Buffalo Grove Montessori School

Terrible experience. Very unsupportive of breastfeeding mothers: constantly pressured around weaning, rude remarks including being told my baby doesn’t like my breastmilk (gasp!), supplementing with water over and above breastmilk, insisting my 8mo feed herself her bottles. Staff focused more on socializing than on attending to children. Does not embody spirit of Montessori with time outs for toddlers (!) and frequent yelling. Constantly found my daughter in jumper alone leading to slow motor development (until we left and within month back on track). I felt a huge weight off our shoulders when we left this place but wish I hadn’t been fooled and feel terrible everytime I think about my dautghter being alone at this awful place. Trust me — there are MUCH better centers nearby. Its like night and day.
