My child attended SHM since she was a toddler. It was a wonderful experience for her. She made many friends and loved the teachers. However my experience was not as good. The office staff is extremely rude and the school discourages parental involvement. You are scolded if you chat with another parent

Great location. Some teachers are great. Others are not good, No greetings in the morning, no news letters, just complain not to do things. Do not talk to teacher who has work to do (unless teacher wants to talk to), no talking in the class room, no to everything. completely opposite montessori teaching
... Read more environment as far as i understand. Some parents who looked at this school say that children seem to be robot in this school. not so good management either. They have excuse of 'busy'. no announcement for termination of extra curriculum, extra fee would not be returned unless you remember to claim it. You have to pay significant amount of money to stay for new school year (for Kindergarten) and no refund even if we give them notice in 5 month ahead. Too much reputation and too big the school became to handle by a family. Read less

Our three children went to Southampton from age 1 year. The eldest was in Kindergarten when the family was relocated out of state. We had every plan for all three to complete 3rd grade in the school. Our belief is that quality daycare/schooling is a treasured commodity and Southampton is more than certainly

My daughter started South Hampton when she was 3 1/2. We pulled her out for Kindergarden and I really wish that I would have left her atleast one more year at South Hampton. However, the afterschool care program has been wonderful. My son started when he was just over 1. I was very comfortable leaving

The administrative staff could not be any nicer. They trust the teachers with their own children and grandchildren and I think that speaks for itself. We are moving and are going to miss South Hampton dearly. Read less

We love it. When we pick up our 21 month old daughter she doesn't want to leave! Teachers are very caring, and the school has tons of charm and is so wholesome. Even the cafeteria staff loves our little one. 'Hi's and 'Bye's every day.

We have had our daughter here from 18 months through K and overall it has been an excellent experience. The teachers we have had really got to know our daughter and showed a great deal of flexibility in helping her to learn and to develop socially. This is a place that will stimulate, rather than suppress

The only downside is the main office, which isn't very organized and they are clearly running a business. Not so sure about grades 1-3, which seem awfully small and it is hard to transfer to another school in grade 4. Convenient, and open till 6 Read less

We loved our daughter's teachers, especially her 18-36 mths class. Great environment with nice classroom. Loved that a hot lunch was provided. However the front office is atrocious!
