Being a military family, schooling is always a stressor when we move to a new location. From the…read moremoment I requested information about Sandwich Montessori School to our last day before moving to our new base, we were treated with understanding and care. My husband went on tour for a year to S. Korea and my toddler was having a particularly difficult time. Once he started at SMS, we noticed such positive response from him. The teachers clearly care about each individual child--not only in school but in their home life. When I had asked if there were any books the school recommended for children with a family member going through deployment, they researched and sent me many different options to help with my child's emotional well being. The Montessori method of teaching coupled with the staff at Sandwich Montessori has given my child the knowledge and confidence to face our ever changing lifestyle. SMS was the best investment our family has made and I only wish we could have had the opportunity to send our kiddos there for their whole educational experience!

Bay Farm Montessori Academy served my children well for the 8 years they attended (before the…read moreMiddle School was added on). The teachers at all levels are nurturing while allowing each child to individually (at their own pace) reach and/or exceed their potential. Especially notable is the arts program and the extended theater program which allows children to perform in plays providing them the confidence to speak in public. The enrichment classes allow preschoolers to practice being on stage, elementary students to join various sports activities, and kindergartners through middle schoolers to join larger productions (such as Annie and Seussical). My children have graduated college, but still fondly remember their Bay Farm experiences.

My son has been going to this school since he was 15 months. Initially our experience started well…read moreand then our son went through 5 teacher changes and there was a lack of continuity between each teacher. It felt like we started from the beginning each time, his strengths, interests, and protective factors were not integrated into his care. He then transitioned into the tree classroom where they had extreme lack of transparency with us. Once he was in the tree classroom for a few months they notified us of disruptive behavior, and we called for a meeting. A plan was made to improve his attention and increasing independence during activities. At parent teacher conferences weeks later it was brought to our attention that our son was not a "good fit" and suggested looking elsewhere though he was diligently working with a specialized teacher who reported progress in all these areas. We felt blind sided and overall disappointed. My son no longer attends and has not shown any of the behaviors from being in the tree room. I hope this is helpful. - Bret

What first hooked met was the philosophy of treating others with respect, of empowerment and a belief in the capabilities of little friends (the kids). And what I grew to love is the how everything they do in a single day (and every day) fosters growth, confidence, curiosity and a love for learning. My daughter has grown so much at Elements, and I truly believe she wouldn't be the same had she not gone there. Paula, Debbie and all staff are so committed to these children!
