Reviews of Little Gems Montessori Academy l Montessori School in Somerset NJ (Kindergarten)

Rob B

Hated this daycare center. No professionalism at all. They had different teachers every time I picked up my son. Every morning there was only one teacher who was taking care of 3 different aged kids, she's changing diapers and watching the kids at the same time, there was no one there to help her out. I wonder what would she do if another child was in trouble and she is changing the diaper. There was lack of communication between teachers and directors. The morning teacher wouldn't tell anything to the afternoon teacher about your child and his/her needs for that day. The director would blame me for my son not being able to eat by himself and go to potty. I had told her that he is starting to eat on his own but she didn't care and blamed me for that. And she would just praise her kids how they were able to do everything themselves by that age. And lastly, The director was never there in the morning. If you needed to talk to anyone in the center, you had to wait for the director to come into the office which was usually at around 9-9:30.

Little Gems Montessori is under new management with new teachers. The teachers are the best in class, It is a breath of fresh air to know I can fully trust my kids with them and they will provide a top notch education. The facility is clean and up to date with Montessori material. The teachers have created a fun loving, caring and respectful environment.

My daughter was in toddler class last year (2018). It is a great school to have your child start the learning in all ways, behavior emotional physical potty training and everything else that is important for a Toddler. Mrs. Alladi takes the Toddler class and she is so great. Everyday she teaches the kids the proper Montessori routine in the best Montessori way, and definitely not a daycare. I had to move out of state so have to leave this school and my daughter is missing a great learning experience already. I know the school is good taking individual care to each student and helps the parents too, but how much they were good you will know especially when you are out. I would suggest personally to anyone around the area to choose this school if they are confused, you will not regret at all. In fact you will be pleased.

We didn't like this day care at all. Like the other reviewer mentioned, there's no professionalism. No directors available upon drop off in the morning and only 1 teacher present with the toddlers who's changing diapers and taking care of other toddlers as well. 1 incident happened when I was dropping my child off, the teacher was changing diaper and couldn't get to the other 2 kids who were fighting. This day care needs more staff in the morning and at least one director to be there so you can talk to them about any concerns. I took my child out and registered her at another day care close by, they didn't even charge me registration fees since I told them that I was very displeased with the little gems academy and had to take my child out. I will NOT recommend this center to anyone.

My 3 year old daughter attends and the center is wonderful. The new Director Ms. Gussie is AMAZING. She is very hands on and helpful. The center is a perfect fit for anyone looking to send their child to a clean, safe and loving environment.

I started my Montessori journey 8 years ago when my son was born. My passion for Montessori approach lead me to take the Certified Teacher training course. I love working with children and the best part is children amaze you with their hidden potential. They are teaching you all the time, you need to find the time to observe them and then provide the right kind of environment for joyful learning. I am proud to be a part of Little Gems Montessori Family as an Owner. Montessori Teachers and parents joined together to provide a better early childhood education to their and community children. Little Gems Montessori Academy was founded by these teachers and parents in August 2014. The staff and teachers at Little Gems is warm and welcoming. Children thrive in a loving environment. This is a perfect home away from home for children.

This daycare has been under new management / new ownership since late summer, and the daycare is running much more smoothly. Little Gems has experienced teachers who enjoy being there, and who genuinely care for the children. The director is available everyday, and is very involved. I love the "home" environment and small classes! It's been amazing to watch my child grow and apply skills from school at home and during play.

The teachers at this school are without a doubt the best- they are dedicated, caring, nurturing, and honestly treat the kids as if they are their own. The education my children have received far exceed any of my expectations. Both of my children LOVE going to school each morning and I am completely at ease sending them because I know they are in great hands. I am so very thankful for Little Gems Montessori!
