About the Provider

Description: Since 1973, the Skinner Elementary Montessori School has been dedicated to providing the finest Montessori education available in the Northwest. Skinner believes that every child can achieve social and academic skills far beyond those levels society presently accepts for children ages 2½ through 6th grade. We are proud of our teachers and understand how critical they are to your child's development as a learner. And we're committed to offering an exemplary Montessori education to our students. That is why all classroom teachers at Skinner are not only experienced educators, but also trained by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), the only organization Dr. Montessori established to train teachers.

We have attended with our children for several years and have gone from believers to completely frustrated like many others before us. If it was only a school for PreK and primary students I would give the experience 5 stars-they will have your child reading and writing well above grade level. The problem is if you continue into the upper level (K and up, more $$). There used to be more choice in teachers so you could avoid the one with a bad reputation but that is no longer the case. The teachers left are the owner and her sister and it is a no win situation. The sister teaches K-2 and shouldn't be teaching anyone but adults (and would have a hard time succeeding at that if not for the family business) Parents are leaving in droves each year once they experience her: she cannot tell you your childs progress; she doesn't reply to phone calls, emails, notes; she refuses parent volunteers and uses those of us who do insist on volunteering as secretarial staff instead of working with our children as we did on the primary side; she is inconsistent, contradictory, emotionally insensitive and borderline abusive to parents and children. Children are traumatized and afraid. Avoid.
