    Mountain Shadows International Montessori School is a phenomenal place for children to learn and…read moregrow. Head of School Lauren F, Assistant Head of School Jeff, and the entire teaching team are exceptional--caring, professional, and deeply committed to the Montessori philosophy. My son is in his fourth year at MSIMS and my daughter in her second, and both absolutely thrive here. It is also the only fully accredited AMI Montessori school in Colorado, offering a level of quality education you won't find anywhere else. I cannot recommend this school enough.

    My daughter attended the school in 2020-2022 and our experience was far from positive. When we…read moretoured and applied in 2020, the school sounded fantastic. Unfortunately between the time we applied and the time we started, the seemingly wonderful head of school left and the board selected someone with no educational experience to replace them. A year later the other, fantastic, member of the original 2-person admin team left. My daughter started in YCC at 18mo. Several times my daughter came home with injuries (head injuries, bite marks) and no incident report or communication from the school. In 2022 we moved into one of the primary classrooms. My daughter initially had an ok experience in primary. But again we found out about several incidents from her that should have warranted an incident report, but never did. This culminated in her telling us that one child had hit and shoved her 3-4 times inn the course of a week. We of course brought this up and the teacher kept trying to tell us this was "normal behavior". We disagreed, and attempted to raise this with the head of school, who ignored us for weeks. In this time we had interactions with several other parents, where upon telling them of the issue we'd get responses like "oh, was it [kid]? My kiddo was getting hit by them too." One other parent told us their kid shook with anxiety about going to school and had to be kept home for a month as a result of bullying by this same kid. It became clear that the kid in question had bullied almost every other kid in the classroom, and the school had done nothing about it. Finally, we got a meeting with the head of school. He started by gaslighting us, telling us we were "complainers" and that he felt "nothing he could do would ever make us happy" - as if enforcing the school's own policies on bullying were too much to ask. We quickly ended the meeting after agreeing that the school would refund us the tuition we had paid for the two-month summer session we wouldn't be attending. The school refused to issue a refund until after the summer session, and then sent us ~$200. Half-day tuition at the school is ~$2,000/month. The refund is laughable and, in my opinion, an intentional fraud. In summary our experience was of an incompetent administration, classrooms that could not provide a safe learning environment for our child, a sudden termination of services and a wholly inadequate refund from a disingenuous head of school.

    This is an amazing family run school. The director is amazing and truly puts her heart and soul…read moreinto it. It was a really great find in the country. The owner, Mrs. Lynn, is really calm and so insightful. She teaches montessori and trains teachers in boulder. Her dad comes to the school to do the shoveling and gardening. He is a retired doctor and also helps check out the kids if they fall or have any problems. He is really fun to talk to and has some pretty hilarious stories!! It is out on the outskirts of town which is neat. Not a lot of traffic to get to. They also have pets and animals at the school. Drop offs are super easy. They come to your car. It makes the transition easier for the kids. You sign them in and out from your car (unless it's really cold or rainy). This was such a great find!!!! Update: 11/9/14 This school continues to surprise me. I have been helping out a little in my sons preschool classroom and I absolutely love the new teacher Mrs. Katie. She is wonderful with the little ones. I have also been shadowing the elementary teacher. And oh my goodness she is amazing. They are learning college level biology and 6th grade English in the lower level elementary. The elementary teacher mixes Montessori and Core education. She has over 30 years experience teaching. All the children out of the Kindergarten can read before first grade. The Kindergarten teacher is probably one of the best Montessori teachers in Colorado. She trains Montessori teachers in Boulder at MECR. Next week the kindergarten is doing the human body. They have a working heart model complete with chambers. The class ratio as of November is 4 to 1 elementary, 4 to 1 kindergarten, preschool is 10 to 1. i will be keeping my son here as long as possible.

    Excellent school. Exceeds public schools hands down. Student/Teacher ratio is 10/1. This ensures…read morestudent gets the right level of attention and focus on growth. My daughter learned to read, write, add/subtract, skip count all in Kinder. The curriculum also includes science, music all traditional classes. However, Mrs. Lynn's approach is very hands-on/interactive learning. This school is amazing. They offer pre-school, K-4th grade.

When asked for feedback -- any feedback -- on my child's school activities, I was told, "no news is good news". When I requested once again for a two-minute stand-up conversation once a week when picking up my child, I was told that if they did it for me, they had to do it for every parent. Is that such a bad thing? As a parent paying a significant amount to send a child to a private montessori, I didn't feel it an unreasonable request for a teacher to talk to me and tell me about my child's day. When dropping my child off or picking her up, I was rarely acknowledged by the staff (not even a, "Hi"). The month that I volunteered to read with the children one day a week, the two owners never greeted me, acknowledged me, or thanked me at the end for my time. Thankfully another teacher at the school recognized that I had no idea what my volunteer duties were, and showed me what I was to do. At the end of the year, I couldn't wait for school to be over. Needless to say, we won't be returning.This was by far the worst scholastic experience...ever! I would never, ever recommend Blue Mountain.

It's more of a good daycare now. Do not take your child to kindergarten here, they will not be prepared for 1st grade. The teachers are very loving and the children have a lot of fun, they just don't learn much.

    When our daughter was young, we tried a number of daycare/preschools and were sorely disappointed…read more It was truly a blessing when we found Countryside. She went there through Kindergarten, and as other reviewers said, there's something about always being a Countryside Kid! She graduated from Countryside in 1994 and is still friends with her classmates. She is also a teacher and regularly uses the wonderful lessons she learned at Countryside to help her first graders remember to "use their words" to resolve conflicts and express their feelings. Just as she regularly gets together with girls from her Countryside class (and now with their husbands), I have a group of "Countryside Moms" that I meet for dinner once a month,. The Moms and Dads still see each other at annual holiday and summer gatherings. What a return on our preschool investment! Our experience at Countryside provided an incredible learning opportunity for our daughter that has provided useful and positive lifelong lessons. And, we have fantastic friendships that formed when our kids were little. As unbelievable as it may sound, several of the teachers that were at Countryside when our daughter was there are still teaching the next generation.. They nurtured, taught and supported a group of young adults who have a strong sense of who they are and who are making significant contributions to our society. We couldn't have given our child a better start. We look forward to having grandchildren continue the Countryside tradition. Countryside is truly a preschool treasure - there are none better!
