Simmons El School

As a parent of two children at The Montessori School - one in the toddler program and one in elementary - we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Our toddler is thriving in a nurturing environment that encourages his independence and gives him so many amazing activities that are building his confidence and abilities... he now calls everything he does "my work". Our elementary child is engaged in all aspects of learning, blending academics with outdoor and sports activities and creativity and collaboration. The guides truly know each child and support their growth in a way that is personal and intentional. We love seeing both of our children develop a love of learning and a sense of responsibility that will serve them for life.

My daughter has attended TSF for about a year and I haven't experienced any of the issues other people (mostly from 2012-2015) have posted. I'm really happy with the teachers and staff. Nearly all the teachers know my daughter's name (even teachers who don't teach her) and are very compassionate. They have great "specials" that include spanish and technology, in additional to the usuals like gym and music. You can also sign up your child for private music lessons and dance lessons. The kids really get a lot out of the school. I agree that there are a lot of "fees" but it's really just part of the tuition billed separately. If the school put the fees in the tuition it would resolve that issue. We like the school and plan to stay a while!
