kids play.)
