Our son has been there about 6 months now and gets excellent care. He always comes home with crafts and activities and the teachers know him very well.

Our daughter is thriving at Greater Montessori, we love the curriculum, teachers, location and hours. We plan to enroll our second child whenever he/she arrives. The director and owner are always there to speak about any concerns or questions you may have. Sometimes when I pick my daughter up, she doesn’t want to leave because she’s having such a great time. I highly recommend it!

We enrolled our child last year from May 2016 and she loves to go to school, her ability to remember things has improved significantly and the curriculum is outstanding. We never had any issues with the teachers or the management. It has got nice space for kids to play inside as well when the weather outside is not good for playing. All the teachers were certified by Montessori and they take really good care. Ms. Hope and Ms. Martha are a great and all the kids love them.
The recent addition of Yoga on Mondays made the kids so excited to go to school. We love the weekly updates from the teachers and pictures that are uploaded to the online portal and also how easy it is communicate using the portal.

We started our first child at GMS in June 2018 when she was 2 years old and she has flourished – she has learned so much over the years she has been there and the teachers really do care for the children like they are their own. Now almost 5, she gets mad if I pick her up too early because she just enjoys being at school.
We started our second child there in August 2019 at 3.5 months old and she has a blast at school. She loves being around her friends and LOVES all of her teachers.
The involvement, activities, curriculum, and atmosphere are exactly what we were looking for when trying to decide on childcare.
