Deerfield

Both of my children participated in the Primary program with Miss Jennifer, and we could not have been happier with our experience. Miss Jennifer has a unique ability to tailor her approach to each child in order to guide all of her students in the process of learning. Our oldest started as a third-year student (two years later than most of his peers), and Miss Jennifer made sure he received the instruction he needed to catch up to the other students his age, which he did quickly. Our youngest has been there since she was three, and it has been extremely rewarding to watch her grow more compassionate and self-aware while fostering her (sometimes overwhelming) creativity and independence. Beyond teaching life skills and academics, Miss Jennifer introduces her students to caring for themselves, others, and the environment through programs like yoga and service projects. And in addition to hosting multiple parent meetings throughout the year (both as groups and individually), Miss Jennifer is always available and happy to discuss our children's progress or any questions we might have. If you want to build a strong foundation for your child's education, in my opinion and experience, you can't go wrong with Ardor Montessori!
