Montessori School of Sonoma

My kids went to this school for 3 years. We decided to send our kids there after seeing how wonderfully precocious, confident and academically successful the kids from our boss turned out. (They went there several years before.) The leadership is phenomenal. The teachers are well-versed on the Montessori method and there is a talented mix of aides that make the whole experience first class. The school is next to a field with animals (sheep) that give the children a sense of farm and seasons. We have now seen 5 or 6 children grow through the years in this little town into fine young children and adults. What could be better? One more thing. In our opinion, keep your child there through kindergarten. Although the enrollment is small in this grade, it gives the children a chance to be 'the biggest,' and to lead a bit. We're so grateful for this school!

Both of my sons went to this school from the time they were 2 years old until they graduated from kindergarten. I feel it's the best school any parent and kid can have. The Montessori philosophy is great and both my kids went into amazing learning paths in their years at that school (from sign language, to foreign cultures, to nature, to art and music.) They are now in 5th and 1st grade and in all the advance classes at their new school. Their current teachers are amazed by their self esteem and the broad knowledge. I cannot say enough the importance of keeping them at Montessori through Kindergarten. They become the leaders of the class plus with are just 5 or 6 kindergartens on each class the ratio teacher/student is enviable I wish they could have stay through grammar school.
