One parent highlights strong growth in independence, confidence, and social skills, praising the nurturing environment and structured hands-on learning. Conversely, another parent reports boredom, rigid adherence to basic activities despite prior knowledge, and unprofessional staff behavior that negatively impacted their child's attitude toward the school.

Kelly Lake Montessori (now Global Minds Montessori) receives mostly positive reviews praising the Montessori approach, small class sizes, caring staff, and clean facility.
