Good teachers, at least the ones that haven’t left there yet because of the director. The lack of transparency and out right lies parents have been told by director Chris Miller especially this year has us making the easy choice to find somewhere new. At least with the current administration in place I wouldn’t consider this a place you want your child. This organization is required to make certain tax domenentation public as per their not for profit exempt status. The director refuses to produce any of this or even meet with concerned parents. I can’t even get an email returned. They have been reported to the IRS as of this week if that tells you anything.
Great teachers/ intolerable administration
Oh yeah, and lunch was provided by the directors daughter, who prepared who knows what who knows where, then fed it to kids while happily accepting payment. Zero oversight, no compliance. No health codes to worry about there or anything. The money given from parents towards supplies is another laugh. All supplies are locked away from teachers at all times. They can’t even access any of what is supposedly there.

My daughter transferred to Montessori of Elkhart this past Fall into their Pre Primary program as we felt she wasn’t getting the “full package” from another local Montessori affiliated school. What a difference and we are extremely happy we made the switch! Her confidence has skyrocketed and the staff goes above and beyond to make her (and our entire family) welcome! She has gained several friends this past year and always comes home laughing and smiling about the work they did that day. They even have events for the children outside of school hours that really excites them and offers an opportunity to see their friends (and parents to know one another and mingle). Montessori of Elkhart is very flexible with drop off, lunch, and pick up times. Please consider joining Montessori of Elkhart as they put their hearts and souls into these children’s lives. I know we are definitely planning to come back next school year for Kindergarten! ??

I wish we had known about this wonderful school when we were looking for a place to take our boys for a pre school early learning environment. Now being a working out of the home mom, I feel so good knowing that my daughter is being loved and cared for in the best way! Thank you to a wonderful team of educators for showing up 100% everyday and giving us such peace of mind with your nurturing and support! The last 3 years have been so amazing for our daughter being exposed to Montessori Method and so close to our home!
