Our family has been part of this Montessori school community for several years, and it has been…read morenothing short of wonderful. Our oldest son started at the school when he was three years old and recently graduated this past May after three enriching years. Our youngest son began attending at two and a half years old and is happily continuing his journey here at four years old.
What makes this school so special is Ms. Olivia. As both the owner and head teacher, she pours her heart into everything she does. Her dedication, warmth, and consistency create an environment where children feel secure, cared for, and challenged in all the right ways. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every child and family has the best experience possible - whether it's coming in on a weekend to sanitize the classroom or even arranging her travel so there is no chance of a delay keeping her from being at school. She is fully committed to her students and their families.
Communication is another strength that sets this school apart. Every Friday, Ms. Olivia sends thoughtful updates with photos and details about what the children worked on during the week. She greets families at drop-off and pick-up with genuine warmth, often sharing meaningful insights about each child's day. That consistency and attentiveness not only help the children thrive but also give us the reassurance that our children are growing in a space filled with attention and that they are nurtured every single day.
The small classroom has led to a close-knit community of parents who support one another just as Ms. Olivia models each day. Through her leadership, the school has become not only a place of learning but a community filled with love, consistency, and trust. Ms. Olivia is more than a teacher - she is a guide, a role model, and the most influential person in our children's lives besides us.
One of the things that continually amazes us is how Ms. Olivia's influence shows up in our children outside the classroom. Our youngest son often speaks with such colorful language and thoughtful expressions, and we can see that he is mirroring the kind, encouraging words he hears from her each day. Additionally, our children are learning to notice and care for the world around them in meaningful ways. They talk about how important it is to respect the earth - caring for trees, flowers... just be warned, if you want to kill an ant inside of your home... your child will scold you because "we cannot kill ants because they are living things too". We also see them practicing kindness in their daily lives, like showing concern for a friend or offering to help an elderly neighbor. It brings us such joy to know that their young minds are learning not only academics but also how to live with respect, empathy, and responsibility - lessons that will serve them for years to come.
We truly believe there is no better place for young children to grow, explore, and flourish. These early years are the foundation of a lifetime, and we couldn't imagine entrusting them to anyone else. Her values mirror our own as parents, and it is such a gift to know that our children spend their days in an environment that reflects the same principles we strive to teach at home.
If you are searching for a school where your child will be embraced, understood, and loved, this is it. You will not find a more dedicated, communicative, or caring teacher than Ms. Olivia. Sending our children here has been the single best decision we've made for their early years, and we wholeheartedly encourage any family to join this community.
