Montessori Learning Center Of Dundee

We have 2 children currently attending Midtown Montessori and have been enrolled since the location's opening in 2021. We have absolutely loved this location, and both of our kids are excited to see their friends and teachers every day. They provide a wonderful, caring and safe environment with optional programming like Tumble Bus, Jingle Bugs, Soccer, Ballet, and more on top of the daily Montessori education and outdoor play time. The meal plans are reasonably priced and the app allows us to see a daily review of each child's activities, length of naps, etc. We have also made friends with many of the other parents, which is a wonderful added bonus. Deducting 1 star because of staffing issues that seem to have caused a revolving door of staff coming in and out of our classrooms, which seems to be the result of leadership changes that started with the acquisition of MEC by Cadence Education. This include directors (3 in 3 years) and teachers alike. Most of the teachers who have left our school have cited low wages, lack of support from management, and limited growth opportunities. This is very unfortunate, especially since many of them have left childcare altogether, or have moved on to competitors in the area. We have experienced tuition increases each year, but it does not seem the teachers are being paid at a rate that matches the excellent work they do for our kids.

House of Montessori has been wonderful! It has been fun to see our sons interests be nurtured. He loved the “Look who’s hatching” program, tumble bus, Spanish, and certified nature playground.
