Countryside Montessori Day School

"I absolutely love this school! The teachers and staff are all so lovely and kind. My two-year-old daughter says, "We're home!" when we pull into the school's driveway every morning. It makes me feel good that she sees Countryside as home. :)"

"The staff is never warm or caring, they are very stoic. It would be beneficial to their business to greet the children with a smile and kind words such as, “Good morning, it’s so nice to see you”, but they just walk up and take the child and walk off with zero communication with the child. There is never eye contact wirh the children or parents. The staff looks miserable like they would rather be doing anything else but be with children. I have so much more to say but I will leave it at this for now."

"There aren’t words that can come close to expressing how glad I am that we found Countryside Montessori. I suppose the closest is to tell you that I didn’t cry when we dropped our daughter off for her first day but I cried like a baby on her last day when we had to leave the school due to a move. It is a calm, caring environment and it is clear that all of the staff genuinely enjoy working with kids. They cheered my daughter on as she reached developmental milestones and gave her TLC when she was sick. They truly set the bar high for other care providers."

"The entire team at Countryside is fantastic. I feel comfortable everyday leaving my 4 month old, knowing that he will be taken care of just as I would care for him. They treat you like family and honestly have your child's best interest at heart."

"The director of this place was rude, hateful and extremely judgmental. She was very condescending, did not act like she had time to talk to me but then apologized that school had just started and she would call me back in a few minutes after leaving me on hold forever. She never did call back...so quite sometime later, I finally called her back. Mistake. I was informed that since my coming 3 year old boy (still another month) was not fully potty trained that he would be asked to leave the school immediately upon turning 3 until he was potty trained. She also said that ALL of the other daycare centers did this.............rest assured they do not. They might not let them move up to the 3 year old class until they are, but certainly not ask them to leave. What happened to what is best for the child? You honestly think all coming 3 year old boys are potty trained? Not even close. If they are this militant about potty training, then how are they with the understanding of children in general? What happens if they have an accident? Do you know how your child is being treated? Like someone else mentioned below, they only seem to act busy when parents come by...this seems to fit the logic. I want what is BEST for my child and if this is what people think is acceptable...wow...just wow. Within our search, we have found several WONDERFUL daycares that are truly about the children, patience and understanding...not dictating rules to make life easier for themselves."
