Bright Kids Montessori Academy

They could do a better job communicating with the parents. Teachers look like they just roll out of bed and come to work. I would ask each day how my son did in school, and it was always the same answer as the last &#34;he did good, he&#39;s doing good, he&#39;s good.&#34; Never any individualized answer about his progress or transition from home to school or brief overview of the class activities. When I tried to inquire more, they&#39;d just say he&#39;s doing good. <br><br>Also, no memo on parent orientation. No paperwork given regarding first day of school, overview of class activities, class menus, class field trips (if any), no syllabus or expectations from parents.<br><br>My son didn&#39;t seem to learn much from this school. He would say that the teachers let him run and play a lot. I brought him here for roughly 2 weeks. Not really any change detected (my son is very verbal and social). They had him trace his name probably one time...and nothing else after that. I&#39;d ask if there was homework, but nothing. Maybe because my 4 year old was in the 7:30-11am program, and not much structure could happen in a short time, but I still feel that my son could have learned more.

My boys are (4 &amp; 5) and started summer school here at Bright Kids Montessori and they LIKE IT! The school is located inside a church but they assured me that they were not affiliated with them at all. Teachers are young but very nice and attentive. The place has a lot to do inside plus the outdoors is spacey too. I&#39;m glad I found this place in El Monte. Keeping my kids cool and busy is the plan this summer! (:
