“We have been meaning to write a positive review for some time, but the Covid pandemic has truly highlighted how incredible The Montessori House is. At the start of the pandemic when schools closed, everything was unknown. The way the Montessori House handled things could not have been better. From announcing they would be giving a tuition refund for each week the school was closed, to hosting Zoom classes 3x/week and holding a summer session to make up for lost time, we have truly appreciated their quick and appropriate actions.Ms. Maria's Zoom classes have been the highlight of our daughter's week over the past couple of months. During the school closure, Montessori House offered 9 classes a week (3 classes per day, 3x per week for about 45 minutes) in various areas including story-time, movement, science, art and cooking. These Zoom classes were both educational and fun. It is amazing how well Ms. Maria is able to keep the attention of a virtual class full of 3-5 year-olds. The enthusiasm and energy she shows when leading the kids through their "movement" class (dancing to kids songs) is incredible (especially considering she does the same song 2x per class, several times per week). These classes have given me a glimpse into my daughter's day, which has further cemented that we made the right decision in sending her to Montessori House. She normally doesn't tell us much about her day - we only hear what was for snack and which games she played on the playground, but It is evident that she is learning a tremendous amount and having a ton of fun doing it.My daughter is beyond excited to go back to school next week (with very strict safety precautions) and she is as excited to see her teachers as she is her friends. I have spoken with many people who's kids are in similar situations, and this seems FAR from normal.This morning, as card came in the mail from one of her teachers which was sent just to say hi to my daughter and tell her that she was missed.Montessori is not inexpensive, but we love it and it is worth every penny.”

“We've had nothing but an incredible experience with our children at this school. The teachers and staff have been instrumental in shaping their abilities to learn how to read and write and frankly be good people. I can't recommend this place enough. Shout out to Jill and Gabby, who oversee operations there.

Further, in the summer they do extra enrichment programs, and our kids have a blast there. It was worth every penny saving that year.”

“Our family's journey at Children's Corner Preschool has spanned three plus wonderful years, beginning in the summer of 2020 with our daughter and now continuing for another three years with our son. The dedicated staff, who are not only educators but nurturing caretakers, have made an indelible impact on us. The small class sizes provide a personalized learning experience that we value.Cleanliness and safety are top priorities, and the preschool consistently maintains clean and secure classrooms. The expansive outdoor play area has been a valuable space for our children's growth and imaginative play. Effective communication with the staff, facilitated by their open-door policy, has always made us feel at ease and well-informed.We've cherished the heartwarming photos of our children enjoying their time with friends, a testament to the memorable experiences they've had at the preschool. Our son's consistent cleanliness and the weekly folders with his classwork demonstrate the staff's commitment to hygiene and education. Our daughter's confident transition to kindergarten, thanks to her preparation at Children's Corner, speaks volumes about the quality of teaching.The ability for parents to visit the school and classrooms whenever we choose is a standout feature, providing transparency and a firsthand look at the magical learning environment. Even with new management and staff, our son is thriving, reaffirming that Children's Corner Preschool is truly a delightful experience when managed properly.”

“This daycare is the highlight of my motherhood. The way they care for my son, their service, professionalism , and warm welcoming is a parent’s dream. I wish for all of my kids to grow up in this daycare. Thank you to Janet and the entire JITB staff!”

“Had an old chimney on the roof that hadn't been used in decades, more of a leftover than a feature at this point. They suggested removing it entirely rather than continuing to chase leaks around a structure nobody used. Felt like a big decision at the time but the roof's been simpler and drier ever since. Sometimes the fix isn't fixing the thing, it's getting rid of it.”
