  My family loves this school! My daughter started in the Young Toddler program at 18 months, and she had never been in a daycare situation before. I was nervous about the transition, but the teachers were so caring and warm that she was immediately comfortable and happy. The staff is friendly and responsive, and the classrooms are bright and welcoming. Even in the younger classrooms, the toys and activities are chosen with care to be fun and engaging while clearly providing the basis for both physical and mental skills. Since then, my daughter has transitioned to the Toddler and now the Casa classrooms, and the positive effects of her Montessori experience are extremely evident. She is polite, engaged, focused, and independent in ways that are beyond what you would expect of a child her age. Strangers stop me to comment on how clear and advanced her speech is, and her grandparents and other distant relatives comment on her independence and skill every time they visit. My daughter looks forward to school every day, and when I pick her up she is always smiling. That is the most important thing to me, and the reason we will always be a Montessori family--my daughter is not only thriving, but is gaining a love of learning and a high self-esteem from a school environment that supports her in every way. Truly, I cannot recommend this school enough.
