First Lutheran

I have had the greatest experience at Hickory Tree School. Both my boys attended the school starting in pre-k and my oldest finished as a 5th grader (my youngest will finish 5th grade this year). The teachers are wonderful and get to know the students and the family. They teach good manners and social skills and their educational program had my oldest son ahead of everyone (especially math) when he entered 6th grade. I am so grateful to the school and the staff. Your child will be in good hands at this school.

We’ve attended Children’s Place since my oldest was 3 years old. I chose this school for the intimate environment it offers, specialized learning, staff and student body diversity, the classic Montessori curriculum, and the fair cost (especially compared to other Montessori private schools). Both of my children have absolutely thrived in this environment. I am continually impressed as my kids show incredible confidence, self-leadership, problem-solving skills, and collaborative skills, all of which were strongly nurtured throughout their years there. We will continue onward to the Elementary program, and we are looking for a safe, child-led educational experience that focuses on the whole child and relationship-based learning. The teachers stay with the children for a prolonged period of time, enabling a deeper learning experience that is based on trust and truly knowing the whole child. Cannot recommend this school enough. I’ve referred several families, all of whom are happy with and impressed by their program.
