La Montessori Nurtury

This school has helped both my boys thrive and do their best in everything they do now. They take care of my boys as if they are one of their own, they have always treated me with respect as well as my family and friends. Their curriculum has helped my boys become independent and problem solvers. I am very thankful for them and what they have done for my family. Thank you all so much.

We sent both our kids here for about 4 years and were really happy with the care and learning they received. Ours kids loved their teachers and the managing team was helpful in navigating unique situations that came up. The curriculum and programming was thoughtful, empathetic, and age appropriate. Definitely recommend!

There are a number of issues with this school.

-no structure/schedule: kids need structure and schedule to be able to transition well from activity to activity. The schedule here was all over the place. The kids ate lunch at different times every day. Some kids might be ok with no structure, but if your kid needs it to do well, don't send your kid here.

-bad communication: teachers are not allowed to talk to parents directly. All conversations go through the managers, so info often gets lost or censored. My child had a speech delay, and I tried to provide tips to teachers about how to handle this delay and encourage better speech. I think a lot of my tips weren't even passed on to teachers, which led to continued delay for my child.

-significant teacher turnover: in one year my son's classroom had three new lead teachers. This center is unable to retain good teachers and therefore has significant turnover.

-no discipline, leading to dangerous situations: I offered suggestions to the managers on how to help keep my busy child in check. They refused to try timeouts even though that's what worked well at home. Due to lack of discipline, my son cut his finger on a pop can on a counter (not sure why a teacher had a sharp object in reach of children), was able to open doors and leave his classroom, and was opening emergency exits. These are issues that never occur at home, and certainly don't occur at his new school. This is an issue unique to this school's complete lack of discipline and structure.

-lack of teaching: my son left this school at the age of 3. At his new school, I was told he was behind on colors and numbers. In the time since leaving this center, I can see that my child is learning so much more in a structured classroom.  I understand that structured learning goes against the Montessori theories, but I don't think this center did much of any teaching. It felt to me like just glorified babysitting and not a school. This was especially apparent with my son's delayed speech. I saw significant growth in speech after leaving this school because teachers actually put in effort to teach him.

-closings: for a working parent, having daycare closed for two whole weeks at Christmas was very difficult to manage every year.

If you want not only you but your family to be disrespected this is the place to go. I have never seen staff this disrespect to their clients before. Save yourself the money & headache go to frog hollow or sprout!

We have sent our son to La Montessori Nurtury since he was 12 weeks old and have loved it. We love the Montessori curriculum and even more, love how everyone loves our son. He is so well cared for here and couldn't have asked for a better daycare. Highly, highly recommend!
