SLAM DUNK, HOME RUN, 100% the right decision for my son who is 23 months old. I am beyond elated…read morethat we chose River Valley Montessori in Savage. We were at a different location previously that our oldest son had gone to but noticed it going down hill and our son was getting sick on a weekly basis. After a TON of research, phone calls and tours we decided on RVM due to the cleanliness and onsite staff. The Director, Jasmine, is professional, caring, thorough and does a fantastic job. Not only has my son not gotten sick since starting, he is now sleeping through the night and is all around more communicative and happy. We are so excited that RVM opened in Savage and are super excited to have our son grow with the business! Thank you Ms. Jasmine, Ms. Regina, and Ms. Kara! You are ALL ROCKSTARS!

We have had our son at this school since he was a toddler and he is graduating Kindergarten this…read moreyear. Before we signed him up we would walk on the trails nearby and be amazed at the outdoor space this school offers. We would see kiddos in rain or shine deeply into play. We scheduled a tour and rest is history, we were hooked! We have watched our son happily go to school every day, seen him grow and thrive both social emotionally but also academically. The guides are amazing at what they do and the building, classrooms and grounds are deeply rooted in the Montessori method and gives our child plenty of room to grow both mentally and physically. Its a must see!

This school is amazing. My children have come so far while attending. I have seen unbelievable…read morechanges in how they interact with others, how they manage themselves at home, and how independent they can be. The teachers are so kind, the environment is bright and clean and inviting. My younger son has always been very strong willed, and refuses to be coerced into anything, but at school, he has begun to challenge himself more and more. Skills that we can't get him to try at all, he suddenly comes home willing and proud to show us. The community is warm, and I adore everyone there. It's affordable, small, and very personal. I can't recommend Augsburg Park Montessori enough.

This a spacious, beautiful school with a stand-out teacher group! Our daughter started at this…read moreschool after relocating to Minnesota when she was 6 months old. Thanks to the many caring hands in the infant room, she adapted quickly and happily goes to school everyday. As new parents, we have the wonderful teachers here to thank for helping raise our little girl (now 13 months) into an independent, well-rounded child. We are impressed by the talented staff, diversity of programs and genuine care each staff member shows toward our daughter, even those that do not interact with her on a daily basis. We are looking forward to having her grow through this Montessori program and highly recommend this school to anyone looking for trustworthy childcare.

Ms. Kristi is Linc's teacher. All he does is talk about what they learned and going back to see his teacher. If my son is happy, I am happy! It is a fantastic atmosphere for all children, no matter their challenges!

The music teacher is incredible and the programs they put on for the parents and families are so amazing. I would love to see the teachers get more of the salary than the bigwig who runs the show. I would also love to see a woman running the school instead of an overpaid man.

He is very happy in school and always makes faces when I pick him up because he is having fun learning new things every day. From class teachers to lunch lady, director to principal, everyone welcomes you with a warm heart and takes very good care of your child. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for the best child care in the city.

My son turns 4 at the end of November and recently transitioned to his 4th child care center. As a…read moremom, I was worried about this tradition now that he understands the concept of "going to school." Needless to say, this transition has been nothing short of amazing for both my son, and myself! The staff at River Valley Montessori are passionate professionals who welcome everyone with a friendly face. The classrooms have current toys that are unique to the Montessori community and are clean and spacious. The entire experience for us has been seamless. He also has adjusted to his environment, showing developmental and social growth of milestones and concepts already within his first month! The price is affordable and fits our budget well in comparison to other nearby competitors and they offer spontaneous promotions for incoming families - which helps financially!! They are big on promoting a positive culture and safe environment. They also offer family events for connection and engagement every month, which I personally love. Thankful for River Valley Montessori Savage being our second home, and place to establish the rest of my son's early childhood experience. Very happy Mama!

It is a second home for the children and has a very strong academic environment. The school is diverse, has an amazing sports camp, and fosters a love of learning. As a Ramalynn parent for 17 years, I couldn't be happier with the school. The sports program is co-ed with girls and boys competing together - very confidence-building. I would highly recommend the school to anyone considering a private school - you won't find anything better.

Ramalynn is a small school with a very large impact. Academics are impressive; sports are…read moreexcellent; and culture makes Ramalynn a school like none other. We, my partner and I, want our children to grow with knowledge, confidence, kindness and tolerance. The students of Ramalynn are disproportionately represented in top academic and athletic honors, but their ability to weather defeat and help each other through loss is truly remarkable. If we are daring to achieve in our lives, we will all fail and lose along the way. The students of Ramalynn are taught, practice and demonstrate resilience. We also want our children to have a global appreciation and tolerance. Lack of prejudice is learned at Ramalynn by knowledge of the world and an appreciation for culture. The academic viewpoint is not "other cultures and people," but just culture and people. Approaching humanities with this mindset allows greater tolerance and appreciation for each other. I do not expect our children to be college or professional athletes, but Ramalynn has nurtured many young athletes, who have gone on for remarkable athletic careers. Mr. Krishna's ability to connect, motivate and teach sports and how to be a team should be the focus of a master class for ALL coaches. Ms. Cassy incredibly recognizes and appreciates each child's (yes EACH) gifts while nurturing curiosity and development. In Ramalynn Montessori Academy tradition, the teachers are a curated team from preschool through 8th grade, effectively educating to surpass standardized testing expectations, inter-school competitions and real world challenges. The multitude of incredibly successful and creative students and parents of high integrity are not on the walls or website. Word of accolades achieved by former students and parents is quietly passed with genuine happiness for another's success. Ramalynn's value is not in being a scene to be seen or an association to "name drop." Ramalynn is invaluable as a school because it is designed to and succeeds in allowing every child to become the most they can be while having enough courage to support their classmates to succeed.
