We are starting our second year at JMS with our son, now in 2nd grade, and it has been a breath of…read morefresh air after seeing firsthand what public schools had in store. JMS is a fantastic place, for ages from preschool up through 9th grade, including a separate adolescent program occupying its own house. Talk about learning life skills! JMS is also the only school in the area that's certified AMI and AMS, both main Montessori accreditations. Adhering to the true Montessori model has really made an obvious difference for our son, who loves going to school, loves the freedom to move about the room and pursue his interests, always under the helpful direction of a teacher who keeps kids busy without overwhelming them with buzzwords that will appear on some standardized test two years in the future. The kids get all the core instruction they need, and the freedom to grow beyond it in a personalized, caring environment. We love JMS and will be proud JMS parents through the 9th grade!

The teachers are kind, caring, and bring out the best in each child. They steward the Montessori…read morephilosophy in all the best ways and the children flourish as a result. We have seen immense academic, emotional, and social growth in our two children since they began at Joliet Montessori School. We are honored to be a part of such a wonderful school.

Montessori Children's Garden (MCG) is a truly amazing place. My husband and I are so grateful to…read morehave chosen MCG for our son's education! He was there from 2.5 to 6 years old. Not only was he incredibly well prepared to start school in IPSD 204 from an academic standpoint, but also socially and emotionally. The school is very well run - with top notch communication and a staff of talented, caring teachers. The staff put on regular education nights for parents, and with no judgment, really helped me identify how to be the best mom I can be. While in the Kindergarten program, our son was asked to be a leader in the classroom and take on more responsibilities. It was so wonderful to watch him thrive and be cared for by an entire staff of smart, devoted, and empathetic women. Thank you so much, MCG, for giving our son the best start! I can't help but wonder how wonderful the world would be if every child got this kind of start. MCG is truly a special place!

As soon as we toured MCG I knew this was the place for us and it is honestly one of the best decisions we have ever made. Our kids grew their love of learning in a supportive and loving environment. Each and every teacher and staff member was amazing. Our children were given opportunities to grow and develop academically and social-emotionally. When they started attending public school, each of my children was ahead academically. One of our boys can be a bit rigid and challenging, and his teacher Ms. Jennie worked with him so well that he soared academically and behaviorally. Their hours are good for working parents and they even have fun summer programs.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school! Our family LOVES it here. Both our…read moredaughters attend Goddard. They started in June 2015 for the summer. They had such a blast playing and learning every day. They do so much with these kids on a daily basis. Within 1 month our youngest (2 1/2) was singing songs and learning the alphabet. Our oldest is now back in her regular school full time for the school year but she gets picked up from Goddard each afternoon from school and attends Goddard's after school program. I work downtown Chicago and traffic gets me home in the late afternoon and I'm so grateful to have a place for my oldest to go after school. I love that they pick her up daily and they help her with all of her homework!! What a blessing and time saver that is. For a working mom, your evenings are very tight and busy and any help you can get is so wonderful. My favorite part about the Goddard school is the pictures and daily emails. Each day, throughout the day, I get random photos of my kids interacting, playing, coloring and having fun. This is the highlight of my day when I get my emails and see my kiddos having a great time. It makes me smile every single time. Also, at the end of the day after I sign them out I get an email laying out there entire day which includes, what they ate, what times they changed there diapers, how long they napped, what activities they did that day. Its amazing!! The best part about this particular Goddard school is how wonderful and involved the owners are. Karen and Rundy really care for all the children and they are always there at the school! The teachers and staff that they hire are all wonderful people. They really make sure they hire the best for our children. The place is super clean and super secure. I feel safe every day leaving them there. I feel like I'm leaving them with family. I don't write reviews often but when I do, I mean every single word.

My one year old and four year old love this school and as a parent I couldn't ask for a better…read moreenvironment for my children to grow and learn!

We are proud parents of 2 of my children who have been attending Little Blossom Montessori School…read moresince 2017. This has been a great experience for our children learn and understand the facts with hands on materials. All the staff at school are very welcoming and deeply caring for every child at school. both my children are completely different, yet I see a huge progress in academic and social development. My kids love to be in Music Together Program and Spanish class. The friendly atmosphere makes Little Blossom Montessori stand out as the best.

Academically, our son's concentration skills, ability to hold a pencil and actually write his name, recognition of sounds and letters, and understanding of numbers have improved dramatically. He has been introduced to concepts I previously thought were beyond his age - but he has embraced them, and retained them: continents, flags for our countries, historical figures, planets, environmental topics (like the importance of saving water), parts of the root, even words and songs in a second language (French). He takes great pride in whatever "works" he has brought home for us to see - from workbook pages to a handmade card or picture. Personally, our son has developed valuable social skills being with his peers and teachers each day. At home, we see a newfound sense of peace in his independence. He dresses himself and gets ready for the day with little parental help, will pick up his toys and put them in their proper places without being asked (much of the time!), and is a cheerful participant around the home-offering to help me with any task I happen to be working on. I feel my son is safe in the school when I leave him for class and find him happily playing on the secure and somewhat secluded playground with his friends and teachers at pickup. Ms. Siji is always accessible and has been very approachable for any concern we have faced this year. The class size is small and I feel she really knows my child and truly cares about his growth. Works are often rotated to keep the interest of the children and the classroom is a very inviting space for them. You will be amazed at how your child will truly blossom in this environment!
