Montessori is a wonderful form of education and it is effective in creating an environment that allows children to have internal validation in their works. The teachers will work alongside you to help your child. The teachers are very kind however there are some that could use a bit more training. The problem is the administration, they are ill equipped and under educated to keep up with the demands of running a school. There are promises made but no follow through. There is a lack of communication with parents about important matters but overcommunication with things not as urgent. There is a lack by the administration to truly engage families in community participation and heavily dependent on the families to find that community, two community events in an entire school year. In order to be a great leader it comes from the top and that is highly lacking. There is also not a standard of who is allowed to enroll so what ends up happening is you have students who have a higher level of care and those kids take away from other children. If you are interested in this school I would go in with hard questions and really research the quality.
