• Review of "Mater Amoris Montessori School" at Ashton-Sandy Spring
  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
  My oldest just completed 6th grade at Mater Amoris and I could not be happier with her progress and growth - both academically and socially. Most importantly, she loves learning and seeks opportunities to study, work, and research questions she has and Mater Amoris helped her with these skills. I have been a public school middle and high school teacher for many years and the level and quality of work my children produce at Mater Amoris far exceeds my expectations. As an added bonus, the location and grounds of the school are beautiful and inspiring!

• Review of "Mater Amoris Montessori School" at Ashton-Sandy Spring
  ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
  Mater Amoris is an AMI school with more than 50 years of history, and we were very excited to have our child begin with the primary program. The grounds and school itself is very nice and clean, the elementary teachers are great and we met some very nice families. For these reasons only I did not give it a terrible review. Our child was placed in a primary classroom with a new first year teacher Mrs. Tremble who called us into several conferences to discuss our child not sitting still during circle time. We as requested gave some options to help Mrs. Tremble and also asked in return for simple updates as well on positive behaviors and successes in the classroom so we can highlight and praise to encourage continued success. Although agreeing to this we never received any positive feedback from her. We agreed and were excited to have our child moved into the classroom of the founder of the school and long time montessori educator Mrs. Shae. During her time in this classroom we were brought in to several conferences where we were the following complaints were made about our child: She likes to fantasize, she needs to walk like human, she acted like a "gang member" (please note she's 4 years old), she wanted to do work above her skill level, she wouldn't sleep during nap time and she cries and throws herself on the floor. Again, we asked for simple notes in her lunch box with both successes and opportunities from that day/week which she agreed to do. We never received 1 note. We observed a couple classes and our child was well behaved and honestly seemed a bit bored in the classroom. Mrs. Shae was outwardly disappointed that our child was good. Not only did we only ever receive negative feedback from both of the primary teachers, our child told us that Mrs. Shae did not like her, this brought tears to my eyes. The final straw came when her cousin went to grandparents day. As a former educator she was impressed with the school grounds and classrooms,but was quick to let us know that her impression was Mrs. Shae did not like our child. If this was not enough we had several families come to us saying they think our child is being isolated and singled out as the "bad" kid. I can't express how sad I feel that my child was subjected to this type of treatment by education professionals, and write this review in hopes no other child is made to feel less than and not liked by their teacher(s).
