Montessori at the Park

The teachers and support staff at the school are amazing!  My daughter loves going here and she learns so much!!
I'll miss taking her here when she graduates

If you think it’s ok for all the teachers to gather together outside the play area talking while paying no attention to what kids are doing? Then this school is just right for you.   When I showed my concern about my kid eating sand while group of teachers were talking to MS Shahanaz who is the main teacher for pre school, her response was “ Your son had already eaten sand and teacher told him not to eat. It was just a left over in his mouth and I did not catch him eating it. It’s okay for teachers to gather together and talk and kids can eat sand, trust me it’s not poisonous and it won’t make them sick. I’m being little sensitive”. School has been open for long and we don’t care about what you have to say. Totally shocked. My kid had a big scratch on his forehead and didn’t get the ouch report. Told me none of them saw anything. The other time my kid was completely wet and his socks were missing while playing in the puddle while it was wet outside, they didn’t seem to care. She doesn’t think kids safety is top priority. Extremely arrogant. Wouldn’t like to listen and alway thinking about what to say next. I had to ask her to listen and then respond. I wonder what she teaches in her class with that attitude? If the kids or parents are being unreasonable then I’m all for teachers side but again it is not the case in this school.
Ms Roxy who is the director doesn’t seem to care about anything. Just sits in her office with no interaction with anyone. She knew my concerns and when I requested to pull off my kid, she was like “okay good luck with your new venture “. Please think twice before sending your kids to this school. There are tons of other schools around that area who not only care of the money but also your kids and you as a parent.
I’m glad I pulled him out.

My children have been at this school for over 5 years.  We have been very happy with the curriculum and staff.  Our children started at 5 mons and have been through kindergarten.  It is a high quality school!

Ours kids have been going to Montessori at the Park for almost a year and after touring several preschools this one by far was the most welcoming with the best play yard and curriculum. The teachers are patient, informative and kind. We&#39;ve seen tremendous growth in our 3 year old and my son is 2 and loves attending everyday. This school is the perfect place to send your child to learn and have fun. I believe in their philosophy and I have comfort in leaving my children there while I work.

We have been a MATP family for almost three years now. Both my kids started out in the infant room, my son at one year and my daughter at three months of age. Fast forward to today and my son is in their preschool program and my daughter is in the toddler room. We have absolutely loved our journey with this school and can only say amazing things about both the facility and the staff. The building is very secure with a fob key to enter and high fences around the outside area where the kids play. The activities planned for both the families and children are thoughtful and sweet, we have so many amazing pictures and memories from muffins with mom, donuts with dad, and the holiday gatherings. I cannot speak enough as to how caring and sweet all the teachers are. A huge shout out to the magical Ms. Afsoun who not only potty trained both my kids (and likely the entire school!), as well as Ms. Shaz for being a kind and patient teacher for my son. Also, Ms. Natalie has been a consistent rock for my son, we love the fun Yoga classes she provides each week to teach the kids to calm their bodies and minds. Also, big shout outs that Ms. Courtney, Ms. Tania, Ms. Jen, Ms. Lindsay, Ms. Kim, Ms. Grecia, Ms. Melanie and Ms. Yasmine --- All of these wonderful caregivers and educators have made our experience what it is today! We will sadly being wrapping up our journey with Montessori at the Park in order to go to a preschool closer to our home. We love this place so much, we have continued to commute out of the way for the last two years. I can honestly say that if we do not end up liking our new preschool, we will 100% be back! The only con I can think of is the parking lot. The spaces are on the smaller side while some cars are on the bigger side. We love you MATP!
