At Meetinghouse he was included and celebrated and came home everyday full of stories about friends and things he'd learned. He loved his teachers and we want to highlight Ms. Maciolek and Ms. Snow in the young children classroom for their dedication and incredible care. They are so good at what they do. They brought calm and thoughtfulness. Our child talked about them with respect and about what they taught him. Mrs. Lancaster and Ms. Abby instantly connected with our child and made him feel part of a great culture. And Mrs. Smith is outstanding in how she runs the school and the tone she sets. We couldn't be happier and feel so proud how how our child learned to be part of a great group. Thank you!!!

Our child has attended OSMS for two years and is truly thriving. It's amazing to see how deeply she understands math, reading, and science.

When I learned that Miss Dottie used to run the lab school at UMass, I was sold. I feel that people who teach aspiring teachers are up to date on best practices and truly dedicated to the field. We have been very pleased with the school. They have a really great staff to student ratio. There are a lot of interns from UMass, which is very exciting for the children. The class is incredibly diverse, with almost all of the children speaking different languages at home. I would highly recommend it!

We have been so impressed with the things our 3yr old has learned, things I never would have thought she could do at this age, like cleaning her own crumbs off the table; her eagerness to help out with any spills that occur; correctly putting away the cutlery in the drawer when we empty the dishwasher, singing about the continents, etc. She impresses us all the time with what she has learned at school. She loves going and learning as well as having time to play with her friends and get outside. They learn real life skills and lessons. We couldn't be happier!

We tried both the beginner and preschool programs at Keystone. While the initial visit was…read moreimpressive, our experience -- especially in preschool -- revealed deeper concerns. As the school has grown, warmth and flexibility seem to have given way to rigid policies. Keystone has one of the shortest school years and the least daily learning time, with frequent celebrations disrupting classroom flow. Some children need more structure and connection, but concerns were often dismissed. Negative reinforcement ripples through the class, and parents are made to feel small rather than supported. Staff appear professional, but interactions often felt cold. Don't just trust your gut during the tour -- notice how you feel dropping your child off each day. Trust your child. Speak up, even when it's uncomfortable. Things may have improved since, but more openness and responsiveness are still needed.

My children attended the bilingual Montessori School of Sharon and it is truly the best decision we…read morehave ever made. The head of school works tirelessly to provide a safe and loving environment for our children. In addition to the beautiful environment and dedicated staff, the school offers a curriculum like no other schools that we visited. My oldest started reading at 3.5 years and read at 2nd grade level prior to transitioning to private school. We are amazed with our daughter's math skills and how meticulous and kind she became. If you want to invest in a school that will support your child's development, visit the Bilingual Montessori School of Sharon. I highly recommend BMSS to every parent seeking school. Best investment ever for our children!

I relocated to another state and left the school with teary eyes-…read moreFrom the moment I entered BMSS, I knew it was the right school for my children. The warm and welcoming attitude of the administration and staff made us feel right at home. I was astonished by the progress that my children made during their first few months attending the school and onwards. BMSS offers a unique and enriched curriculum that not only aligned with my expectations but also suited the growth and development of my children. During their 4 years at BMSS, they achieved success academically, socially and emotionally. I can still see today the lasting impact that this environment made on them. Even more satisfactory was the progress of my autistic child. My husband and I were unaware of his condition until the Head of school kindly shared her observations with us. They literally changed the trajectory of his life. The Montessori education coupled with the school's tireless efforts towards my children's education was second to none. I would recommend the Bilingual Montessori School of Sharon to any parent seeking a remarkable environment for their children where they can acquire lifelong skills.
