Atlantic Montessori Academy

My daughter has been going here since she was 1.5 years old and we couldn't be happier
Ms. Nicole is an awesome teacher and we really love her
I am not sure what may be the reason for the negative reviews below, but what I know for sure is that my daughter doesn't want to leave the school when we pick her up

Best Montessori school in the area. My son went here for almost 4 years and loved it. He had many favorite teachers who all loved him as their own. Their daycare, VPK and summer camp options are great. Because they are so awesome they have a lottery for VPK to KG and my son was unfortunately not selected. We were very disappointed but it the end it was the right choice to change to our local school only 5 min walk from our house. We will surely miss the staff and school here and hope to return next summer for camp. This is a great place for English and Spanish speaking children but they welcome and have a huge diversity of children. My son definitely evolved and developed well here.

We had the most awful experience at this school. Entirely too many bad experiences to write about in the year we were there, so I will just name a few. On the first day of school, they changed my daughter’s teacher without notifying me of anything. I accidentally found out when I arrived to pick her up that day. They regularly miscommunicated information. The final straw was when I watched as the teacher taught my kindergarten daughter incorrect information. My daughter HATED going to school while she was there. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

Best place my kids have been, they  care for your kids , this people opened up their doors to first responders during the pandemic, they follow the protocols never had any outbreaks, my kids have been healthier than they were at their other school, constantly sick not in this one. They keep it clean. My kids love going to school each morning and for a parent that’s the best feeling. Bravo to our school hero’s for stepping up and caring for the little ones.

The school gets a 1 star review as there is no way to mark 0 star.
I chose the school and trusted it with my most precious gift.... my 4 year old daughter. I regret this choice as it was a school that did not offer my daughter the love and respect all children deserve.

Our experience: My daughter was under constant threats ( they would tell her that I would not be back to pick her up if she did not stop crying). She was verbally abused: I personally observed this  along side the director and owner Mr. Garcia (who had no way of justifying this behavior). We saw how one for her teachers yelled at her in a loud and threatening form to go to the bathroom  (when my daughter said she did not have to go); my daughter was terrified and crying.

I reported this issue and the school to the Department of Children  and Families (DCF), so they could investigate.
As if this wasn’t enough, I later received a call from MRs. Garcia owner, wife of Mr. Garcia (as she introduced herself) in a loud threatening voice telling me that I was prohibited from talking to any parents at the school. If this is the way the directives treat other adults (who are able to speak up and fend for ourselves) how do they treat the children whom can’t do so and will just be afraid of that adult figure.
PLEASE LOOK FOR ANOTHER OPTION

My little one attended this academy for 3 years. I am happy I found a place with staff that cares for the kids. The teachers are well prepared, are loving yet firm and teach the kids so much. My little one was reading when he was 3yo; their support on my child&#39;s development was key for this achievement.<br>Their principal is kind, involved, professional and has his heart invested in third business.<br>The front desk attendant is friendly and communicative.<br>I have nothing but love for this academy.

This is a greta school. The teachers are warm and seem to genuinely care fir the kids. I definitely would recommend.
