Read what parents are saying about Children's House MontessoriWe are so happy we found children’s house in deland! Highest caliber of Montessori style education we have seen. Independence and independent thinking of children is encouraged early on, appreciation for the arts, wonderful music program and daily gardening create grounded and curious children ready to take on some of the worlds “challenges.” Their technology and integration of parents into the classroom is wonderful. So happy with this school, more than we could have ever hoped for!
Posted by a parent on 8/29/2020This is a school of the highest quality. I have an experience with my children attending as well as being teaching assistant. This has allowed me to share from both experiences. We are happy to have our children attending and look forward to many years attending in the future. Thank you for all of the efforts made for our children each and every day!
Posted by a parent on 8/21/2017LOVE THIS SCHOOL! My children have been attending for 5 years. Having come from a family of more traditional educators, I admit that I have had to dedicate some study to start to really understand the Montessori Method. I have found that some of the rulers that we use to measure traditional programs just dont apply here. For eg, having a low teacher to student ratio just isnt necessary for an effective Montessori classroom. This is evidenced by a class of 28 three to five year olds all happily and quietly on task, learning from older students, teaching younger students, and getting any necessary guidance or new lessons from an attentive teacher. The teachers are remarkably well-trained, effective, and compassionate with any challenges our kids may face day to day. They take the time to know all aspects of every student, so they can help them grown and thrive on every level. The lessons and materials are beautiful and brilliantly created. The outdoor envirnment is huge and magical and essential. The administration is supportive. The parents are active and always contributing to enhance the already awesome curriculum. It is a true community.My children are thriving.THANK YOU CHMS!

Posted by a principal on 2/13/2014My son went to this incredible school from 3 years of age, until he graduated from the 8th grade, and he is currently a successful IB student at a public high school. I praise this school so fiercely, my grandson is currently enrolled here now. We were not sure what we were looking for in a school for our son initially, but knew that it had to be something that would challenge him and make him keep reaching, while being in a safe and harmonious atmosphere, we found that and so very much more here. I knew beyond a doubt, that every kind and gentle lesson I taught him at home, was reinforced at school, in conjunction, the lessons that they taught him at school, were reinforced at home. Without a doubt we learned our sons teachers, they learned us, and we all had a vested interest in our son becoming an asset to home, school, life and society. I am so proud to be the mom of my son, he is a Gentleman. Thank you Children's House, and all the incredible people there that make it the incredible learning site that it is, and I look forward to many more years with you as I watch my Little Guy begin his Montessori journey. Bless you!

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would rate my child's time in this school a 8/10 the reason she had a little bit of trouble in this school is because of people bullying me for how she looked and how she acted and she had a little boyfriend issues(that was a big issue.)Parent Review6y ago - Edith I.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son goes here and I've never had such a worse educational experience. My son, who is in 1st grade now colors all day long, nothing academic. He use to know his alphabet and how to count to 100, going here he forgot that stuff. This school is a joke and should be closed down. The office staff are mean, the janitor was talking to the office staff of how "some of these kids need a good beating". Needless to say, after I heard that, I withdrew my son... you know... so he doesn't get a "good beating". HOMESCHOOLING sounds good right about now.Parent Review11y ago - Blue Lake Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe were so excited to have our children begin at St. Barnabas… however, that excitement diminished rather quickly. Where should I start? My daughter had her brand new birthday gift (a $40 stainless steel water bottle) scratched up with a pen by a bully in her class the DAY after she got it from her aunt. The teacher did nothing. This same student also destroyed a brand new book she had in her backpack (while she went to use the restroom) without any consequences. Following these incidents, my daughter began to overhear the conversations amongst students at recess, lunch, and in the restroom, discussing extremely explicit lyrics to Cardi B & Nicki Minaj songs, prostitution, strip clubs, and cannibalism, complete with explicit details about Jeffrey Dahmer. Really unbelievable to have to have this conversation with a young child after attending a Christian school for only 3 months. The other shocking part about St B. was how many kids they let into the school that aren’t only non-Christian’s, but bully kids that are Christian and enjoy singing at Chapel. My daughter experienced girls mocking her for singing and rolling their eyes during chapel time. Very strange to me that this is allowed at any school, let alone a private Christian school. The final straw for us was when my daughter came to me about being bullied for her body parts by envious older middle school girls. They’d make comments about her breasts and butt and as the days went on, I could see her confidence starting to diminish and she’d make comments about her not looking a certain way. My husband and I pulled her because we wouldn’t take anymore. Initially our only gripe with St. B was the heavy homework load and the rude teachers, but at least we could deal with those two issues. The rest of it became too much and not worth affecting my child in such a negative way. We are so excited for her next chapter. The new school she’s entering has the loveliest teachers that foster a warm, caring environment with zero tolerance for bullying.Parent Review4mo ago - St Peter Catholic School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids attended in 2021-22. My older son was bullied, and the school leadership and teachers did nothing to help, and didn't even seem to know how to approach the situation. My younger son did full-day preK, and the second half of the day was "nap time" and watching Disney movies, with no further learning after the morning kids left. When we discovered one of our kids was neurodivergent, the counselor refused to recommend any area occupational therapists or mental health professionals because they didn't want it to come back on them if we had a bad experience with a provider. They have no staff equipped to deal with special needs on site, nor do their teachers seem to have any training in how to work with neurodivergent kids. In short, save your money. We've had a fantastic experience at our local public elementary school, and I wish we'd never even considered sending them to St. Peter's.Parent Review7mo ago - Stetson Baptist Christian School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI don't recommend the middle school at this school at all. Sure you get that warmth feeling but with that come very rude people. These people are money hungry if your 1 hour late of paying the tuition they will call you. And the people will gossip about your family's situation to other parents. Also the parents here are very rude if you don't like them and will harass you. But the the elementary program was amazing, it's just the middle school program.Parent Review1y ago - Casa Montessori
