Very disappointed in this school. Awful communication. I went to the first open house of the year on 9/12/19, and finally felt after touring many options in the area that this was the best school for my son. I was so relieved and excited. I spoke with Tom, head of school who gave the tour, after the open house, and was told there were some immediate openings for the classroom my son would need, but was reminded things can change daily. I completely understand this. I filled out the application and brought my $100 check the same day. In the open house we were explained the application process and was told from open house to start the quickest things could move would be approx 2 weeks. Tom gave the example of, if you apply today (Thurs) you’d hear from me by Mon or Tues about setting up an observation day for the following week. But of course, nothing can move forward without the $100 check. So I applied Thursday 9/12/19, my check was cashed 9/13/19. Myself and my husband have combined called 4 times asking for a call back or an update, leaving messages on Tom’s voicemail and with the secretary. Today is 10/20/19, and we have yet to receive any call or email back. If the spot is full, no problem, but an update or call back is not asking for too much. There are limited options for quality schools in the area and as a parent wanting the best for their children you don’t want to write a review like this because you know you will no longer be getting into the private Christian Montessori school. We’ve accepted this but I would still like a call back from one of the Board of Directors. I expected better.

We switched to Christian Montessori School after my children were not getting the support they needed at a local Goddard. Since we’ve switched I’ve seen a drastic positive change in my pre-K son’s behavior. He’s also reading and doing 1st grade level math after showing an interest in them. My 3 year old daughter has shown so much progress in her independence (from getting her own snacks, using the restroom herself, washing her hands, dressing herself, and her vocabulary) and she loves the singing, reading, dancing, and outdoor time. The school is truly a community where I feel my children are being well cared for. It’s clear the teachers are dedicated to their community and children as the lead teachers have been there for over a decade. With COVID, the school was closed for a bit while they figured out how to create a Montessori environment during this crazy time. They have done it right, and I’m so grateful my children’s health and safety as well as the teachers are top priority. I’m glad we switched and wish we had done it sooner. Highly recommend!!!
