I had my daughter in the Eagle location for over a year. In that time, they went through 3…read moredifferent Principals, countless staff, and possibly the best front office person a company could ask for! You can definitely tell that admin is a mess here, even the teachers agree (side conversations). Everyone just leaves, not even a resignation period? Just odd! For the amount of private tuition you pay here, I would go somewhere else. The communication to parents is spotty at best, the amount of time off at the school has been ridiculous. I pulled my kiddo out this past week and headed to public school in August, and I truly feel she will benefit from this move.

Montessori Park has exceeded what we expected when we enrolled our 4 year-old COVID kid. Previously…read morea rather uncertain child, she counts to 20, is spelling and writing, and takes personal pride in her own growth and independence. She takes joy in her work and the jobs she has in the classroom. She talks excitedly about all of her friends. I cannot wait to watch her soar further. The school offers great after school programs and our daughter has had exposure to in-depth art class, music glass, ballet, sports, etc. The unexpected benefit beyond all of this has been the learnings available to parents. My husband and I have enjoyed several opportunities to learn more about the Montessori approach to learning and spent several classes on positive discipline, much of which we have applied to our home. It has been an absolute joy to watch the person our 4 year-old is becoming in her first year here. You can feel how much teachers and administrators care about their role in the kids' lives. Her teacher Ms Laura is highly respected by our daughter and we enjoy playing school at home (with her as Ms Laura and us as the students). Feel free to DM me if you are looking into Montessori and want to hear more!

My children attended the school for 4+ years. We were fortunate enough to be able to skip the…read morewaitlist as we were moving from another Nobel Learning Community school in another state. My children had experience with 3 main teachers, two of whom were fantastic. The classrooms are set up with one main teacher who has to have Montessori certification and one assistant teacher who does not have to be certified in Montessori education. There is one classroom for toddlers (ages 2-3) and 6 other classrooms (ages 3-6/kindergarten). The upper classes have about 22 students/teacher+ assistant. I assume that each school is as good as the staff/teachers who work there. Children can start as young as 2 years old in room 1. The main teacher in room 1 Ms Rose was very patient, loving, and had everything under control. Other teacher in room 6, Ms Kat, was the best teacher I've ever met. She made sure that children were learning, came up with various aids/behavioral strategies when children were struggling and she is very dedicated to teaching. She was always busy teaching the children, working with them, and making sure they were learning. My other child who moved up from room one to another classroom had a less than desirable experience as he did not learn much in his upper class and we ended up transferring him (after addressing our concerns first with that teacher and then the principal) to room 6 and the amazing Ms Kat who brought him up to speed in less than 10 months! The principal, Ms Lila is a very lovely lady, knows everyone by name, and runs the school well. Her door is always open and she is always available to listen to concerns and answer questions as needed. The school organizes a few events during the year and it feels like the staff is putting a lot of effort into providing the children with nice learning environment. Overall, I'd recommend the school but make sure you are on top of what your child is learning.

We absolutely love this school for so many reasons. Our son and daughter both went here and I feel…read morelike they are a huge advantage because of it. The Principal, Miss Jamie is so warm, kind, smart, and trustworthy-- you literally could not find a better person for this role. She is always coming up with fun ideas for the kids, parents, and her staff and she's a true leader. I think all of the teachers here are really great but especially my son's teachers Miss Emily and Miss Cari. Miss Emily has been at this school for (i can't remember exactly) but 15-20 years. She is totally professional and the BEST teacher. We feel so lucky to have her. Miss Cari was her assistant and I think she is in school to become an official teacher and we also think the world of her. She had cute inside jokes with our son and was always bringing a smile to his face. The school is clean, safe, organized and I always felt comfortable having our kids here. We will miss this school!

TLDR: Punished our 3 year old for potty accidents by making him sit in his own poop until I could…read moreget there to pick him up (despite having clean clothes for him and telling us they would help our newly potty trained 3 year old with accidents). If I could leave zero stars, I would. We have a child who just turned 3 years old in June that we enrolled at Northwest Montessori in August 2025. He had been potty trained for about 2 months before we started but with the change, completely regressed. But we were working on it, asking the teachers for guidance on how to handle it, etc. Our child came home telling me one day that his teachers (Miss Rebecca and Miss Beverly) wouldn't let him play at the station he liked because he had an accident (pooped his pants). But I just thought maybe that's just how a 3 year old tells stories... But then yesterday, I got a call from the school. He had another accident. Now we have extra clothes at the school and in the past the teachers have helped him get cleaned up and change his clothes. This was actually something we SPECIFICALLY asked about during our tour (how accidents would be handled, if they would help with wiping since he's still learning, etc and we were told oh, yes absolutely). Then yesterday I got a very rude call from their "director" Debbie who was angry that my child had another potty accident. She was not kind or apologetic but actually snapped "it's not the teacher's job to do this" ... But this "montessori" has 1 year olds as well. So they are a daycare. They change diapers. They had actually mentioned moving him down a class if we needed to when we started but that was as close as they ever came to working with us to find a good solution. *** And when we enrolled, we specifically asked about this and they said they would make him put on his own clothes but they would help clean him up. She then told me that I needed to come pick him up. When I got there, he was pulled out of his room and sitting in a chair, sitting in his own poop. His clean clothes were literally on the floor next to him that they refused to help him with. Because they were mad that he had an accident, they decided to punish him by making him sit in his poop. Three grown women thought it was appropriate to punish a three year old for a bathroom accident by making him sit with a turd in his pants until I could get there (and btw she initially left me a voicemail so they had no idea how long it would take me to get there or to even get their message).

We feel so lucky to have found an amazing school and community through Northview Montessori! When…read morewe were moving out to Boise, mid-pandemic, it was hard to navigate getting our son in school in a place that we had no real parent network in place. At the recommendation of a colleague, we looked into Northview and we could not be happier. After months of hard-to-navigate online pre-k programs back home, we enrolled our son in the in-person program at Northview mid-year. The teachers and staff were patient, attentive and showed extra care in getting our son situated and back in the "groove" of attending school. We kept our son there over the summer, where they did an amazing job balancing active play and lots of outdoor time, with the right amount of learning to stave off the summer learning loss. Now, our guy is in Miss. Debbie's kindergarten class and we are so impressed, seriously... she is a child-whisperer. Patient, understanding, calm, smart, creative and loving. Miss. Debbie does a wonderful job setting up her curriculum to incorporate many Montessori principles while also preparing students to enter into 1st grade in a more traditional setting. Added bonus, the before and after school care that is still developmentally stimulating and fun! The size, access, communication and flexibility of the staff make this school a working parent's dream! Finally, while I know people are in many different places when it comes to things like COVID policies and masking, I appreciate the thought and care that Northview takes in constantly reviewing the latest guidance and working on ways to keep students and their families safe. For me, this has provided incredible piece of mind. In a time of a lot of change and chaos, Northview has been one of the absolute best things we've found in moving to Boise and we will forever be grateful for the foundational love of learning they have helped to spark in our son.
