"The teachers and staff are tremendous! They are patient, kind and loving towards their students. In addition, our son has learned and grown so much in the Montessori program. We can't say enough positive things. Highly recommend!"

"Our son has been attending MLMS for a year now and he will be starting his second year there in the Fall. We love the teachers and close-knit community at MLMS. They have been very welcoming and responsive to all of our comments and questions. The school grounds are well maintained and the school building is a perfect environment for little ones. We thoroughly recommended MLMS and its staff."

"I absolutely love this daycare so much. Ms.Temica is very honest,loving & her center shows that. My son went here as a baby until he graduated and he loved it so much. I loved it. They taught him so much there. A very family oriented center. That’s what I love most about it. The staff is good. Very patient & always kept me updated. Now my 1 year daughter goes there and she loves it. She had a hard time at first but they worked with her until she got comfortable. This is the best daycare on Staten Island. I always recommend people to this daycare. This is the only place I would put my children."

"If you are looking for a school that represents true Montessori education stay away from Westside Montessori. Their mission on their website & framed on their front office wall says “ they foster emotional growth” not only they did not do that they broke my child with making a chart that only showed his wrong doings. Completely opposite of Montessori positive education they advertise. The school has a new director Dr David. He lacks leadership and experience. He doesn’t not know how to handle even the smallest situation that occurs under his care. Most of the time he has no idea what is happening, there was not onetime he asked us to meet together with the teachers. They changed up my sons classroom this year with two new teachers and more kids with learning disabilities. It was unorganized and my son was exposed to many bad behaviors. He was also struggling and the school had no resources. There was no plan or process in places. Just blaming and shaming. As educators and professionals and as a school with over 40 years of experience who advertise about Montessori education they surely have failed. The administration is all about money and except the teachers and 2 people working in the office they have no support. We did have some wonderful teachers like Mrs Shelly, Gabby, Allison and Lydia that we will miss very much but we are definitely happy that all of our kids are out of that school where there are some teachers that dims Children’s light. Teachers like Kariene who after 2 months couldn’t even get my sons simple name spelled correctly. She should go back to teaching art and leave Montessori education to professionals. Also to add they have blocked my husband and I from their Facebook page for just writing them a honest reviews and have asked other parents to write nice reviews after our review suddenly after their kids being there for many years and they haven’t had a reviews in 2 years. How conveniently and dishonest. This is how they do run things there."

"We have a really good experience with the school pre-pandemic, but the new head of school and teachers says they had tons of experience and the kids happiness was their priority. In my opinion they have really limite knowledge to deal or help each individual kids. If the kids doesn't follow their standard seems to be a huge problem for them. My son has hard time to adapt and needs extra support but they don't have the time or staff to do it. Our last meeting they openly suggested my son has neurological disorder, without an appropriate professional evaluation, just because they can't connect with him. He was evaluated by a therapist, and his pediatrician and nothing is close to that fake diagnostic they gave us. The only thing they did was causing a lot of stress in our family. All their PT meetings we have highlighted what our son was not achieving instead of focusing in what he learnt, we always make us feel something was wrong with him, which is NOT true. Be aware all 5 starts reviews are from previous admin."
