Junior Achievers Montessori Vorna Valley

The principal of this school is unprofessional, lacks communication skills, has little to no management skills. My child has been a scholar at Junior Achievers Montessori for close to 2 years, in that period, we have had to put up with:
1. Inconveniences caused by the school where in very short notice we were told to not bring our scholars to school because they either are:
1.1. using the school premises as a voting station (meaning our paid services go to waste for at least 3 days) and in that period we must find our own alternative care giver.
1.2. there is no water in the school. No contingency plan is put in place therefore, because of poor planning we are told in the morning not to bring our scholar in. No mention of how this particular day would be paid back to us.

In addition to that, we have experienced:
2. Little kickers which is usually scheduled for Fridays does not take place each and every Friday. As parents we are not made aware of this and no mention of how our monies are recovered.
3. Broadcast communication/chain messages sent to parents during weekends, public holidays and even late in the evenings. It is so inappropriate.
4. Waiting outside afterschool for 20 minutes for someone to help at the door.
5. Being encouraged to keep our children home during religious holidays we don't adhere to.
6. Condescending tones in messages sent to us on WhatsApp implying our child was a poor performer. When interrogated then we get the true and honest report.

The pace in which our child has been learning in the school has been impressive and this is why we have stomached this treatment for so long. However, the breaking point was when the principal had her own water issues at the school and decided to not take accountability, provide alternative means of handling her short comings, and became extremely rude and disrespectful. She uttered disrespectful and infuriating remarks on WhatsApp and when we went to the school to address the matter she decided not to address us, walked out and drive off. She has indicated that she will refund our school fees immediately which she hasn't. For an institution which is associated with highly prestigious brand such as Montessori, the Principal has brought shame to the name and is singlehandedly dragging it in the mud. I would not recommend anyone to send their child to Junior Achievers Montessori Vorna Valley if she is still part of the school.

DISGUSTING
This school has the worst management.They are practically stealing money from people.The extra mural program is a fraud Little Kickers should be ashamed.They have no respect for black parents there is no diversity in the school as in no white students for a reason .Untrained staff , senior management is rude and has poor attitude towards black students .Yells , shouts and taunts students . refund nothing!!! Racist or bias behavior but not a montessori

This school is the worst...it looks good on the inside but the owners way of running business sucks ,I've paid registration fees and school fees in march 2020 for my son to start in April ,I asked her for a refund back once we realised covid has come around and she promised for months to give it back till we gave up asking and we suggested she use those fees for my son's January 2021 fees she then accepted it and a few days later states he has no place in the school since she has reached her max capacity for registration when I ask for a refund back she then tells me she cant refund my fees back only my school fees ,how does that make sense when my son hasn't even entered the doors of her school yet and shes the one who turned him away. Now my son has to suffer due to her ignorance ....pathetic worst ever she lies through her ñ
teeth!Dont let her scam you too!
