  This school's toddler program was unable to meet the most basic of needs for our child, needs that have been met at a regular daycare facility for over a year. The administrators treated us unprofessionally and out of the scope of their expertise. In our experience, communication between parents and teachers and even teachers and the administration is either non-existent or unclear. This is a place where it is considered acceptable to provide first and only notice of changing our child's enrollment in a bag of dirty laundry. I am a strong believer in the Montessori philosophy, I attended Montessori School from age 3 to 6 and our children's Aunt was a Montessori teacher for years in both the US and Germany, and was looking forward to having my child attend this school. Perhaps their 3-6 program is better but I was extremely disappointed with the toddler program and would never recommend this school under this leadership to anyone. EDITED 1/24 (original review posted mid-October) Please Note: All of the positive reviews of this school were added after my review was posted. The reason for this is that the head of school sent a message to all of the current parents discussing our son after this review was posted. In this message she specifically requested that parents reviewed the school specifically to bury my review. Please keep this in mind when considering this school, they have discussed and misrepresented a child with other parents for their own gain. I welcome anyone considering enrollment or currently enrolled in this school to reach out to me for more information. I would be happy to share our experiences including documentation of everything that transpired. We are also still awaiting our refund for the 4.5 months we paid in advance....we've been waiting since October. The administration promised this refund, in writing, not only to us but also to the State of Connecticut.
