We have 4 year old twins that have attended MCHD since they were two years old. We adore the school. The birch location has so much charm, being an original farmhouse. From the moment you walk in and see the cubbies to when you walk around the school, you just feel something special. It has been a home away from home for my children and a wonderful, loving and perfect introduction to learning. My daughter learned to read at the school and my son is very interested in space and math. We are now in the process of enrolling our youngest child. On a personal level, we have met great family friends at the school. I would highly recommend this school. It is delightful.
We have two kids attending the Stapleton campus; a 2 year old and a 7 year old. It's expensive but worth every penny. Our kids are so very happy and LEARNING. Montessori has a reputation sometimes of just being touchy-feely, but the teachers are extremely involved and really help kids with focus and motivation. Bravo and thank you.
Admittedly, my child has only been attending this school for about two months attending the Hilltop campus/primary class, but I have seen a noticeable improvement in him since he started. I like the school community and have not felt that the school/parents are too "snobby" as I have heard some parents say about other nearby schools. I am happy with the education so far and plan to keep my son in the Montessori Children's House as long as possible.
My daughters attended MCHD. The school has shown my daughters how to apply theories to the real world. Several years later, Ruby Kate is still pointing out principles that she learned at MCHD. The instruction and curriculum is top notch. The caring community at the school really does illustrate how much the nurturing and education of the students is the focus.
Our son has been with MCHD since he was a toddler. His social and cognitive skills are testament to the quality and care of his teachers and the warm cozy classrooms. He will be in Kindergarten next year, so we could choose another school, but wouldn't even consider it! He has done so well and our family has fit right into the community.
Our daughter has attended MCHD the last two years at the Birch St. location. We love this school! The teachers are top notch, the administration is great, parent involvement is high. MCHD has been a great fit for our family.
We love the warm, nurturing environment, great teacher-student ratio, and individualized curriculum. Our child is thriving here. It is important to visit each school you are considering to see if it is the right fit for your child's needs. Each child is unique.
Sometimes the approach deviates slightly from the Montesorri method, as spelled out by montessori.org. Many of the afternoon/afterschool personnel are not Montessori trained and that can be very discouraging. Administration is not a cohesive unit and can be challenging. Classroom environment is very rich in Montessori 'gadgets.'
Excellent school. My daughter has attended for 2 years and she is thriving! The teachers are very interactive and take an interest in her learning.
This school is great. The teachers care so much about the children and their growth. The teachers focus on the child's whole development. Excellent programs available, including art enrichment, dance, etc.
