Every staff member knows each child and creates such a kind, nurturing environment. One thing we especially appreciated was the consistency. His main teachers were with him the entire time, which meant so much to us and to him. They were always incredibly accommodating with our part time schedule and the last minute changes that come with life. As our son moves on, we're excited to have welcomed a new little one, and we have no doubt he'll be attending MSEE when the time is right. Thank you, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Shawna, Miss Carrie, and Mrs. Jessica, for everything you've done for our family. We are so grateful!

Our son started here at 12 months, so there was a little transition period (a few weeks), but quickly after he was thriving and I can tell that he genuinely loves going to school. No tears, just excitement to step into the classroom and start his "Montessori work". I also love how much they prioritize time outdoors and independence.

Director communicates clearly. No they don't have an app, which we did get used to at our last place. But honestly the pictures and diaper updates at the old place didn't do anything to change her experience. It was worth giving up that to feel better at drop off. You do need to prepare and bring your own kiddos lunch but that is a plus in my book bc we can give our currently 2 year and 2 month year old skinny gal organic and nutrients dense stuff.

It's such an inspiring group of educators and families who truly believe in the school's mission.

My child has attended 3 Montessori Schools in 2 different states. This was by far the least…read morehospitable and supportive environment of any school she has attended (Upper Elementary). A couple of things that I would call out. 1. The school itself is very cliquish and allows a "Mean Girls" environment to exist. This is very different than the kind and welcoming cultures we have experienced at other Montessori Schools. 2. Specialization between students is treated as a nuisance by the teachers. On multiple occasions we asked for our child to be challenged more academically after coming home every day in tears about being bored. In each instance the teachers made commitments but then failed to follow through. 3. For the last 4 weeks of Spanish class the teacher had them re watch the same Cinco De Mayo celebration again and again. 4. They used our emergency contact information to solicit money from friends and family. 5. Despite the items above and based in large part on assurances from teachers, we committed to another year at the school to avoid another transition for our child. Once we were locked into the pricey financial investment for the following year, the assurances fell through and the school refused to let use out of our contract despite a questionable ability to meet our child's needs. My advice to those who consider MSD would be to not let the tour fool you. If you are looking for education tailored to your child's needs in a warm environment, this is not the school for you. We are currently paying MSD tuition while sending our daughter to a public school. We get a specialized and tailored learning plan, a teacher that follows through on commitments and and a Spanish class that teaches Spanish. It is worth every penny.

Not to take scripture out of context, but this is our initial impression of this school and…read moreadmissions representative: "And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet..." Going through the admissions process, it unfortunately became evident that we would not be welcomed or received well at this school. That is fine, I understand that is the case sometimes, but children should not be referred to as "burdens" or "inconveniences". All children should feel loved and supported regardless of where they are in their academic journey. Private schools need to remember that private education is a two way street. We are evaluating you just as much as you are evaluating families. Based on multiple interactions with admissions, I would not enroll my children at this school. I'm sure there are fine people that work here and care about the kids, but when the gate keepers seem judgmental, bias, and indifferent towards your children and situation, it unfortunately deters people. "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
