“We had our son in the infant classroom from 3 months to 7 months (we have since moved to another daycare due to commute changes). I will sing high praises for the main infant teacher, Ms. Omniya. We felt our son was in good hands if she was present in the classroom and we noticed our son rock through some milestones with her help and determination. Ms. Alicia rocks too!
The current leadership ( Ms. Ryian and Ms. Jala) are very communicative, transparent and prompt. They have lots of spirit weeks, family events, weekly newsletters, and somewhat consistent communication through the app. Honestly for the price of the tuition, I feel you get a decent experience and quality from this daycare.
My only concern that I would let others know about is that staffing sometimes was stretched thin. We had a few weeks where they had to turn away kids due to lack of staff or requested parents pick up early to reduce ratio strain. I'm sympathetic that this is a common issue among many daycare systems. I think the staff did the best they could on any given day, but you could tell when they were having a hard day! - all in all, it's a hard working group of people who genuinely try to know you and your babies. I will miss them!”

“My son was in preschool at Children's House a few years ago - around the same time the child from the last post was a student. I felt like I needed to comment because my son also had a difficult time calming his body during rest time, and I'm so appreciative of the extra time and attention Miss. Virginia gave him as he worked to master this important skill.No child was required to sleep, only to calm their bodies and minds. Miss. Virginia would play soft music and sit at the teacher table where she would do quiet work during rest time. She would position my son next to where she sat and often rubbed his back while he rested and looked through books. He enjoyed snuggling against her legs and I appreciate that Miss. Virginia, like every other teacher at Children's House, addressed the individual needs of my child while using age-appropriated methods to transition him from napping to "rest time." She helped him learn to calm his body and mind, and also taught him to respect his classmates' needs for a calm, quiet and safe space to rest.Miss. Virginia established Children's House Montessori in 1993 and I am so grateful that her daughter Grace chose to take on the work of providing a warm and nurturing learning environment built on the principles of Maria Montessori. Children's House requires (and pays for) their staff to complete ongoing training and continuing education in Montessori methods and principles - it is one of the main reasons we chose the school for our kids.Online reviews are powerful, yet the only gatekeeper to publishing is the commenter's own moral compass. I strongly recommend the last commenter spend time learning about Montessori methods to avoid making untrue and unfounded accusations regarding the education Children's House provides. The website for the American Montessori Society is a good place to start.The early childhood education industry faced enormous challenges due to Covid and nearly 16,000 US childcare centers have closed in the last two years. The management and staff at Children's House worked tirelessly to stay open throughout the pandemic. They worked with families facing financial hardship to ensure continuation of care, even when it must have seemed impossible to stay viable themselves. The classroom teachers and staff put their own health and wellness at risk every single day so they could be there for the kids and families who needed them.Thank you Miss Virginia, Miss Grace and the entire Children's House community for showing up and being there for the kids in your care. Please do not let an individual commenter make you question the quality of care you provide or the good you are doing for this community. You are appreciated.”

“This is a small center, but it is very clean, the teachers treat the children as their own, and they are very parent oriented. They make sure parents know what is going on in the classsroom.
I like the fact they send activities to my. Email that will help my child’s education and heathy life.”
“I toured this center yesterday, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Even though my appointment couldn’t be found on the calendar, the staff still welcomed me and made time to give me a full tour, which I truly appreciated.
The tour guide was incredibly kind and took her time explaining everything in detail. She answered all of my questions and was very attentive to my little one throughout the visit. Everyone in the building was warm and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable right away.
I loved that the center has an open layout, and it was great to see the children actively engaged and enjoying themselves. The entire facility was also very clean and well maintained.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience and am hoping to enroll my little one here soon!”
