Meadowbrook Montessori School

Meadowbrook has been extremely fundamental in the growth and development of my child.nI love how they honor family and community and the educators tend to my child with the utmost compassion and presence.nWe love medadowbrook.

When expressing a concern I had about one of the so called teachers the director Barbara did not once try to reassure me that my child is in great hands or even try to make me feel like she cares about what I’m saying. Instead she made excuses for her so called teacher. My child had some issues following directions. I explained that this is her first time in a school setting and will take time. Instead Barbara said based on today she won’t be able to move on in August, which is 6 months from now. Not once did she reassure me that they will continue to work with her to see how she progress. Her responses were very disconnected and cold. When my mother asked what is the background in childhood development of one of the so called teachers, Barbara did not answer and said that no matter what she says I’m still going to be upset. I was more sad and disappointed than upset. Instead she asked if I want to take my child out of the school because of our “tone” and we seemed “hostile” because my mother and I continued to ask more questions about this “teacher” and I became tearful. She dismissed my child from Montessori with no explanation or reasoning. Then followed us outside to apologize which wasn’t sincere at all and felt very antagonizing. Barbara pretends to care to get you in the door but is more concerned about money it seems.nnThey also have a carpool at the end of the day which is very rushed and chaotic. I’m is not safe for toddlers to stand outside with moving cars. Then when your child gets in the car, they want you to pull over to the side to buckle them in. While in line I saw my child walking to a car with another girl then someone came for her. I got out my car and got her. Why can’t parents just go inside?nnIf you want a school that is going to hear and respect your concerns, who is willing to work with a child who seems difficult at first, that has experienced educated teachers and a director who is genuinely a nice person then CONSIDER ANOTHER SCHOOL!

The teachers were kind and the parents were were very engaged. We would have loved to have our son there another year. Unfortunately, the experience with the owner was not so positive which was highly disappointing and pretty unprofessional in the end.

This school has loving & caring teachers that help to encourage learning and building friendships. These kids are not just learning the A.B.C's and 1,2,3's; my child is reading and doing math at an early age!!! Awesome school!

I'm so relieved that I found this place. At 18 months, my daughter has developed skills well surpassing that of 3 year olds. Even more, she is consistently in a loving, nurturing environment and I do not worry, with her small class size, that she is ever lost in the mix. She LOVES her teachers and classmates. I could not ask for anything more!
