He is also a masterful teacher who is…read moregifted in his ability to approach his students at their skill level and guide them towards where they individually want to go with making art. Jason did not intrude or insist on using his own artist way, but offered me his experience and knowledge to assist me in my ongoing ways of making art. His studio space and his generosity with art materials to use, along with the modern facilities in the building The Art Studio is within on Hanover street allows me to focus on learning and doing more making art.

I came across an ad at the library for summer sewing camp for kids, but I really wanted to re-learn…read more(last time I used a sewing machine was 16 years ago) using my semi-newish sewing machine. She was very willing to teach me the basics using my machine, and she charged at a very reasonable class rate. She provided patterns and fabric. I finished making an snazzy apron yesterday!!! I love how it turned out! I feel very comfortable with using my machine and venturing out with other material types and stitches. Lately, I have been spending time after work into the late hours just to practice with some simple projects. It's addictive to make and create! I highly recommend her if you are looking to learn how to sew with the basics. She can provide a sewing machine or you can bring your own; it's your preference. She has 3 sewing machines available to learn on. She's very patient and friendly and has great ideas! If interested in learning basic sewing, shoot her an email: dlacai06@yahoo.com to see what she has for availability, etc. It's "Sew" Fun! :P

After a bad experience at another Montessori school in the Hollis area that failed to recognize our…read moredaughter's potential or provide the foundational skills she needed, we are so grateful to have found Country Village Montessori. The teachers at Country Village immediately recognized our daughter's potential, helped her catch up academically, and rebuilt the confidence that had been damaged at her previous school. We were thrilled to discover that art and creativity are a part of the inspiring schoolwork at Country Village Montessori so our daughter could come home every day proud of something that she created! Every child deserves a teacher who truly sees and believes in them. Claire and her team have made an incredible difference in our daughter's life, and we couldn't recommend Country Village Montessori more highly.

My 20 month old daughter, who only attends 3 days a week, loves it so much that if we take her when we are only dropping off her brother, she gets very upset that she isn't staying too. The school provides a safe, caring environment. The teaching is not high-pressure at all. My son comes home excited to show me what he's learned and wanting to practice his writing! He loves to learn and that's the best thing they could teach him!

I was petrified to send her to another school after the stuff we dealt with at our previous facility. Our daughter was placed in the transition room with Miss Brittany and Miss Alannah. I've never met kinder, more honest and genuine people than those two women. My daughter adores them. She recently moved on to a preschool class room and still stops by her old classroom to look for them. She's absolutely loving her new classroom too. She tells us about the songs and crafts she does every night during dinner. Our 6 month old started in the infant 1 room about a month and a half ago and she genuinely gets so excited when she sees her teachers at the door every morning. It's incredible piece of mind for a mom who is afraid to leave her kids. I don't know what we'd do without them all.

First off want to say that there are some great people working for this company. I send my kids to…read moreall of their programs (after school, summer and other camps). However, I've noticed a decline lately in the quality of care my kids are getting. I'm not sure why this is the case, but both my wife and I have noticed this. Part of it is, as the kids get older, the personnel they hire for the job to take care of kids that age seems to change. Additionally, I've found them to be quite rigid in policy and have some pretty antiquated bookkeeping/processing. For instance, for every different program you enter (which could be up to 4 or 5 a year) you have to fill out the same paperwork, the same payment options, and then pay a $55 administration fee each time per child. It's a little ridiculous. They have all of this on file already, and doing this for 2 kids, it's a bit much (usually about 8-10 pages of forms which don't change).

It has been an outstanding experience from day one for not only our son but also for us as parents!…read moreThe facility is not just clean and organized but also thoughtfully designed to create a safe and stimulating environment for the kids. A special shoutout to Becky, the Executive Director, whose passion for early childhood education is palpable. Her leadership sets the tone for a positive atmosphere that truly stands out. Communication with the team has been excellent and we just love Ms. Desiree! The educational programs are engaging and tailored to each child's needs, promoting a love for learning. We highly recommend KinderCare at Riv to parents seeking quality childcare for their little ones.
