However nothing before or since compares to MLM. The teachers there were and are dedicated, intelligent, creative and experienced in the Montessori method. Particular stand-outs during our tenure there were Connie and Reshonna, both of whom are long-time MLM teachers who are wise, loving, and great fun. The current director (Amy) came on board in my younger son's final year and she was an excellent addition to the team. They each knew my kids well and gave them lots of individual attention and communicated well with us about both the successes and challenges our kids were having. The community was excellent and a commitment to diversity and collaboration in our children's education was prized. The school is overseen by a parent run board and during our years with MLM (and before and after as we lived in the neighborhood, we have known many MLM families) I was always impressed by the dedication and hard work of the parents who contribute to the school. MLM was not cheap but it was worth it. The lessons our children learned there serve them to this day (as do the lessons we, as parents learned). Both my spouse and I served on the MLM parent board and on several committees over the years so I can speak from the "inside" as well as the "outside" viewpoint. MLM is a unique and wonderful place and we'll be forever grateful for the time our kids spent there. It's been a year and a half since our youngest son graduated and have since moved away but we treasure the memories of the MLM experience and recommend it highly for those parents who want their children to enter into the school experience in the Montessori method which, while perhaps not the best fit for every child was certainly an excellent choice for us.

My daughter learned so much and worth the experience. I travel from Seatac and sometimes Auburn to drop off and pick her up but it's so worth it. She has even got accepted into her local school without testing to join kindergarten when she turns 4. I'm glad to have her start her education very young. Everyone thinks she's very smart and a fast learner, visually and physically. Also her social skills has improved so much. She's not shy around people and communicate with those when spoken too. Thanks to all the staff for making her beginning education experience so much fun and challenging during these tough time in our lives. I appreciate very single staff!

Toddlers even get the opportunity to care for a garden; they can dig, water, weed and eat as they please. In fact, my 2 year-old considers herself a gardening pro after just a couple of months under teachers Boo and Eric. Only about 30+ families total are enrolled and their photos grace the walls. In fact, many of the comforts you'd expect when dropping kids off with family are present here: you can never be late, every child is seen, valued and respected, snuggles are always welcome and students are taught to be a good friend to others. It's no surprise the owners have adopted three out of four of their daughters; they know what it takes to turn strangers into a family. If you live nearby, these guys are worth contacting for a tour.

We love that the kids get to cook together. The community we've cultivated while sending our kid here has been a blessing.

It's sort of like when you find an amazing restaurant that hasn't been discovered yet - you want to keep it on the down low so that other folk won't start crowding it and messing up the atmosphere. That's how it is with La Maternelle. Even though all the parents love it, there are very few reviews online - word just spreads through social circles. I may be actually breaking some kind of code by leaving this review. Awesome caring teachers; there's a wide spectrum of play, reading/math, and emotional health/regulation. A great place for a kid to learn how to be well-balanced. If you're wanting your kid to learn Chaucer and Calculus, you may have better luck at a school further north. If you want your children to learn how to treat other kids empathetically and be exposed to a wide variety of activities, whether visiting a nearby fire station or hiking at Seward Park twice a month, then this is the place for you. Oh yeah, they also teach the kids in French. And the lunch they serve is - yep, French food. Yum! We were always jealous of our kid because of that. So many pros...can't actually think of any cons even though I'm usually quite good at finding drawbacks.

Miss Q offers monthly tuition or drop off options. Miss Q is patient, caring and knowledgeable in child development. Any concerns that we have about our child or goals we would like to achieve she works with us and is always communicating through text and in person during pick up. For example two years ago our son was in pull-ups and Miss Q was on the same page with us about potty training, and now our son is fully potty trained. Currently we are working on preparing him for kindergarten. This summer my husband and I felt that he may not be ready come fall 2020 but within months of setting goals with Miss Q we have seen significant growth in our child. She keeps the kids busy with learning activities and open play. She really knows how to balance the kids schedules. Our little one loves coming to school and is exited to learn. Everyday we pick him up he always comes home with at-least three artworks/activities. She keeps her school clean and organized and I never feel uneasy when dropping my child off. My husband and I are so thankful we found a school that can accommodate our work schedule and provide our child with social interactions with kids his age as well as incorporating preschool activities. We appreciate you Miss Q!
