I spent a great deal of time researching schools and childcare facilities to find what I felt would be the best, while still affordable, option. As it happened, my wife spent some time working at the Carmel location while pursuing her education. The way she describes the curriculum, manageable class sizes, attentive nature and overall excellence she experienced while working at that location; I had an idea of where I wanted to set the bar while researching and assessing our options. Ultimately, my wife, son, and I visited the Paradise Springstone Montessori location where Ms. Melissa, with an appointment and appropriate Covid precautions, allowed us to look in at some classrooms while she explained the curriculum, diet, discipline, and other aspects of Springstone's program. I was immediately impressed not only by her description of the program but also of how smoothly I saw the classes operating with attentive, well-mannered children and equally attentive staff. While I had seen several other good options along the way, none felt like they would provide the same level of care and attention to my child. That week, we enrolled my son in the 2-year-old Elm classroom with Ms. Karissa and Ms. Jasmine.Now, a year later, my son is about to move up to the 3 year's old class, and I couldn't be happier with or more confident in his care. Ms. Karissa, Ms. Jasmine and all the staff at Springstone Montessori have been wonderful to my son. I can't believe how well he is progressing; the way he says his ABCs, counts, communicates, and behaves. When I pick him up from school, he excitedly recounts his day and with what is an obvious love for the staff and program at Springstone.As I travel often for work and my wife works full time as well, it's a relief to know my son is at a place where he is treated like family while receiving what I believe to be a top tier education. The staff has been flexible, accommodating, respectful, and caring. I couldn't be more pleased with our sons experience at Springstone and wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking the best for their child!
