I absolutely love this school. The nurturing environment and dedicated staff have made a remarkable impact on our children's growth. The Montessori approach truly fosters independence and love for learning. A few weeks ago my child was excited to show me that he could button all the buttons on his shirt all by himself. I love their meal program and I am always shocked when I see my child has actually eaten things that they normally wouldn't at home. Communication with the teachers is excellent and we feel involved in our child journey. I couldn't have asked for a better school, better teachers and staff - Cruz, Ms. Bryana, Ms. Molly, Ms. Barnes, Ms. Hughes. I'm probably going to cry when we have to leave.

My daughter started when she was 18m old all the way to the kindergarten. We loved this place. She got lots of new friends, learned lots of songs, alphabet, numbers etc, but most importantly learnt how to share, respect others and follow some rules. Her teachers were Ms. Luz and Ms. Sherilyn and she loved them very much! We will miss this school but it's the time for kindergarten!

I would not recommend this school to anyone. Not worth the money and I did not feel like my concerns where met or addressed. I also do not feel like my child was safe with a certain teacher.

So I went to this school quite a bit if years ago. It was such a great school. The teachers were really nice, the kids were too. I had so many friends. I just wanna say thank you for making my Pre-School years a blast. I will never, ever forget this school.

They do not follow the Montessori way. They hire 19 &20 year olds to stand in on daycare watch until they get experienced staff but can't keep them due to only paying them min. Wage.Caution: This school is not suitable for a 3-year old that has high energy... apparently my son is an anomaly. The teachers and staff will not do anything about verbal bullying of students. Very unfortunate, because our son started there a year and a half ago and has done ok in the younger classrooms, even though there he had 5 different teachers in a year due to high staff turnover. However, He did show a regression in the preK (3-5) classroom transition, specifically, in our opinion due to over population under staffing, unable to supervise all the children, and the lack of experience with high energy children. He was potty trained at 1.5 years old, he's 3 years old now, in the last 4 months has started crying and saying he didn't want to go to school because kids there were saying mean things to him. He also learned from one of the girls in the class how to say "I'm going to k*** your mom" and finally started regressing in potty training, waking up in the middle of the night scared, talking about not liking his teachers or wanting to go to school. In our opinion, there is not a high level of experience or professionalism, that is associated with that school. Lastly, be aware, The tuition/ rate has also increased 4 times for our family, since we've been there.

Very bad front dest service. They did recommendation reward last year because I recommend my friend sent his kid there. but never get this payback！And I daughter went there for one week only because always sick！ they keep the rest of tuition and we paid 250 material fee. The best thing was they waved the registration fee. But when I relay to come back,they said pay everything again including registration!!

Unfortunately there is no 0 star!!! Save yourself the deposit or make sure you know someone in the school if you want to get in. Horrible, incompetent, management and communication. It has been 18months on the waiting list and every time I call them there is a different answer: "you're 5th, 20th, 11th, you're not even on the list..."They never call you back, but gladly take your deposit. They are great at blaming people who do not work there anymore. I suppose they look at the same system so when they give me 3 different answers within 24hours something is not right.Have connections or forget about getting in.

We have been with the school for about a year. Really clean, nice people.... For the first 8 months or so. Unfortunately, they have struggled retaining their staff. There seems to be shuffling going on almost weekly. Pictures of teachers and staff up one morning and down in the afternoon. My two flourished until they started being shuffled. My almost five year old (and others in his class) have had potty accidents. My son had not had one of those in almost two years. The staff are struggling to manage behaviors in class, including with my two overly energetic boys. Unfortunately, their only intervention seems to be, "writing up," my four year old. In frustration, I reached out today to express my concern about the management of the kids and I was told, "some kids can't adjust to our program," and, "our program isn't for everyone." It was a bit dismissive and clearly showed they wanted to see us leave which is pretty disappointing for a Montessori program. As long time Montessori parents (since 2012), we are disappointed in the quality and communication at this location. There are others out there. Do your homework. Show up during pick up or drop off to see how they are organized. Check on staff turnover, etc.

The owners of this place are money hungry and power driven, incompetent people. No care for my child. Just their non sensical rules & disgusting teachers. If I could give them no stars, I would. The niceness is all a facade. When it boils down to it, they don't even understand half of what they preach. Director Marissa really showed us that. Everything is very "nice" and "sweet" and then she claims she doesn't really agree with the Montessori way... So then how is it that a person who doesn't agree with it, enforce it all?

There are so many things I hate about this school. I have a list of things I hate about this school. And pulling my daughter out was the last straw. I was truly hoping I can bring my daughter back to this school if it didn't work out with where she currently is. I placed my daughter in daycare since she was 14 months. We pulled her out of that one and placed her here because of the amazing reviews and because my BD wanted my daughter in a private school versus daycare. We were on a six month wait list. From the first day to the last day of being unenrolled, this place has given me problems after problems.The good reviews are based on previous owners. The new owners are incompetent and the management team is a nightmare to deal with. When I dropped my daughter off, on her first day, she did not cry and she did not cry since. She loved going. Her teachers always commented how happy she is coming in every morning with a huge smile on her face. The last three months since she transitioned into a new room (because she is now two years old) she hated going. She would start crying and screaming. Yelling mommy, no. It broke my heart. I let it go, until finally my BD said we need a new place that is convenient for him to drop off our two girls near his house. My two year old is the only one enrolled as my youngest is 8 months old. I was okay with my daughter staying for the full month of November since we already paid it in full. However, my BD wanted our daughters to start this new place ASAP together. He wanted to see if we can get a reimbursement from Springstone to use towards the new place. So, I spoke to Amber and asked how many days do I need to provide in order to get a reimbursement. She said two weeks. (I didn't need to ask by the way, I was being nice. Just in case we plan on bringing her back in the future. There is no binding contract regarding any sort of notice to unenroll. I can pretty much give one day notice if I wanted to.)On top of so many other things, this was the last straw;In October, there was ANOTHER covid closure in my daughters classroom. They could not return to school for 10 days or provide a negative covid test. I decided not to take my daughter to get another negative covid test because she was showing no signs of exposure. My daughter had covid in the past (year 2020) so I would know if my daughter was exposed to covid. Instead I had her return after 10 days of the initial exposure. I received a message from Amber that parents received a credit for the days our child did not attend due to covid. Therefore, in November we paid partial. Nonetheless, I paid the monthly tuition in full. For the slow ones... clearly (this school). For example, the tuition is $400. I have $100 credit + $300 partial payment which equals to $400. That is considered paid in FULL. Amber is telling me that my refund is $20 but one full day is $30. And my daughter has two weeks left of November. Please someone explain to me how this makes sense. I feel like I'm being played for a fool because I am an accountant. I do debits and credits for a living. I was so frustrated I called my BD (who has a bachelors degree in finance) to knock some common sense into these people. Amber said she finally understood and said she was going to speak to the owner 11/24 because the reimbursement is high and would get back to us. It's Dec 2. I haven't heard a thing. Like, I'm so DEAD. It's mind blowing and I'm baffled. I looked at reviews of employment and it's just as bad. People who used to work there says the same thing about management. I don't recommend this place. And all you get is a reply saying "I am truly sorry you feel this way, we tried to make the appropriate steps to handle any concerns you may have". BYE! Never again. Idk how this have so many great reviews. My daughter was dirty every time I picked her up. Just oh, just oh. So many things I would like to say. Like that bruise my daughter got right next to her eye, which I have a picture of. If it was not even an inch to

When considering our kiddo's first school experience, we wanted a group of people who would care for her the way we do. In 4 years, Springstone Lakes did not disappoint. The staff gave her unwavering support and freedom to be herself, important work in the first 5 years of life. We are so grateful to the faculty and staff at Springstone Lakes Montessori for their care, knowledge, and patience. We miss them!

Nothing like private schools. Please do your good research before registering your loved ones here. They are just acting that they do their best.

Now that my son is starting kindergarten tomorrow, I figured I would review this amazing school for anybody who is looking for a great place to send their children. My son went off and on for about three years. Every single person we encountered was loving and sweet to my son and all the children. My son had Miss Marlene and miss Trisha as his teachers this last year, and I have nothing but positive things to say about both of them. It really does feel like a family environment. The curriculum makes learning fun. My son starts kindergarten tomorrow and he already knows his letters, sounds, can write his name, can spell simple words, etc. I really wish they had kindergarten program for the Montessori location, I know they have one in Summerlin. I recommend anybody looking for a top notch preschool in Las Vegas to check out Springstone Montessori. You won’t be disappointed.
