Kelly Lake Montessori School

"The name of this school is Global Minds Montessori and they are amazing. My child loves it here and the teachers are amazing. It's a small place but well run. They really care about the kids. Half the time I pick up my daugter she doesn't want to leave because she is having too much fun. She's specifically asked me to pick her up later even when she has been there all day. She has learned more here in a week then she ever did at the Christian preschool she was at previously. Every child I see leaves here happy and excited and they all wave goodbye to all their friends. Every child is included and I haven't seen any bullying. The billing system is done through quickbooks and I haven't had any issues. The only concern I have is the safety of pulling out of the driveway. The cars come around that corner too fast. It's safest to pull out of the second driveway and enter through the first. In summary We love this school and we are so sad to have to move away and find another school."

"such a great school! The school is always kept clean and tidy. This school has made my first experience with Montessori method such a exciting positive experience. All the children are happy and so excited to share the new things they've learned. Kelly the owner/director is an amazing teacher and truly takes pride in her work and has such a heart for all her students, Mallory the toddler teacher is so great with all the children as well and All the children love their teachers along with the rest of the staff. I would recommend this school for anyone who is looking for a daycare/preschool and wants a reliable, trustworthy, positive experience!"

"My son loved it here! The staff were always so caring and attentive to the children. There was a sense of family. School is secure and always clean. The kids spent a good amount of time outside, weather pending. He always came home talking about his day and all the things he did and learned. Would definitely recommend for preschool! One of the better child care providers I have ever worked with."

"The playground looks fine to us (?) Not sure what the other lady's concerned about. Our kids have been here for 2 years and have never gotten hurt. Also when we started there were cameras you could log into whenever you wanted to check on your kids - we loved it. I know Kelly still has them but I think the cost is prohibitive of her hosting logins for parents. When it was an option my wife would look in on our kids several times a day and was always relieved to see our son happy and interacting with other kids and teachers. This was one of the #1 selling points for us when we moved our son to KLM. Although they aren't available anymore to us, I know Kelly uses them and I have seen enough footage of my kids to know they are in great hands. My wife would literally run the cameras ALL DAY while she worked - and tell me all of the cute things our son was doing. We never saw anything questionable. Never."

"Our two kids love Montessori school! One son is in the toddler program with Ms. Tanna and Ms. Sarah, the other goes upstairs with Ms. Kelly. Both kids are very happy here! And I like that the classroom sizes are small. Prior to KLM we were at another larger daycare chain and although we liked the teachers, there were easily twice as many kids in each class. By contrast when we started with KLM our first son was one of 4 kids in the toddler program! It felt almost like a nanny share since it was such a small group. Now both of my kids are there and love to tell me about their Montessori friends and show me their artwork. My oldest is learning what his name starts with and likes to point out every H he sees and say "that's what I start with!!" He's learned so much and comes up with new things every day. I highly recommend this school. The teachers are kind and patient and the class has fun seasonal field trips and projects. We love it."
