Preston Ridge Montessori

I couldn’t even get a TOUR. I have never encountered anything so snobby! I am currently building a house and am living with my parents until the house is finished. We moved out of our Brooklyn apartment where we were renters and are floating around until the house is finished this summer. My son was enrolled in a Public Pre-​K Center in Brooklyn and is so sad about not being in school. Since we’ll be living with my parents until the house is finished we decided to try to keep him in school for the rest of the year. We called Preston Ridge Montessori and encountered the most peculiar line of questioning ever. I asked if there were any spaces available and the woman started asking me where my son went to school before (public or Montessori) would my son return to Montessori after this year, she then started telling me to look into public schools. I was confused because at this point in the conversation she never answered my question about Preston Ridge Montessori and if the school would take a new student this late in the year. She then told me that they don’t normally (not sure what circumstance they would consider taking a child late in the school year I wasn’t given that information). I, at that point, was ready to get off the phone because… it wasn’t an option for us to send our son there. The woman then proceeded to say she wanted to help me and to consider the many Alpharetta public schools. Needless to say this was incredibly insulting. If I wanted to send my son to public school does she not think that I was aware that this was an option? OR that I would be calling a Montessori school had I not known what a Montessori school is?! I’m sure there are reasons they have for not taking my child, it was just such a STRANGE conversation that could have easily ended much sooner and with much less agitation had the woman who answered the phone simply answered my sole question I had about the school.
