I can honestly say that Tara Montessori School is a hidden gem, offering a true Montessori program....not just in name but in attitude and action. There are bigger and flashier schools in our area, but none can compare in quality, caring and content. The Director, Toni Dunleavy, and her staff are all experienced Montessori teachers as well as parents who understand the needs of the family, community and individual child. I can't say enough about Tara. This is our third year there. We love the spotless and quiet infant room, the creativity of the younger class and the Kindergarden program has our kindergardener reading third grade level books....well.

The head of school works tirelessly to provide a safe and loving environment for our children. In addition to the beautiful environment and dedicated staff, the school offers a curriculum like no other schools that we visited. My oldest started reading at 3.5 years and read at 2nd grade level prior to transitioning to private school. We are amazed with our daughter's math skills and how meticulous and kind she became. If you want to invest in a school that will support your child's development, visit the Bilingual Montessori School of Sharon. I highly recommend BMSS to every parent seeking school. Best investment ever for our children!

The warm and welcoming attitude of the administration and staff made us feel right at home. I was astonished by the progress that my children made during their first few months attending the school and onwards. BMSS offers a unique and enriched curriculum that not only aligned with my expectations but also suited the growth and development of my children. During their 4 years at BMSS, they achieved success academically, socially and emotionally. I can still see today the lasting impact that this environment made on them. Even more satisfactory was the progress of my autistic child. My husband and I were unaware of his condition until the Head of school kindly shared her observations with us. They literally changed the trajectory of his life. The Montessori education coupled with the school's tireless efforts towards my children's education was second to none. I would recommend the Bilingual Montessori School of Sharon to any parent seeking a remarkable environment for their children where they can acquire lifelong skills.

It allows the child to learn in their own time removing, shame, pressure and ultimately, anxiety. And yes, they learn. My 6 year old is reading chapter books. What it does, is gives them the gift of actually learning for enjoyment. The teachers are nurturing, accommodating and the facilities are excellent. If you're on the fence, check it out- I believe tours go year round. Also worth visiting is the elementary program where not only academia (like math/ reading etc) is taught, but yoga, breath work and organic gardening are practiced. Cannot recommend enough.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to be challenging while encouraging curiosity, independence, and critical thinking. We've been amazed by how much our children have grown academically and personally. What makes this school truly exceptional is the staff. They know each child as an individual and genuinely nurture their unique strengths, interests, and confidence. It's clear that every child is seen, valued, and supported. As parents, there is nothing more important than knowing your children are safe, happy, and thriving. We feel incredibly thankful to be part of this community and have complete confidence in the education and care our children receive every day. We look forward to staying at Andover through 8th grade and couldn't imagine a better place for our family. Highly recommend!

We have really enjoyed being introduced to the Montessori educational philosophy through Sudbury Montessori. The teachers send home photos at the end of each week so we can see our childrens' days in action. They have a lot of opportunities to be creative during the day - our daughter loves painting and gets to do a lot of that. We've also been impressed with their sanitation and organization during COVID-19. We have never once felt vulnerable or exposed thanks to the precautions they've taken and the communication around it. The kids' schedule involves a lot of outside play time and exploring, which is so important to us and not something that every pre-school does. The staff makes themselves available at drop-off and pick-up for any questions, and they're also just a quick phone call away. All in all we are pleased with this sweet little school and would recommend them.
