Starting Point Montessori Center

I signed my son up to attend this institution, in the hopes for growth and success in his development, but after 3 days they kicked my 2 year old son out. The lack of patience and communication, on the institutions behalf, is limited. They gave up on my child after 3 days; didn’t even give him a full week. Also, only gave a partial refund when stated otherwise. Highly disappointed.

This School is a golden gem, I am very selective about my children education I have 2 kids who attend and they have helped my daughter with not just her education but her self esteem, You will notice 95 % of the negative comments surround "money", there is even a comment that states "the education is great but the price is high". My daughter knows so much my son knows words I didn't even know lol...so my recommendation is if you want the BEST education for your kid including culture send them here, if the fees are concerning just ask what all in total you will be spending then ask for small arrangements, like I did. Other than that the school defeats ANY other school I researched for my 2 young Black Children!!

Before you judge starting point Do you for research , on the expense of Montessori school . Montessori is more expensive, then parochial school . This is gonna be expensive . No way around it ! My Kid is 5 and she can read . The school is challenging, but 100% effective if you put 100% of your effort behind the curriculum . It it’s worth it if you want your child to have a step up. The school is expensive , it is. Frankly I think most of the negative comments come from people that don’t like the price. They what more Bang for their buck , their choice , I totally understand. I’m not happy about the extra added expenses. IE The kindergarten graduation fund raising fee. But I won’t be pressured. I pay my tuition every two weeks on time. And I don’t worry about the rest . Neither does the director , so she can’t be that money hungry . I get things paid off on my time frame , other then tuttion.

The director is oblivious to the fact that all children are different, which means they all act different. They lack basic early childhood education knowledge. The directors concern is that school is operated as a boot camp for adults and not those of toddlers and small children. Money is of course the main concern.

I absolutely love this place! I am very picky when it comes to my children's education but I must admit this place is like a hidden gem. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the school as a whole. The building is always clean, no matter what time I come in its practically spotless. My son has learned so much! He knows his numbers , days of the week, and months of the year in Spanish and his only three years old. The price may seem expensive but its comparable to Cornerstone which charges about four thousand more. The Director runs this place like a regular school and I am confident that when my son leaves he will be well prepared.
