Fayetteville Montessori Elementary

Fayetteville Montessori is an overpriced glorified daycare, I highly recommend NOT sending your children here. If you’re searching for a place to send your littles, The New School would be a much better option. If you’re looking for infant care I’d recommend hiring an in-home nanny over sending them to FM. How they’re ranked ‘best montessori school’ is unbeknownst to me, as it is, and I am not exaggerating, one of the worst running montessori schools I’ve seen. I have worked in a montessori school and have been practicing montessori based learning for over ten years now. Things to know: •They do not pay their teachers enough therefore the turnover is incredibly high - particularly in the infant and early childhood •My daughter had over 15 teachers in the ONE year that she had gone there •Early childhood and infant (classrooms under 6) are not montessori certified teachers, they’re 19 and 20 year old girls making minimum wage •There were a few teachers I loved but they left as quickly as they came because they realized how terrible the company is operated •Inadvertently racist •Inappropriate discipline (yelling at the kids to do things, frustrated by the kids, lack of patience) • Infant area constantly smells like dirty diapers •Terrible communication (no communication) about changes (new teachers, etc) Don’t waste your money here

These poor kids, it’s all for show, and it’s all for the money.
