"Growing Minds Montessori We are so happy with our choice of Growing Minds Montessori. As this was out first child, coupled with the pandemic (born in Feb 2020) we were headed in to this process pretty much blind. After the intro tour, we almost immediately knee this would be the perfect fit. Our daughter was transitioning from a daycare where she was the oldest by a year, and understandably was a tad but behind socially. Donna’s set up, coupled with the Montesorri ideology provided us with comfort, and an almost immediate/noticeable improvement in her energy, spirit, and curiosity. The Brightwheel app that Donna/Montessori uses has us in awe of how much they find to do in the house, backyard, and the local neighborhood. An added bonus has been the relationships our daughter, as well as the parents have made thru the school. Parent zen achieved!"

"Very good beginner learning pre-school, very good. Teachers are hands on with their teaching skills, also will provide one on one teaching if necessary. The owner, Mrs. Rochelle is available to answer any questions or concerns. That is the best pre-school honestly. The kids have graduation after their time there. This pre-school prepare the kids for kindergarten. Your kid or kids will show through there conversation with you how much they have learned and you will be amazed like I was when listening to them sing songs and converse with one another."

"Cannot recommend this school. When our 3 y/o was struggling with napping they took him to the front desk and let him play games and gave him snacks. The next day he wanted to do that rather then nap (duh) and then they said they never had a 3 y/o that didn’t want to nap (seriously?) BTW- that was 6 months ago and he he still naps without issue at home. They said he needed special Ed teacher. Had him tested at United Services ( the BEST early childhood program around) and they identified no issues nor did his parents as teachers. In fact, the recommendation was to “save” him from this school. Is now thriving at Goddard and napping without issues. Hope no one else has to go thru this experience."

"Fantastic! Every lead teacher is total class. Set in a beautiful, magical wooded campus with a HUGE tree covered playground. Only loosely affiliated with the equally awesome Unitarian church - Pastor Karen is wonderful (smart, open-minded, purple hair!) I paid to have my son do Kindergarten there gladly. Surbhi (new principal) is so understanding, down to Earth, patient, and former teacher at the school. I'm a Professor and had my kids at several schools in the Highland park / Edison area - this is by far the best. I wish I went to this perfect quaint magical school. Small, but just the right size. Diversity reigns here - wonderful exposure to all races and ethnic groups (missing African Americans entirely though :( ) You'll be so happy here."

"Poor administration. Poor attention to needs of children and parents. Poor communication and lacks conflict resolution. There was a discrepancy with transfer dates they dropped my son as a student with out confirmation and then when asked if they could help with the transition so my son could say good bye and help so it is not so traumatic and abrupt. Was told was cannot guarantee that we can ask but he is no longer a student here so someone needs to come get him. When I spoke to other school they said they only requested records and are unsure why they dropped him. Everyone puts a start date on a transfer but that always is dependent upon completion of transfer of records as well as communication with both schools. Three Rivers did not even contact me to confirm request and start date. The response only confirmed the desire to change schools. The teachers interactions are great, but for such a small school administration matters a lot. Update: they allowed my mother to pick up my son with no ID or verification of who she was. Not even her name. They did not l tell him why he was leaving so he did not get to say final goodbyes😩😣"
