When I learned that Miss Dottie used to run the lab school at UMass, I was sold. I feel that people who teach aspiring teachers are up to date on best practices and truly dedicated to the field. We have been very pleased with the school. They have a really great staff to student ratio. There are a lot of interns from UMass, which is very exciting for the children. The class is incredibly diverse, with almost all of the children speaking different languages at home. I would highly recommend it!

The environment inspires kids to progress as quickly as they can in an inclusive setting that's about kindness, respect and enabling students to achieve individually, as well as in a group setting. The teachers took the time, all the time, to key into our kids' needs and although ours have graduated, they have many fond memories of Treetops! The community feeling created by Treetops truly develops a child's love of school and continued learning. HIGHLY recommend!

We've had our daughter at Nonotuck for 3 years and could not be happier. All of the teachers and…read moreadministrators are stellar--very knowledgable, well trained, caring and attentive. The open, emergent curriculum fosters imagination, creativity and confidence, and gets the kids outside and moving their bodies frequently throughout the day. The school's focus on social and emotional skills has been a great benefit as well. We often comment that children from Nonotuck seem to have an easier time sharing and navigating conflict with other children. Nonotuck also offers a cooperative community of families and teachers working together to not only raise strong, intelligent, confident children, but also to support parents and families as they work through the challenges of raising children. Many friendships are made between children and parents alike.

We have been so impressed with the things our 3yr old has learned, things I never would have thought she could do at this age, like cleaning her own crumbs off the table; her eagerness to help out with any spills that occur; correctly putting away the cutlery in the drawer when we empty the dishwasher, singing about the continents, etc. She impresses us all the time with what she has learned at school. She loves going and learning as well as having time to play with her friends and get outside. They learn real life skills and lessons. We couldn't be happier!

At Meetinghouse he was included and celebrated and came home everyday full of stories about friends and things he'd learned. He loved his teachers and we want to highlight Ms. Maciolek and Ms. Snow in the young children classroom for their dedication and incredible care. They are so good at what they do. They brought calm and thoughtfulness. Our child talked about them with respect and about what they taught him. Mrs. Lancaster and Ms. Abby instantly connected with our child and made him feel part of a great culture. And Mrs. Smith is outstanding in how she runs the school and the tone she sets.

From the very beginning, the team at eBridge Montessori made us feel welcomed and supported -- even conducting a virtual tour and handling the admissions process remotely while we were still preparing for the move. That flexibility and care really stood out to us. Now that Kai is attending, we can truly see the difference eBridge is making. He's become so much more independent, confident, and socially engaged -- and he absolutely adores his teachers and classmates. The teachers are incredibly nurturing and seem to intuitively understand what each child needs to thrive. We also love how they involve us as parents, offering guidance and resources to help us bring Montessori principles into our home as well. It feels like we're learning and growing right alongside him. eBridge has already helped us feel like part of a real community here. They are living their mission of being a "bridge" -- not just between children and learning, but between schools and families. We were even able to start Kai with half days during his transition, which we greatly appreciated, and he'll be moving to full days in January. And we're already planning for our younger daughter, Vera, to join when she's ready! We couldn't be happier or more grateful. If you're looking for a warm, thoughtful, and truly child-centered school -- eBridge is right for you!

The teachers and staff are warm and very caring. The school treats staff well, and so they stay on for years. My son still sees a teacher he had as an infant on a regular basis. The staff and program focus on what's best for the kids, and ask for a level of engagement from parents that may be greater than a regular daycare or preschool. Nothing is mandatory, but it does encourage a level of interaction that has truly bred a nice community. I'm so happy we found eBridge and can be a part of this special place.
