Happy Tots Montessori School

My kids attended this school and now my granddaughter attend this school. It was baught out by a new owner who made it into a Montessori school,. It’s an amazing and advanced program. My granddaughter is in pre-K and is reading already and learnes more than I could imagine. We have the best conversations over the anatomy, science, philosophy, and mathematics. I also have a wonderful relationship with the owner and the teacher. My granddaughter is both the easiest child to work with, but they didn’t give up on her and she has flourished as a whole person because of the communication and the sense of community in that school. Thank you Ms. Sandra and Mrs. Khan ❣️

If your looking for a place that cares about your child, this is not it. I had high hopes for this place since it was conveniently near me that I didn&#39;t even check any other preschools when looking. When I first came I explain that my son had never been to daycare and was being taken care of by my mom. I had just had a baby and I was in the process of potty training him as well. There was a lot of changes for him as he was started school. I admit it was hard for him to adjust and he acted out at times. But from the beginning I always felt like I was getting in trouble or they were judging me because he was a &#34;little hyper&#34; as mrs kahn said to me on his first day. I&#39;m sorry, isn&#39;t that a typical 3 year old? Guess not. Anyways, He only last 4 months with this place before they kicked him out! Not only did he have many changes at home that they assured us was the reason he was acting out. They also changed his teacher 3 times on him within 4 months. There was so many changes that he started to pee his pants often at school. It was very weird. I only really liked his first teacher Ms Angelica, she always updated me on him. I could talk to her when I dropped him off. I could tell her what to say to him to calm him down. I felt like she worked with me. I even asked her once if he would get kicked out because of his behavior and she said &#34;oh no I had another kid last year that was worse and he didn&#39;t get kicked out.&#34; WRONG. she was only his teacher for about a month and an half before he got another teacher. mrs Eileen. That&#39;s the change that made him start peeing his pants. It scared me because what was happening that was making him pee his pants all the time. I even had to bring double clothing. His mood also started to change.<br>Every morning he would ask to go to his grandmas house instead of school. And he started to have mood swings and would get really emotional at home. Ms Eileen started to send notes home on his behavior, my husband asked once if she could explain what happened so we can see how to correct it. It&#39;s really hard to correct something at home that is happing at school btw. No one ever scheduled a meeting still to see how we can change it. They never could give full details of anything! And Mrs Kahn would put in her little extra notes as if we were offending her by questioning  the teacher to explain what was happening. He also came home once with an extremely big bump on his head and when I asked Ms Angelica the next morning if she knew what happens she called Mrs Eileen who said she wasn&#39;t watching him and no one knew what happened. So this whole time I feel like they can tell me all the bad things my son does but they can not tell me what happens to his head?! He had mrs Eileen for another month or so and all of a sudden he gets moved up a class to mrs Roselle. With no notice or anything. No communication just changed teachers .. again. For a 3 year old I&#39;m sure this is alot of changes. The notes seemed to stop for a few weeks so I thought things were getting better. She even sent home a progress report that came back satisfactory on most expected for he didn&#39;t follow directions well. Ok he&#39;s 3. Then he got a behavioral note from her and then another one a day later. and then he gets a note he is kicked out. I get that my son may have been a little hyper and was acting out on all the changes but to send a note that he is kicked out with an attachment that says they try to do all they can before kicking a child out as far as having a meeting with the parents and going over things that would help before they get kicked out! Now that is a joke! Not one time did mrs Kahn call me, email me, set up a meeting. Ect. Nothing! Just got those notes and then a termination note. The termination letter that had someone else&#39;s kids name on it on parts of the letters. (You could of proof read your template before you printed it and gave it to us!) in the end I never did fully like this place and I had doubts about it from the start. But again it was convenient for me. I should of went with my instincts and looked around. If you are looking for a daycare please make sure to do research and find a place you feel will be good for your child and will be compassionate and caring. If this is the place for you then so be it, but for me I rather pay my hard earned money to a place that will take good care of my child and will help in every way they can with any problems before kicking my poor 3 year old child out who living in a tiny body and is having these big emotions that he doesn&#39;t know how to express. <br>I also notice he continually would tell me sorry for no reason and he was playing with toy cars saying &#34;oh this boy is so hyper&#34; I&#39;m 10000% sure they were telling him that there! What else were they saying or doing! <br>BOTTOM LINE<br>MRS KHAN AND HER STAFF ARE ILL-EQUIPPED TO HANDLE A CHILD WHO CAN BE DISRUPTIVE OR &#34;HYPER&#34;! HE IS A 3 YEAR OLD WHO HAS NO UNDERSTAND OF WHY HE CAN NO LONGER SEE HIS FRIENDS!

We were so lucky to find this place. I have a 2 year old who has been coming here since she was a baby. I also have a 9month old that has been attending since she was 4 months old. The whole staff is so caring. The teacher to kid ratio is great!!! The school is kept very clean and safe. The curriculum this Montessori has is top notch. From her alphabets, numbers, colors, and so much more. The girls favorite activity had to be The Water Days they had during the summer! A huge shoutout to Ms.Karla, Ms.Maria, Ms.Kim, Ms.Angelica, Ms.Roselle, Ms. Alexcis, Ms.Eileen, and Ms.Esmeralda!!! The love and attention they show each child is priceless!!
