The director Liz always goes above and beyond to ensure all our needs and concerns are met. (Within reason because we wouldn’t ask of her anything that goes against their rules and regulations) Liz goes the extra mile and ensures our experience is just that much better. Highly recommend.

As first-time parents, we placed a great deal of trust in this center for the care of our only child, Louis. Unfortunately, that trust was betrayed. Key issues we encountered include: - **Unqualified Staff:** The educators lack proper Montessori training and essential experience. Our son was often supervised by staff who were untrained and overwhelmed. - **Neglect of Children's Welfare:** Louis was frequently left in distressing situations. On one occasion, he was removed from his own class room to an almost empty one, to be left to cry For a period as a form of "time out”. - **Dishonest and Manipulative Behavior:** Staff consistently lied, manipulated, and gaslit us. Requests for information and footage of incidents were denied and largely glossed over, leaving us in the dark about what was happening with our child. - **Emotional Distress:** Louis' behavior changed dramatically, with broken sleep, night terrors, and anxiety about going to the center. It later emerged that he was being isolated and singled out as a “problem” exacerbating his distress. We have since removed Louis from the center, but our experience has left us deeply concerned for the welfare of other children still in their care. We strongly advise other parents to consider these issues before entrusting this center with their children's care. Read more
