Watson Hall has been a wonderful preschool and kindergarten environment for both of my children! They have had a wonderful Montessori education and left well prepared for kindergarten and beyond. Extra lessons often include music, ASL, and foreign language. The teachers and leaders of the school are terrific and caring. We've also made great friends at the school - the sense of community is wonderful. I would recommend Watson Hall to anyone!

I have waited a year to write my review but Watson Hall was the single worse experience I have ever had for my child's education. My son Zach has had difficulty in school and we entered him into Watson Hall's kindergarten program. They make you pay $1,800 tuition up front, as first and last month. We explained to the directors about Zach's struggles but they assured us they could work with him and us. Well six weeks into the academic year and their teachers had no clue how to help our son. Through tons of confusion because they have poor communication, I was told Zach could not return without a diagnosis and treatment plan. When we agreed Watson Hall was not the place for my son, they would NOT return us our $945 for the last month tuition which we simply lost. My wife and I home schooled our son last year, got him therapeutic help. enrolled him in karate, have worked with self guided meditation and he is doing Awesome! With NO help from Watson Hall. They will take your money and leave you to fend for yourself.

We should have known this place was bad news from the jump. I actually did. There were a lot of red flags early on such as communication and response times. They have no Administration. And what little they have, is very disorganized. Trying to get them on the phone is virtually impossible. Trying to call the school is virtually impossible which should never happen. Their Montessori teachers leave at 3 and then you are left with an after-care teacher who is not Montessori trained and and the day totally does a flip-flop. These teachers were constantly yelling at my child and placing him in isolated punishment. He was 4 at the time. My son had a really tough time with this. His behavior went downhill. When he first arrived at the school he was able to spell his name and write out letters. By the time we pulled him out, he had lost all if those skills. We tried to give the school the benefit of the doubt because they are independent and black. But time after time we were met with disappointment. We observed our son's Behavior was declining and tried to schedule a meeting with the school principal\owner. It took us almost a month to get an actual sit down because the principal and admin are not stationed at the school. By that point it was too late. I would not recommend this school to anyone. When we decided to pull him out of the school, we sent an email explaining our actions and thanking them. We didn't get one response, not even a call. I am now currently trying to just get someone to respond to me so I can file my taxes and I haven't heard from anyone in a week. And the last point is this school is not cheap. It's over $1,000 a month. You do not get what you pay for. I do not recommend this school.
