Bristow Montessori School

Think twice before going here. They don’t have a regular license like other daycares. They only have a provisional license meaning it is temporary since they were unable to comply with all of the licensure requirements. While we like the montessori concept the director does not know how to run the school. There were issues with the teachers and significant turnover in the past year due to the cheap owners and a dictator of a director. The school is very dirty and they had a significant strep outbreak for most of the school year last year.
They hire untrained, unaccredited staff and say they are montessori teachers. While there are some very capable and smart teachers at the school they quickly leave due to lack of pay and unprofessional environment. This is more like a kindercare with very high tuition.

Love the Montessori teaching philosophy.
Not digging the fact they post children with allergies on the wall, like mug shots of a poor band of misfits. Dislike. Especially since my daughter’s photo would be up there. It angers me, kids already pick on others for dumber reasons than food allergies, why give them more ammo? They should be somewhere the teachers /​subs see them, but not on display like a circus freak show.
The facility is awesome and brand new.
The tuition is mid to upper cost for the area. Definitely not in love with the fact that they use the state max numbers for their younger classes. For those two reasons I’m giving this facility 3 stars.
Nut free, which is great!
Very nice outdoor play area.
