"I was very impressed by my observation of the children's morning last week.  To actually hear the children responding in Spanish was thrilling!  What impressed me the most, however, was that each of the children truly worked independently!.  When I saw a young 3 year old boy prepare a snack & share it with the others children, I was amazed & delighted!  Ms. Claudia and Ms. Erika have an exceptioanl ability to engage & nurture the children in both the English & Spanish languages.  They are truly gifted teachers!"

Parent Quotes

"Thank you for allowing me to visit and observe a typical Montessori day in my daughter's life.  It was a pleasure to see all of the children flow through the day with ease.  They seemed to feel right at home.  Every child had something to do and took pride in their work.  It was incredible to see the children understand when they were being spoken to in Spanish.  What seemed to amaze me even more was to see the incredible self discipline and responsibility they possess, even the youngest ones.  I am very happy and proud to have Brianna attending such a great school and to have such great teachers.  she is always excited about starting her day."

"The observation of your classroom today was so very interesting.  It was incredible to to see all the children, not only my own, so incredibly focused, calm, and busy at work in the classroom.  They were like a swarm of busy bees...each knowing their individual parts while also knowing when to pull together as a team to clean up and help each other out.  The sense of Independence, pride, respect, order, and caring these little ones exhibited during my visit was fulfilling to watch as a parent.  I sat and watched in amazement as the children selected their projects, concentrated and completed their tasks, and then put things exactly back in their proper places with such care (if only we could only teach our husbands to do the same!!).   At one point  during the observation, Fiona was at the sink cleaning her supplies after painting....it took her a long time to accomplish her task but she kept at it.    I couldn't help but notice the pride she took and the sense of accomplishment she felt after completing the simplest of tasks.  It was a proud moment for me as a parent to see the delight in her face after she completed her work and to see her so confident and comfortable within your classroom.  The patients and attention you and Ms. Laty provide to the students is impressive.  The environment you provide within your classroom allows for not only the teaching of academics and the Spanish language, but the reinforcement of values. I really enjoyed my visit today and wanted to tell you how pleased I am to see Fiona grow and learn in such a stimulating environment. Thanks again."
