I have used this provider for more than 6 months

If I could give this facility 0 stars I would. I am appalled at the behavior I saw from staff and the director, Hal. On three separate occasions I saw children physically punished. They also talked very negatively to the children. When I brought this to the attention of the director he stated that I "shouldn't make waves". I pulled my son immediately. This facility does not understand Montessori education. They hire ladies from the church that have very old school behavior correction ideas. They are cheap for a reason! STAY AWAY!

Harbon Montessori was my employer on two different occasions as well as being the place I brought my son. I cannot say enough about this amazing learning environment!! My son was reading by the time he entered kindergarten. After only one year at this school. The teachers are dedicated to their students!! I would highly recommend this school to anyone that is looking for a quality learning in a nurturing environment.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
