We are excited to have our 3yo attend DMA. The academy came highly recommended by a great friend whose son attended nearly 20 years ago. The campus fosters a great environment for learning. The teachers and administration are first class professionals. Most important, our son loves it and is gaining new life skills every day.

My daughter has been going to this amazing school since she was a toddler, not only is she independent and truly confident but she is fluent in Spanish thanks to the wonderful staff at this school. I can’t say enough about the owners, It is a family owned academy and has been in business for 25 years. If you are looking for a school that feels like family look no further.

Hi, it’s Ms. Tina,I feel it’s important to respond to the review by Rolee. We had a parent teacher conference in December and I had told her about my concerns about her son. I mentioned that I have a “green light, yellow light, and red light” way of observing my students. I told her my concerns were at a yellow and since December I felt the behavior had escalated to a red light, in my opinion. His behavior had not improved and it was taking my time and my assistants time away from the other children. I did encourage him to stay over the summer because I wanted him to continue, I encourage all of my students to stay over summer because the break in learning is always difficult.To say that “all the good teachers have left” is a stab in my heart, and it feels very personal because I have dedicated everything to Dynamite. I’ve been here since 1999 and I look forward to coming to work every day.

Dynamite has made us feel welcome since day one. Nicole takes a lot of time to answer any and all questions. So excited for both of our boys to be a part of this great family. Monique and Mirtha have been very open and caring. Can’t wait to see our kids grow and develop this next year :)

I had a horrible experience at this school under the new administration. Do yourself and your kids a favor and stay away from this place!***Updated***To give readers a context, my son started the school around last July in toddler's class. It was going okay for us, till this year beginning when he was moved to primary class. Unfortunately around the same time new administration took over. And I started noticing the change. eg. As a parent if I asked had any question or concern regarding the Covid precaution like masking or quarantining, the response I received was "keep your kid home for as long as you want". We still continued because we trusted Ms Tina given that she’s a very experienced teacher. And for next 3-4 months she never gave us any red flag about anything related to my child's behavior. She even encourage me to continue my child in the summer school with her. Then one fine day out of blue, I was informed that the school has decided to terminate my 3yr old because he needs the teacher's personal attention and doesn't fulfill the requirements of being a completely disciplined, smart, intelligent and independent indivisual ?***Addressing the issues brought up in the school’s response below1. As falsely claimed by the school, during the spring conference Ms Tina never mentioned that she is not able to handle my son due to any reason. She mentioned she is happy to have him and that he must continue with her in summers.2. I couldn't join the conference for the first time because I was on vacation in July. Upon asking them the reason for the conference I did not get any response at all. I even gave them an option of zoom meeting but they kept mum.3. I was shocked when I came to know in the conference that the school already made the final decision to terminate my child. Prior to that meeting absolutely nothing was conveyed to me. And there were no options offered to me or any chance given.It's very unfortunate for the sake of running a business this place is labelling tiny innocent kids as ones who have disruptive behavior.I want to thank the administration on behalf of all the parents that they keep reminding them of their policy- the school reserves the right to terminate any child for any reason they can find and absolutely with no prior notice!

We've only been at the school for a month, but couldn't be happier! The administration, the teachers, the assists, everyone, is so inviting and caring. They truly value Maria Montessori at the heart of their school. Excited to see how our children thrive.

We are new to Dynamite, but so far we are extremely pleased with our experience! I toured the school about 6 weeks ago and instantly loved the vibe. They truly appear to educate the child as a whole - from having live animals to the Montessori philosophy, this school is invested in the kids. The enrollment process was easy and from an admin perspective they are very organized, which makes our lives easier!

Our daughter goes to Dynamite Montessori and she absolutely LOVES it. My daughter is 4 and is now learning to read, loves math and is turning into a very responsible, polite and a caring person. She attends Miss Tina’s class and loves all her Montessori work. Miss Tina is amazing with kids and is very much passionate and experienced. The school environment is very safe, welcoming and perfect for children. Miss Paula is the school Director and is always available for any questions. Feel free to get the school tour and get in touch with her for more information. We love and are very satisfied and happy with Dynamite Montessori as parents. ThankyouApurva Kapil (Parents)

So far, our 2 y/o loves it and it is noticeable how his social skills have evolve since he is enrolled, just a few weeks ago. We are looking forward to what this new year has for him in there. The staff is great and the ambience overall good is peaceful and the kids look very involved with everything that happens around the school. One morning when I dropped mine off, they went straight to pick up some fresh eggs... I just love it!

My kiddo is here and absolutely loves the place. They have a chicken coop too, which is neat for kids AND adults. I've been given a tour and the facility sure beats the classic schoolhouse from a bygone era that I went to. Looking forward for my son to spend a few years here and then he'll be prepared for rocket science school.

It used to be a good school, but with the new administration, things have all gone downhill. It's turned into a money minting business. If you have any question/concern around your child's well being, the only response that'd get is to "keep your child home if you are not comfortable". They reserve the right to kick any kid out whenever they want at no notice and that's what they'll do if they feel the kid needs any personal attention or would waste teacher's precious time. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place.
