We moved here from the US last year where my son was previously in daycare. I really appreciate the varied activities throughout the week (dancing, computer class, Spanish, outdoor class) along with the Montessori curriculum that is offered. My son has learned so much in just the 5 months he has been attending so far and I can see his progress via the online parent portal. Staff are wonderful and care a lot about the students and the school offers lots of activities to get parents involved. I am looking forward to seeing the growth in my son next school year.

He had previously been at another local nursery and it was terrible and he was upset t every day and wast very anxious about going but when he started Maria Montessori it was like a different child . I’m so lucky that we found Maria Montessori
