Inspire Kids Montessori Ahwatukee

We love inspire kids Montessori. It’s been a blessing finding them. Our son has been going there since he was 5 months old.

The school itself is good. My daughter (in the short time she’s been there) has opened up more, is now potty trained and a few other good things. However, giving them 3 stars because I hate the fact they took away providing lunches to the children. I don’t mind packing my child a lunch however, when you pay $270 a week for half day program where 2hrs is spent on nap time (1215-215), 2:30 pickup time, I would expect lunch to be provided. I understand the cost of goods and services have gone up, that’s everywhere but I think they should’ve cut costs elsewhere and not on lunches for the kids. The portions are very small so I cannot imagine that $270 a week isn’t enough to provide lunches. I also was under the impression (when I signed up) that $270 a week was going towards a healthy lunch, hence why the weekly fee was a lot more than other schools

We absolutely love Inspire and all of the teachers/staff at the school. I started my daughter there at 4 months and the care and fun they have within the infant room was felt from the start and still today. Even with separation anxiety kicking in these days, she still gets excited when she sees where she is each morning. We love how circle time, weekly lesson plans, daily play, and newsletters focus on their development. It is easy to check in/out, we get lots of daily check ins via the app, and can message with staff. The staff/teachers know all the kiddos well and all work well together. Although times are weird right now, it is still fun to talk to other parents at pick up and drop off, and see all the little friends greet each other. Parking is easy. Our daughter always returns well cared for, growing, and happy.

IKM is a wonderful place for our kid. We are confident that he's being treated with care and love. They provide updates and pictures during the day which gives us peace of mind that he's happy, safe, and taken care of. All the teachers and staff members know the kids and the families making a great environment for children!

Both my son and daughter had their preschool in the primary class of IKM. The teacher is super nice and experienced at helping kids to build good behaviors and intriguing their eager to learn and read. About 6 months after my kids went to the primary class, they started to read and they really loved reading. When my son graduated from IKM at 5 year old, his reading level is like a 1st grader. Both of my kids enjoyed the abundant activities throughout a school day. Most important is that they were really happy  everyday at school.
