    "I want to express on how thankful I am at MDS for being a school that they have come to be .My son who's attended since he was 3yrs. old now going into 5th grade and my daughter gladly to say now 4yrs. old attending currently. I am proud as a parent to be part of this school and I know that my children feel the same way. They both have grown tremendously and continue to within the years. The communication, the availability of Teachers and staff to parents make our community stronger when were involved to help guide our children to a better tomorrow, day by day. I want to thank mainly the Director for always being there and giving a smile and making the school prosper and for always handling things in a professional way. Teachers and assistants for being there teaching our children to learn and become a better someone for there future, thank the Office Staff to our Maintenance men who contribute into making this school for brightening the way to my children. I want to thank all for there dedication. When we take time to be involved with our children's education they accomplish many goals. Keep up the good work MDS in progressing in our children's education and for your support."

    "I have had 3 children in the Montessori Day School. My oldest started in 4th grade, and the other 2 started in kindergarten. Both of the older children then graduated from the Middle School. My youngest is still attending there and will finish 8th grade there. I cannot express the kindness of the staff. It is like a family. The teachers first thought is the child and their desire to see the children grow into individuals, to make the children feel proud and successful at whatever it is they are learning. My oldest child had challenges and the staff were amazing. They cared for his situation right down to his eyes.( They gave us a name of a eye specialist). He went on to high school to pass the Aims even though it was not required of those with an Individualized Education Plan. Both older kids went to public high school and did very well. My children are great people and part of that came from the influence of the school staff. From Maintenance to teachers to administration this school is Wonderful."

    "I have had all four of my grand children attend this school. Two of them since they were three years old. Besides being impressed with the quality of the staff I love the sense of community that is present at this school and the fact that the teachers and administrative staff are always available to talk to you. I think the one thing that impressed me the most is the sense of confidence that the children have. When two of my grandsons graduated from Middle School and went on to a big public high school I was so impressed with how self-motivated and confident and flexible they were. Thank you teachers and staff for a great job."

    "Unfortunately I had to pull my son and daughter from here. My husband and I both witnessed a staff member yell at a child and made him cry before class one day. When we went to the director to voice our concerns she said "too bad, I don't believe you" and didn't seem to care. Education was bad and religious stories were taught to our kids without permission. Again- when any of these concerns were brought to the attention of the director, she didn't care in the slightest. In my opinion you're better off sending your children to Tutor Time. At least with them there's no false expectation about what you children will be taught. The school director should educate herself in the area of personal responsibility and then practice it.."

    "The days of this being a good school once upon a time are now the furthest thing from the truth. Sadly, recent reviews here are correct. Teachers lack either the desire or the ability to manage a classroom. Grade school children are left to their own devices to motivate and teach themselves (or do nothing at all). The academics are a joke and sub-grade level. Their low expectations of bright young children is shocking and sad. School staff lacked the ability to communicate with parents in any meaningful way, progress reports and parent-teacher conferences were surreal at best. Teacher communication was off-putting and extremely frustrating. The principal is simply unable to manage unmotivated staff, out of control volunteers and a sad, sad physical environment with a tiny student population declining fast as parents figure out what a death spiral this school is in. Withdrawing our child was the best decision we ever made. We are now working on tutoring to make up for years of stunted academic progress, as well as rebuilding self-esteem from emotional scars from bullying students and condescending teachers. I feel for the kids still there."
