My family recently re-located to Salt Lake City, and Foothill Montessori has without question been…read moreone of the highlights of being here thus far. Our toddler started at the school in August 2025 and he has LOVED it. Not only has he been safe, nurtured, and loved - he has also learned and developed a great deal and has made many new friends. His ability to maintain concentration, complete tasks independently, and verbalize thoughts and emotions has grown leaps and bounds. Indeed, Foothill Montessori is not just a daycare for toddlers and infants - the curriculum and staff provide schooling and learning just like they do for any other age group. I can't say enough good things about my son's Teachers (called "Guides"). Their respect for each child and their ability to teach and manage toddlers - all while maintaining utmost safety within the classroom - is second to none! The curriculum also includes a fantastic music program (which our little guy adores), as well as specific emotional / social development teaching by a dedicated (and amazing) staff-person. Not only have the education and experiences been great for our little guy, but the setting itself is nothing short of pristine. Most other schools (and especially daycares) are slightly dingy and also noisy. Not Foothill Montessori. The building is beautiful, light-filled, and extremely well-maintained. And it's shockingly quiet when you walk the halls. The Teachers / Guides are clearly super-engaged and cultivating an environment that keeps the youngsters' attentions. Most important, the entire staff knows and cares for each and every child. The leadership team and front-office staff seem to know everyone's name. I've observed them greeting by name every single parent and child who enters the school - from infants all the way up to 6th graders. I love dropping our son off to school, as I've come to consider the staff as good friends. And we've also been able to connect with fellow parents and enjoy playdates with other children. In addition to our toddler, we will be enrolling our infant daughter in a few months. All this to say -- I can't recommend Foothill Montessori enough and would give more than 5 stars if I could!

She loves the staff, and most of the kids (most days). I feel really good about having her here. They've been accommodating, fair, and reasonable. They love the kiddos and the kiddos love them. So, why 4 stars instead of 5, you may ask? Well, let me tell you, and this is based on the word of a 3 year old, which can be pure and honest, or strange and made up, but I don't think they ever do story time there. Maybe not too important to some. However, I would quickly add another star if that became part of the daily routine. We love story time.

Their highly qualified and trained teachers have worked to create a fun and engaging environment, stimulating young children to create, collaborate, explore, and discover. They view all children as capable individuals, who as natural learners, learn best through play, having hands-on experiences and making their own discoveries. They understand the power of listening and talking and recognize the value of engaging young children in meaningful conversations as they explore the world around them. They know that it is through language that children make friends, share ideas, learn from others, and gain knowledge about their world. They recognize the importance of social competence and provide a classroom community where children make friends as they work and play cooperatively together, learning to respect others and to value themselves. They nurture a love of physical activity, encouraging young children to be active, to have fun, to play outdoors, and to respect nature. They appreciate how physical play promotes motor and healthy social development. They encourage a love of fresh vegetables and healthy eating habits through work in our onsite Esther's Garden. They involve teachers, parents, and children as partners in the dynamic learning process. ​While the Playful Learning Preschool is a secular program, they explore universal values through the lens of Jewish traditions and celebrations. Children are encouraged to share the culture and traditions of their families. They use the Creative Curriculum, a research-based, comprehensive curriculum that features exploration and discovery as a way of learning. Its design enables children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills.

I feel it is very safe and my kids have loved coming here! I looked at 5 daycares before I selected Devlin's. My kids absolutely adored every staff member, enjoyed their days and made a great circle of friends. I really loved having my kids socialized at their young age (not 4 and 5). They have learned negotiating skills, expressing themselves being around kids their own age. Devlin's staff helped with potty training as well - a never ending thank you. I think the staff handles emotional and behavioral issues that come up with kids very well. Their meals are great and the facility is kept very clean and sanitary. I really like they have two play areas, one for smaller kids and one for older kids. I like the kids spend time outside when the weather is nice. For me, I thought they provided a good balance of learning numbers and letters, crafts, down time, and playing. I totally recommend Devlin's.

The facilities are well-kept and the playground and outdoor area is especially nice and spacious to boot. With a full classroom, the individual rooms border on cramped, but the teachers are expert at a divide and conquer approach with multiple stations and areas to keep a relatively peaceful feel. Snack time can get loud with 16 kids around a table, but after a few weeks it's amazing to see them using cups, asking politely for seconds, using utensils etc. Parents bring in the snack, which nurtures the community feel over a teacher simply handing out the same stuff time and again, or mom and dad packing individual snacks strictly for their own young ones. Teachers literally have decades of experience and an uncanny mastery over their pint-sized pupils. Classrooms are run with an eye to order, fun, and constant reinforcement of basic values like kindness, sharing, table manners, curiosity and play. With that said, CCNS does not batter children with curriculum or enforce mastery of academic concepts. If you're one of those super parents who want your kid publishing their first doctoral thesis at age 16, this is probably not the place for you. Children in diapers are welcome to attend, but they will work on potty training them ASAP. In fact, my own little one was out of diapers within a few weeks of coming here. Seeing his peers use the potty and getting encouragement from other grownups helped our stubborn guy kick his Huggies addiction. Parent(s) are expected to help in the classroom about twice a month. This is almost always a great time, but depending on your situation it may not be ideal. Additionally, you will join one of several committees and participate in a clean-up day. All told, your time investment will average around 6 hours a month. I personally love the co-oping aspect of the school, as parents are much more involved than quick drop offs and pickups, and hanging with kids is just plain fun. We're wrapping up our first year here and are enrolled in a second. We also plan to send our next one through CCNS. Feel free to write with questions.
