I have two children that completed 4 years each through Kindergarten at Village Montessori and all I have to say is WOW! The experiecne they had there was fantastic! Village Montessori offered them a loving, nurturing environment as well as a thorough Montessori curriculum. They have both moved on to other schools now and are thriving academically and I attribute their success to the early learning that they both received at Village Montessori School. I highly recommend this school!

Excellent institution with top-notch staff and faculty that understands the delicate balance between academic rigor, discipline, and positive social interaction. I am a progeny of this institution and can say without hesitation that this type of development early on has had a profound impact on how my academic and professional career developed. The work ethic at this Montessori has never dwindled, and the team prides themselves on a tradition that has always put students ahead of the curve, by putting the student first. I couldn't have imagined my life any differently, and I am forever grateful.

Knowing the current faculty well, I know that these are a group of professional, experienced women whose lives are dedicated day in and day out to the children that they work with. They wear many different hats ranging from caretakers to disciplinarians, but in stark contrast to the previous review, this is not a faculty that promotes bullying, abuse, or isolationism of any sort. This is against any school policy, and the owner of the school and her faculty operate with the integrity to promote an optimal environment for children. Zinat, in particular, as a mother first, has played a crucial role in the positive development of the children she works with, and any potentially defamatory accusations, like the preceding one, can face serious legal action.

Do not hesitate send your children here. It's a wonderful community that will inspire your children to do great things in life!

The montessori teaching method is one I strongly admire and wanted for my daughter. I quickly enrolled my child in the school and right away I was astonished at the cold heartedness of the staff. Now I can only speak to a few and not all but the head teacher of classroom # 3 although she has been a montessori teacher for about two decades appeared to have no heart. Joining her in style is the assistant. My child started at that school fully potty trained for almost a year. With one or two accidents happening at school I dismissed it thinking that it was a new school and accidents happen. Then the assistant told me of their method in room # 3. All students MUST go to the bathroom when its potty break time. When my child quietly stood in line waited her turn and told them she didn't need to go (having already went an hour before) the assistant teacher (Zinat) pulled her pants and panties down and forced her to stand naked in front of the other students as punishment until she had to pee. My daughter was so scared to even pull her pants up for half an hour because the teacher told her if she did she would be punished for it. How did I find out this information? The teacher told me thinking I would be ok with it. I quickly wanted to remove my daughter from the school but was told I could not having already signed a contract for a year or I would be out a full year's tuition. That is not what I paid for and if I could sue the school for it I would. THAT IS TORTURE.
