June 2011.  I chose this school because we took a tour of the facility and fell in love. The Montessori method seemed like a good way for our son to work on the skills he needed to grow and to fly with the skills that he excelled in. The building was inviting and comforting. Putting myself in my son’s shoes, I saw how he would fit right into the classroom and be surrounded by love and learning all day.

My son was about to turn 4 when we were looking for a new school. We were concerned about him fitting in to a program that starts at 3, but he was caught up by the first parent teacher conference in October. The admission process at the school is very simple and straightforward. I called up the school for a tour. It is recommended you do this during the school year so you can see the school in action. Before the tour began we spoke with the head of the school and she filled us in on Montessori history and the method. The tour helped us see this method in action. We sat in each of the primary (ages 3 – 5) rooms so we could compare them.  We were lucky the year we looked at the school since it had just moved into a bigger building and had plenty of openings. The school has since filled up so there may be a waiting list.

Our older son (now about to turn 6) has now been at the school for two years. He has blossomed far beyond anything I could have expected when we took the tour of the school two years ago. He has really been able to work on his challenges and grow in his strengths. He has a true love of science, math and nature. He is also not afraid to try something new and is very excited to move to the elementary room so he can learn everything he can. When he received his summer workbook he was very excited about the challenges it presented and could not wait to get started.

Our younger son joined the school last year at 16 months old. He has had quite a year in the toddler room. He quickly fell in love with all four teachers and started coming home with more and more words and knowledge under his belt. He was the youngest child in the whole school, but was not expected to do any less than the other children. This helped him grow just as much as anyone else around him and become a wonderful toddler who can do anything he sets his mind to.

Overall we have been very happy with everything and everyone at the school. Our two boys are becoming the boys we have always known they could grow to be. We are looking forward to many more years at the school.
