We had such an incredible year here! I was so nervous to send our (then) three year old to…read morepreschool because he'd never had any daycare experience. He attended Ms Jaye's three year old class three days a week and it was just the perfect experience. He has grown so much over the past year, made so many new friends and really learned a lot. The staff is so supportive and kind and the classroom size was small enough that each kid gets really great attention. There were lots of fun activities throughout the year including a petting zoo, music class, parties, science days, trips to the library and my favorite of all, field trips to Bethel Gardens to share songs and fellowship. All of this at a very reasonable price! We are so sad to say goodbye to our family here but look forward to taking all we've learned with us. I could not have asked for better transition into the school experience, thank you!

Our goal is for each child to have a great time in an atmosphere of love and acceptance. Our teachers are loving and caring Christian women who seek to provide a learning environment that will maximize your child's transition into the public school system. Basic Christian values and ideals will be taught. Your child will be introduced to the educational and social skills that they will use throughout their lives. We feel that God called us to the ministry of caring for your children by living out the message of God's love expressed through Jesus Christ.

What a wonderful experience for educational beginnings. The children are happy, socially and academically educated, proud of their school, taught about God, Jesus and prayer, and creatively amazing. I have never met a teacher or any staff member who was not top notch. They truely love the students and their jobs. Tuition is quite fair. Extracurricular activities are available. This school is 5 Star in my opinion, and I highly recommend it.

We were nervous about taking him out of a program he was so familiar with. But due to the amazing teachers and administration at Vinings Academy, he adjusted so quickly.

They teach the children different languages and it has been so adorable having the kids come home and sing songs in Spanish to us.

It also fosters independence and my kids are capable of so many things that I never thought they would be at their ages. The teachers are kind and patient, but firm, and they really get to know you children and appreciate who they are as individuals. The fresh, healthy snacks from a local co-op are just a bonus. My only problem with the school is that it doesn't go past age 6. We'll be so sad to leave!

I have a 2 year old and 5 year old at SMS. My 5 year old has been attending since he was 3 and the…read moreschool opened. We were planning on homeschooling but I still wanted our kids to start with some school environment experience. Smyrna Montessori School was everything we were looking for. My children get lots of individual attention, are encouraged to explore and learn as much as they want and have had some wonderful friendships develop. There is a strong sense of respect modeled through kindness towards the teachers, classmates, learning materials and the world (cultures, the environment). The teachers love my children like they were their own and are passionate about the Montessori style of learning. Both of my children have gained a lot of confidence and independence since they began there. If I ever have a question I can set up a time to talk with any teacher. I'm always impressed with how aware they are of everything my child deals with on a daily basis, what their strengths are, how much progress they have made in areas of behavior, character and learning. I do wish they extended beyond the Primary program (3-6 years). I don't think there is any problem with illness any different than any other school environment. I don't love that the lead toddler teacher spot has changed hands a few times, but I understand that when a teacher has a baby she will want to take time to be with her new baby. This has been the only reason for teachers leaving that I am aware of. Those teachers have stayed in contact with the school and return for visits when possible. We feel very fortunate to be at Smyrna Montessori School and are so happy it opened at the perfect time for our kids. And as far as safety goes, our children are referred to as precious gifts, children are not allowed out of the classroom unless a teacher or parent is with them and the school and yard are secured during the day. I have no concern for my children's safety at all. Montessori is a different approach to learning than what a lot of people are used to, but for us it has been perfect. Oh, and I LOVE that I get an email and photos every week from each of my kids teachers touching on what the kids are working on and enjoying and some explanation about the Montessori process.

We haven't had any issues with random marks or bruises. The teachers care about our children which is not as common as you would think in a preschool environment.

They also accommodate dietary needs and are a Christian school that focus on values that positively guide your child.
