This review relates to another Montessori in California who shares a similar name. My school, MONTESSORI MANTRA, in Pickering, Ontario is a pure Montessori. My staff have been with me for the last three years and we have all the Montessori materials required for the age groups that we cater to. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 905-509-4773

Mantra Montessori was not the right place for our son. In my opinion it does not follow the Montessori philosophy and is unsuitable for energetic, imaginative and confident children. There were several reasons we withdrew of our son, I only regret we did not do it sooner. We enrolled our son. At first he seemed happy but very soon there was a revolving door of new teachers (temporary or hired/fired or resigned) and his behavior became more challenging, testing each new teacher, playing too roughly for some of the children and clearly exhibiting frustration and boredom. At home we were doing everything we could to curb this behavior (which is certainly not out of the ordinary for a 3 year old boy). It appears the director is the disciplinarian, not the teachers, and her methods of dealing with this type of behavior were limited to isolating our son, sticking him on a time out chair, lecturing him about how he "must OBEY" (a phrase that I've never seen in any Montessori material)
