Wee Spirit is truly a magical spot. Two of our three boys attended and we are counting the days…read moreuntil our third can follow. In a nutshell, the school embodies pure love. Joani has an incredible ability to read children and understand exactly what is needed in a given situation. The rhythm of the day is lovely and allows the children to settle in and just experience the joy of whatever the current activity is-baking, making trains, playing dolls, digging in the dirt, swinging, sewing, the list goes on and on. The size of the school is nice, because it allows the children (and their families) to form tight bonds that last years. It's a must visit.

I am so glad our child was able to attend La Casita! I was very impressed by the skill level of…read moreeach of the teachers. The play-based learning was implemented in a structured yet free flowing and organic way. I felt that the teachers truly understood the importance of learning in the moment. There was a presence and attentiveness that created the prime atmosphere for learning. La Casita is structured in such a way that builds and supports community. Being a part of this community turned out to be such a gift for our family. In this day in age, it is easy to feel isolated while raising young children. La Casita became much more than a school for us. It felt like a second home! Our family as a whole was able to reap the many benefits of belonging to this awesome community of families and teachers. If you are looking for a school that cultivates your child's unique gifts, staffed with loving teachers, and supported by a strong community of families... then I highly recommend La Casita!

5 STAR REVIEW La Maripossa Montessori school is a total gem…read moreand I am incredibly grateful my 2 children attend the school.  The staff is wonderful and each member of the team is so engaged and genuinely cares for the kids creating a fun learning environment where they can accelerate at the pace that suits each child.  The environment is exceptional with a very creative playground, kids can climb, use swings, take care of live animals including goats, chickens, and horses, it's totally amazing!  The guest teachers that come through are often masters in their fields and enrich the experience with special teachers for subjects such as piano, art, Spanish, and science among many others.   I love that the class rooms include a range of ages to give children the experience of being mentored by older students and eventually becoming a mentor themselves as they progress within the class.  The internationally focused curriculum gives students a sense of their place in the world where different cultures are celebrated.  The decorations and extensive planning that the staff put into holidays is incredible, and it seems like every month there is a wonderful celebration.  The older children are very engaged in the community and go on frequent field trips to places such as animal shelters, an elderly home, and out to train service dogs.  How much fun to go and play with puppies as part of your school work, no wonder the kids are happy when you pick them up!   When the older kids test perfectly in geography, those students are invited out to lunch to a restaurant of that continent as a special treat, what a great incentive.  My sixth grade son even had the opportunity to deliver the American Creed at the roundhouse, which was a huge confidence booster and an excellent experience.  The staff also encouraged us to test him within the John Hopkins University for Talented Youth program and he passed the test with high honors which is now a great accolade going forward. I am in awe that I can honestly say my kids have been happy every time I have picked them up from school.  The level of commitment and attention to detail that is required to achieve that level of happiness within a school environment speaks volumes in itself.  I recommend this school to anyone seeking a truly nurturing, stimulating, positive, creative, dynamic, and healthy environment for their children to give them the very best start in life!

His teachers were willing to work with him on things he needed help with and were so patient with him. My son was so happy to learn to be social and get out of his comfort zone.
