The outdoor space is spacious, natural and inviting. I wish I were 4 and allowed to make friends there! The classrooms are carefully prepared, always orderly, inviting and child centered. There is true dedication by the director and senior staff that can be felt.As a long-term parent at this school, we have experienced all 3 classroom environments, over several years with multiple kids.The teachers love what they do, they are engaged with the Montessori philosophy, and truly know every students unique learning preferences. The children are always engaged and cared for with respect and love. We have experienced various types of care programs in the local area, all except for public elementary - and this school environment is the most at home for our family. The director and staff just love what they do, and are given the ability to use their various talents and academic specialties (especially in elementary) to instill their own passion for certain subjects with the children. The care ratios also can not be beat without hiring a private nanny.

Our elementary experience was positive, especially when there was a separate administrator for the elementary building. As our kids got older, we realized that the leadership of the school is lacking accountability to anyone. Over the 10 years that we were involved, the same problems came up repeatedly and although parents and the board tried to resolve them, it seemed like the power rested with only certain people. Our kids made some good friends, a lot of the teachers were great, but by the time we were finished with the school it was drastically different from when we began (less students, a lot less teachers, only 1 campus).
