Johns Creek Montessori School of Georgia

My daughter attended this school in year 2015-16. I rarely ever write reviews, but I think I should now since, the reason we left the school for has never been addressed. When my 3 year old first started at the school, everything seemed fine. Ms. Sarah was a great teacher, we loved her. They were doing Yoga in their free time, and she was kind but firm, just how you expect a Montessori teacher to be. My daughter had attended a Montessori school in Houston TX before this place, and thus, so far everything was resonating with our idea of Montessori. The food at this place is great, always fresh and never pre-packaged, partly because they add a Chef Advantage fee with tuition and the other half because they make parents do groceries for the class (yes, we did too). Now, after Ms. Sarah left (you never really know why?), her assistant was made the lead teacher. I have heard some horror stories about him, how he locks kids in bathrooms, argues with the kids and tells them he doesn't like them to their face. Fortunately for the kids, I recently heard that he left too.
Now, to the reason, we really left. One day at pickup, I saw the principal (she'd not seen me) yanking my little one's hand , "showing" her how to stand in a line properly. As would be expected, my 3 year old started crying as soon as she saw me. I was beyond upset. That day I started touring other schools. Within a week, we found a really nice school in Alpharetta and moved my daughter. The reason I write this review is for them to be aware that the concept of Montessori teaches kindness, not only how to queue up. Good luck to whoever still sends their kids to this school!

I highly recommend ‘Johns Creek Montessori School of Georgia’ to all the parents who are considering sending their kids to Montessori and are looking for a warm, caring and safe environment for their child. School’s staff is extremely passionate about what they do. Ms. Denise (Director) and Ms. Ash (Owner) personally pays attention to every child’s needs and to fulfill every parent’s expectations. My son is in Ms. Nadia's class and he truly adores her. She has done a wonderful job of building a strong foundation for our son. They truly care about every child enrolled in their school. JCMSG is an excellent school.

Enrolling our then 15-month-old at Johns Creek Montessori School of Georgia is one of the best things that's ever happened to our family!  As an educator myself, I was determined to find a place that would appreciate my child for exactly who she is and provide her with a safe and nourishing environment in which she could flourish.  After searching all over, Johns Creek Montessori is the one place that has met and exceeded our expectations!

Our daughter is now 20 months old, and her language and cognitive growth over the past five months has been phenomenal.  Even more importantly, she looks forward to school each morning, often even getting her backpack and waiting at the door until it's time to leave; I feel confident about her care while we're apart because I know that she feels respected and loved by all those she encounters.

The Director and Owner go above and beyond to care for our daughter and our entire family.  We love that they offer parenting workshops and strive to build a community not only between the children, but also between their families!

Thanks for all you do, Johns Creek Montessori!!

JCMSOG is a wonderful school.  Both of my boys attend and I could not be more pleased with the authentic Montessori teaching they are receiving.  The teachers are kind, and truly care for each and every student.  The Director and Owner are constantly adding new materials for the children to work with and both make you feel extremely comfortable with dropping your children off everyday.  As a working mother I am greatly concerned where my children spend their time while I am at work, and I rest easy knowing that my boys are in good hands with adults that love them.  Both boys are doing things that I would not even think to teach them at their age, but the classroom atmosphere encourages this growth at their own pace.  I would definitely recommend this school for your child!

We enrolled our daughter at Johns Creek Montessori School of Georgia after trying out 4 other schools.  Needless to say, we have VERY high expectations when it comes to the care and education of our daughter.  Johns Creek has exceeded every expectation we have.  We can't say enough good things about this place.  Ms. Ash and Ms. Denise are amazing administrators.  They have the school running so well and they allow the teachers to do what they do best: teach and nurture.  Our daughter is a member of the Peace community there and Ms. Valerie and the rest of the staff are so good with the children.  We are huge advocates of the Montessori method of child development and Johns Creek does it right.  My advise to anyone reading this review and looking for a school for their child- Call to set up a tour and speak with Ms. Denise.  Go talk to the teachers and observe the children in the classroom setting.  You will not be disappointed.  This place is great!

This school is better than the best. The staff is amazing. This school has a great learning environment. My son didnt know how to do things for himslefs and he is a three year old. Now he knows how to dress himself, knows how to eat and drink, and learned to share. What happpened to my kid is more than I expected in the good. My son changed in a month. Mom of the Alshammaris
