What Our Families are Saying

This place is absolutely amazing! My daughter has gone to Montessori One since she was 2 1/2 and we could not be happier. It is an unbelievable place with very caring, AMAZING teachers. I feel she has had an idyllic preschool experience. They are caring, very knowledgeable and my daughter is excelling academically in every aspect because of this school. I was told by the principal at one of the best elementary schools in the area that Montessori One's children are the best prepared in the area. HUGE thumbs up! Love M1!!!!!!

This preschool has been so incredible! We've been to 3 preschools before this with our other kid, and it's by far the best as it's a great mix of education via the Montessori method, play, and child care for working parents. The teachers and admins are so kind and loving to the kids and the kids learn so much! We love Mrs Jei so much but all the teachers seem really great.

Our time at Montessori One was wonderful from start to finish. The staff at M1 are incredibly warm and dedicated. They are well-trained professionals who truly understand the needs of young children. They showed patience, kindness, and attention to each individual child. The most wonderful teachers a parent could ever want. Strict but loving, warm and gentle, and always allowing children to explore and discover at their own pace. My child has learned so much being in their classes!

Thank you so, so much, Montessori for the most wonderful experience. I wish this school went past kindergarten. That's how amazing our experience was!!

Our daughter has been going to this school since she was 2.5 years old. We love how passionate and nurturing all of the educators are. She has flourished so much in this kind and caring environment. We are so excited to be sending our son there in a few weeks. I would highly recommend this school to anyone that want their children to not only be well taken care of but also helping them blossom.

We couldn’t be happier with this school. My son has been attending Montessori One for 1.5 years now (since he was eligible at 2 yo) and he has learned so much during that time. He is extremely independent always wanting to do things on his own without our help, he knows his letters, numbers, (much sooner than our older boys did, who attended a more typical preschool). We absolutely love the staff and all the teachers, and specialists. Ms. Amal has done an exceptional job hiring for this school. The love they have for all their students is palpable. Montessori One is a warm and positive educational environment and I feel grateful that I have a perfect place lined up for our 4th baby when he’s old enough to attend.
We’ve had an amazing experience with Montessori One, and we’re so grateful for the care and education they’ve provided our children since they were just 2 years old. The teachers do a fantastic job with 1:1 learning, ensuring each child’s individual needs are met. In the four years we’ve been at Montessori One across both of our children, the teachers have consistently been thoughtful in their approach to teaching, providing a nurturing and tailored educational experience. Our daughter, in particular, was incredibly well-prepared for elementary school thanks to the strong foundation she received here. Both of our children have learned letter sounds, early reading, writing skills, and, above all, the importance of kindness. The school also offers fantastic Spanish and music programs, with teachers who are truly exceptional in their fields. On top of that, they provide sports classes, adding an extra layer of enrichment to the children's experience. We highly recommend Montessori One to any family looking for a nurturing, well-rounded educational environment. Our children have thrived here, and we couldn't be happier with our choice.
My daughter has been attending M1 since she was 2, and the growth we’ve seen in her over the past year has been amazing. She used to be very shy, but since starting school, she has really come out of her shell. Not only has she gained confidence, but she has also learned so much—we constantly get compliments on how smart she is for her age! The teachers genuinely care about each child, nurturing their interests and helping them learn in a way that works best for them. My daughter absolutely loves her teachers, and so do we! It’s such a great feeling to know she’s in good hands and excited to go to school every day.
We started both my children at Montessori One when they were 2 years old, and we have had a wonderful experience. Our son had a difficult time with the adjustment, but his teacher took great care of him and paid special attention to him until he was adjusted and more independent. Our daughter adjusted almost right away since her older brother was there. It is amazing how much our children have learned at Montessori One. Our son is 4.5 and is learning how to spell and do age appropriate math (counting by 10s, odd and even numbers, etc). and our 3 year old daughter can recognize all letters and sounds. The teachers are all very attentive to the children and spend 1 on 1 time with each kid to make sure they are getting love and attention they need, all while teaching them age appropriate material. The extra circular activities that are included with the tuition are music and Spanish. Our children absolutely ADORE the music teacher and are learning about all different types and genres of music (who knew toddlers could learn so much about Mozart?) and the performance at the end of the year with the music teacher is SO CUTE! Our children come home reciting Spanish words and singing songs in Spanish. We love that they are being exposed to another language so early. Montessori One also has sports programs via Amazing Athletes and a tennis coach (not included in tuition but reasonably priced). Overall we have had a wonderful experience and Montessori One and think that are children are going to be very well prepared for TK and K.
