Origins Montessori is the BEST. I have tried to write this review so many times but I just can't…read moresay enough good things about this place. I remember being skeptical in the beginning and I was so confused by how a school could have so many five star reviews. But I quickly learned that Origins deserves every star it has. We did so much research to find childcare. We called and toured dozens of schools. I can honestly say we probably called every school in the 20 mile radius and toured at least ten. We still ended up at a school that ultimately disappointed us. I cannot believe how hard it is to find good childcare. Our son was safe at his old school but that was it. He cried at every drop off, he was silent at school, and he was miserable when he got home. From day one, Origins was a completely different experience. We can tell our son genuinely loves going to school. I finally knew peace as a parent when we started at Origins Montessori. Our son has truly blossomed at this school. He talks about his friends and his teachers at home all the time. The teachers at Origins are exceptional. They are kind, they are caring, they are passionate and they are communicative. A parent's dream. They make school so fun with engaging activities while allowing the kids independence and exploration. Special shout out to our teacher, Ms. P. And the school director is a star. She is experienced, passionate and professional; you can tell right away. She runs Origins so well. Origins is reliable, affordable, and clean. We have not been sick one time because of daycare germs since switching schools (we used to have a 'daycare sick' every other week). I want to say so much more but nothing I say will be enough. Just trust me when I say, Origins Montessori will give you the best care you could ask for your child. *If you made it this far, I want to share a few particular anecdotes because I know how stressful it is leaving your child in others' care. 1. One time our son fell asleep on the drive to school. When this happened at his old daycare, they said I had to wake him up or take him home. I fully expected the same at Origins. But when we got there, his teacher got a bed ready for him and let him sleep in the back room until he was rested. I was amazed and so grateful as a parent. 2. One day, our son didn't want to eat what we packed him for lunch. Instead of letting him go hungry (as his other daycare did), the Origins team texted me and asked if they could give him something from their snack supply. 3. Our son's old daycare had cameras and yet, I still feel safer and more confident leaving him at Origins without cameras because his behavior and positive attitude about school tells me everything I need to know about his treatment at Origins. We could not have found a better place than Origins Montessori for our child.

Origins Montessori School was incredible in helping my 3-year-old son adapt after our move from…read moreIndia to the US. Ms. Buddhini and the teachers were especially wonderful - their gentle nature and dedication made a huge difference in my son's transition. They showed amazing patience as he worked through his initial English language challenges, always finding creative ways to help him understand and participate. The school's culturally sensitive approach and skilled Montessori teaching methods helped him make friends easily and develop strong language skills over his two years there. Ms. Buddhini and the entire staff created such a nurturing environment that my son truly flourished. Highly recommended !

We are going into his third year of enrollment and I'm constantly amazed at how much he has bloomed and what he has learned in his time there. The teachers are absolute gems, the administration is attentive and personable, and the whole school feels like a community. I love that my son is exposed to things that I can't expose him to on an everyday basis, especially other cultures and traditions. We live about 35 minutes from the school and the commute is totally worth it for the school. I could not have asked for a better fit for our family!

Our "slow to warm up" kiddo loved it on the first day and was always happy and excited on "school" days. They really let the kids be who they are, meet them where they are, and foster their interests. He was able to paint everyday and they have a music teacher, which is great. The playground is lovely and the kids/other families are kind. I highly recommend. Also, they are associated with Greenwood Forest Baptist church, but it is a non-religious pre-school and GFBC supports LBTQIA and BLM.

It was the best decision we could have made for our children that year. The Director Ms Mary and all the teachers there are wonderful , approachable and very hardworking. My children learnt so much at GMA in the 1 year that they were there that I wish I had sent them to GMA right from the beginning -we really miss the school. The school has a curriculum which they set out for the year( they email the schedule at the beginning of the year). The children enjoyed many field trips . My children learnt complex science terms, history, music and much more. GMA does not advertise much. Its mainly word of mouth publicity. I am glad to see they finally made an appearance on yelp which is why I am posting here. GMA is also open to newborns and toddlers but I do not have experience with those teachers so cannot really say much. They also have a school bus in case you cannot pick or drop off your children to school and I liked the fact they are open almost all year except during the December holidays ( a blessing for working parents). One area of improvement is that I wish they had a better play yard but overall that was less of a concern for me.
