Small World Montessori School

"We LOVED Small World!!! Now what to do??? We miss you SO much!!!"

"That School was amazing i missed all of you so much ."

"My child left the school for three months, and I think it really necessary to write down the personal experience at this school, hoping to help the children and parents behind; of course, I will carry all the evidence files on my hands to the department of education administration complained about this mercenary barbaric school. 1: We finished the course on December 12, and we applied for leave one month in advance according to the school contract, that is means I writed the application in mid-November and gave them。The school's recess from December 13，2017 to January 2，2018. But I did not know so I writed my child's last day was Dec. 15th。and the tuition for November was already paid. According to this procedure, in December, I only needed to pay half a month's tuition, but at the moment when I submitted my application in November, the manageress in front of children and children's teacher told me that I need to pay for a full month in December tuition 800，At that time I could not to say anything because I did not have the contract on hand and English is not very good, so I unable to refute her。And then I went home and checked the contract. There is no such rule at all. Many of my friends also said that in other school：you only need pay for the days your child in the school.not full month。And then On December 1st the day need to pay tuition fees, due to hear the persuasion of some persons，they said if you do not pay all fees，maybe your child will be abused in the last days in the school , so I obediently paid a full month's tuition fees, but in the end, in fact, in December the child go to scholl only 8 days except weekend.And began to take a break for all the December。This school is unreasonable snatch money, I must make it public and complaints to the department of Education，the United States can tolerate such acts exist? 2: I was asked to pay a deposit of 150 at the time of admission and was refunded when I promised to leave, but on the leaving day I asked them, I was told I would get a check after I left one month later ，so we waited for three months but did not received, And then I called to ask them, they said they will dealt with, and later they sent to us after the day I called them.That is to say：you do not ask them to pay a deposit, they will not initiatively to return to you; 3: During my child's study in the school, often need you to pay for something，there are various reasons, such as taking pictures, interest classes for parents to pay, Thanksgiving in November they also issued a notice，it writed the price tag to the parents to donate 50 dollars； 4: The school environment is bad，two classes nearly have 50 students，they need to share only two toilets, boy and girls' toilets have not separated at all.because of this, my child incontinence urine and wet pants for few times. Inside，the windows closed, the air is not circulated; 5: The contents of the daily learning of children is always trace a few numbers and letters, did not teach children any phonics that is needed for preschool's kids and so on. The above is my personal experiences with my child.that is virtual. I still have the relevant fees and notices and other supporting documents, My freind who is a lawyer and I will hand over to the department of education in California"

"My daughter opened up to the teachers there within 5 minutes. I can see progress daily. The staff is very nurturing and caring. We love it"

"My son and I both loved it at Small World Montessori. They were insightful and offered well placed advice on my son's learning challenges. He gained a great deal of confidence in working with the teachers there. We were a long way from home and they treated us like family. I would recommend SWM to any parent who wants a loving and nurturing environment for their child. Tim"
