MONTESSORI LEARNING CENTER

We recently switched to this center and our experience has been great! Our child enjoys her time there and loves the staff and her classmates! They were helpful and patient during the transition period and continue to be very communicative. She has already learned so much!

My husband and I love Montessori Learning Center. Both of our children attended and/or attend currently, and soon our third will be there! I trust them and we have never had a bad experience with any of the staff there. They are flexible, friendly, loving and our children have grown so much since starting. Definitely recommend!

Can’t say enough good thing about MLC! My wife and I are both educators and I fully trust them with both our boys. They have clear routines, expectations and play structures while letting the kids explore their creativity. It feels like a community that our kids love being a part of! They are always clear about communication and care about our kids’ development and well-being!

I wrestled with making this review for a very long time. For background My child is diagnosed with autism level one. We did not know this when enrolling them in the school initially. I will say that if you have a Neurotypical child, that this school would be probably just fine for them. However, if your child has any kind of neurodivergence, The school is likely, not equipped to deal with them. During our time at Montessori learning center my child was often acting out due to their autism that had been undiagnosed. I will give credit to the administrator in saying that they definitely started the ball rolling for us to get our child evaluated. However, as soon as my child’s behaviors started, it was very apparent that they saw my child as nothing but a burden and an annoyance and they were very much trying to get our child Out of the school. We would often times get numerous updates throughout the day about some of the things my child was doing. I do not disagree that my child was likely acting out. However, the updates we received about the behaviors often times were framed as them having malicious intent behind their behaviors. Additionally, after getting my child evaluated and reviewing his IEP with a special school district, we found out that the school had made the decision to keep my child behind with the younger classroom. Essentially, they were 3 1/2 years old, And they were being kept in a classroom with fresh two-year-olds. They were separated from their friends that they had been in the classroom with previously, even though they met the criteria to move up to the three-year-old classroom. They made this decision without even talking to us or telling us about this and we only found out once we were in the IEP meeting that this decision had been made about our child. Then all of a sudden, we were asked to expedite the evaluation date because our child had picked up another child in the class because they were much stronger than these very small children in the classroom they were in. As I said at the beginning, if your child is Neurotypical, then this school is probably fine for them however, if they begin to have any behaviors outside of the norm or have been diagnosed with any neurodivergent diagnoses, then this facility is likely not going to be a good fit for them. I will say that Ms. Alexis did everything she could to help my child and she is wonderful. I usually don’t write reviews at all, but when it comes to the welfare of my child, and if I feel that there was some wrongdoing going on, I felt compelled to share our experience. I

As first-time parents, I can’t imagine sending my daughter anywhere else. The staff and Directors at MLC are amazing and the care and attention our daughter receives are above and beyond what we ever would have expected. It feels like sending our daughter to be with family.
