We recently moved to the area, and finding the right school for our son Kai was one of our biggest…read morepriorities. 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!

Our son was only 20 weeks old when he started at eBridge. He is now 4 1/2 and he still loves it…read more Our 2 year old daughter also began as an infant. Both kids are very happy there. 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.

We love BBA and our child loves BBA! The first word that comes to my mind is "family". Both the…read moreteachers and children are so warm and welcoming that they really feel like family. The teachers are really attentive and at the end of the day the kids at all different ages get to interact with each other in their central area/atrium. The environment reminds me of my childhood when I got to play with cousins who are older and younger than me. All the teachers are very enthusiastic with the children's learning and I love how they always do art activities. They have plenty of room for kids to run around and plenty of toys (sensory, interactive and fun). Sometimes I pop in the middle of the day to say hi! and I see the teachers reading books to the kids (even to the babies!). They provide breakfast, snacks and drinks but you have to pack your own kid's lunch. They provide the baby wipes but you have to provide your own diapers and butt cream. BYO sunblock as well (and whatever other lotion you want them to slather on your child). They also brush your kid's teeth which is pretty cool. BYO sleeping mat/bag for toddlers but they do have cribs for the crawlers and babies. They have a long waiting list so I highly recommend getting your child's name in the list right away. I highly recommend them and they are also highly recommended by other moms in town (that's how I found out about them).

With early dropoff it is convenient for those of us who like to get to work early, and leave a little early. The new facility is excellent, being very bright and sunny, with plenty of space in each classroom, a large common area for kids to interact, and a sizable outdoor area. The common area is a great feature for families with multiple children enrolled, as it provides an opportunity for siblings to interact which isn't typical of center-based care. This area also allows interaction between the children and other teachers, which helps to facilitate transitions between classrooms. The staff is also very supportive of parent preferences, including special food brought from home and cloth diapers.

I can not recommend Nashoba Montessori School enough! My…read morelittle one has attended NMS since she was 3, this will be her 4th and sadly her final year. The teachers are amazing and so supportive in every way helping my child along the way to reach her full potential. Nashoba Montessori is a wonderful, bright, open and well set up learning environment- a perfect, safe setting with wonderful outdoor learning/play area. The fabulous teachers show attention to detail and professionalism in everyway, always with patience,love, respect and kindness. We really feel like we are part of the family there. Every day my little one continues to grow in confidence, independence and is always learning new skills. As I said I can not recommend this wonderful school enough! I hope my now 8 month will attend in the future so I can continue to be part of the NMS family for a while yet!

They are so patient and have a wonderful routine that my 2.9 year old daughter was able to catch on to the first week of attendance.

I am confident that my daughter always has a teacher and a role model when she needs it. We have enjoyed watching our daughters confidence grow and her interest expand.

The preschool does offer weekly live guitarist who sings with the kids, also to its credit it has a talented Spanish teacher who makes this language interesting. Kind teachers. Program is planned & executed, BUT, parents don't get daily updates on activities, only weekly. Only ONE teacher per class. For most activities they combine the classes which creates chaos. Last year I saw one teacher dealing with 9 boys ages 4,5. The were constantly combined with my son's class 3,4 yr olds. During break times none effective or lacking adult supervision. My child was pushed down the stairs TWICE!! And they didn't even know! My then 3 year old was hit a few times in school & only once did they report it, AFTER, I started contacting the school with my concerns. My child loved his friends & teacher but was terrified of two older kids who would be combined at activity time. The teachers are GOOD, but supervision between class & at break time is lacking. Staff chatting instead of being present in the moment & comments like " boys will be boys" in response to your concerns.

They regularly kept parents posted of all things going on, and were very responsive if there was ever any concerns. I couldn't imagine trying to keep so many little ones occupied, learning, and happy, but they did everyday! Our kids still look at their Sunshine memory books all the time and loved their time there. All of our neighbors put their kids through and had very positive experiences as well, as all of our kids were more than ready for kindergarten when that started! I'd give Sunshine and their talented staff more stars if I could.
