There are not enough wonderful things I can say about this school. I've seen neighbors grow into beautiful young women who attend there....and I love watching my kids develop and learn to THEIR strengths. All children have passion. They help find it. They create a magical world of inquiry. Questioning and loving the learning process. One loves bugs, animals and all things science (the grosser, the better). The other can't get enough of geography and learning about different places/languages/cultures. The last is still e... read more

We absolutely love Heritage! Our two boys (ages 4 and 5) have been going to Heritage for over two years and both have shown incredible growth both academically and socially. The teachers are absolutely wonderful and and most have been there for many years. Small kids can be handful (especially when there are many of them) but they do an excellent job of keeping them busy and happy. Our boys are always smiling when we pick them up and we love knowing that the Director's background consists of actual teachings from Maria Monte... read more

This place is great. Couldn't be happier. My son has been attending for six months. He started at the age of three, and loves it! Looks forward to school each morning, and is always happy and playing quietly (!) when I pick him up around 5 PM. Mrs. Kathy is a great teacher, I'm sad he will be moving out of her class soon! I was worried that he wouldn't get enough "play" time in a Montessori environment. This is not the case, many times I will pick him up all sweaty, smiling, with rosy cheeks. Academically, my son i... read more

Disappointing registration. We took the tour, specifically told them it was for summer only, gave them all the info including our daughter's birthday, and were told everything was fine and that there was space for her. We made summer plans around that. Today suddenly we received a call saying our daughter wasn't old enough for only the summer session, and that it was now full (our tour was 3 days ago). Looks like they just prioritized kids who were registering for the full year and completely dropped my daughter even after w... read more

Business response:

We’re saddened to learn about your experience with our summer registration process, and we understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been—especially after planning around the information you were initially given. It’s never our intention to cause confusion or inconvenience for families, and we apologize for the miscommunication regarding your daughter’s eligibility and enrollment status. Our goal is always to provide clear, accurate information and to maintain transparency throughout the registration proce... read more

Took my 2 year old here for 2 days.we heard him crying during pickup and saw a teacher using her elbow to push him down into his seat.their excuse was it was to busy and stressful part of the day.very unprofessional.that was his last day there and lost of payments for the whole month.plus we filed a case with the county to let them know. 

Business response:

Sent my son to this preschool for 7 months and he learned squat the entire time we enrolled him at Heritage. Took him out of Heritage and enrolled him at another preschool and he blossomed and learned in a short 2 week. Our son continues to grow and learn at this other preschool at 1 month with this new preschool. Heritage Montessouri is an awful preschool, it practices discrimination and taught my son nothing. Would never refer anyone I know here.

My son had a decent experience here and Miss Kathy is very sweet. However, Rehanna, the director leaves a lot to be desired. My personal experience was horrible with her. After attending all year, I registered my son for their expensive summer program, which is apparently a requirement for holding a space in the fall class. First, this isn't true because parents who didn't spend thousands on their child attending for the summer still were given a space in the fall. Second, when I asked for a two week "break" when my son woul... read more

I would give this school zero stars. I am writing this review as a grandparent of a former student. My nine-year old grandson is still suffering emotional and mental ramifications of the time he spent at this school which he left in early 2014. The teachers - I am not sure if his in particular is still there - are not educated about dealing with children with special needs such as ADHD or anxiety. They expect all of the children to fall into one little well-behaved, no questioning box. Instead of researching how to modify th... read more

I don't know how this school got 7 good reviews. Today I brought my 22 months in to see how he likes it. I just got home now and can't wait to write this review to share with you all daycare shoppers. If yelp can let me rate 0 star, I would be gladly give them a 0! Right at the moment the teacher Mrs. Cathy brought us in to their playground, she expected my baby to play around with other kids already and be active with the surrounding already! I told them he needs some time to warm up.. at least a few minutes. It's very norm... read more
