I reserved a tour of this facility for October 2nd at 5:00 pm with written confirmation from the owner, Darrel Graham. Upon my arrival, the staff on site was not aware of my scheduled tour and informed me that tours would not be provided due to a GI outbreak. I was told that they were unable to reach Darrel, as he was on vacation, and that no tour would be provided. This was completely unprofessional conduct. If they were not providing tours due to the outbreak, they should have contacted any viewings to inform us prior to arrival for two reasons: 1. I would not have attended a facility with a GI outbreak to protect my daughter from potentially getting ill as a result of my attending the facility and 2. Wasting our time to turn us away at the door was very poor business. This should have been done in advance. Thankfully, this has certainly narrowed down our search options, as we will never send our daughter to such a facility.

We have been sending our kids to pathway for 4 years now. Our third child is now attending her first year of pre school, and is really enjoying the teachers and activities. The teachers this year have been great! We have a fourth child that we plan to send there for his first 2 years of pre school as well. Our first two children have been doing really well in school and are both more than meeting the expectations of the school. I would recommend the current teachers and set up.

Pathway Montessori was previously an excellent preschool. When my daughter attended 4 years ago the level of instruction was exemplary and she very much enjoyed going to school each day. In the past few years there had been a high turn over in the teachers. The management of the school is extremely poor and level of instruction is subpar. Since sending my son to this school in the past year I have noted a lack of caring, patience and understanding for the requirements of age appropriate guidance. I would not recommend that anyone send their child to this school in its current state. While the Montessori principles are a wonderful basis for learning this environment does not facilitate positive instruction.

What a fantastic preschool! Conveniently located, fair prices, and a real and dedicated effort to observe and abide by all COVID related protocols. My son has thrived in this environment and we couldn’t be happier with how this year has gone for him. The teachers are knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate, and the Directors are fantastic as well, always quick to respond to any questions or concerns and seem willing and able to adapt to any challenge presented. I would not hesitate to recommend Pathway Montessori to anyone and we will look forward to another year together for the 2021/2022 school year.

My daughter has been attending Pathway Montessori for a year and a half now, a Montessori program in the morning with Miss Barb who is an expert in Montessori academic and a daycare system in the afternoon where my daughter can have fun with her friends and really be a child. I will not forget to mention Miss Maya and Miss Andrea who are very kind, patient and always positive with my daughter. At the end of the day she always says a word to me and I appreciate that. Mr. Darell the owner is not on site but he always answers my questions and is available. I recommend this place.
