Children's Courtyard Montessori School

Posted: June 17, 2014

My child's preschool experience was less than expected. I am not sure if the "lacking" aspects were due to the Montessori approach or this school's individual weaknesses. My disappoints range from little-to-no teacher read-alouds, little-to-no social development for 3 and 4 year olds, and minimal creative "preschool" activities (such as play dough or dancing/movement). The director and staff are very nice, but the program does not provide the preschool elements I want for my child. I have spoke to other parents with children entering Kindergarten and they all mentioned disappointment in their child's ability to read and write at beginning Kindergarten level.

My son has been attending this school since he was 18 months old. He is now 4 years old. The teachers at this school genuinely care about the students and are very patient. The school is also very accomodating to the needs of the parents.

So far so good. My son started Kindergarten this year and the director and teachers are all very nice and very eager to guide the children in the Montessori method. I visited with over 6 local Montessori schools and this one really stood out because of their willingness to work with all types of children. My son is a very active 5 year old who needs to constantly be challenged and needs a lot of one on one attention. The school itself is in a new location on Redd Rd. in a building that used to be a church. They have transformed the building into a very inviting and educational environment. I am so at ease that my son is going to be taught by great teachers...all of which are accredited internationally in Canada, Italy, and Mexico...where the true Montessori method is taught. Like I said, so far so good!
