Monroe Montessori School

My eldest daughter attended here from preschool though grade 1. My wife and I have nothing but glowing reviews for all the teachers and staff. The dedication of the staff and their very visible love of teaching make it the best school in the county. 10/10

I cannot say enough good things about Monroe Montessori School. When we first toured, the school director went out of her way to make a connection with my daughter, who is normally rather reserved. By the end of our short first visit, they were playing on the slide together and my daughter was begging to go back. This positive experience was the first of many at MMS, where we truly feel that our daughter and we as parents have all found a family. Every person at MMS I've interacted with from teachers to assistants to the school directors to fellow parents have been nothing but warm, kind, flexible and truly passionate about creating a safe and meaningful learning environment for students. As a former elementary educator myself, I was worried that I might not find a preschool program for my daughter that met my very high bar academically, but most importantly from a social-emotional perspective. Not only did MMS hit that bar, they far exceeded it. Everything about Mrs. Thompson's classroom is the perfect blend of structure and creativity; safety and flexibility. Our daughter has absolutely blossomed in her language, friendships and academic interests over the past year, and we couldn't be more thankful. Similarly, as a parent, I have been so appreciative of the opportunity to be involved in my daughter's education through multiple volunteering opportunities and social opportunities to network with families. Top to bottom, Monroe Montessori School is as high-quality a learning environment as they come. Thank you for the best year!

My son Kip had the best preschool education with this school. He is such a better human because it. Ms. Joly was amazing!! Thank you so much and I will recommend to everyone!

This is by far the best daycare, preschool and early education facility on the East Side. We have been with the school for over 4 years now and have loved every moment. The prices are more than reasonable, the facilities are fantastic, and the education and standard of care are top notch. If you want to spoil your babies, bring them here.

Three years ago we found ourselves at a parenting milestone: our child was ready for school. Montessori was a name we had heard many good things about but were unaware of what Montessori could do for our family. We enrolled our child because we liked the philosophy, the classroom materials, and the exceptional staff. We were heartened that we had made the right decision for our child when we saw how excited he was to go to school each day. What we later discovered, however, exceeded our expectations. Our son was developing a new and exciting way to view his world. He took great pride in his accomplishments and began to share this discoveries with us. What was especially exciting to see was the small steps he was taking were leading to greater things. Monroe Montessori has taught our family that the steps we take to reach a goal can be as great as its fulfillment. Watching our child go from sound recognition to an emergent reader was an accomplishment that the entire family enjoyed. We were excited to continue the strides our son had made in preschool and so we decided to continue with Monroe Montessori for the kindergarten year. Although the experience in the pre-k/k class is greatly different, it is equally valuable. Our son has become very interested in the activities of his classmates yet has also developed an independence in his own personal growth and education. Our child is not only acquiring new skills and knowledge, he is learning to apply and generalize his lessons in ways that enrich his life. Montessori fives him the tools to reach as far as he can go while walking him through a tough yet exciting time in his own social development. What a great experience we have had.
