Children of Integrity Montessori Academy

teachers don't have license. They are very nice and friendly, but they don't really care about your kids while you are not there.

This place is wonderful everybody is extremely nice the principal she is just wonderful I would love for my granddaughter to go there ???

The level of incompetency and disorganization at this school is unbelievable and should be very concerning to anyone considering taking their kids there. We just took our 4 year old son for an "interview" on the exact time and date as we were told. At the door the Vice principal told us that they weren't expecting this and had no idea that we would show up, but also after leaving our kid with their kindergarten teacher for 45 mins, our kid came back upset and said he wouldn't want to go this school. The teacher was very rude and provided feedback in front of the kid, which tells me that they don't know how to handle little kids who go to new schools/places and don't have the basic competencies for the job. After complaining about this, the vice principal was apologetic but did mention that they are running a private business and are not overseen by a third party body for their performance and meeting basic competency requirements which explains why they lack core competencies of the job. In the end I am happy that we got a chance to meet their staff to decide to immediately withdraw our application.

This is an excellent Montessori school, with all of the best materials and instructors possible. Teachers and staff care about every child individually and about the community that they create together. Kids have individual and group lessons when they are ready for them, and they have great enrichment activities like music lessons, Chinese classes, performances, swimming and skating lessons. One thing I really like is that the kids are highly involved in everything that happens there. So, for example, they all take turns every week helping clean and maintain the school. Or, for little events that they do, the Senior kids will plan and organize things, and the other kids participate in ways that they are able to. We have talked about moving, but this school keeps us here. Our daughter has needed extra attention for some challenges and the teachers and administration have been absolutely wonderful. They’ve been in daily contact with us at times, bending over backwards to learn and improve things for our daughter and everyone else as well. They are creative and have a growth mindset, and we are very lucky to have found Children of Integrity and thankful to be part of the school community. There is another review that says the school is unsafe, and I’m trying to think of why anyone would say that. My best guess is that the reviewer has not had a child attend the school. There are two things I can think of that the review may have been about: first, the playground equipment is old. This is a small private school, and it’s true that it does have old playground equipment. However, it is not unsafe. We did fundraising last year to raise money for new playground equipment, so I think that is in the works. This is not a sterile environment, though. I don’t think it will be something with foam padding everywhere, because that’s not the point. Some days my daughter climbs trees during recess, and I think that is a good and wholesome activity. The only other safety thing I can think of is that this school is on a hill and during the winter sometimes it is icy. I think they do their best to clear as much of the snow as they can, but the layout of the school grounds makes it difficult to keep all walkways maintained at all times. It’s not much worse than other schools or neighborhoods, etc, though. Anyway, this school is the best of the best, and I would recommend it to anyone in our area who is interested in Montessori.

The best school ever. i am super happy that my daughter goes there. Teachers are nice and kind. principal is lovely.

They have gathered the sweetest, nicest, and most patient teachers and staff at this school. The Casa Amore teachers: Ms Terry and Ms Maggie are next level sweet and caring. The staff, Ms Caroline, Ms Daniel, ... are all extraordinary. They care about your child as if s/he is their own. I can't thank them enough for being so amazing.

We love Children of Integrity. Our son has attended COI for 3 years now. The class sizes are small and the student to teacher ratios are amazing. The teachers and staff are fantastic and are wonderful about communicating with us regarding any issues. Our son is thriving at this school. I love that they focus on not only academics but also social relationships, community involvement, and the arts. They look at who is each class and design curriculum that is interesting and challenging to the children. The Montessori method has allowed our son to excel at the things he does well and focuses on helping him in the areas where he struggles a bit. It has been especially helpful in the areas of executive functioning where our son is delayed. The teachers and staff know our son so well that they can foresee where he will have issues and they work with us so we can address them as a team. I highly recommend Children of Integrity.

I cannot say enough about this school. My children have been so happy here since they were enrolled in the pre-school. The teachers are so caring and dedicated to our children's education and well-being. They have instilled a love of learning and really encourage independence in every aspect of their lives. They're exposed to broad variety of projects, events and extra curricular activities. The teachers are great to communicate with parents and are passionate about the children in their care. The principal is always so inviting and really just cares for all children in the school. I feel I call anytime if there's an issue. Academically they have thrived and have become so much more self-motivated. Overall it's a really nurturing environment.
