Rhonda Bielik and Carol Sloman have no business working in the field of education, especially in a Montessori setting as they appear to have no concept of the underlying theory that true Montessori schools embody. After contracts were signed, arbitrary rules were randomly created and caused unease for students and families alike. Some of the arbitrary rules consisted of: no bento boxes, no small treats of any kind in lunch boxes, although Rhonda assumed that she could give our children cookies when she wanted to do so without any parent communication, parents are not allowed in the building for pick up or drop off, Rhonda deciding one day that if a student took their socks off, she would throw the socks in the garbage. Upon determining that this center did not meet appropriate standards for a variety of reasons, we requested to fairly terminate the contract by offering more than reasonable financial compensation. We were met with extortionate demands and ultimately threatened with legal action. Rhonda and Carol have proven through various mishandled incidents that they either do not care when it comes to the families entrusting them with the safety, well-being, and education of our children or they simply lack the knowledge to be able to make responsible decisions. Whenever there was an issue (which there frequently was), our children would have to inform us of the issue because Rhonda and/or Carol certainly would not; this resulted in parents needing to get in contact with someone at the center. When contact was finally made, Rhonda attempted to gaslight the parents and instill fear to avoid taking any sort of accountability for her lack of care. There is a promise of communication and the only time that promise came to fruition was when Rhonda or Carol wanted money or when Rhonda insisted that families pack into an ant-infested room to watch our children walk across the "stage" once and call it a play. As far as the day-to-day occurrences such as our children's safety or happiness, it was treated as if the happenings were secret, when in reality Rhonda and Carol simply just want to be left alone and do it their way and in our experience, are absolutely unwilling to open their minds to any ideas outside of their realm of comfort. Constructive feedback was met with stonewalling or outright ignored. If you care about your child's development, social emotional well-being, and/or general safety, I strongly advise you to not even give this center a chance.
