Naperville Montessori School

I think this is one of the best schools my son has gone to, he went last year and didn't know any English at all, by December he started to talk more and the teachers are wonderful, by May he spoke more English then spanish, I thank all the teachers and staff for being so kind to me and my son.

We have 2 children enrolled at Naperville Montessori, and we love the school! The teachers are serious but nurturing professionals, and I am thoroughly impressed with our kids' academic progress. I'm even more impressed with the way our kids embrace learning now. I'm a believer in Montessori anyway, but the staff at this school truly excels. My one complaint is the expensive uniforms. I don't understand why the school requires parents to purchase logo-ed clothing from Land's End - other than the kickback, which angers me.

We are thrilled with the diversity of the staff and students and find that it is a great place for children to learn and grow. Each child is respected and nurtured and parents are actively involved in the school. I have seen such a difference in my child since she started at the school. She is confident, kind, independent and is learning so many new things. I have recommended this school to my neighbors and friends and can not say enough good things about our experience at Naperville Montessori. All I can say if you have any questions, call the school or stop in for a visit. You will like what you see!

My child has been going to this school for quite some time now and I have been really happy with the way things are going. My child loves going to school and has grown tremendously both socially and academically. I find the teachers there to be very nurturing and caring and the school to have a very open door policy. I feel that the Administration is always on top of things and is always available for parents to answer any questions. The school is well balanced with children and staff from all different ethnicities and all classrooms have more than one teacher in every room. I would highly recommend this school to others.

This school is a joke. I have never seen such a school with such diversity issues in my life. Administration is very disorganized. Teachers are nice but can't handle spirited kids who get bored easily. Overpriced for the service and quality of education. Classes are too large for one teacher. Administration is quick to say something is wrong with the child's learning ability than to admit they have no clue how to handle strong willed children. They are definitely in this to make money...not for the children.

I am interested in sending my 3 year old to this school for the 2006-2007 school year. I took him to tour the school. The lobby is beautiful, the staff is friendly and efficient. Therefore, my first impression was good. There is one long hallway where the 8 classrooms are located. I was impressed by how many female Indian staff there are. I believe the owners are Indian. The kids seemed to be engaged and enjoying themselves. I liked the fact that some of the kids had been playing outside on the day we visited. It was probably about 40 degrees. I know some of the preschools aren't incorporating much physical exercise and that is important to us.

This is our second Montessori school, and we will look no further. The administrator, Julie Harris is devoted, pleasant, and highly organized. We love our daughter's classroom teachers. There are many extracurricular activities, such as piano lessons, martial arts, dance, and others. The parents are highly involved. Uniforms are required, which I enjoy since it means no arguments about what to wear in the morning, plus it cuts down on classroom distractions. It's a modern facility with the traditional Montessori classroom materials (exactly the type I used when I attended a Montessori in the 1970s). Student are very intelligent and well-behaved, and full of smiles. Love it!
