Portside Montessori

My son has been going here since he was 15 months old and we love it!The teachers are all so sweet and loving. They have a great routine for the children and my son comes home learning so much from them. They are a great balance of fun and discipline as I always see the children having fun during play time but are so well behaved when it comes to eating and drinking water. They have fun activities outside of school time for the kids as well. They also provide lunch at a low added cost. The best part is the flexibility as they are open 7AM to 6PM and provide a lot of flexibility for my husband and I to pick him up when work days can be long. They also allow vacation credit through the year which is pretty cool. Overall we are very pleased and happy with Portside and all their teachers.

Our experience is based on our child's excitement for this place at their infant and toddler centers. Our child absolutely loves Erin and Samia and we have had really good interactions with everyone that works here. The space is clean, everyone is attentive of the children and I've had great communication about daily updates and the occasional injuries (which are bound to happen when your kid starts walking whether at home or daycare). The times I've spent checking in on my child, there is always someone watching the kids who are sleeping, and teachers will sing songs or read books with the kids. The kids always seems like they're having a great time and my child runs into his classroom in the morning.

Ww have had a famy member with portside since they opened. This used to be a nice place to send a child but now I would not recommend it. Over the years the staff have become short tempered and annoyed with children. After my child being left in dirty diapers on more than one occasion and seeing a teacher grab my child arm we chose to leave this facility. Maybe one day they can be great again but at this time they are less than acceptable.

We've been at Portside since June. Our son absolutely loves it there and so do we!! His main caregiver Tina is so wonderful with him. She is so loving and sweet with him! The Director Amber is super awesome and she is really caring and loving with our son too! We are so lucky we found Portside!

So far so good... my wee lil one has been going here since she was 102 days old :)She loves her teachers and seems to be well cared for and well liked by all. They really worked with me and the hubby on price and the teachers seem to genuinely care about the kids.My only complaint would be that I was told that my lil one would be learning more than she is... for example... baby signs...Oh well... at least I know that she's happy :)

Not much on the website. Need more information . There are no pictures, teacher requirements to compare to other schools.

In reply to the comment made on my other review: It was not "stated to the family that the bottles were not tightened correctly". When you make a bottle, you have to shake it to mix it.. If it didn't spill while making it, it was probably closed tightly. We were told they didn't know how it happened. Also, when we brought up our problems, the manager stated that she was off that day and would've kept a closer eye on her employees. When we told her who had primary care of my daughter, it seemed like this person had caused issues before. It was also stated "This child did not have a rash when the nanny picked up". For one, this was 8 months ago, I don't know who Rachel is, and how would she know that my daughter did not have a rash prior to pick up. Also, my nanny did not end up picking her up that day, it was my sister in law so this person who commented just does not know anything about the situation and decided to reply anyway. As a business owner, you should probably not blame the family for issues at the center nor comment on a situation you weren't there for.

We started our baby girl at 5 months old. We have loved Portside Montessori infant center. Ms. Megan is always so welcoming and cheerful with all the kiddos. Love being able to get pics and update through text. Parking was a bit hard due to being in a strip with other businesses.

I have my infant son at the Infant center and have had such a great experience with the teachers. They are very understanding of the needs of my little one. Every teacher is very welcoming. We love the environment and activities. He is moving to the toddler room at Portside and will miss the Infant center. Big recommendation for Portside Infant Center for your infant care

This has been a worse experience ever. Staff is not cooperative. I didn't see them helpful in guiding little kids. My son wasn't happy too. I will not recommend this place. I don't want to give any star to be honest.
