My daughter Isha has been with Castle Mound Montessori for 18 months in Primary group. I must say Isha loves going to school and enjoy all the activities in school like the circle time, gym, outside play time, computer lab time, music time not to forget the nap time too. Her learning progress is satisfying for we parents. She has developed a lot of good habits and has a good understanding of all that she is learning. Ms. Rinky has taken good effort in understanding her strengths when she joined and used them to teach everything Isha is capable of learning. We see a lot of improvement in her curriculum, discipline and other general knowledge. It's so helpful to know she's taken care of, safe and getting the attention and support she needs by Ms. Rinky in class!!

My daughter has attended for 2 school years. She will be moving on to public Kindergarten in the fall. We have a had a great experience here and always know she is in great hands with her kind and loving teacher Ms. Rinki. She has made friendships and learned a lot!
Thank you!

We toured a few Montessori’s in the area but we loved Castle Montessori coz of the flexibility they offered . We started half a day and then transitioned to full day. We are so grateful for the incredible foundation our son received here and to Ms. Rinky. Ms Rinky taught him to read, write, and build strong math skills including addition, subtraction, and skip counting. Her positive energy and encouragement made every day exciting for him. He looked forward to school every single morning and truly flourished in her class. This is his last year, and we will all miss Ms Rinky dearly!

We love Castle Mound! Every teacher we’ve had has been extremely caring and great at what they do. The management and support staff are fantastic as well. 10/10 would recommend to other parents.

After looking around for daycare/schools for my son, we were blessed to find him a daytime home at Castle Mound Montessori. The facility is clean and organized; not to mention, Mrs. Blaire loves our son like her own. Also, all the other teachers and administration (Megan and Unity) are great! We look forward to many more years at this campus.

My son attended was enrolled in the young toddler program at Castle Mound Montessori for 5 months. I cannot say enough good things about our time here. Every single staff member pours their love of education into these kids. Everyone knew his name here, even teachers from other classrooms, which goes to show that here your child will not just be a name on a roster. The classrooms are spacious, and there is a gym, music room, and computer lab in addition to multiple playgrounds. Lunch is provided for a reasonable price w/ vegetarian option, but you can also pack a home lunch. Tuition is reasonable for the area. Pick up and drop off windows are a little short if you’re not paying for extended day. His teachers actually teach the kids his age, they don’t just run around a classroom all day. He learned so much in such a short time here and I dearly wish that we could have stayed longer at this school.

I recently had the opportunity to enroll my daughter in Castle Montessori, and unfortunately, my experience has been less than satisfactory, particularly due to the actions of Teacher Sonali Bhargava. I feel compelled to share my thoughts to help other parents make an informed decision.From the very beginning, I felt an uncomfortable pressure from Teacher Sonali Bhargava to write a recommendation letter, even though it was only my daughter's first week. This put me in an awkward position as a parent, as I believe recommendations should be earned over time and based on actual experiences.Moreover, my concerns escalated when my daughter had an assessment from her school, and it became apparent that Teacher Sonali Bhargava had been dishonest in many aspects. I understand that young children may sometimes have difficulty communicating accurately, but the consistent dishonesty raised serious questions about the environment and the quality of care provided.In addition to the aforementioned issues, Teacher Sonali Bhargava also made a deeply concerning and unprofessional statement to me and my husband. She told us on our faces that she believed our daughter might be on the autism spectrum. This misguided assumption caused significant emotional distress for our family. However, fortuitously, it turned out that our daughter's speech delay was merely due to being exposed to three languages at home. We have been through an emotional rollercoaster as a result of Teacher Sonali Bhargava's actions and words.Furthermore, I had paid an additional fee for my daughter to participate in the tots program. Even though I notified the center within the current pay period that my daughter would not be attending, she was denied the use of the tots program, despite the payment being made. This lack of flexibility and refusal to accommodate changes in attendance, overseen by Teacher Sonali Bhargava, was highly disappointing and frustrating as a parent.Additionally, I had also paid for ballet classes for my daughter, but to my dismay, she never attended a single class. The promised service was not provided, and no effort was made to refund the payment, including the lack of action on the part of Teacher Sonali Bhargava. This lack of accountability and failure to honor commitments further undermined my confidence in the professionalism and integrity of [Daycare Name].On a positive note, the facilities at Castle Montessori were well-maintained and appeared safe for children. The daycare had adequate resources and equipment for various activities, providing a stimulating environment for young ones. Additionally, some of the staff members were friendly and approachable, which made initial interactions pleasant.However, these positive aspects were overshadowed by the pressure to provide a recommendation letter, the dishonesty exhibited by Teacher Sonali Bhargava, the denial of tots program usage despite payment, the failure to provide the paid ballet classes or issue a refund, and the emotionally distressing statement regarding our daughter's potential autism spectrum diagnosis.I hope that my review will serve as constructive feedback for the management of Castle Montessori. It is essential for them to address these concerns promptly, including the actions and statements made by Teacher Sonali Bhargava. As parents, we place immense trust in the daycare centers we choose, and it is crucial that this trust is reciprocated through honest communication, fair policies, and compassionate care.To other parents considering enrolling their children in Castle Montessori, I strongly advise you to inquire about their policies regarding program participation, refunds, and any additional fees. Ensure that you have a clear understanding of their commitment to providing the services for which you are paying and closely monitor the behavior and communication of individual teachers, such as Teacher Sonali Bhargava.Ultimately, every

We had a hard time finding a good place for our son and he had some bad experiences with some of the daycares in the area; I thought he just struggled with daycare overall and being away from us. Kristina went out of her way to accommodate our son as soon as possible and helped us feel at ease. Our son has only been at Castle Mound Montessori for almost 2 weeks and he's a completely different child (15 month old); he's happy, well rested and for the first time ever smiling and waving good bye to me in the morning; so happy to go to his teachers! The teachers are wonderful, the school has such a great welcoming feel. It's so helpful to know he's taken care of, safe and getting the attention and support he needs!

I was very leary of the transition for my little girl but it was so smooth. She adores everything and everybody in the school. They are very attentive. There have been times as a mom I was upset about something simple but they handled it immediately. No attitude, great listening skills and very aware of each kids different learning techniques.

Great school. Staff cares and they stick around which is refreshing. I have seen a noticeable difference in my child. Great improvements in speech, behavior, and attention span. Couldn't recommend more.
