Parents Testimonials

''Children's House has offered my child so much opportunity for growth, individually and communally. She has been able to grow up in an environment that nurtures her spirit, allows her to flourish at her own pace, and prepares her for the greater world around her.  I truly believe that Children's House has made my child a better participant of the world.  She loves learning, is respectful of other people and other spaces, and has been able to keep her independent light bright.  The best compliment I can give is seeing a group of CHM out in a playground or public space - each one of them is respectful, excited, and HAPPY. It's truly a wonderful place that allows children to flourish.''

"Since my children’s enrollment at CHM I have witnessed nothing but exceptional care, attention, and educational support for my little ones.
The classroom atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and nurturing. The team has displayed an incredible commitment to fostering a love for leaning. The interactive classroom set up at CHM invokes curiosity and encourages learning. This, coupled with the practical life lessons introduced at the school, has left my children eager to explore and learn more each day.
I am also grateful for the communication and parent involvement at CHM. The school organizes parent-teacher conferences, curriculum night and open houses that empower us as parents to play an active role in our children’s educational journey.
I enjoy seeing the priceless moments captured and shared with us, the beautiful crafts they brings home, and above all, the glimpse of the joyous experience my children have at CHM."

Having completed three years, including her kindergarten year, at CHM, I can confidently say that this school has been a nurturing and transformative environment for her. The teachers at CHM are truly exceptional, displaying a level of care and dedication that has deeply impressed me. Their passion for Montessori education shines through in every interaction, and they have fostered a warm and inclusive atmosphere where my daughter felt valued and encouraged to grow. 

CHM’s high-quality program at has had a profound impact on my daughter's development. From practical life skills to academics, she has gained independence, curiosity, and a love for learning. Watching her blossom throughout her time here has been immensely gratifying as a parent. Not only does she now possess a solid foundation for academic success, but she also possesses empathy, kindness, and a genuine eagerness to explore the world around her. Thanks to the exceptional education and care she received at Children's House Montessori, my daughter feels academically and emotionally prepared for her transition to first grade. I couldn't be more grateful to the school's staff and community, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking an exceptional education for their child.”
