Gateway Montessori School

Wow, the other review surprises me.  While we have not tried the infant room, we have been there for two years 2014-2017 for our daughter and now we are in the 2nd year for our son in the Primary classroom.  Teachers are engaged, professional, and friendly.  The room is immaculate and it is a loving environment.  It appears to be a true Montessori as compared to a big name one in the area that seems to push a very academic curriculum.  We have never encountered any issues.  We have moved and now drive approximately 20 minutes to continue our relationship with this school, passing another Montessori that is probably just fine.

Gateway Montessori School is definitely overrated and and uses its brand name to attract parents. In fact, both of my kids were there last year (infant and then toddler) and I can tell you that the infant room is not managed properly: Babies were sleeping in their car seats, accidents not reported properly, management is not present. While the price is very expensive (the most expensive in the area: between $1,500 and $1,700), it doesn&#39;t include lunch and snacks and several request to bring food or supplies are made on a monthly basis. Also the head of school is probably not experienced enough to manage the school. In fact, she seems overwhelmed with everything which happens in the school (she closes the school all the time rather than thinking through the issues). Staffs called themselves teachers while they take naps on the floor or look at their email all day. I left gateway few months ago and would definitely not recommend. There is cheaper and better service quality around in troy or royal oak. To avoid!!
