my husband and i visited a number or pre-schools when our oldest son was 2 years old. we felt lucky to be in an area where there are so many schools to choose from. the last school on our tour was MMS and upon walking down the stairs to their reception area and being there for a few minutes, we both turned to each other and said "this feels different." upon entering you already feel the warm, welcoming and positive environment and it only continues to get better from there with every interaction we or our children have with the committed and talented faculty there. we feel so lucky to have found it and so grateful that our children are able to have such a wonderful school experience. we are in our third year as MMS parents and couldn't be more delighted that we have 4 more wonderful years with the school.

When I started looking at pre-schools for my then turning-3-year-old, Madison Montessori gave me "that feeling" that every parent is looking for... A small, cozy, close-knit school where I felt like everyone (child & adult) had a smile. We enrolled my son, but then had to move internationally. As soon as we found out we were returning to the area, I called MMS to see if I could get both of my children a spot. They were absolutely amazing with the transition back to the US and starting a new school, as well as helping me decide whether to put my son into Kindergarden or give him an extra year of pre-school. I never felt pressured in either direction, and I cannot express how happy I've been with our decision! I was not originally looking for a Montessori school, I just happened to fall in love with one that was... And haven't looked back. I feel like they truly love both of my children and nurture their needs and desires - in "daily life" and in education. And they both love to go to school each day!! I could not recommend this school enough, for all levels of pre-school through Kindergarden. I wish it went further!!

We found Madison Montessori by luck! When we moved into town, it was August and all the preschools were booked for the September start. Fortunately for us, a space opened up at MMS at the last minute and we were in! Three children, and nine years later, that single event was probably one of the luckiest of my entire life. Not only have our children received the highest quality education, but they have been nurtured in an environment where the sky's the limit! They've gained such confidence...socially, creatively and intellectually. LOOK NO FURTHER FOR YOUR PRE-SCHOOLER! This school can not be beat!

A jewel ... we could not be fonder of our children's school! A small, cozy, overseeable place where our children feel so loved and welcome - and at the same time, a great environment for learning and growing that nourishes their curiosity and stretches their horizon every day. MMS turned a huge transition for our older son (first year in school and in an English-speaking environment!) into such a smooth and happy experience. He is now in his third year and the most content, curious and confident Kindergartner we could hope for. At each interaction with the teachers, we just marvel at how well they know our children and how lovingly they work with their special interests and needs. Both our 3 and 6 year old love their school, teachers, classmates and work projects dearly ? and are devastated when they cannot attend school for even just a day. They learn and grow every day, working with those beautiful Montessori materials that make us wish we could use them, too!
