Casa Ninos School of Montessori - East Campus

Our son has attended for over four years. We are very happy with the expertise of the teachers and the overall environment. Children are taught to respect each other and animals. They are taught responsibility, essential life skills and empathy along with academi skills. We receive very detailed reports during parent/teacher conferences and are made aware of any concerns. I feel as if communication is good and transparent, the Academics are age appropriate and students are given lots of coaching in basic life skills like eating, hygiene and cleaning up after themselves. We are very happy here.

Our son has attended Casa for the past four years and we have been extremely satisfied with our experience. Mrs. Zarling utilizes a flexible, sensible, and proactive approach to teaching, and she implements developmentally appropriate, individualized strategies to assist our son in learning and progressing behaviorally and socially. As parents we have felt involved in every step of his learning, and we have been able to foster a good amount of trust in the school, staff, and his educational trajectory. Overall our son has excelled academically. Terri approaches challenges with respect, attention, focus, and, more importantly, a sense of humor. Casa staff promote a sense of community and caring, and we have had no problems with bullying, aggression, or other issues. They have been very patient with any "quirks" or challenges our son has had, and as a result of good teamwork between staff and our family, our son has been able to grow past these challenges. Given time, patience, trust in the process and staff, and parent involvement, any child can reap the benefits of the Casa program.

Both my kids have attended the Broadway location, since they were 2. Academically, both my son and daughter are doing very well, more advanced than the level they should be at by age (if I compare them with the information I find online of what a child should be doing by age). I love that they do not have formal testing/grades, as it helps the kids learn to love learning, and not have the grading pressure over their shoulders when they are not mature enough. The teachers know by name all the kids, and there is a family like environment at school. I have loved this school since I started taking my kids there.

As a teacher, I feel I have found a group of individuals that care for the well being and education of our youth as much as I do, here at Casa Ninos. As one of the greener member of the staff, I have learned so much from my coworkers and can say proudly that the ENTIRE staff is here for the children and their families. I am honored to dedicate my education and career to the ways of Maria Montessori, where the child is RESPECTED, INDEPENDENT, and aloud to FLOURISH. I believe in this school so much, that I even referred family members and friends with children with disabilities to enroll. To parents with children they believe are not being challenged, I recommend you enroll. We include gross-motor, math, science, reading, writing, language, culture, geography, Spanish, sensorial, practical life, grace and courtesy and so much more, all starting at the age of six weeks!!!!! Not only do we offer your child accelerated education mentally, psychologically, and physically; we also have a very safe and quiet location with 24 hour security cameras and even bullet proof windows.

Our staff and administration work very hard together to give the families that enroll the best overall experience while attending Casa Ninos. It is with great pride that we finish the accreditation process through the National Accreditation for Early Care and Education Programs, with the validation visit last week. It's exciting to be a pioneer in the early childhood profession by building a bridge between the specialty setting of Montessori and early childhood learning. Through NAC's two-year process we have been able to take 'best practices' and put them in place for 'the Future of Your Child's Education." We have authentic muti-aged classes from infants through lower elementary. All lead teachers specialize in their particular age group. We are a school setting NOT a daycare. All children advance at their own pace as we create individualized lessons plans for all students. Montessori hand made manipulative materials are used in all classrooms.
