Montessori Nest & Children's House

I love the Montessori philosophy but was completely turned off by this school. The director was rude and snobby, the place felt like a cold institution as opposed to a warm learning environment..Unfortunate

This is really a wonderful school. I've had two children here for 5 years now, starting at age 1 1/2. All the teachers are great, and the classroom materials are top notch. Don't be put off by the exterior of the school and grounds, its what happens everyday in the classroom that matters. The school has a close-knit family atmosphere, my kids know the names of everyone at the school. If you are going to commmit to Montessori, educate yourself on the philosophy and don't compare your kid to those in traditional school. I do think it works best for kids who are really enthusiastic about school and are self starters, but all the children seem to thrive. If you're going to put your child in the primary class, its best to start them off early (2 1/2-3) and give them 3 years in the class to get the full benefit.

This is an amazing school that follows the true Montessori method. It gives young children a strong concrete foundation for math, science, reading, writing, the love of learning. and following a task from initiative through completion. The teachers are very passionate about what they do and understand the child's sensitive learning periods to a science.
