Nova Montessori Preschool

My son started this daycare September 2022 and after 3 days they called me and said He will need more one on one time and we will have to find somewhere else for him. They said he doesnt listen and doesnt clean up. Im sorry but isnt this why kids go to preschool for the teachers to work with them and spend time with them to improve. This is our sons first time in a school environment and I feel like they just give up on him. They didnt even offer me to get support for him in the school or attempt to work with him to improve him. Extremely disappointed In this school and the professionalism of the teachers.

Nova Montessori is a special place for our family. Our first child went to Nova Montessori from 2 to 5 years. We also sent our second child later because our experience with our first child was very satisfying. Both of our kids really liked the school and enjoyed their time there. They also learned so many great skills through the Montessori program. The director is very nice and accommodating. Teachers are caring, patient, and friendly. This year, our second child graduated from school. We will miss Nova Montessori. We highly recommend Nova Montessori.

My two boys have been attending the St. Marys location since it opened. This past spring my son was graduating from pre k and I was blown away by the effort the teachers and kids put into the graduation day. It made it so special for the kids and it was great to see!!

I loved Nova Montessori school with my first child. By the time my youngest son was in preschool the staff has changed, and he started complaining that one of the teachers kept squeezing his arm because she was angry with him. He mentioned it several times in a two week period to my husband and myself. Ultimately I addressed the issue with the manager, my son pointed the teacher out so there was no mistake. What happened next caused me great distress and I have to share it here. The manager immediately became very defensive, she started defending the teacher by saying that cameras didnt show that she was doing anything to him (how could she have possibly reviewed OVERNIGHT a few weeks worth of video footage) but actually said that it was son who the one being aggressive with other kids and teachers, although there was not a single report/email/phone call from the school mentioning this before. The manager kept saying it would be my decision if I want to immediately withdraw the child. She did not give me any other option to address the problem, nor did she seem like she wanted to. I did withdraw my son as I was forced to do so as I didnt feel it safe for him to be there anymore. It is a beautiful, well-equipped place with lots of natural light and a good location, but there is never any excuse for violence towards a child. Instead of trying to get to the bottom of the issue and try and resolve it, management took the stance of being extremely defensive and accusatory.
