My girls were supposed to be in the Montessori class, but what exactly they were doing in the class that would classify this daycare as Montessori, I have no idea. We just moved from Houston, Texas, and the Montessori school the girls were attending there was FAR and ABOVE this school academically. SEVERAL worksheets sent home from school had misspellings from the teacher. If this person is in charge of teaching my children, who exactly is teaching her?? I have twins, and the school decided to separate the girls, which was completely fine with me. However, I then discovered that one of the girls was moved to a toddler class. She spent her days playing with baby toys, and no time was really dedicated to school work. My girls are starting Kindergarten next year, and they have been in Montessori since they were 2. The final straw for me was when I read the teachers bios posted outside each classroom. One of the teachers assistants noted that her favorite things to do were watch Teen Mom and Jersey Shore. The fact that the school approved this bio, and printed it for everyone to see just was too much for me. There was no sense in professionalism at all, and these are people who are influencing my children? No thanks. I will be searching for other Montessori schools in the area.

Our daughter has been at Northshore since before her first birthday and now she is two years old. This place has been wonderful. The teachers for the infants and toddlers really build a positive, caring environment, and were always delightfully surprised by the new words she uses that we never taught her. The teachers genuinely care about the children, and contrary to prior (significantly older?) reviews, we have seen zero turnover among the teachers: Paola, Lek, Saba, Claudia, Yadira, Jennifer, Mitzi and the others have been there the whole time, and all them know our daughter well. To boot, our daughter comes home with some cute, fun arts and crafts every week. Each class has outdoor access, and the teachers are mindful of sun exposure during the hotter months. Our only reservation before joining was the adjoined classroom spaces, separated by a wall of cubbies. It hasnt been an issue whatsoever, and the children, upon drop-off and pick-up time, actually see and become familiar with the other areas where they may soon become students as they grow older. On top of all of this, the prices are competitive - if not far better - than the other daycares we originally looked at. We recommend Northshore without reservation.

My son was in this school from about 8 months up to 2 years old and I really cant say much good about this place. High turnover rate, inconsistant care and some issues with discipline are what moved us away from this facility. I remember durring the hotter months in the Summer time where the place was very hot inside and they wouldnt turn on the AC because the owner (out of state owner) wouldnt allow it unless it hit some pre-set tempature. This school was run too much like a business (a bad one though), and I felt for some of the teachers (or care providers) that took care of my son and were very good but received no support from the management, and though good employees, received very little pay. Most of the good care providers we really liked ended up having to leave to work elsewhere. I really have nothing much good to say about this place. Keep looking if you really want a good place for your child. Keep in mind that this review is regarding the care for infants and toddlers, I cant comment on the higher aged children and care.

1) The bigger kids in the preschool classroom are not honest. They take toys from other kids cabbies. Toys were not found again. 2) This issue is related the fact that some teachers there are incapable of keep classroom orders and safety. 3) This issue is also related to the classroom is over crowded. Same classroom is divided into half and half for older and younger kids with lots of shared cabbies. The classroom picture at their website shows one big empty room. In reality, it is divided into 2.

We couldnt be happier with Northshore Montessorri & Childcare!!! We sent our son here beginning last summer and have been extremely pleased with the structure and learning he has received so far. Their prices are very competitive, and the staff is wonderful! We are planning on sending our 2nd son here as soon as he is old enough. Highly recommended. Thanks Northshore for everything

My kids love the before/after school program for school aged kids. They are disappointed on days that I get out of work early. :) The teachers have been wonderful doing a great blend of arts and crafts, science experiments, free play, and physical activity to keep the kids entertained while still facilitating a fun learning environment. Im very thankful we found them!
