Pinnacle Montessori

All reviews for Pinnacle Montessori are helpful here specifically the Culebra Rd location since it’s so new but there is almost no info on their website about the most important aspect — the teachers and their training!!! I’m very nervous about my 3 yr old daughter’s transition to the school this week even after numerous visits. She will meet a teacher named Ms Anita but the management should proactively give me more info about her, my daughter’s schedule of activities etc — they don’t do any orientation for new parents!!! Considering how much they charge there should be more customer service, no? Any word of advice? Thank u in advance! I hope I can change my 1 star for them to 5 :) soon!

My daughter has been attending pinnacle Montessori for 2 years and she has thrived. The Montessori curriculum is strong and the teachers are absolutely amazing.

I haven’t worked here that long, but for the short amount of time that I have been here, it’s been amazing! Such wonderful staff! It has a incredibly positive environment for all children! I couldn’t ask for a better place to work at!

I am a parent and my child has been attending the Montessori school for many months at this time. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the teachers. the director and owner are extremely caring and lovely people. they arebvery competent. my child has flourished he can read, write, his understanding of math is at a much higher level compared to his older siblings.

This school does not really follow verbatim Montessori structure. Only one primary teacher (ms. Kimberly) is Montessori qualified and educated with all the credentials to show for. Now my son was with her as a priority when they newly opened this Montessori here last year 2014 AUG. Please keep in mind that my son was already Montessori trained since he was 1 and had well graduated up to primary. So as the months past he was doing alright not the best as before in another Montessori but because the owner crams so many kids in the most educated teachers class. There are 23 kids in ms. Kimberley’s class. Out of no where even after I had spok with the director and head owner even with cameras that are supposably working they could not show me footage or address why my son kept coming home with bruises on his Chins and a cut above his eye. (my son is 4) the director (Dorothy) told me that safety was her priority but yet failed to address the issue at all. Instead lied to me and my husband and asked if we could do a one week trial with another teacher and she was quite convincing when she told us this teacher was awesome and great with children. Well one week passes and my son does not like his teacher and was asking to go back to his original teacher so as a mother I had to figure out why my son felt that way. I went to go speak with his new teacher and comes to find out she is on the job training under bulverdes Montessori director/​owner (ms. Aline) and not Montessori qualified what’s so ever nor educated with experience. So my son was shocked to be moved from an educated structured experienced teacher (ms.kimberly) to some other lady that honestly anybody could be well qualified to teach Montessori through guidance and that is not worth nearly all the money I pay for my son to get educated. Sadly this Montessori does not look out for the children or care for the kids education. In my experience this Montessori is only looking at children as how much profit they can make out of us and not giving us our money’s worth as they say they would. Parents do your re search !! And be aware and prepared of the type of people running this Montessori ask to see credentials and don’t just take the directors word on anything ask many questions !!! It’s disappointing … Hope this was helpful. Better luck to you. It is so sad to see why this world works the way it does because of mean, cold hearted, inconsiderate people trying to ruin our next generations futures. This is why the world is so full of hatred and anger with so many people doing the wrong things to the innocent. Karma will come back to them.

My 2 boys attend this school and they are smart, funny and self confident kids. They had never come home with bite marks or nasty fights with other students. There is no turnover as far as teachers are concerned. They are learning to read, add, write plus their social skills are phenomenal! I do think that this school has a lot to do with it. It’s very structured and the teachers are stern but the children love them. My wife and I and my kids included. I don’t think I would have the same happy outgoing child willing to learn the way she does if I would’ve sent to to some «day care.» Highly recommended!
