Carolyn Barron Montessori School

You won't find a more loving environment for your child to fall in love with learning!

My daughters have the most amazing individualized education!

My son has been at this school for 7 years. He has thrived and become the person I knew he could be. I am grateful for the people that have worked with him to make his experience great and help him grow academically and emotionally. He is a confident and brilliant child.

We love this school! After three years we are still continually amazed at the quality of education our son is receiving. His teachers are knowledgeable and caring - and highly qualified!

This is an exceptional school. It has a committed, highly educated, and very experienced board of directors at the helm. They are supported by a director with decades of experience and a proven track record. The staff and teachers are very experienced and passionate about the students. All these factors coupled with an intense focus on the Montessori method and the joy of learning promote an excellent learning environment. Our children, as well as their peers, are far ahead of their private and public school counterparts. While other private schools are struggling and have shrinking enrollment, CBMS is quickly growing because results speak for themselves.

My grandson has been attending this school for 3 years. The Montessori teaching method provides an outstanding learning environment.  He started writing and sounding out words at 4 years old. The school is a community where all are welcomed, parent involvement is encouraged, and provides an outstanding education!!!

ConS: They  give great tours and promise you the world, but their follow through on their promises is weak. They struggle with communication. Upon asking for a meeting with the head of school, she refused, as I had not spoken with all of her subordinates first, even though I was paying almost $1000 per month for a glorified daycare. They spent most of their day outside, even in the hottest hours of the sun... in the dead of summer. I was highly disappointed with CBMS. They lack in diversity, and it is evident. I even wondered, at times, if race played a part in the &#34;issues&#34; they had with my two year olds behavior. They are not equipped to deal with any kind of transitional period for toddlers. I began getting calls to pick up my toddler two days after school began because he was crying at nap time, even though, Tracy told me that they were amazing with the kids and helping them transition. They were very supportive of my son having a bottle at nap time, and even said that they are willing to rock kids in the rocking chair, if a child is having a hard time at nap time. Then, once I paid the $800 non refundable registration fee and the contract, Tracy told me that rocking and bottles are not aligned with the Montessori way of creating independence. I would have appreciated it more, if they told me that when I was touring their facility, instead of trying to sell me on the dream, just to get the money. One of the &#34;issues&#34; was that my two year old would tap the teacher on the shoulder when he wanted her attention.... again, he&#39;s two. Their expectations are unrealistic. My child is not a robot, and he is an amazing kid because of that. CBMS is just not cut out for anyone who wants a positive, encouraging environment for their child. They don&#39;t even believe in saying &#34;good job&#34; or &#34;wow! That was great! I&#39;m proud of you&#34; to kids. I wish I had been warned about them, prior to paying so much to receive so little. We left before this point, but beware- at the 6 week mark, they can dismiss your child if you don&#39;t align with ALL of their beliefs and if your child hasn&#39;t adjusted to the Montessori way (which is apparently playing by themselves and napping on their own with no transitions). <br><br>Positive: The afternoon teacher, Bailey, was amazing! We loved her and her positive attitude and outlook. She always had a smile on her face, and the kids respond very well to her positive energy!
