Greystone House cares more about your MONEY than your child. When a family chooses to send their child to a Montessori school, they have decided, to pay a premium price, usually through family financial sacrifice, in order to give their children better education and care. My children went to GH for almost 6 years and we enjoyed the earlier years more than the later years. Towards the end of our time there, I realized that my Pre-K child was having trouble learning the alphabet and instead of giving my child the extra attention needed, the teacher started sending my almost 6 year old child to afternoon nap time so that she didn’t have to be bothered with teaching (my child had not been napping for approximately a year prior to this). My husband and I objected to this repeatedly with the teacher since my child was too old for naps and it was greatly disrupting the nightly sleep schedule (my child wanted to stay up until almost 11 pm instead of going to sleep at the normal 8 pm bedtime). When we could not get anywhere with the teacher, we escalated our issue to the administrator. When we adamantly objected to this with the office staff/administrator, we were sent a letter informing us to no longer bring our child to GH. So, after spending > $90,000 with them over the course of 6 years and with only 4 days to go before our child’s scheduled last day, they left us in the lurch for daycare without notice. And, sadly, this also left my child without the ability to say goodbye to friends or to even to have a Last Day there. For many weeks afterwards, my sweet and sensitive child would ask to be able to say goodbye to friends and teachers, clearly feeling a sense of loss and concern that they wouldn’t understand why my child abruptly stopped going to school there.
My child’s teacher was also very unprofessional on several occasions, but most notably so regarding my child’s medical history. My child had developed a skin condition while there. Even though we had told the teacher several times that it wasn’t contagious, she put so much attention on this skin condition, discussing it on a regular basis with my child and in front of other children, that other children started calling my child “nicknames” based on this which was concerning to me. We got a doctor’s note that stated there was no concern with my child attending daycare and asked the teacher to no longer discuss this with the child, the teacher made snide remarks that the dr’s note did not give more details about the skin condition my child was diagnosed with and per her emailed reply, it also seemed that she had at least one more review/discussion of the skin condition with the child against my wishes.
The only reason I am not giving a 1 Star Review is because the infant teachers are good with babies and we had no issues at that time. Some of the Toddler teachers were good as well, but the really good ones did not stay there long.
But, in terms of curriculum and education/teaching, I agree with another review that this was below expectations. My child learned more in one month of public school Kindergarten than in all the 12 months prior at GH.

My son stayed at this daycare for one and half year.the last four month i was struggle if i need pull him out. until one day he is crying and said his teacher is mean.This daycare has problem on their Primary Directresses. they maybe worked there too long, then lack of caring heart.It normally takes parents 2,3 weeks before they figure out that kid got mistreated at daycare. prepare that directress will not tell you anything, and will mislead you to wrong direction.As if she did everything correct.
My wife once worried about my son autism,but before he entered this daycare,he laughs,talks perfect normal.1 month he after goes to other daycare, his smile and confidence seems back. Nothing better than parents see their kid smile after whole days work.
Almost all strangle behavior you can trace comes from somewhere, but we don’t want to know daycare treat some kids better than others, because there are kids belongs to their own teacher. After months I still hate myself didn’t pull him out earlier.
Most younger teacher there are very nice. Adminidtrators are also okay, but kids are with directress all the time. Daycare held 1 month deposit, which i found very bad if you want to pull your child out.
After 2 months when we passed by this daycare, my son still says this ex-daycare is bad. I just try to drive around it, so he will never sees again.

My two children attended Greystone house for a combined total of ten years, both concluding their time there after graduating from Greystone’s kindergarten program. This school has a loving and caring environment for the children. Children are treated with a great deal of respect from infancy. The staff are all extremely positive and warm to each and every child. The curriculum is excellent; both of my children entered first grade at public school with skill levels far above what is required in all subjects. The environment in the school encourages a love of learning and respect for others that my children will carry with them throughout their lives. I couldn’t have asked for a better school or teachers to be my children’s first educational experience.
