Research Hudson Country Montessori private Schools in Danbury, Connecticut

“wonderful school for parents who are involved with their childs education. I have been in the school for 5 years and have seen such a growth. the administration is always available and the buildings new growth is incrediboe. they must be doing something right. A graduate from the school just received a full scholarship into M.I.T and thanked the school for it!!”

“I have a daughter in the pre K. I like her teacher. But the school is not that good in teaching the kids. I moved from another State and I wanted to put my kid in the montessori because I like the concept of Montessori teaching and I also have a very good experience in the other montessori school. But I am sorry to say that I am little disappointed. It is not worth spending so much money in this school. Whatever my child is learning is just becuase I teach her at home. There is no proper study time in the school. I can understand that they do not want to force the kids in the studies at that early age, but I think if the child in kindergarten you expect little better results from the school as well as from the child as compare to any other public school.”

“The individual teachers that my daughter had in the 3 and a half years at the school were all wonderful, but the administration was poor. The communication between the administration and the home was lacking, and we were often 'blown off' when we went to the administrators with concerns. The building is in very poor shape. The before and after school programs are disorganized and the people they hire for the after school program barely get involved with the children. The administration speaks of the 'family' of the Hudson community, but unless you are part of a select group of parents, you are excluded from that family.”

“Although my daughter received an excellent education for the 2 years she's been attending Hudson, we are very disappointed with the administration, and misdirected priorities when it comes to where to spend their money. The school is run down and in disrepair. Some of the teachers seem unhappy, and there is absolutely NO organization or order to their summer camp program which is very over priced. My daughter used to cry every day having to go to camp, it was not fun for her.”

“If you are looking for a strong foundation for your child its a best place. If you are looking for a day care this is not a place for you. You have to give atleast a month before you give up on a school. It worked out great for my daughter who is in the school for more than 6 years.”

“i put my daughter in the pre-school program as I had heard very good things about the school. What I found was very disappointing. My daughter used to go to pre school before and never disliked school as much as she does now. They keep emphasizing on independence and so refuse to give the attention which a new child needs. The teachers are overwhelmed and so are new students. I had to withdraw my child from there and have to look for a better place.”

“Hudson Country Montessori was a huge disappointment for our family. I am familiar with preschools as my children have attended childcare centers since infancy. The toddler program was mismanaged and teachers seemed unhappy. The staff was overwhelmed, and there was a lack of individual attention. I was present at the school from 9am-3pm daily, observing the classroom. Children would cry and be left unattended. If one teacher was comforting a crying child, that left 15 kids for the remaining 2 teachers. On the 4th day, I walked into the classroom, and was told that my child could only attend 1 hr because she cries too much. The teacher didn't inform me the day before, so that I could make arrangements. After 3 days, I disenrolled and found another school.”

“Individual curriculum gives my daughter unbelievable education and high self-esteem. Caring nurturing faculty great director. Summer program is both fun and educational.”

“This school recently moved to include infants (with a learning program for toddlers) through middle school. My daughter has been reading in pre-k and her self-confidence is astounding. The Montessori principle emphasizes one-on-one teaching, allows children to take leadership roles even when young, encourages teamwork as well as individual work and emphasizes academics. The teachers are encouraging and know each student very well. Teacher to student ratios are small.”
