Me and my son loved the nursery from day one. In groups of 10 people, classes are held in game form, for a year the child has matured a lot, learned a lot of English words. There were problems with speech, the speech therapist taught me to pronounce the letter "P" correctly in three weeks. The son made friends, although before the kindergarten the son did not communicate with the children, he took away his toys. The teachers are very knowledgeable and kind. I'm very glad we went here.

We started going with a one and a half year old child in September to the "Mom and Baby" group. Only lasted 4 sessions. My child was stressed after each lesson, at home he cried on my knees for half an hour and ate a cracker. "Educator", if it can be called that, obviously without a higher pedagogical education. In the beginning, your child should sit quietly and listen for half an hour. This is complete nonsense. My child barely sat out for 15 minutes, then ran to the toys. I received a lot of "compliments" from this teacher. That I am not a good mother, that I have a restless child growing up, I do not do it at all, and so on. At the fourth lesson, she took the material from my child and said that there was no result, he still does not distribute colors. What does she want from a 1.5 boy?? Before me, 4 mothers with children ran away from this center for the same reason. And it costs a lot of 4500 per month twice a week for 50 minutes.
We spit on the remaining classes and left this center. I don’t want to spoil the psyche of my boy, where he is considered an idiot. At 1.7 we went to the state garden at the GKP. My son walks with pleasure, comes home happy, his teachers praise him and call him a smart, sociable boy. Even my husband and I do not have time to change his clothes there, as he runs into the group. And in two months of visiting the kindergarten, he learned a lot.

He upset the level of responsibility of the center's employees for the safety of children! A child with a pronounced wet cough went to the "Mom and Baby" classes. Several mothers spoke about this - they openly complained, but nothing was done, except for a conversation in which the mother of a sick child, of course, said that there was nothing to worry about ... this is supposedly a residual phenomenon. By the next lesson, the child and I observed the same symptoms in ourselves. As a result, we missed 2 classes, which we were technically not allowed to "work out" ... they say, there are no places in groups ... although they were just recently. And this is in the presence of a certificate from a doctor that the child was ill then and then and now is healthy !!! You see, they demand to buy a subscription for the next month. And how would you like to buy it in this situation?
Probably, it was necessary to do the same as that mother, to leave her paid days with a sick and contagious child? Is that how it works?
In general, in terms of discipline, the center is not satisfied.
Plus, there is too much free time for self-development in the classroom. Especially when there are many children (and this happened in 60% of cases), no one is going to coordinate your actions with the child. With the same success, you can practice at home. For example, we also have many of the presented materials at home.
Failed. I'm going to another club. Where for 4-5 kids in a group (thank God this is the maximum) there will be 2 teachers, I hope more qualified and attentive to the kids.
Children learn freely, at their own pace, with an individual study schedule. increased attention socialization of children, development of their skills in establishing personal relationships. Only experienced, successful, positive-minded teachers conduct work with children. Gifted children who graduate from school enter the world's best universities. We raise happy, self-confident people!

Address st. Novomaryinskaya, 12/12 building 1
This Montessori center is located on the first floor of a residential building.
room
The room consists of an entrance hall-cloakroom and reception, then 3 rooms.
The first one is small, along the wall there are shelves with Montessori toys, they were all closed with curtains so as not to attract the attention of the kids in advance.
In the second room, too, the only thing is that in the center there was a large table and children's chairs for creative work.
In the third room there was a shabby pool with inflatable balls, which I was afraid to even let Stephanie into, because she is still trying to get a taste of everything, and the balls in the pool were clearly dirty.
Staff
I didn’t really like the girl at the reception, some kind of unfriendly, dryly asked if we were going to the lesson, our last name, and after writing out a receipt, she said that we should immediately pay for the trial lesson. The teacher herself is aged, she is about 40 years old, obviously there must be experience, although I didn’t like it right away that when she asked our name, she said that she wouldn’t remember it anyway, why did she ask then ... it’s not clear !! Although we all know that the baby adapts better when addressed by name and it is even her responsibility to remember the names of her students!
How was the lesson?
There were 5 people in the group with their mothers, we gathered in a circle around Elena (I think that was her name, although I could be mistaken). They said hello, everyone rang the bell in turn, tickled their hands with a feather, read a few nursery rhymes, and danced. All this took 10-15 minutes. Next, we had to go to any of the stands with Montessori toys ourselves and play with our baby. I want to say right away that I didn’t like that the teacher didn’t really explain what toys to start with and how to interact with them in general, how to explain to the baby, because after looking at some of them for the first time, I myself couldn’t even really determine how to deal with them ..!! In the end, we all sat down at a large table and tried to roll plasticine into a sausage and sculpt a circle out of it. Of course, all this was done by mothers for the kids!
Price
A one-time lesson costs 400 rubles. Subscription for 2 times a week 2800 rubles. They do not give any cash receipts confirming payment, absenteeism, by the way, must be confirmed with an official certificate from the clinic, otherwise they will not be counted and you will lose money for missed classes.
My resume
It seems to me that this center is only a small semblance of a real Montessori center, because
1) the rooms are small, there are few Montessori materials, there are no many stands that are interesting for the baby, for example, there is no very good stand with a brush of different hardness and bags with different cereals, for which the baby could pull? I think this is a very useful thing ... I know about these materials firsthand, on rutracker you can download a Montessori disk for parents ..
2) All materials are not best quality, it is clear that they are often used by kids, I already wrote about the pool.
3) The teacher could be more active, especially with people like us who came for the first time, to explain everything in more detail. Yes, of course, I know that the Montessori technique is designed to study materials with mom and baby, but not all mothers know how to handle all Montessori materials, where to start, what materials to gradually add. Therefore, I think that it would be reasonable, of course, to introduce additional lectures for this center, first for parents, and then invite them with their children.
One of my friends from kindergarten brings her girl to this center, she likes it, so to each, of course, his own. But I would call this center PSEUDO Montessori!. This is my opinion!..
