Our son has been at Burlington Montessori for two years. He is extremely happy there, and so are we. He's made wonderful progress academically, socially, and creatively. The staff at BMS is incredibly diverse, which contributes to a rich learning environment for the children. They are exposed to different cultures and are developing a world view that is larger than their block. Miss Rubina takes a close interest in our son's progress, even suggesting curriculum and activities to keep up through the summer, which he has shown a keen interest in. The staff are incredibly involved and considerate. We are so grateful we have a wonderful school that we have confidence sending our child to. The only thing we are sorry about is that the school doesn't go beyond grade 1, we would stay as long as possible in this rich, nurturing environment. read more

Absolutely wonderful school. Our son has attended for two years so far and we are so excited to be able to send him for a third year. His little sister can't wait to start as well. His teachers are warm and caring and also challenge him beautifully. read more

My son has been attending BMS since Sept 2021. I can not say enough about how much we appreciate the teachers and staff. They are loving, conscientious and kind. We have been thrilled with our son's progress not only academically but also socially and emotionally. His vocabulary is out of this world and the questions he asks about complex topics are well beyond his 4 years. He is clearly developing a mind for asking questions, love for learning and appreciation for art, nature and the beauty in the world around him. I also find the teachers and staff to be very down to earth and easy to work with in general. We receive photos of the kids' activities and lovely detailed emails about their curriculum. The quality and frequency of communication from the staff is excellent. They take safety very seriously as well which we appreciate. They have been extremely proactive throughout the pandemic taking steps to keep the kids and their family safe. As a PA at Boston Children's I can't say enough about how great a job they did throughout given the ever changing recommendations and immense challenges. They are extremely organized and thoughtful regarding planning for day to day events. They hold special events for the kids on a regular basis such as puppet shows and performance programs. I was especially touched by the mother's day and father's day programs held this year. The graduation for the kids was also very special. I love their messages of peace, love, citizenship and courtesy. We have been in awe of the gentle and thoughtful care and education of our son by his teacher, his assistant teacher and also all of the teachers who support him throughout his days. I have to address the negative review I read on here and I really don't understand where it is coming from. Based on my research BMS is very reasonable price wise and they follow the same schedule as Burlington Schools in terms of vacations which I don't think is out of the ordinary. We do provide lunch and bring a snack for 20 kids once a month but it isn't a big deal, just a fruit and a dry snack and the teachers are certainly not picky about what we bring. I'm not sure how they would be expected to cook or provide lunch for 60 kids outside of a public school without a cafeteria. My son has never been forced to do anything while at school so I'm really at a loss as to that person's comments. I find the comments about teachers with accents to be highly offensive and I am very grateful for the diversity at my son's school. My son just turned 4 and he is already learning math concepts and to write his name and certain words. As for the owner of the school, I consider her to be one of the most special people I have met. I look up to her as a teacher, business owner, mom and human being. I am so grateful she is a part of my son's life and I credit her and the teachers at BMS with helping mold my son into a wonderful, thoughtful, loving and happy little guy. We look forward to sending his sister when she is old enough as well! read more

I highly recommend Burlington Montessori. Both of my kids went through their program and we loved it. Teachers and administrators were fantastic and my boys left with a love for learning. They also did a great job staying open as much as possible during COVID and always kept the kids and staff safe and the kids best interest as the highest priority. Thank you so much, Sahar, Lisa, Dan and all the teachers! We will miss you. read more

If you are looking for good old American childcare, this is not the place. Overall, BMS lacks friendly and nurturing environment that the little ones really need. Teachers are grumpy and quite abrupt with the kids. Population: three classes of mixed age kids 20 each, so 60 kids. The chances that your's will get individual attention is very slim. You do not want your child to be there, trust me! Facilities: everything is old, dusty, dirty, messy and not kept up well. The OWNER IS CHEAP, she is in this business for money, no one here cares about your child nor you, so do not expect any customer service. Even though tuition increases significantly every year, not a single dime is spent to make the premises cleaner and brighter for the kids. Quality of daily cleaning is questionable. I only see one lady who comes around 4 and leaves in 30 minutes. It's physically impossible to thorowly clean a large place like that in a such a short period of time. Bathrooms are old and smelly, soap is watery, children unable to get to the towel dispenser. NO SNACK or LUNCH is provided. Parents have to bring snack for the whole class and then lunch for the child. The staff constantly complains that parents did not bring enough fruits and veggies, or wrong snack due to rare allergies of other kids. Staff forces kids to finish lunch so they do not have to give them snack. How awful! Quality of education: most of the teachers speak with heavy accents and limited vocabulary which can seriously impact children's development. The Montessori method they are forcing onto the kids is pretty much mechanical repetition and memorization of material that is often too advance for the age. Therefore, it is more difficult for the kids to understand and adapt into real life. Based on feedback from other parents, after 2 years of BMS perfectly healthy children do not know how to read or write their name. Montessori curriculum significantly lacks artistic disciplines. Apart from poorly orchestrated Spring play, they do some minimal drawings, but even here it's done on tiny tiny papers - god forbid they spend an extra dollar on crayons and large sheets of paper. I've never seen them use color paper either. Just like I said earlier, you will be dealing with FRUGAL OWNER who is saving everywhere she can. BMS is taking every single holiday and school vacation off and more. If you are a working parent, prepare to be absent from work frequently in addition to sick days. If you decide to tour this place, ask a lot of questions to better understand what you and your child are gonna experience. The owner has low patience and easily gets frustrated with questions, that's another sign that you should run and never return. read more

We love all the teachers here, A special shoutout to miss Lisa!
