Weinacker's Montessori School - Lake Forest

I can’t thank enough to all the well educated qualified teachers and staff that work at this location. My daughter lives everyone specially Dr. D; we are blessed. The positive impact is noticeable specially in my child. Keep up the great work. Thank you with lot of love

I’ve waited a year to leave a honest review and after this past year, I cannot recommended Weinacker’s Montessori enough! Dr. Powe, Ms. Bre, Ms. Aleks, Ms. Princess and all the other teachers are all so phenomenal and my 2 year old looks forward to seeing them everyday. It makes me happy to know I am leaving her with people that truly care about her and the other kids. She has learned so much this past year - numbers, spanish numbers, alphabet, sign language, and so much more!

Waypoint inspection services were simple & detailed. My questions were answered on site or with follow up phone calls or emails. I would recommend them and consider using one of the many services they offer in the future.

I can't thank enough for their dedication, love and creativity with my girl. She absolutely loves to go school. I am very pleased. Highly recommended

Waypoint Property Inspection East is amazing, always fast, and very efficient! They are true professionals, and their knowledge. I highly recommend WayPoint Home Inspection... Nino Cardoso Top Producer / Real Estate Agent Exit Realty Mizner

First of all.. They give out incentives for good reviews on Google. Outrageous fees. One of the last days before I pulled my son out of this place, Lori, the director, was 'disciplining' a teacher, IN THE FRONT OFFICE!! Made me very uncomfortable. The teacher was crying...We pulled out after that and went to First Baptist Fairhope. The teachers are great, but the leadership needs a change.

Individually they do have some great teachers; however, it is the way Weinackers is run that is a stressor in an already busy life. In my couple of years of experience with this location, there has been a high turnover rate. That alone raises a flag. There was even a time where a teacher became insubordinate and against the direction of her supervisor she still called me and left me a voicemail demanded I speak with her because of an issue with my son. The supervisor apologized and informed that it was just minor kids stuff. I have had several calls where the director calls and demands that the group of kids that got in trouble (like making a mess) be picked up because they are being punished. Instead of talking to them and having them pick up the mess, their first response is to interrupt the parents from their work day to punish their kids by sending them home. They also close arbitrarily for holidays. Even though the holiday has passed they will still close the following day, a business day. So not only are you required to pay for their service, but also pay someone else to cover such days. I spoke with the administrator and completely shut down the idea of working their schedule more efficiently to try to cover those business days. Her attitude was just one that tells you that you are just a number to them. Weinacker's is one of the most expensive tuition you will pay in the area, and honestly the cost does not match the service. (especially if you are a single parent or a very busy family) ***update after response from owner** It was Cheryl Marrison (the person who left the response) who cut me off, completely and rudely shut me down. I find it pretty hypocritical that she would respond, "relationships and communications between our staff and families are of utmost importance" because her actions reflected otherwise. Please do not fall for this generic response.
