Am truly pleased with the way my daughter is treated here! I transferred my daughter out of Good Earth Montessori just after 2 weeks because of the stressed out teachers, student to teacher ratio, sick kids and the daily negative comments from the teacher. My daughter cried everyday dropping her off and cried every day when picking her up – My gut told me that Good Earth was not the place for her. Transferring my daughter to Whiz Kids was the best decision I have ever made. She has been here for about 3 weeks now and has not cried AT ALL. Every time we pick her up…She is in a good mood and always tells me she is having fun. In just 2 1/2 weeks, my 2 year old already knows how to take off her shoes, put it on, take off her jacket and is currently learning how to write. For any moms that have a child that is not themselves at a large pre-school, has anxiety, and cries a lot – they will probably thrive in smaller environment like my daughter. Do not let the teachers tell you that it’s “normal” especially if you know how your child is…I am truly grateful for the experience my daughter has had here so far. Thank you Mrs. Kathy!
When we just moved to this area, I was begin to looking preschool for my kids. Then after all researching, we finally decided to come to this school. Not only is it close to my house, but also because the teachers here are super friendly and nice! Of course, when my two daughters came to the school first-two days, they were crying so much! However, the teachers would hold them, carry them, and give so much attention to them, which you are hard to find in the other school. Specially my second one, she was crying so hard every time we drop her there, and I almost give up because she just came to the county and did not know any English. However, Ms. Kathy would text me, call me, and tell me how she was doing, and sent me the pictures what they are doing in the school. I was much appreciated it. You know, when you been a mom, you worry much more, and couple days later, Mia told me: “Mama, I’m not crying anymore, and I wane go to school” I was in tear, and I know this is the right place for them. I definitely will recommended to those are seeking for a safe environment and awesome teachers for your kids! By the way, they are so close to the elementary school and we will definitely send our kids for the after school program here in the future.
This review is based on my initial visit. I am looking for a short-term summer camp for my 5 years. The manager is very friendly to answer all my questions and concerns. The facility is clean, spacious and organized. I will add more reviews after my 5 years old finishes his summer camp program at this place.
My son was four since he has been going to Kathy’s Montessori School and I have seen huge improvement in his verbal skills and he has mastered all his sounds and numbers and he is doing great with his small words formation and writing skills. By now, he is writing sentences and he is not even 5 yet! I highly recommend Kathy’s Montessori. Give it a try for your little ones and you will not regret.
Grand Reopening Celebration!
