    My son has been attending Discovery Montessori since he was 18 months old, and our experience has…read morebeen truly wonderful. Ms. Lorena was so loving toward both my son and me, and she brought me so much comfort every day at drop-off. Her warm, positive energy clearly had a beautiful impact on him, and one of his sweetest memories will always be the way she introduced him to Brown Bear. My son is now 4 and in Ms. Morgan's class, and she has helped him grow into such a strong, respectful little leader who speaks his mind with confidence. I love how much she cares for him. We even started doing "Ms. Morgan time" at home, where he and I listen to rainforest music and color together. It has become a special quiet time that he takes very seriously, just like he does at school. I have very high standards, and Ms. Ildy and the rest of the teaching staff consistently exceeds my expectations through its creative activities and thoughtful, everyday approaches to teaching. We have chosen to keep him here for another year, even though there are less expensive options, because this is truly the best environment for my son. I can't always protect and shelter him, but when I'm not with him, I know the school is caring for and loving him as if I were there myself.

    We absolutely LOVED our experience at discovery Montessori. We were there since they opened until…read moremy kiddos left for kindergarten. Ms Morgan is top notch and if I have more kiddos I will absolutely send them here again.

    I'm very happy with my daughter attending this montessori school! I looked at a lot of places and…read morethis school had some openings. I believe the openings had something to do with issues with previous leadership. There is a new head and assistant head of school and they are wonderful! I really love my daughters lead guide Ms Ashlee. I'm excited to start the toilet learning journey with her assistance. A few of the other places I toured wouldn't even allow toilet learning until after 2 yrs. I think this is absurd if your child is ready before 2yrs. I must mention, that the other guides and assistants that routinely care for my daughter are also wonderful. Everyone is just nice and friendly. I'm happy with the communication from the school, the security of the grounds, and the cleanliness of the classrooms. I also want to mention that I walk by the Nido room every time I drop off or pick up and I'm impressed by the the attention and activities those kiddos get! It makes a momma's heart fill up to see people truly caring about the children!

    My son has been attending this school for 4 yrs and we have loved every single one. While just like…read morewith any other private school, the turnover of staff can be an issue, it's always been a smooth transition and actually continues to improve. I am a huge advocate for Montessori education and this school has been a great choice for they do follow the Montessori core values in the education, support and environment for the children. We will be so sad to leave when my son ages out of the program/school.

    DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL!!…read more The teachers do not care about the kids! This is literally the worst school we have ever been to, it's so bad that we paid for a whole month (February 2026) but my son only lasted 4 days (no refund). My family and I have never been treated so badly! My poor child was sitting on his poop for what was probably hours because they didn't want to change him. He had the biggest blowout we have ever seen that we had to throw away his clothes. The teacher and Director knew he had a blowout because they tried to cover it up and pretend they didn't see it! On top of this, his teacher Miss M is one of the worst people I've ever met. My son is mostly potty trained which I disclosed to the school and they said it's fine not to worry they understand if he has accidents. Well that is not what happened, anytime he had an accident they were furious! They would scold him and made him so scared to use the toilet from being shamed that he regressed and went back to diapers full time. He would cry anytime we sat him on the potty out of fear we would yell at him because that's what his teacher was doing! We know this because he told us what she would do when he wouldn't go on the potty or have accidents. The last day with his teacher Miss M was the breaking point. He had another accident that she was so furious that she ignored us at pick up wouldn't say hi to us acted like we didn't exist and handed us my son's things and walked away!! And mind you this was his 4th day at this school not even a week and they were treating us this way. This teacher was also very condescending, had no manners wouldn't say hi or bye, always in a bad mood (definitely dislikes kids and her job), extremely passive aggressive, and also micro aggressive. Miss M has no business being around children let alone teaching them. I don't say this lightly when I say she truly is a terrible person. Who yells and scolds a child for having an accident?! If you care about your child do not come to this school!! P.S. do not get fooled by their positive reviews, they are from years ago!

Any concerns I have are always addressed with the utmost care and consideration. I am happy to have found such a great school with amazing teachers and director.

My son LOVES them like family. They took incredible care of him, taught him so much, and truly helped me raise him. I cannot recommend them enough--having them in our lives was one of the best things to ever happen to my little family. The only reason we left was because it was time for him to move on to preschool, and honestly, I wish he could have stayed with them forever. If you're looking for someone to love, teach, and nurture your child as if they were their own, Mama Pari is the one. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Elmira is incredible and will always be family to us! She loves the children like her own and creates a safe and loving space for the kids. She is constantly doing fun projects, painting, drawing, playing with the kids, all the interactive activities, singing, dancing and so much more! My daughter thrived at her daycare! She truly is incredible and not to mention makes all the kids homemade food which is amazing. Elmira has a heart of gold and we will always be so thankful and grateful for her!! Miss Ellie is a true blessing! Your child will be in the best hands with Elmira

    After more than six years at Robin Hood Montessori, it's hard to put into words what this school…read morehas meant to our family. My daughter started in the baby room, and this week she is finishing the summer program before beginning first grade. She leaves Robin Hood not only academically ready, but with the confidence, curiosity, kindness, and independence to step into an entirely new chapter. Words can barely express the gratitude I feel for the teachers and staff who have helped shape the little girl she is today. Shyla has grown into someone who demonstrates leadership, responsibility, kindness, and respect--not only at school, but in the way she supports her teammates, listens to her coaches, and treats the people around her. She is carrying the roots of Robin Hood with her. She isn't leaving the best parts behind; she is carrying them forward. To me, the purpose of education isn't simply to keep children in a classroom. It is to send them into the world a little more capable, a little more curious, and a little more themselves. Robin Hood has done exactly that for our daughter. Thank you to every teacher who ever knelt beside her, encouraged her curiosity, comforted her, challenged her, and helped her grow. Thank you to every friend who made her feel like she belonged. And thank you for every morning we walked her through those doors trusting Robin Hood to help us shape our daughter into the wonderful little person she is becoming. We will always be grateful for these six extraordinary years.

    We have been members of the Robin Hood family since 2020 when our son was 6 months old and 3 years…read morelater we enrolled our daughter when she was 3 months old. Choosing this school has been one of the best decisions we have made as parents. The teachers and director are not only talented, but extremely kind and caring. Our son just graduated kindergarten, and he has been developed into a kind, caring, thoughtful, hardworking and well rounded young man. At 6 years old, it is hard to believe how much Robin Hood has thought him. I am amazed daily. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

    This is an amazing place to send your kiddos! My child started going when he was 18 months. Before…read morethis he was at an in home daycare and we felt like he was starting to fall behind with speech and walking. Within a few weeks, village turned things around. Ms Marieva, Estephanie, Naghma from the infant room made us feel comfortable during our first two tours and even had him join a circle time before we committed and a meet and greet before he started. The teachers are so loving, kind but also firm. Regardless of what time of day we stopped by, the kids were well tempered and the teachers were calm. They also had a lot of crafts and fun pictures to take home. He moved up to the 2-3 class and Ms Lauren and Monika made it a smooth transition for him! They have Montessori time each day to choose and complete activities, tons of art and time playing outside. The owners Sam and Nayna are the cherry on top. They know all the kids and parents, are never too busy to chat or ask questions and didn't pressure us at all when we were touring, they wanted to make sure it was a good fit both ways. They proactively communicate and plan fun events for the entire school. In fact, teachers on a daily basis were highly communicative letting us know if they didn't eat much (in the infant class), why they changed their clothes if dirty and if they seemed to feeling under the weather. Highly recommend this place, you will not regret it!!

    My dear son attended Village Montessori Center from the age of 2 through 5, and I couldn't be more…read moregrateful for the incredible experience he had during those important early years. From the very beginning, every teacher and staff member welcomed him with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. Over the years, he's grown in every way possible. Academically, he was gently and thoughtfully guided through foundational skills like writing, reading, and basic math, all while engaging in creative art projects and fun hands-on activities that made learning exciting (I'm also incredibly grateful for the support I received in those early years with milestones like potty training). But beyond academics, what I'm most thankful for is how much confidence he's gained. When he first started, he was quite shy. But through the loving support of his teachers and the nurturing environment at VMC, he's blossomed into a confident, social, and joyful little boy. Now that he's started kindergarten, he is not only well-prepared academically, but he's thriving and making friends easily and adjusting beautifully to a new classroom environment. I'd like to give a very special thank you to Ms. Nayna, whose patience and unwavering support made such a difference in my son's journey. She always went above and beyond--not only by treating every child with love and care, but also by taking extra care to check and make sure my son's allergies were avoided. Her attentiveness and kindness meant the world to us. Thank you to everyone at VMC for laying such a strong foundation and making his transition to kindergarten such a smooth and successful one. We will always look back on these years with deep appreciation and gratitude!
