Regret by Catherine P on 7/27/2014 via Insider Pages
We were at MMS for 3.5 years and I would sum up our experience with one word: regret. I regret not trusting other parents' stories about bad experiences. I regret feeling overconfident that we could avoid interactions with the director. I…

MacDonald Montesomething by Jennifer L on 5/4/2014 via Insider Pages
MacDonald Montesomething, but not Montessori. The teachers are generally caring and nice but relatively untrained in either Montessori or any other early childhood education. The owner, Beth MacDonald, is fairly incompetent at…

Horrible Owner by Joseph H on 12/20/2013 via Insider Pages
Great teachers, horrible owner. We had our daughter here for 3 months and really liked it. She ended up being hospitalized for a month because she wasn't eating well. When we informed the daycare that she may need a feeding tube, we were…

Terrible Administration! by Sarah D on 9/3/2012 via Insider Pages
Aaron and Beth MacDonald are the worst business owners I have ever had to deal with. The teachers are mostly good but a school needs to have the complete ?package? to earn my business. I had my child at this school for some time but have…

My Review by thomash558292399 on 9/3/2012 via Citysearch
Most teachers are good, however the administration is the biggest disaster I have ever seen in a business. Especially Aaron is a disgrace to the school?s reputation; he only holds a job there because his mommy hired him. If he had to work…

Terrible managment by Jenna on 12/6/2010 via Insider Pages
PLEASE READ! As a former employee I will confirm other reviews? Yes, Beth MacDonald is a fake. She is more interested in making massage, nail, hair appointments and taking international flights than EVER being in her center. She treats…

Brought to tears by sile L on 8/13/2010 via Insider Pages
It's been helpful for me to read the reviews and to find out others had awful experiences with the director/owner Beth. She actually brought be to tears, yelling at me in front of everyone about how awful and horrible my child was. I was…

We love this school by G T on 6/13/2009 via Insider Pages
We love this school. My two children have gone there since they were each ~4 months old. I love that the staff seem happy and know my children by name, whether or not they're the teachers in my kids' rooms.\r I love the projects the kids…

My Children Are Thriving by Marit B on 5/7/2009 via Insider Pages
When we visited MacDonald Montessori school before my son was born we were struck with how friendly and happy the children were. The environment was warm and creative and the kids seemed to see adults as trusted friends rather than…

Great ideals, but some areas need improvement by Christine B on 6/25/2008 via Insider Pages
MacDonald Montessori has great ideals, but the execution depends largely on the teachers in a particular classroom. Some of the teachers are truly wonderful. The main problem, however, is that the ratios are too high and group sizes are…

Pros and Cons by Mark C on 4/14/2008 via Insider Pages
MacDonald Montessori's biggest strength is that they have very good teachers overall. Some are well educated. In five years, we have seen very low teacher turnover, which is a good indicator of the overall health of the teaching staff and…

Keep looking by MABC on 3/4/2008 via Citysearch
Don't be lured by the school advertising itself as "non-profit"--the director makes over $90,000 a year, travels to Europe on the school's dime, yet doesn't bother to return phone calls to parents.

Terrible Infant Care Experience at MacDonald Montessori by jpchein on 2/24/2008 via Citysearch
We enrolled our 12 week old at MacDonald Montessori School (MMS) thinking it seemed to offer a stimulating environment. \r We were expecting day 1 to be difficult, but not so traumatic. When I dropped off my daughter, I was not greeted by…

Terrible Infant Experience at Macdonald Montessori by Jon C on 2/24/2008 via Insider Pages
We enrolled our 12 week old at MacDonald Montessori thinking it seemed to offer a stimulating environment. Upon further inspection, although they may have stimulating stuff for kids, the environment for infants is anything but…

Whole childe experience by glittergrl09 on 1/15/2008 via Citysearch
The school has a very unique way of learning based on the schools of reggio emila Italy. It is a collaboration of teacher, parent and student lead activities. The staff is made of various ages, cultures and education level. I have two…

forget the administration by a d on 11/22/2007 via Insider Pages
True the admin staff is lousy but the people who actually matter are awesome. I'd say 90% of the teachers are excellent, and the others aren't bad. My kids have been lucky enough to be in the best classes. I am very happy and this is…
