I have such fond memories of learning in a Montessori classroom as a child and found Montessori Day School because I wanted my child to experience the same excitement for learning that I did. Teachers at MDS are both nurturing and engaging and meet each child at their level with individualized instruction and they know how to keep kids motivated, build their confidence, and teach them to persevere when things are challenging. I feel incredibly lucky that my child’s first encounter with school has been so rich and wonderful!

It is a joy to observe the children work and play at MDS. I am always impressed that I hear the children’s voices, not the teacher’s when I visit. The classroom or “children’s house” is perfectly suited to their needs and is beautiful. I love that you use natural materials in the classroom and offer so many opportunities for children to learn outside.

Our family is sad to say goodbye to MDS! When I found this school I felt it was special but had no idea it would help my daughters gain such confidence as early learners. They have made friends who will forever be their “Montessori friends” and teachers that they know will always care. Thank you Mary for establishing a preschool that is every parent’s dream!

The children here seem so happy and walk around the classroom with such purpose. The Montessori method is amazing in itself but it is wonderful to see it implemented in such a thoughtful, caring way.

MDS is all that we could have hoped for in a preschool. The teachers truly care and are passionate about teaching. We are so lucky to have found a school that prepares our children academically while respecting the abilities of each individual child and the developmental needs and stages of young children. Most importantly, my children love learning and look forward to each new day of fun, engaging activities.

MDS is a wonderful preschool! Our children have grown into such bright, inquisitive, and caring little people in large part due to all of the nurturing and love that they have received there. Not to mention all of the support and encouragement we as parents received through the years. Everyone who steps into a classroom or sees the work being done in the outdoor classroom sees the magical environment the children have to learn and grow in.

MDS is the most beautiful community. We are so happy and blessed to be a part of it!

Words cannot express how grateful we are that our daughters got to attend MDS. Both girls have learned so much and not only academics but also about being kind and caring. They have made memories for a lifetime.
