They don't even deserve one star. I registered my 5 year old at the Centreville Montessori in Sept 2010. He attended four days there. He started Sept 7th and that first Saturday he got sick wiht very high fevers. Of course our journey became the hospital and doctors. I had called the school few times, but nobody ever called to say what happened to Billi. My son was diagnosed with Leukemia on November 5. In Dec I called and asked to speak to the teacher since my son just loved the school and he was so happy about new friends and kindergarten there. I was very sad for me to know that, no one from the school ever called to ask about him:( I spoke to the teacher in Dec, to personally tell her that what had happened to Billi. She said, she was never told! Five month later and not a word from them yet. It is very sad to know that. I really thought my son enjoyed the school, and now he is fighting cancer, and not a phone call from Montessori! ...read more

I am suprised to see such a negative, probably biased review of the Minnieland @ Centreville Square. I have had three children now go through the programs at Centreville Square. Every Teacher we encountered was thoughtful and proffessional. Many a time staff and directors went out of their way for my children and my family. It was a warm and welcoming place where I felt my children were safe and loved. I highly recommed this facility to anyone who wants the best for their children! ...read more
