My wife and I feel very fortunate that we found VMS. Our daughter has been a student there for close to 8 years, since she was 18 months old. We have been most pleased with the independence, self-confidence, and creativity that VMS has helped to foster in her. The training in courtesy, grace, and interpersonal skills that she’s received there is also an aspect that is important to us. When our daughter was 6, in order to save money, we withdrew her from VMS and enrolled her in public school. Although she still excelled there and even qualified for the gifted program, we saw her passion for learning and creating, that once burned so brightly, start to dim. We withdrew her after 7 months and enrolled her back at VMS. Within two weeks, the fire was there again, and now, two years later, is still burning brightly.

Our son graduated the Montessori method after the adolescent program. He went on to high school confident, capable, and a strong sense of self! Thank you Village!

We wanted an alternative to traditional school, somewhere that learning could start at a very young age. The inclusion of Practical Life as part of the learning environment was also a big selling point for us. The more we learned about the science behind Montessori methods, the more this made sense to us.

As a parent, Village Montessori School has provided a caring learning environment for my daughter, and is almost an extension of our family. We appreciate the professional and Friendly attitude of all the staff.

Not all Montessori schools are created equal- There is a lot more to look for besides the Montessori materials. Village has the qualities that Montessori schools should have – well-trained teachers and staff, beautiful classrooms, and expansive outdoor environments. Most importantly, they respect the child.

We wanted our daughter to develop as a whole person and not a ‘people pleaser’ as we were. Village instilled independence, a love of learning, a strong sense of community, empathy and care for others.
