I was terrified to put my daughter In school as a first time mom. I actually couldn't handle the anxiety so I pulled her out after I was sobbing all day the first day she was gone. Well, penny and the staff were not only empathetic but made me feel comfortable doing things on my own time table. So when I decided to try again a week later I was welcomed with open arms. The quality of the teachers here feels more like a family. Everyone in the school helps each other. Miss Jazzy, Miss Caitlin, really every single teacher I have ever met has made me feel like home. They all know your child and love your child. Miss Wulan and Miss Ann Marie were her home room teachers and wow. These woman.. they don't make them like this anymore! Positive, loving, personal, engaged are only a few ways to describe them. They have been absolutely instrumental to Logan's growth and experience. She has thrived and become a social butterfly. These teachers never look tired and are always up beat. Ms Chrystal at the front desk always welcomes you with warmth and familiarity and never judged how many incident reports my daughter had. I was always met with comfort and understanding whenever I was worried about something my Daughter had done! And the school is owned and managed by Penny who is a GEM of a human being. These women are loving, smart, and are valued so much. They deserve the world and I'm so grateful to have found them. I'm forever in debt to this school and all it has done for myself and my daughter. Also, they know how much I love them and never once asked for a review. But if you are a nervous mom, or want an honest take, please ask penny for my number and I'd be happy to walk you through how they made this experience incredible.

From the very first visit, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. You can tell the team really loves what they do. Our main teacher is always so happy around the children, you can feel her joy, and it really stood out compared to other places we toured. All the teachers are kind and smiling, and they take the time to connect with both the children and the parents. It's such a warm, supportive environment. Literally everyone is so nice! Another huge factor for us was safety and peace of mind. As a parent, being able to drop off your child without worrying is everything, and this preschool makes that possible. The classroom ratios are low, the environment is always clean, the sign-in process is secure, and they're thoughtful about food and nutrition. We've also had no issues with recurring colds or back-to-back illnesses, which has been such a relief. All of that makes a big difference. They've also been incredibly flexible, willing to work with us to make sure our child feels comfortable, whether that means bringing a favorite stuffy from home or making food & drink accommodations. They even have an easy, healthy lunch ordering system, which has been such a plus for our busy mornings. There are always fun activities and themes planned, plus special events like Splash Days and the petting zoo! We get daily updates (naps, meal times) and photos, which we look forward to every day. Our child is always excited to go, and it's clear the other children are happy too. This location has such a cozy, close-knit feel, and the whole team is just wonderful. We're so thankful we found this place, it truly feels like a second home. Special thank you to Ms. Sydni, Ms. Crystal, Ms. Maressa, Ms. Diane, Ms. Caitlin, Ms. Jazmine, Ms. Mahjoba, and Ms. Penny, you've all made such a difference for our family

We cannot recommend Spondeo Montessori Preschool & K-3 enough. My son attended for three years, and…read morethe impact this school has had on his growth is truly invaluable. During a season of complex family dynamics, the staff showed exceptional kindness, understanding, and professionalism. They provided a safe, stable, and deeply nurturing environment where my son was able to thrive during some of the most important early childhood developmental years. The Montessori approach to child-led learning was beautifully implemented. Beyond academics, my son gained incredible life skills... gardening, cleaning, food preparation, understanding personal space, and practicing etiquette. These practical skills built his confidence and independence in ways that extend far beyond the classroom. Today, he is thriving both socially and academically, and I credit so much of that foundation to his time at Spondeo. The director Andrea is one of the most kind, child-centered, and professional women I have ever met. She runs the school exceptionally well and is highly involved in the daily life of the students and teachers. You can truly feel her heart for children in everything the school does. We are so grateful for our time there and would wholeheartedly recommend Spondeo to any family looking for a nurturing, enriching Montessori education.

We have been absolutely thrilled with our experience at Spondeo Montessori. Our son has been…read moreattending this daycare for nearly a year, starting when he was just 8 months old. The care and attention he received in the infant room were exceptional, with the staff always providing individualized care (like easing him into the day with his favorite basket of balls), even sending us photos and updates throughout the day, which put our minds at ease. Now that he has transitioned to the toddler room, we continue to be impressed by how much he is learning and growing. The Montessori approach has truly supported his natural curiosity and independence. Whether it's through sensory activities, practical life exercises, or outdoor play, we see him thriving and hitting key developmental milestones like learning to communicate better (thank you sign language) and developing fine motor skills. The staff is loving, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's development, always encouraging his progress while keeping us closely informed about his day-to-day experiences. The facilities are clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed to create a warm and stimulating environment for the children. We also appreciate how the school fosters a sense of community among families, hosting events and providing resources that allow us to feel even more connected to our child's learning journey. When we were looking at daycares we considered other Montessori-based daycares (some independently owned and some franchise), and we're so glad that we chose Spondeo! We found that the franchise based Montessori daycares felt more adjacent to a regular daycare and didn't offer the same level of independence and problem-solving that we offer at home. Spondeo does such a great job respecting our child's abilities! We couldn't be happier with the level of communication, support, and involvement the staff maintains with us as parents. We highly recommend Spondeo Montessori to any parents looking for a nurturing, educational, and enriching daycare environment for their child. It has been the perfect fit for our family!

We have had two scares involving our child and there was absolutely no evidence other than second and third-hand stories, what we could piece together from our child's limited vocabulary, and scratches on their skin. I've also gone in to pick up our child, to find a completely new caregiver I had never seen before taking care of the kids. In 2024 there is no reason that parents should not be able to check in on their kids virtually whenever they want to. We get a few pictures of our kid a day through the app, and we are missing thousands of little moments in their development. Enough is enough.

When we toured, they let us check out the room, meet the teachers and ask tons of questions. They are accomodating to parental requests - such as if you would like to substitute meals, or provide specific snacks. For example, we prefer that our son doesn't consume too much sugar (he's got enough energy as is...!), so we requested that when juice is served that it is watered down 50/50, and they have been very accomodating. He has some food sensitivities and they have substituted snacks when necessary. We enjoy having the updates on the app - we get a few photos a day of what he's doing, along with notifications of any diaper changes, what he's eating and how much, and how long and when he naps! Once in a while we get videos as well and it's so lovely to get little updates through the day. Miss Serenity and Miss Katie have been so lovely, and he looks forward to seeing them and his classmates. The socialization has been great for him. We have always had great interactions with the staff. We recommended Calvary Preschool to a friend, and they enrolled their baby and have been loving it too!

My daughter has flourished here--she's become a confident reader and has learned so much during her time in kindergarten. She's now fully prepared and excited to start 1st grade! I believe education and morals start at home, but having a school that reinforces those values is such a gift. Communication is top-notch--they use an app to keep parents informed, whether it's updates on classroom activities or even small incidents like a fall on the playground. I always feel in the loop and confident that my daughter is in great hands. We feel safe and secure every day she's there, and I'm excited to say that my son will be starting preschool at Montessori Education Center next year. I couldn't imagine a better place for my children to grow and learn.
