"I debated posting a review but now that we’re in a different school, everyone is noticing my son is a totally different kid and it’s 100% because we changed schools - he’s significantly happier, 100x more talkative, excited about school, likes his teachers, talks about his friends, tells us stories, and is doing a lot more activities. It makes me sad we didn’t make a change sooner. I will say that the directors try really hard to make it a good school but the owner is terrible and it’s clear he prioritizes making money over the kids. I outlined reasons we left (listed below) in an email to the owner and his response speaks volumes about why we left. He said: “I can sense your frustration. It appears that we might be unable to meet your family's needs at this time… I have been made aware of the account of your concerns and experiences with staff during your time at Oasis, and I think it would be a good idea if you began looking for care elsewhere, hopefully a center that can fully meet your needs.” Reasons we moved on: - Inconsistent teachers and classes run by mostly floaters. This made it extremely difficult for a 1 and 3 year old to feel safe and trust the people caring for them. My son is shy when he’s around unfamiliar people and I’m pretty sure he’d go all day without an adult talking to him. - Teachers sit around all the time, look at their phones, and make the kids come to them. We also experienced one teacher in particular that had very clear favorites and several teachers that were just unfriendly toward the kids/clearly didn’t want to be there. - Prices have gone up over $120 per week, per kid in the 2 years we’d been at Oasis - that’s an extra $480 a month per child while the quality of care and education has significantly decreased. - No learning despite them providing “lesson plans” and we rarely had updates in the app. Most of the time the teachers couldn’t tell us about our kids’ day at pickup. - On that note, every time we came in, it didn’t feel like an educational space - it feels like a free-for-all daycare. Likely because there’s no consistent teachers to actually keep a schedule. - This is NOT a true Montessori school. - The ratios often aren't up to code. Both my kids’ classes were consistently over ratio and I even had a teacher tell me that her having 18 kids to one teacher in the 3 year old class was ok."

"My daughter loves Vivvi so much and we could not be happier with our experience there! She has the biggest smile when we walk in every morning and when she sees her teachers and is always smiling at them when we say goodbye in the evening. I don’t think we could have made a better choice in childcare! She loves her days at Vivvi, and it’s so comforting as a parent to know that she’s happy and well cared for all day."

"My child has been at Dothan Montessori School for two years now and we LOVE it. It's a very nurturing environment that encourages independence, confidence, self-discovery and curiosity. At four years old she's reading and writing and is very interested in science, especially learning about animals, plants, our oceans and solar system. It's such personalized instruction from wonderful teachers; I have not doubt she is receiving top quality education at DMS."
