My son just completed a preschool year at Hayfield and we've been so pleased with his progress at this school compared to his previous preschool. He is now actually interested in doing his "work" at school, and it's been a pleasure watching him discover new educational subjects that appeal to him (geography!). This is our first experience with Montessori, and we love it. His teacher has been amazing - truly, she is a steady, calm, patient presence in the classroom, always there for questions and guidance, and always offering something more challenging when she can see the time is right for a particular student. Another great thing about Montessori - students work at their own pace. The Hayfield campus is peaceful, green and safe. We have had ample demonstration that student and staff safety is a priority. After our experience at Hayfield with our oldest child, we will be very happy to send our youngest to Hayfield once she is old enough.
