The Wilton Montessori School has been wonderful for both of my children. They loved attending the school and my last child just recently left the school for first grade. I personally volunteered at the school many times and was always impressed with the learning that was going on in the classroom as well as the respect for others that ocurred in that school. I wish that our public schools could be as nice and friendly. The Montessori principals have enabled my children to accel at both math and reading in public schools. My friends and neighbors are always impressed with my children's behavior and knowledge. Whenever anyone asks me for a recommendation I always suggest Wilton Montessori. Kimberly Olson
In June 2008, our daughter will finish her third year at Wilton Montessori and we consider her time there our best decision of any we made in the entire move to this area. Many parents in Fairfield County believe themselves to be education experts (even those who were dismal students themselves) and will try to be 'involved' in their children's education. This is not a school they will be happy with, as the teacher here believes in her time-proven methods without parental 'suggestions'. Parents are fully informed and are given ample time to observe classroom time. There is no arguing with results, as my daughter will graduate kindergarten fully reading, writing, adding, subtracting, and knowing more geography than most adults (continents, oceans, >100 countries on map). Former students have finished in the top of the high school classes of highly competitive public and private schools. This school is a true find.
This is an absolutely amazing school! We've put two children through it and they've both thrived here. They enjoy going every day, miss it when they aren't there and are learning more than we could have ever imagined. I would recommend this school for any and every child. Kids love it and so do 99.9% of parents. Our oldest child is now in 2nd grade, is a joy for her teachers and is in advanced reading and math classes thanks to this school.
The director and principal educator of Wilton Montessori brings to her children a wealth of knowledge, over 30 years of experience, love for the child and a 100% understanding of the child's psyche. The child comes first in this school and it is out of respect for the ability of the child that the teacher encourages independence at the very beginning. If anyone has any knowledge of the Montessori method, they will see that the teacher cultivates a warm nurturing environment for the child to achieve his/her best at their own pace but at an unimaginable capacity. There is nothing militaristic about the teacher or the school,It is one of the best montessori schools in the country and we are so blessed as a family to have this lady teach our children and be in our lives.b
