Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The teachers are very conscientious and handle any issues with respect for the child. They inform the parents daily on ongoing activities and everything that has happened.
Parent #2
This school has so much more to offer than any other school I toured. My daughter is very, very happy there. Before they opened, we had her at another preschool and I always felt so guilty leaving her. Now, I feel like I am doing the best things for her and I can see how happy she is throughout the day on the webcams. Even my mom in Michigan gets to see her everyday that she's at school. I am so impressed at all the things my daughter is learning, she is teaching me sign language. I couldn't be any happier (and I looked at a lot of schools)!

My daughter is in the classroom with the Montessori teacher trainer for the school and I think she does a great job.

The teachers are all excellent, respectful to the childs' needs, and are always open to address any subject with the parents. You can tell that they care about each child.
Discipline, Health and Safety
Discipline
| OVERALL RATING (5.0) |
|
| Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This location is only a year old so everything is new.
Parent #2
The facility is new and very clean. There are several class rooms, all based on Montessori principles. There are also two play yards, one for the older and one for the younger kids. I like the fact that they have webcams and I can check in on my toddler during the day to see what they are doing. There is also a keypad entry, so every parent has their code to enter the facility, which adds to the security of the place.
