Great place for kids to grow. They are extremely diligent in their curriculum. My daughter has improved so much in the last 4 months. The institution has excellent teachers and management. They are very caring and loving to the children. I ll recommend this place for every reason.

2 stars because we loved the teachers but they have all since left. I assume it's because upper management is HORRIBLE here. My son attended GVM for 2 years. Our experience was great up until the last year. Communication with the directors were lacking. Everything from weekly reports to organizing events were lacking. The biggest reason why we left was because the teachers lost track of one student. The child was found in the parking lot by another parent. After that incident, they tried to brush it off even after multiple parents emailed asking for more information. Management did not want to give us any time to speak or ask questions initially. It wasn't until the parents banded together to demand answers.

My daughter Rubena attended GVM for close to 2.5 years and left this summer to start KG. She still misses all her friends and teachers at GVM. She was very fond of Miss Runu and Miss Emilda, both of whom were very caring and encouraged her to learn. She had a wonderful time at GVM and I am very happy with the attention she got from her teachers. The director Miss Sushma was also very fond of her and was always affectionate. We are happy that GVM and her teachers provided a nurturing and caring environment and her first years of school will remain as fond memories.

If there was an option of 0 stars, I'd do that! Very disappointing experience.. the reviews you see must be super old because right now the school, the teachers , the faculty , everything is horrible.. no sufficient answers from the higher ups and definitely not the price worthy .. very poor

I've tried calling so many times! How do they have students if they are not responding to emails or touring this school? We stopped for a tour and we were rudely told that they do not do walk ins and to call but no one is picking up the phone????

Over the past year under the new management, the quality of faculty, their training and handling of children has gone down. The Montessori label is very misleading as the teachers aren't certified. Their communication style, methods do NOT reflect the montessori method. The old faculty was very good but over the past 9 months the quality has gone down. The faculty changes every few months which impacts the stability of the children. They also aren't able to effectively manage or pay attention to the child's needs as a result.

I want to thank GVM and all its faculty for a wonderful 15 months for my son Vihaan. I only have good things to say about the positive influence GVM Dolphin teachers Ms.Rinku , Ms.Sherry , Ms.Cassandra have had on Vihaan P.Special thanks to Ms.Rinku - Vihaan has really bloomed under her firm but gentle guidance. Vihaan has learned to eat properly , use the toilet standing for pee, learn to read and write and so much more under Ms.Rinku's able care. I have also been advised by Ms.Rinku about the kind of foods ideal for lunch for Vihaan - something so valuable because of which I can easily prepare food prep for him. I'd really like to extend my sincere thanks to Ms.Rinku and we hope she is at GVM to help shape Vihaan's sister Saakshi.This past Friday , as parents we are second guessing if leaving GVM is the right choice, thanks to such good times. Mother's Day and Graduation Day were wonderful events and we were so heartwarmed to participate in those and see Vihaan do so well. We are really hoping GVM keeps up the good work and we will always have only one preschool to recommend - GVM

My son had nice experience at GVM (jacklin) location. Teachers efforts are commendable. He was in dolphin group and ms rinku took great care of kids. She spent time to understand the child and found ways around it. She has got new levels of creativity in circulium. She is always very considerate to child's need and works hard for their academic focus. I can see her efforts in child's confidence and his progress. I am excited for my younger son to take this learning journey with her as well. She is great resource for GVM and thank you for hiring her.

Great school.My 5 year old son went to GVM for 3 years and my daughter has been going there for 1 year now. The amount of love, caring given by Ms. Selva and the staff have continuously exceeded my expectations.Child 1: When my son joined GVM, he took a little bit to get adjusted. Being only 2 years old, he was still learning to eat and nap on his own. Ms. Kat and Ms. Selva ensured he ate his food and snacks, a lot of times they had to feed him. If he resisted napping, they didn't force. Everything at GVM is done with a lot of care towards the child. My son, in the following years, looked forward to going to GVM every single day. He appreciated all his teachers, Ms. Shivangi, Ms. Ishrat, Ms. Kat, Ms. Rekha, Ms. Selva. They are all fantastic and loving.Ms. Selva, is the director of the program. She is very playful and kids enjoy being around her thoroughly. She is also a great teacher. My son is now going to summer camp at a different school but is missing GVM very dearly. He misses all these wonderful teachers.Education at GVM is at par with all other private schools. At 5 , my son is fluent in reading and is well prepared for Kindergarten. The staff at the school knew the areas that my son needed help with and worked with him continuously for improvements. He went from being a very shy kid to a very interactive child. He listens very well, and is not shy any more to speak up.Child 2: My daughter since last 1 week has had episodes where she didnt want to go to school. The support I have received from Ms. Kat is nothing short of exemplary. Ms. Kat has worked with me, as a team, on this situation. She gave me ideas like bringing her early to school so that she would chat and play with her before other kids come in and that would give my daughter enough time to get adjusted. Ms. Kat kept me informed all through the day on how my daughter was doing. I could see how hard Ms. Kat was trying to keep my daughter happy and interested in her tasks so that she doesn't ask about going back home again.Besides Ms. Kat, my daughter also appreciates Ms. Alicia and Ms. Rinku. These are new teachers but there is so much warmth in them that kids like them immediately.General:i) Report cards: They provide detailed reports on the child 2 times a year and anytime the parents want. These are quite helpful to understand how your child is doing overall, right from social skills to academics.ii) Hygiene & Safely during Covid: My kids resumed in GVM in august 2020. The school has taken utmost care during covid times and they continue to do so. They have kept up with the county's directions and have communicated policies very clearly to parents regularly.iii) Performances and events: Pre-covid GVM organized kids performances at least 3-4 times a year. A lot of hard work is put in by the teachers and kids in these shows. Additionally, they used to organize events where parents are encouraged to join. I personally met most of the kids and their parents during these events. Some of those parents are good friends now. I am hoping 2022 and onwards GVM can resume those events and performances again.I highly recommend this place to all parents.I am very thankful for the love, growth and caring that these exceptional teachers have given to my kids.

This will be the final review I will write for this school as my son has graduated from Global Village after spending three wonderful years there. Combined with the two years my daughter spent there, I have been sending my kids to this school for over five years now. Since there are so many things that come into play for selecting a day care / pre-school I wanted to touch on a few things on why we would recommend this place to others (which we have to a lot of our friends and family). To start, the staff here are wonderful. Mrs. Selva, Mrs. Ada, Ms. Kat, and Mrs. Shivangi are kind caretakers with a wealth of knowledge, experience and most of all patience!! They know how to handle all sorts of issues and keep parent's involved in their child's development. I simply can't praise them enough for the work they have done in watching, and teaching my kids. Secondly, my child is well prepared for kindergarten after graduating from pre-school here. As a point of reference, I bought one of those workbooks from Costco where it goes over all the lesson plans my child should go over in K. I have my kids do that this workbook in the summer between pre-K and K to see if they are prepared for the next step. They went through the K workbook through the summer with minimum instruction from me outside of telling them what they are suppose to do. Mind you they did this GOING into K. In addition, kids get a comprehensive education. On top of just learning of all the things above, my kids learned things like basic memorization for public speaking, dancing, other cultures and religions (i.e. Daliwali, Chinese New Years), and life skills. Most importantly, my kids are happy. They enjoy coming to GVM to play with there friends and often times, despite spending all day with their friends at school, they often play in the front of the school while the parents talk. Its a sign that they are in an environment that allows them to learn successfully. I would recommend this place to parents.
