    "My experiences have always been really good ones - from preschool, to lower el and upper el. There will always be those who snip and have issues over this and that (as there are at any other school). But overall my kids love it, they learn a lot and the teachers are dedicated. For the money, it's a great education. Sure, it can come across as disorganized sometimes but so can any other place. If you are expecting perfection, then you won't get it, but if you want your kids to love learning, then you will."

    "You can send your child to this school if you don't mind that teachers don't supervise children at all during the recess and they don't notify anything even when your child bleeds or is hit by a few children. Bullying is not a big deal at this school, especially to the principal. Similar bullyings and issues on pysical or emotinal hurting happen over and over. But the principal don't take any actions. Teachers don't notify anything that happens in class or during the recess. What's your choice for your precious child?"

    "I should've paid attention to this important phrase on previous post. "The Spring School is guilty of many questionable ethics." I mailed the registration fee check after I saw the school in the afternoon 4:30 p.m.. , The next day my son's teacher told me she strongly advise me to continue the OT services but Spring School does not provide this service. I called the director on the same day but no one picked up the phone. The following day, by 9:00 I spoke with the director , explained the situation and asked her to send me the check because there was no point (at that moment the check was still on her desk) to what she says Ok. Guess what? On that afternoon she deposited the check. I called her and she said a week after, sorry the registration fee is not refundable , she did not argued about the check the day I called her because she was afraid I would put stop payment. on the check. I guess money is a big deal for them. i am glad it did not work out."

    "I am extremely satisfied with the education my two children are receiving. The previous negative reviews mention the pre-k issues from the 2009 school year. My children are in the lower elementary school. They are happy and academically advanced thanks to Spring. Their teachers are caring and nurturing and provide them with individual attention. If you want academic excellence for your children, you should check out Spring."

    "I beg of you, anyone thinking of enrolling your child here, please, please, PLEASE ask if the school is accredited by the American Montessori Society! Pay attention to how the director answers the question. She is known to avoid serious questions. The answer is a resounding NO because the AMS will have nothing to do with this woman! You can contact AMS and just mention her name and you will be met with unpleasantness. The Spring School is guilty of many questionable ethics. There is no way that anyone is giving a 5 star rating for this school... I believe that the director herself must have written them. Most parents were willing to overlook the director and her shady practices because of the amazing teachers. But she let go the best of the school when she fired those teachers back in 2010. Our family stayed, but we are not happy and will be leaving. In my opinion, there are 4 very good lower elementary teachers doing their best to make it work, and one particularly amazing teacher in the steppingstones classroom. The rest? sorry, but the replacements of those beautiful women will never live up to their predecessors. Never."
