My daughter had a wonderful time attending Montessori Academy of Temple Terrace for 2.5 years. The teachers were generous, caring, and attentive; and, they were appreciated. The curriculum is advanced but meets every child where they are. She was excited to bring her “reader” home. It pleases me to know that when she was away from home, she was being nurtured and engaged to her fullest capabilities.
My daughter loves this school. She is learning so much. She is already singing, knows colors and animals! She is only 2 yo. We are speaking 2 languages at home and she is learning on top of English, Spanish and Chinese at school. They are helping them to draw, learn songs with them, dances. They teach them discipline, not showing cartoons, no one is yelling and they have a cool anti bullying solutions! I went to other schools, and was in shock. I completely support their solution on calling parents and notifying their concerns regarding children's health! There are other kids! They need to take care of them and make sure that they all will be healthy. Ms Kathy is very helpful as well. Any time I had a questions...about ANYTHING (!) she would help me and explain. I know that I don't need to worry about my daughter with them...and I'm one of the panicking moms...it's not easy for me to trust my child to anyone. But I know that I can trust them.
This school is great for academics, they focus on getting kids ready for Kindergarten and beyond. Teachers are good too. This is not, however, a Montessori accredited school, and not all Montessori principles are implemented. No mixed-age classrooms, busy work with the focus on learning how to read and write even if kids don't enjoy the work because they have a "curriculum" to follow. This school worked great for us for a year but once the new school year started and my child was moved to a different room because of age, he started hating school complaining about the work given to him. I spoke with the teachers and they told me that in the sensitive period he was (movement) I needed to place him in extra curricular sports activities because they don't include physical activities in their program unless you pay more for gymnastics or Zumba. I was also told that Montessori wasn't for every kid, and that they had a strict curriculum/standards to follow... maybe they need relearn how and why the Montessori Educational Method was created before saying something like that and charging Montessori tuition.
This school, the directors and teachers are amazing. I’ve had my daughter there since 15 months old. She loves school and learns something new everyday. The teachers are kind, caring and are invested in these kids. My child gets upset if I pick her up too early as she loves this school. My child is almost three but came home telling me about the life of a butterfly. She said it started as an egg, then caterpillar, cocoon then butterfly. She also counts to 30 and knows a lot of letters and letter sounds. They will harvest your child’s learning potential and you will not be disappointed.
Both my kids went to this school and we loved it. The teachers and staff were amazing! They were very nurturing and my kids excelled academically. We had to suddenly move because of my job and the saddest part of moving was leaving this school. I highly recommend MATT to any family looking for a pre-school.
