Odyssey Montessori Child Care Center

Three of my children attended Odyssey Montessori and spent multiple years there, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Antonio, the owner, is one of the most personable and genuine people you’ll meet. He’s always friendly, incredibly transparent, and keeps parents fully informed about daily activities and anything happening with the kids. We always knew that if we ever had a concern — which we never did — we could go straight to him without hesitation. The staff he’s built around the school is truly top‑notch. Every teacher we encountered was caring, professional, and deeply invested in the children’s growth. Our kids thrived here, and we always felt confident they were in the best hands. I would recommend Odyssey Montessori to anyone and everyone looking for a nurturing, trustworthy, and high‑quality school environment. It’s been a wonderful place for our family.

We sent our 3 kids to Odyssey. We loved our whole experience. Our kids were around long enough to be students in each of the classrooms. We were happy with the care they received in each of them. Antonio was great and always pleasant to talk to. Our kids have aged out of the school but we still recommend to others.

We are very pleased with Odyssey and have sent 3 of our children there and will send the fourth when he is of age. My siblings have also sent their children here as well. My son who was in Mrs. Ulla’s class was ahead a whole year educationally when he started K4 this year. The director, Antonio is always very forthcoming with information and very personable. He always encourages parents to drop in anytime to see what is going on in the classroom. My kids have formed good relationships here with both their peers and their teachers - they talk about their teachers at home and look forward to school days. I feel good knowing that my kids are around teachers who love and care for them in my absence. Would recommend Odyssey to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment where children are encouraged to learn and grow!

Wonderful Montessori for any family looking for safe, educational, and affordable child care on the south side. Super convenient location, awesome teachers, very caring and involved director. My daughter attended from age 2.5-4 and now my 2.5 yo son is having a wonderful time.

I told the school for my two year-old daughter during the tour. I told the director that my daughter had nerve damage during delivery and that she was a little behind potty training due to her, not being able to pull up her panties with both hands. He let me know that that was OK that she will be in a smaller class until she’s able to transition until the next class. During the tour, I witness older white woman and the older two-year-old class grab a young black boy by the arm Which made me skeptical about sending my daughter to the school to begin with. After touring a few other schools, I decided to give this school a chance. She started her trial period this week And her father was the one taking her due to the fact that I had just started a new job. I wanted to follow up with the director to let him know that I did not want anybody grabbing on her arm. He later sent me an email saying that she will not be able to be enrolled in the school due to her injury. Which I feel like he has discriminated against my daughter because he accepted her in his school Knowing of her injury and didn’t decide to not accept her until I brought up the fact that the teacher grabbed a young boy’s arm. I also witnessed another kid get hit in the head with the door by the director and it wasn’t reported to the parent.
