Monarch Montessori School

I have had the wonderful experience of having childcare provided by Monarch, from day 1, I was impressed by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. Caregivers are kind, attentive, and dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for children. Recommended 100%

Our experience at Monarch Montessori wasn't what we were hoping for. I hope my review helps other parents to make their decision. The main reason we sent our son to daycare was to help him learn English since it's our second language and we don't speak it much at home. Unfortunately, his teacher wasn't a native English speaker, and her English wasn't strong enough for him to really pick it up. There were also some teacher's aides who didn't speak English at all. Bilingualism is great, but my son would say good morning and get a "buenos dias" back. Not exactly helping him with his English! On top of that, my little guy loves to explore new classroom materials, but his teacher kept shutting him down with "don't touch this" and "don't do that." This doesn't seem right for a Montessori daycare. This just felt way too restrictive, especially for a Montessori school. The location is not good for kid, located right next to river - the parking lot flooded frequently, and they even had to close the school unexpectedly after a few downpours. Winter wasn't much better. They wouldn't properly clear the snow, just sent emails saying "be careful on the ice!" Not exactly comforting when you're dropping off your kid. Speaking of transparency, when we signed up for the summer program, the manager promised there would be no obligation to continue afterward. But then we read the contract, and it said you actually had to keep going! The manager backtracked and said we had 30 days to cancel if our son didn't like it, but that whole bait-and-switch felt pretty shady. Definitely read the fine print before signing anything here. Overall, this was our first daycare experience and Monarch Montessori just wasn't the right fit for us. It's important to note that while there were many aspects of Monarch Montessori that didn't meet our expectations, our son did enjoy playing with his friends there. Finding a new daycare in the middle of the school year was challenging, so we kept him enrolled for the time being.

Good teaches

I can not say enough about this amazing school/camp!! My son had the most wonderful experience at Monarch Montessori School! The Director, Sharon is phenomenal and Mr. Charlie - amazing! My son felt so comfortable instantly which is not always the case. They challenged him which was excellent and rewarded him with positive praise. They offered so many different opportunities to learn while playing which is why I love the Montessori way. They had theme weeks and went above and beyond to make every week special for the kids. They followed covid protocols too. Sending my son here was one of the best decisions I’ve made and he can’t wait until next summer.

We placed our daughter in this school during the pandemic because we knew she needed to be in a place where she would be continuously learning in person, socializing with other kids and keeping her routines and we are so grateful to have placed her there. That was the best thing we could have done! The staff is awesome and they care about the children and there safety. 5 stars all around.

Montessori is a true life saver for my family, they go above and beyond their ability to teach and take care of every child. I started sending my child when he was 18 month old, he has been their for five month now and he developed so much in his learning skills. Mrs Kate who is the toddler teacher for my child spends a great amount of time teaching every child something new every day. She is an amazing teacher and I highly recommend her. I can’t forget about Mrs. Sharon and Mrs. Dianna they are both amazing they go above and beyond and make sure everything in the school is perfect for the children. Over all great environment and great staff.

My daughter started going to Monarch at 8th months old and just graduated at age 5 this past July. I had visited many different schools when I was looking for a daycare, but when I stepped in those doors I knew this is where my daughter was going to go. I fell in love with the atmosphere, the staff, the cleanliness and how much I saw all the kids were loved. My daughter flourished in the school from the infant room, to the toddler room to the primary classroom. All the teachers and staff became family and I felt I was leaving my daughter with family when I dropped her off every day. She learned so much at the school, and is currently flourishing in kindergarten and I know this is all due to the love and education she received at the school. Monarch is such a wonderful school for any parent to consider.

My kids look forward to going to school everyday! The facility is clean, friendly, and willing to accommodate for my children. I am very proud of the way the school is keeping up with the CDC regulations. I found a school that embodies Montessori philosophy. The teachers provide 1:1 attention and foster positive curiosity for learning through different methods. I am truly delighted with my experience at this time.

As an early childhood educator it was difficult to find a daycare/school that I felt comfortable enrolling my children in. When we came to Monarch, I knew we were in the right place. First of all, the school is very clean and well taken care of. The teachers, directors and support team have always treated my children with love, patience and kindness. They are all very friendly and accommodating to work with as well. When they are greeted at the door, everyone knows their names and are happy to see the children. My son has moved on to elementary school but my daughter is still at Monarch. She is thriving with the Montessori curriculum and absolutely loves going to school.
