We love this school! My child looks forward to going to school every day. She has attended Rainbow Montessori for nearly two years and she has had such a great experience! This place is not like a daycare, instead this is as close to a school setting with actual learning as you can get (in our opinion). It is worth noting that Rainbow Montessori is family owned and has been in business for over 40 years. The teachers and staff are welcoming and very friendly.

My kids aged 2 and 4 went to Rainbow for about a year. I was so terribly disappointed with this school in so many ways, but I'll try to keep this short. The toddler room teacher is so jaded and detached, I did not see her show any affection toward any of the kids the whole year we were there. My son cried every time I dropped him off in her class. That was not a nurturing environment for young kids at all. The preK teacher is pretty good at faking she cares about her students, but I happened to catch her contradicting herself in her assessments of my daughter. My conclusion after my very unpleasant experience dealing with her is that she routinely just BS's parents and cant remember what she said to who. When she finally had to explain herself, she was incredibly rude, insulting even. She also made a couple of awkward comments to my husband and I, made her sound like she'd never seen a mixed race family before. Lastly, make sure you look at their school calendar and get ready to take many, many days off from work because their breaks are ridiculous; way longer and more frequent than any school in the area. Ugh, to think I encouraged friends to put their kid there! (They've also left by now).
