This school has been in Franklin for over 20 years, has certified Montessori educators in every classroom, and full of loving, nurturing, and professional educators who go above and beyond for each child. Both of my children have benefited greatly from MSF, and I would highly recommend it to any family looking for a top notch education for their little ones.

Our family has been at this school for three years. While our two girls (2 1/2 and 6) are very…read moredifferent, we have seen them each grow and flourish at Montessori of Franklin in their own ways. I am confident that this is because of the combination of caring and attentive teachers and a quality Montessori approach to education. As a result of what they've learned at Montessori, both of our children are very self-sufficient (pouring their own milk and juices, putting on their own coats, helping to cut and peel fruits and vegetables, and so much more). Since she began attending the toddler program, our youngest (who had separation difficulties at other schools) has become much more independent and self-confident. She is even excited to go to school and talks about her friends and teachers when at home! In her three years at Montessori, we have seen our oldest daughter grow in ways I cannot even describe--she is growing into a strong, compassionate young girl, with a solid foundation in academics and most importantly a love and passion for learning. This evening, as we were reading bedtime stories, she told me that her friend asked her how she was getting so smart and that she answered, "Because I like to read a lot!" (she has been reading independently since she was 4 years old thanks to her fantastic teacher and Montessori methods!)

I put my baby's name on their toddler wait list one year before the semester starts, and they told me they will finalize the list for the fall semester around February, and they promised to send me an email as soon as they finish the process. But they never send me any emails. So from February to May, we called them numerous times(all goes directly to the mailbox) and never call back. Finally we received a rejection letter from them( send it to my old address) in May. I wrote an follow-up email a week ago, did not hear from them as usual. I know daycare here is very hard to get in especially Montessori, but at least respond in a reasonable time. Otherwise, do not post your email address or phone number on your website if you do not want parents to bother.

We are so fortunate to be able to spend five fabulous years there. We have had two neighbors join the school after hearing me rave about it. The community CSM has created is so special, full of kindness and love. They instill a joy of learning and a strong foundation of skills that will serve children well into their adulthood. It's not only academics - they build real life skills, grace & courtesy, social & emotional resilience, and care of environment. I attribute my child's love of washing dishes and windows solely to the Montessori works she happily chooses in the classroom. She also has been able to participate in enrichment art, dance, and soccer classes during the school day, which is so convenient for working parents. The guides are well-trained and tenured. They managed to have continuous in-person school throughout the 2020-21 school year because they keep their classrooms and school environment so clean and safe. The before-care is free and the after-care is at a reasonable rate. We only need to use the after-care occasionally and my child begs to be allowed to stay more often. Montessori is all about "follow the child" and she shows me everyday that we made a great choice in joining CSM.

We removed our child from Sol Spanish Immersion School after what we believe was a very poor…read moreresponse to a serious child safety issue. In late April, a four-year-old student reportedly exposed himself and inappropriately touched multiple classmates, including our son. Another parent informed us after reviewing school video footage and confronting the administration. When we spoke with our son, he independently confirmed the same behavior without prompting. Another family later reported similar concerns. What disappointed us most was not the behavior of a four-year-old child, but how the school administration handled the situation. In our experience, there was a lack of transparency, inadequate follow-up with families, and no clear effort to determine whether additional children had been affected. When we raised concerns directly with the director, we felt dismissed and ignored. Because of this, we no longer felt confident in the school's judgment or commitment to student safety and withdrew our child. We have reported the matter to CPS and hope the school reevaluates its policies and response to inappropriate sexual behaviors between students so that child safety is treated with the seriousness it deserves.
