This school has been the find of our lives. Our first child went to MM from ages 3-6, after going…read moreto 3 other schools and there is something so incredibly special about this school it's simply impossible to put into words. It will always remain one of the best things we did for our son (who's now 8 yo and in grade 2), we see the difference in him in so many tremendous ways and it started with this school. Our 2 year old daughter now goes there, there is no better school for them. Leslie who runs the school has been doing this for 40 years, the team of teachers are all so special and have been with her for such a long time. The energy of the school is priceless, it's calm, structured, dynamic and respectful, and I love that it lays this foundation for the kiddos. The way they teach and learn there really fostered incredible independence in both my kids, and invaluable confidence and a real true love for learning. I couldn't possibly have found a better foundation for my children, and I owe it to Leslie and her crew. I remember the first day I went and "observed" my son at school I was in tears, blown away at what he was able to do at such a young age, and so happy to see him in an environment that allows him to thrive in his unique individualized way, I love that it builds this competence in them while at the same time maintaining a structured respectful environment to also ensure kids learn respect and appropriate behaviors. Thank you Leslie! We will always be grateful for what you guys have done for our family - such important and amazing work you incredible humans do there! So much love for you all! So lucky to have found you!

Montessori Manor has been wonderful for our son in his first year of half-day preschool. He…read moreabsolutely loves all of his teachers and talks about them constantly. The Montessori program with its hands-on approach has been so good for him. His fine motor coordination skills have improved so much, and he's singing all the time now. The calm, prepared environment immediately put him at ease, and we've watched his confidence, focus, and independence grow every day. We especially appreciate Miss Leslie's leadership. As the director, she's created such an amazing program--her experience and passion shine through in how she trains the teachers and connects with every child. We're so happy he'll be returning next year for full-day. We're truly grateful for such a nurturing start to his education--highly recommend!

My 5yo attended Madrone for about 7 months in 2018 and it was a great experience. We enrolled her…read morefor half days because her public Kindergarten was over at 11am and I needed her to have a full day of school when I returned to work full time. (Also I didn't feel like half day K was enough for her inquisitive mind.) The school was flexible about our unusual attendance arrangement, though understandably, it didn't cost much less for a half day slot vs. full day. They always made her feel welcome when she came in mid-day. She really loved it there, despite being a kid who chafes at rules at home - she really thrived in that environment. Teacher Angela was fantastic and they quickly gave my child appropriate work for her level since she started already knowing how to read and being able to do basic addition and subtraction. Their written evals were detailed and helpful, and I felt like they really got to know my child in a short time. Their summer program was fantastic and their extended care option was flexible for the times we needed a little extra care. They also had a fantastic "Parents Night Out" where they also welcomed siblings, and we took advantage of that a few times. This is a true Montessori, where kids are expected to learn how to be self-directed. We came from less-rigid Montessori schools, so getting used to the strict dress code was hard for us as parents, but my daughter was fine with it. Our daughter entered a rigorous Mandarin immersion program the next year in 1st grade, and Madrone prepared her VERY well for it. I'd highly recommend it if you are open to a more academic environment for your pre-K/kindergartner and want to encourage independence.

In addition to the social aspect, their Math skills continue to progress and their vocabulary and passion for reading has exploded.

I was also nervous about this school because it is a new school this year and I had to take a leap of faith that it would work out for my child. Mr. Jeff and Ms. Jen for the lower elementary class are absolutely a fantastic team and my child LOVES going to school every day! I know new schools always have some kinks to work out, so I am happy that they have run so smoothly the very first year they are open. The beginning of the year seemed chaotic, but what new business or school wouldn't be the opening year?! We just completed our enrollment for this fall and are very excited for our child's future at this school!

"Application" process was easy and I did a virtual tour via FaceTime with Millie (one of the owners). She was super calm and answered every single question I had & showed me every nook and cranny or the school and where kiddo was going to be. PK2 here we come! 1st day I don't think it ever gets easier sending your kiddo to a new school. Kiddo was a touch apprehensive of a new environment but Teacher Nikki was so incredibly warm and welcoming to kiddo (and hubs and I)! Immediately I knew he was going to be just fine. We met Teacher Monique the next day or so - they coteach PK2 - and she's a gem. Both teachers are warm & caring (like aunties) and their love for teaching shines through! The classroom Together Monique & Nikki have created a thriving classroom full of areas to explore with defined spaces & boundaries. There a reading circle, pet fish, reading pod, and then nap mats for the kiddos to use after lunch before afternoon activities. If the kids don't nap they do have the option to read/look at books quietly. The PK2 classroom has two restrooms with kiddo sized toilets and sinks. Each season brings new decorations to the classroom (and school). There are days when kiddo is having a rough morning and both Teacher Nikki and Teacher Monique are angels getting him into class quickly, settled and then sharing with us that he's ok which I so appreciate because there's nothing worse than leaving your kiddo in tears! The school overall Goddard does a host of extra activities- summer bbq, Father's Day celebration, Trunk-or-Treat, holiday concert to name a few. Each brings the Goodard teachers & families together in a special way, along all to get to know each other a little better, enabling us partner for our kid's. Goddard is a pretty special place. One that is developing our kid in an amazing way and preparing him for kindergarten!
