Montessori Academy Of Upland

Not the place for a rambunctious child still trying to navigate relating to others. My son has attended school here for nearly two years, after transitioning to a new class at the request of the school and agreeing because we are team players, my son made a rapid 180 in behavior. His new teachers did not have the best class management skills and would tell him things like "act like a peaceful mountain" and pretend to call Santa to tell him he was bad. Given my son has misbehaved and I do not condone his actions but over the course of 5 months he became the focus of negative attention from his teacher, I'd receive hysterical calls about his behavior and disappointment when I didn't overreact. We switched him back to his old class but again problems persisted. At one point I was told by administrative staff if he doesn't get it at 4 he'll struggle the rest of his life. Needless to say we've been asked to leave, my son still can't comprehend why. Even on his last day they couldn't manage to have his items in order or to reconcile our account credits. (Kinda funny after being asked to leave.)If you have a sweet, quiet well behaved child this is the spot, otherwise consider an alternative. This is not the place for you, I promise.

This school doesn't have its interest in children, at least not mine. It took us 3 hours to find out and never to return. Everything was difficult from drop off to 2 months later in collecting my tuition that was paid in advance. Thinking of this place gives me anxiety. I am so happy my child does not go here and we found out early that it was not the place for us. Check yelp for the full review. Biggest Problems: 1. Ratio problems with toddler class (too many children per adult) 2. Allows big kids to be in same area as toddlers 3. Will not allow you to see your child to bring lunch when it was their fault for not letting you know you have to order lunch 2 days prior. No emergency lunch provided either. 4. if you change your mind about this place, getting your money back will be an additional problem. State code violations are posted clearly in their front office. It is not their first time!
