"Little Sunshines in Three Lakes has the best childcare in the northwoods! We have been with the center for a little over 2 years and they have become family to us. They provide the most loving and nurturing environment for our children. We love the staff and will always recommend checking them out if we know of someone looking for child care. Keep up the great work! You guys are our favorite 😊"

"This would have been 5 stars but lately there are cracks forming in the way that the administration runs the school and the quality of care that the children are receiving in CH. Here are some specifics: 1) my daughter is 3 and was transitioned to the CH environment in September. For almost a month, her lunch was coming back completely uneaten. We had to complain multiple times and ask the Guides to pay close attention and encourage her to eat. The Guide should have taken notice and come to us (not the other way around). 2) for the first two months of my daughter's transition to CH she was having pee accidents almost daily. Again - the Guide should have approached us to discuss solutions but never did. We had to force the issue and had to get very upset with them. Then, magically, the accidents stopped. Clearly, they started paying more attention when we complained... But only after we complained. 3) thanks to these accidents and poor overall bathroom hygiene, my daughter developed an infection that lasted weeks. When we complained about it, the administration told us they changed the hygiene policies in the classroom because a few other students had a similar issue. In the CH environment, the Guides do not help the students in the bathroom unless they specifically ask for help.... A fact that we were NOT told when we transitioned her. I am sorry but if you think a three year old can properly wipe themselves after a BM, you are delusional. I appreciate fostering independence but not at the cost of medical issues. 4) my daughter was rudely denied a snack, after she politely asked for one. This happened right in front of me (the teacher's aide who did this had her back turned to me so she was not aware that I was standing there). This is unacceptable. No child should be denied food when they ask for it. 5) my son (13 months old) is in the Nido environment. His Guide and teacher's aide are both amazing (shout out to Ms. Amal and Ms. Andrea). However, the administration, without any warning or notice, pulled the aide out of the classroom. We go to drop off our son and there is a random person that we have never met standing there. My son refused to go to her and was basically crying all day. This is the second or third random aide we have seen in the classroom. Given the young age where stranger danger is so real, it is so unprofessional to keep changing aides on the kids. It is also highly unprofessional that we (as parents) are not notified when a new person is going to be interacting with our kids. Because kids that age cannot communicate, it is important that the administration does. 6) this is minor but the parking situation is horrid. During busy drop off and pick up times, there are scarcely any parking spots available. You would think that administration would be cognizant of this fact and park their car in a further away spot, but nope. Every morning, we notice the Range Rover with the vanity plates bearing the school name parked in the best spot..it's minor but speaks to how out of touch the administration is to the parents needs. 7) administration bills the daycare as a Montessori school however it is not a certified Montessori school..it is registered as a daycare because it does not have its certification... Not sure why it still does not since it's been opened for over a year. Administration never bothers to discuss this with the parents and doesn't foster a transparent environment. The reason the school gets three stars is because of the amazing teachers and aides that are present in the Nido (Ms. Amal and Ms. Andrea) and the YCC (Ms. Alessandra and Ms. Melody) environments. However, the turnover rate is very high. I hope the administration does not chase away the amazing teachers. The school also does a good job on having great tools and materials for the kids. There is definitely great potential for the school, however for what they demand in school fees (some of the highest in the area), combined with the poor administration and communication, it is definitely lacking."

"My child loves Montessori learning. Unfortunately with FCMS the student supports are very hit and miss. The teacher for 2 years was an emotional bully and as a parent it was a constant fight for student supports. After a year and a half of fighting, losing my job due to the anxiety created for my child, hiring an outside student advocate, and paying thousands out of pocket for an independent evaluation to prove he needed some fairly mild accommodations that other students were already receiving my child will NOT be returning to FCMS and the same teacher for yet another year of bullying from her. Since this Montessori school is part of the district as a charter it's not as true a Montessori learning setup as it could be and perhaps that is part of the problem? Be very wary if you have a gifted or at all sensory challenged child, even though Montessori is supposed to always "follow the child". Gifted means they will insist that your child fall behind by 2 grade levels or more before being evaluated or helped in any way. Even mild challenges will be met with the idea that punishments or withholding recess and other enjoyable parts of the day will suddenly fix any inherent sensory or differences in learning needs."
