Explore Montessori

We highly recommend Explore! Our kiddo started in the Munari program when he was 3 months old, and over the past year he has grown and blossomed into a little tyke. Our son has some special needs and the teachers are truely invested in helping him meet milestones alongside his peers while, at the same time, meeting him where he is at when he needs it. The school has advocated for our kiddo and helped ensure that he has the best suport and learning environment possible. He loves his teachers and his friends, the art projects, and story time, and is truly excited to go to school each morning.

Love love Explore. My daughter attended over the summer before starting kindergarten. The growth that happened in just 4 months is incredible. I was thinking about holding my daughter back and not starting kindergarten til age 6. The staff over there worked with her and she made it! She's 5 years old, in kindergarten and thriving. We couldn't be more greatful! Thank you Jessica, Sarah, and staff.

LOVE LOVE!! One love for each of my sons who attend.
My boys work lessons, enjoy structured learning and times, play dirty, and are loved.    I'm especially excited about the natural outdoor space and the new art studio :)
I also work here as the director and couldn't be more happy with my experience at Explore.

As a teacher at this institution I can say with pride after just two years of working here that we strive to provide the best Montessori experience for children ages 6weeks- 12 years old within the Bozeman area. Just check out our webpage for FAQ or check in with the staff who will be happy to give you and your family a tour of our facilities.

My main issue with this school is the elitist attitude they exude. I have to use the Best Beginnings scholarship for my child care payments. Originally, the scholarship plus the $10 co-pay was sufficient for the owner of the school for my toddler son’s care (for 5 straight months). The owner became upset with me for considering leaving and told me I would be required to cover the rest of the costs that my Best Beginnings scholarship didn’t cover ($710 extra) OR “If your hours of care can be reduced we could reduce the cost in line with the tuition sheet I provided.” How…as a single parent could I reduce my hours of work and still afford to live in Bozeman with a cap of $17 per hour for full time employment or else I have to pay out of pocket for child care costs as I would lose our scholarship if I even made $17.50 an hour? I’m also wondering if the owner is now requiring all other Best Beginnings recipients to follow this new procedure.

Once I secured a better place for my son, I asked for his belongings to be collected so I could pick them up. This process was achieved by the staff, who also left my son’s refrigerated pouches out for hours rather than in the fridge until I picked everything up. We are on food stamps and the assistant director knows this. I voiced that I was upset that 7 pouches had been left out to spoil. The assistant director acted callously towards me after voicing my frustration.

Other issues:

Upon signing my son up, I was charged $300 for a deposit as a single mother. Deposit fees are typically waived for single parents at most schools, but to each their own.

Food is not provided, which isn’t a huge deal, a lot of schools don’t either but this school also asks you to provide everything including bibs, sippy cups, plates, and community wipes.

Let’s talk about community wipes. The school originally asked for 1 package of wipes per month from each child (which was a mess for them to keep track of and I was asked even after bringing some in to bring in more), but has come to realize this does not sustain an entire month’s worth of use. Also, how does a school charging $1700 per month for a full time toddler spot not provide wipes for the families?

Constant turnover of staff.

Montana Kids Daycare

They are great here when it comes down to the kids. However my first time entering the building was not a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. It got better over the years and my children have progressed amazingly so I do recommend Montana Kids for your child’s learning.

If you are rich and entitled by all means this is your place! But my poor southern kids were told they weren't the image this place wanted.my son cries because he thinks he did something wrong! Shame on this place

Need to stop hiring teenagers and hire actual mom's that know how to take care of kids and babies.

British Swim School of Maple Knoll Village

The Instructors are awesome and their pool is heated prefect for the Winter. The Instructors goals are  for you to learn how to swim no matter your age or ability
Judgement free. I was nervous to learn mostly because I was embarrassed about being an adult learning but the instructors are awesome. Their goal is to teach anyone that wants to learn and that's it.

Taylor Mill KinderCare

Having my child at Rainbow Child Care puts me at ease knowing she is receiving the best care around. All the staffs are very caring and are great with the kids. My daughter has been attending this school since she was 13 months old and we have not had one problem. They have structured classrooms and allow for a fun place for the kids to learn!

This is the first daycare we have ever sent our only child to, so finding a good and trustworthy place was a nerve-racking experience. The staff at Taylor Mill KinderCare put our minds at ease. We have been very happy to have our son here. He loves going to "school" every morning. He actually waits by the door to leave. It's been a great experience for we first-timers.

We have been happy with Rainbow for the last 8 years!  Both of our daughters (now 9 and 7) started pre-school here and currently use the after school program a few days a week.  We love the flexibility of the after school program.  We have ALWAYS loved the teachers and staff.  They genuinely care for and love our children,  In all of the years our girls have attended Rainbow, we've had no issues or complaints.  There is no other place we would consider sending our girls!

The entire staff at Rainbow is exceptional. My children have been going here for 2+ years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with them. When I drop them off, I know they are going to get all the love, nourishment, and educational experiences any mother would want for their child. Rainbow is like a big extended family. Always caring for and loving your children! I would recommend them to everyone.

My daughter absolutely loves Rainbow! In the four months that she has been there, she has learned so much from her teachers and it shows in her everyday activities! I'm very pleased with the curriculum that is taught as well! My daughter warmed up fast and has made many friends there! It's a great place to bring your child and I know she's always in good hands with Ms. Rhonda!

Kiddie Academy of West Chester

Kiddie academy of West Chester is an excellent school. My 2 years daughter and 3 years old son loves it there! Teacher's are involved in day to day activities, to advance our kids w/challenges needed to prolong their education. We receive updates daily via phone, including photos. I have a piece of mind, knowing my kids is in a safe environment.
Love it! Highly recommend 🙂

What an amazing experience!  From the time my husband and I walked into the building we felt like family.  Ms. Alexis, the Assistant Director was so friendly and helpful.  She answered all of our questions (even when I thought they where silly).  Being a first time mother can be a little overwhelming.  Ms. Melinda was so sweet.  I was mess leaving my son for the first time.  Melinda was there every step of the way.  I never felt like I was being rushed or was on a time frame to have to leave.  That first day was the hardest but Ms. Melinda made it so much better by sending me a picture every hour so that I was reassured he was happy.  The classroom is always so clean and organized (I don't know how she does it with 10 babies).  Even on days that have a rough drop off I know my little man will be fine in just a few minuets.  Ms. Jennifer the director is always ready to get extra snuggles in when ever needed no matter how busy she is.  It is obvious that our child is always the priority when he is at school.  When it was time for him to move to the next classroom I was nervous again (my baby was growing up too fast).  Ms. Abbe made sure to take the time with me that I needed to feel safe and secure about his transition.  Since moving up he is coming home with so many new tricks.  He loves all of the art and sensory activities.  He is also already starting to use a spoon! At 13 months!  We could go on and on about how amazing this school is.  Thank you Kiddie Academy for all you do for my family.  We know our little man is happy, safe and healthy in your care.

I was impressed with the tour and thought this would be a great place for my 5 month old daughter. I was wrong. They are never consistent in care. My daughter has come home with welts so bad from a diaper rash and not one person informed me of this I found of for myself when I took her home. My wife picked her up from a teachers arms and she was burning up with a fever over 101 and they didn’t even bother to check and said “ I thought she felt a little warm” and couldn’t figure out why she would t eat well she was sick with fever! My daughter came home with pink eye and when I mentioned it to the teacher she stated that some kids looked to be getting gunky eyes but it was just a cold. Well it wasn’t, it was pink eye. If they thought something was going around in the classroom they should have let parents know so we could keep an eye on it. On the day she had a horrible fever and they were just oblivious we withdrew her immediately. Her morning teacher was great but she had other duties and wasn’t able to be with her during the whole day multiple teachers come in  . I will continued to steer friends and family away from this daycare. There is other stuff but this was some of the main things and she was only there for a month!

My husband and I love all the teachers and staff that we have been involved with! You can tell they truly care about the kiddos, and (especially as a new mommy) it's comforting to know that my child will be well taken care of while I'm at work everyday. I even get photo and video updates throughout the week, which always brightens my day. :)

My daughters had been treated not so well at a previous daycare. We enrolled them into Kiddie Academy of West Chester and haven't looked back! They absolutely love their classes and teachers! Kiddie Academy also offers extra classes (ex. WEBBY Dance) and my oldest daughter LOVES it! We are looking forward to a bright future with Kiddie Academy of West Chester. It was the best thing we could have done for our children!

Learning Express Child Development Center

By far the best daycare I’ve ran across !! My daughter has been going here for about 6 months she is in the one year old class. I have zero complaints. My daughter has learned so much since she started I have gotten so many compliments on her speech and how much she knows and I honestly owe it to this daycare! The owners and employees are so kind and welcoming I’m never worried about my child or her well-being.

Best place. All around love it and so does my daughter.

The Learning Experience -Blue Ash

The owners lied about their opening day, they mislead me as a Director. They strung me along for over 4-5 months. I would never trust them nor join there new school.

Strum Rock School

Aside from the name being so cool, my hubby and grandson (10 yr.) are having the best time! Dan is the epitome of patience and knowledge! And so kind, too. I think I have a couple of future rock stars! Thanks, Dan!!

Dan is an accomplished touring guitarist with lots of experience. He has a high set of standards with a passion for learning and teaching guitar.

My son took lessons at Strum for the very first time last week. This music school is so cool because my son is getting practice reminders sent to his cell phone so he won't forget to practice. My son loves it. So many features. Strum Rock School even has an app. Wow, how cool is that?! My son can log his practice time and track his progress. We are thrilled that Strum is so modern.

My son has been taking bass lessons at Strum Rock School  for over 3 years. He has a pleasantly competent and kind instructor and I love the fact that all the lessons are also available in a digital format too.  Great experience!

The lessons at Strum Rock School are unique and fun for my son and daughter.  Everyone I have spoken to at the recital agrees. Great learning platform and  amazing teachers.

Play & Learn

We LOVE Play & Learn. Our daughter started in the nursery at 7 weeks old and not once have I had to worry. You receive a daily report on how your child's day was, which is so great! The entire staff is so friendly! The facility is very clean. I highly recommend Play & Learn to anyone who is looking for childcare!!

Play and Learn has taken care of our precious child since he was a few months old.  We never had any doubt that our son had the best quality of being taken care of as well as his safety. The entire staff is caring and professional.  My wife and I highly recommend Play and Learn for all of your daycare and before/after school care!!!

We love Play and Learn! All of the staff and teachers have been so wonderful to my two boys.  It is hard being away from my babies everyday but knowing that they are well taken care of, loved and learning so much helps.  I truly believe this is one of the best and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, clean, nurturing environment for their children.

Play & Learn is the best child care! We have had a child (or two) there for the last 6 1/2 years. We have always had a positive experience. They take such good care of our children while helping them to learn. The staff is wonderful and caring! Highly recommend!

I have an infant at Play and Learn and love it. The owner is fantastic and so are the teachers. I can relax knowing my little girl is safe and happy each day. Experienced many other daycares that weren’t near as great with my first child so Play and Learn has been a blessing! Also feels so clean which is a huge plus!!!

School of Rock

So I took my son for a trial run with a group of kids at this school last week on a Monday at the Madison Rd location, which he was so excited about, so he went in with (i forget her name..jenny?) and he was just excited about all the instruments, it was only him and another boy. I guess my son was too much for her because she said that he was not really focused on just one instrument and kind of all over the place and recommend Music Therapy because she is a music therapist and that an hour was too much for him, ( I was kind of shock and a little hurt that I didn't even ask her any other questions, but said ok and left) but she didn't recommend her services for a personal session or anything, so my husband called the next day and asked about the lady (the music therapist) that did the trial run with Aaron if she can call him back and recommend her services or if she has a referral. its been a little over a week and she has not returned his call. I also did tell them in the beginning he has a vision impairment) I just wish someone would of reached out and recommended something because my son loves music and he is not a bad kid.

This place is great! My daughter took an intro lesson to see what she thought.  Being a teen she was nervous at first and hesitant to go.  Came out of the building happy and excited.  She loves her instructor and what’s she is learning.  She would go every day if possible.  They are professional, warm, fun, and friendly. My child loves this place!
They have a cool program where you can do lessons on your instrument or voice. And then, if you choose to you can join a band also which meets there weekly.  You get to decide what level you sign up for.  It’s been a huge hit with my kiddo! Wish I had signed my older child up years ago.
They offer a really great program and we are so happy a friend turned us on to it!
No one asked for this review- we are just that happy about it.

Was really good instructor was patient and no pressure at all will go back.
