The teachers and staff are passionate about providing high-quality care using the Montessori method. As parents, we appreciate the communication from the teachers AND staff. The parent community at Little City is so strong and families have developed strong connections through the school. Throughout the year, my son learned to be independent, took pride in his work, and applied many of his learnings at home. He began putting his shoes away in their place, hanging his coat on the hook by himself, setting the table during dinner, and wanting to help out while we cook in kitchen. His growth over the last year has been so impressive!

The school communicates clearly, openly and inclusively on all matters regarding the health, safety and growth of the children. They treat their employees with respect and support --- and it shows through how they in turn treat all children/parents. They are rooted in and supportive of the community that surrounds the school. Definitely a gem within the neighborhood and city! I highly recommend this as a place to entrust your child's learning and development.

My older son is in his third year at Clementine Montessori (now in Kindergarten) and we have been…read morevery happy with the school. It is a small, warm community with great communication between teachers and parents. The kindergarten experience is unique, small, and personalized. The kindergarteners have mini-units taught but a different teacher each month and Spanish once a week. They tie in so many field trips in their curriculum and really use the city as their playground. My younger son just started in a different classroom and we are really loving it for him as well, his teachers are wonderful, structured, and caring, really just what he needs.

They write weekly emails with pictures and descriptions of children performing their Montessori "works" and are very responsive to questions or concerns. The kids always get to play outside, almost no matter the weather, and if it is nice they sometimes take field trips around the city or down to the Schuylkill river. There is also a small garden outside where the kids grow vegetables. My daughter has learned so much over the past three years. She never wants to leave at the end of the day.

In one specific case, the director agreed that the teacher was in the wrong to rip a toy out of my son's hand and push him down, the teacher was just moved to another classroom. The two's teacher has come in high on several occasions. This was brought to the director's attention by several parents and it's been brushed off. There's no real curriculum, they will just keep your kid "busy" all day. Overall, I wouldn't recommend sending your child here.

The community the teachers and staff have created has made a lasting impact on our life.

All the teachers have embraced her, regardless of whether she's in their classroom or not, and the environment has served as a launchpad for her to develop safety and trust with so many gentle and attuned caregivers. I appreciate the continual development of the teachers, as they're constantly pursuing best practices to create an environment in which the kids can thrive. They also keep the environment so fun with rotating themes and fresh material to keep the kids engaged. I've been impressed by how calm and peaceful the school has felt every time I've visited or picked my child up early. She has always been very happy upon pickup as well! I only wish Mi Casita offered higher grades, as I'd keep her here indefinitely if I could!
