Hope Montessori Academy, INC

I love this daycare so much. Everyone here is incredibly sweet and welcoming, and my 2-year-old son comes home every day with something new to say or do. It’s so clear how much care and love goes into what you do.

Hope Montessori School exceeds expectations and truly deserves more than five stars! My daughter began attending at the start of this year, and as she had never been away from her parents since birth, the transition was significant for her at just two years old. The teachers demonstrated remarkable kindness and patience during this period. Despite her initial tears and confusion about starting school, the teachers, including the exceptional director, took the time to understand her interests and provide comfort, ensuring her days were positive. The communication from the school has been outstanding; I frequently received updates about her progress. After several months, my daughter now loves attending school, eagerly looking forward to seeing her teachers and friends. Mrs. Iliana, the director of Hope Montessori School, is a true blessing for all the children. Her genuine love and dedication to their well-being are evident, which is why she successfully leads this wonderful school. Every morning, we are greeted with warm "good mornings" from both the teachers and even the older kids' educators, creating a welcoming environment filled with happy smiles and positive attitudes. Mrs. Iliana’s commitment and passion for nurturing young minds convinced us to enroll our daughter, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. If you are seeking a school where the director and teachers genuinely care for, love, and enjoy being around your children, Hope Montessori School is the ideal choice!

My daughter loves this daycare! The teachers are so sweet and caring, and she’s always excited to go in the morning. It makes me happy knowing she’s in such a safe and fun place where she’s learning and making friends. Couldn’t be happier with our experience!

I am extremely disappointed with Hope Montessori School, particularly with how the front office staff handled my child's situation. Less than 24 hours after being notified, I was told that my child could no longer attend the facility. Initially, I was frustrated, but I quickly realized that I wouldn’t want my child in an environment where the educators themselves seem unwilling to accommodate or support them. To be clear, we are not disappointed that we are no longer at this school. What truly disappoints us is how poorly communication was handled. The decision to remove our child was extremely last-minute, and we were given no fair opportunity or sufficient time to address any concerns or make changes to improve the situation for our child. This abrupt decision felt dismissive and left us scrambling to find alternatives. I was completely transparent with the owner about my child’s unique needs before enrolling, and they assured me that the school could handle the situation. However, throughout my child’s brief enrollment—less than 30 days—we received no feedback about his progress unless we specifically asked for it. My wife repeatedly heard complaints from staff about issues with our child, yet none of these concerns were ever brought to us by the director or addressed in a constructive way. A sit-down conversation would have been an appropriate and respectful way to discuss any challenges and work towards a solution. If your child has special needs, this may not be the place for them. Based on our experience, the staff did not appear equipped or willing to provide the support or communication necessary to meet our child’s needs. If the school had reached out to us, we would have gladly collaborated to resolve the issues and improve the situation. Instead, I felt dismissed and unsupported. This led me to wonder whether the lack of effort to find a solution was related to our identity as an African-American family. I can't help but think that if I were of a different background, the situation might have been handled differently—with more understanding and willingness to work together. To make matters worse, when I asked about the deposit we paid, the director informed me it was a non-refundable registration fee. If I had known that my child could be removed from the program with such short notice, no opportunity for dialogue, and such a lack of communication, I would never have invested my time or money into this facility. I hope this review serves as a wake-up call for Hope Montessori School to improve how they communicate with families, handle challenging situations, and provide consistent feedback about a child's progress. Every child deserves an environment where they feel supported, and every family deserves respect and transparency. I added if your child has special needs.This may not be the place for them

I wish I could give Hope 10 Stars. Absolutely the best experience for my 3 and 4 year old. We couldn't have asked for a better staff to sew into our children. Their attitude when you walk in the door is infectious, and the development we have seen in our kids was outstanding. They also taught our children about the gospel in a way they remembered. We sadly had to relocate for work, but praying we find somewhere close to what we got here. The very best choice you could make for child care.
