It is the best place to send your kids, my dear daughter grew up in this day care until she turned 2 and half and I have never worried about her at all , they care for your kids as their own... Faye and her entire staff are amazing I wouldn’t leave this day care if I would not move to a different state. As a new mom this daycare made my life easy by their best care . They are very transparent and very attentive. Best day care ever!

Great Start Montessori is an amazing preschool. It offers an educational and calming environment. The children spend a lot of time outdoors and learn about nature. The teachers are kind, caring and attentive! Love everything about the school but most importantly knowing that my children are loved and cared for.

I am deeply grateful for all of the amazing teachers and staff at this school. Great Start is a calm, loving, child-centered community of educators who are dedicated to providing high-quality child care. My boys (2 years old and 4 years old) are so at ease here. They always come home having learned a new skill or talking about something fun and unique they did that day. I highly recommend Great Start Montessori School! I cant imagine my kids being anywhere else.

I highly recommend Great Start Montessori. Our kids 2.5 and 4 have been attending since July. The teachers are attentive and caring. They often tell me and my children how much they love and care about them. They thoroughly clean each evening and we feel our kids are safe there. My kids have learned so much since coming to the school. Each week they learn Spanish and Chinese and all sorts of other topics. At home they are constantly singing songs they learned and telling me fun facts about animals and experiences they had. My kids, especially my 2.5 year old son, really appreciate the structure found at the Montessori and knowing what to expect each day. He has learned from his teachers how to respond well to situations that upset him and how to handle his emotions in a healthy way. We have so much to be thankful for since coming to Great Start! The director is so easy to talk to and available when you need her. I know my kids are well cared for and I would recommend the school to anyone looking for structure, learning, and fun!

From the moment we toured the school I knew how special Great Start school was going to be for my 20 month old daughter. The teachers are loving, caring and so kind to the children. The environment is calming and beautiful. The children are outside playing more than any other daycare or facility, which is in line with our parent plan. The owners are involved and the nicest women you will ever meet. I am thankful we are able to bring our daughter full time and know that she is in great hands. In less than a week after starting, my daughter didn’t cry at drop off or pick up, which hasn’t happened so easily in the past. We love both the toddler teachers and they deserve awards for their amazing skill and patients with these little’s. Thanks Great Start for all that you’ve done!

Our children were in the toddler and preschool rooms. We had a phenomenal experience at Great Start and I would highly recommend it. The kids loved going to play with their friends and learn new things. In the preschool room, we saw our child really grow in her writing and fine motor skills. The environment was very welcoming and clean. The teachers were amazing and I could tell that they had worked with my kids individually to help them with their skills. The kids in the school were so well behaved and my kids made lots of friends. Our kids were very loved and enjoyed their home away from home during the workday.

My son has been at Great Start since they opened when he was 11 months old. Ms. Azy was previously my daughters teacher at another school, so we already knew we loved her, but we found another caring and amazing infant teacher in Ms. Faye! We absolutely fell in love with her and knew our son was not only being cared for, but nurtured and loved at the same time. He is graduating this month to go on to Kindergarten, and we are so very grateful to have had such amazing teachers and a diverse community that has helped him grow and thrive from a very early age.

My twins have been at Great Start since they were 8 months old. This will be their last year as they are heading to kindergarten. The love the teachers have for the kids is unbelievable! It is truly a family as the kids are so close and the parents have all created a little community. Best part is having such a diverse group of students and teachers. I love that my kids are learning Chinese (and are disappointed that I cant keep up)!

Our little girl started at Great Start a month ago and it has been an amazing experience! Fay and the infant team are so wonderful and made our first daycare experience so easy and comfortable. Pricing is good and the place is so clean. Adding an extra half hour for pickup (6:30 instead of 6:00) would be nice but other than that I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Great Start Montessori!!

We love Great Start and have been very happy with the loving and very positive attention our kids receive. They have been very open and flexible with our needs. We have been amazed at how much learning especially our older child has demonstrated already. We also love the exposure to other cultures and languages that our children are receiving. We highly recommend!

Wonderful daycare! We have been here since 2015 and both my children love the school, activities, and most importantly their teachers. They are a smaller daycare, so it feels more like a small family. I highly recommend setting up a tour if you are looking for a quality daycare for your child.

My daughter no longer attends this school because we had to move but if it was up to me I would have drove 40 miles to keep her there. Amazing teachers and amazing curriculum! I’d recommend this school to any and all parents.

Great Start Montessori is my daughters home away from home. Im excited to watch her grow in their loving care. I didnt want to go back to work so soon, but needed to. She started at 4 months, and I couldnt have felt more comfortable leaving her in their care. She is all smiles when I drop her off and when I pick her up. The teachers have so much love for the students, and it shows. The environment is clean and inviting. Every time I drop off or pick up, the toddlers and big kids are busily playing and learning. The infant area is so peaceful, my baby acclimated quickly. There is a sense of community, calm and purpose here. I am so grateful for this little gem in our neighborhood.UPDATE: Our daughter has been there for almost two years. Its hard to watch her grow up so fast, but feels so good to drop her off knowing that she is learning SO MUCH from loving and talented teachers. She is so happy there and the Montessori environment is an incredible asset to her development. Weve gotten to know several families as well and I look forward to watching our children grow together. There is a true community at Great Start where the children and families thrive from the passion of the owners/teachers. I cannot say enough good things about Great Start. And the new infant room is fantastic!!!

Our two-year old started at Great Start Montessori four months ago and we have had an amazing experience. If you are looking for a nurturing environment with plenty of time for play, this is the place for you and your children. Our daughter started literally three days after we moved here from Georgia, while we were living in temporary housing. The loving and nurturing care she received at Great Start immediately gave her some consistency throughout what was a busy following three months with moving into a new house and welcoming a baby brother. Im so thankful to have found Great Start - everyone is great - we have loved all our interactions with Miss Azy, Miss Kris, Miss Shaida and Miss Kiram. Our son will start there in January, and we know he will be in good hands.

I used to be in Mrs.Azy class and she taught me a lot, she taught me to be creative and how to sing and helped with my math and lots of other things that the list is to long to type, now I’m in 6th grade and I’m doing really well and part of it is because of the Montessori classroom I was in.

Ms. Azy is great. She was the pre school teacher for both my kids, now 5 and 10. Would not have it any other way.
