Excellent school. Teachers are very caring. You feel the love when you walk in. They are flexible meeting each child's academic needs. Our kid was quite advanced, and he wasn't bored. More important at this age though is that he loved going to school each day. It was amazing how peaceful 50 kids under one roof could be, too!

My husband and I chose Villa Madonna Montessori for our little boy even before he was born! It's reputation is impeccable, and our son's preschool experience has been better than we ever hoped. The teachers are so loving and affectionate, yet maintain perfect order, discipline, and manners in the classroom. With Patti, Theresa, Gail, and Stacey's help, our son began reading at four years old and makes amazing progress every day. As importantly, he has learned to be a "solid citizen" towards his teachers, classmates, and family. The school and its setting on the hillside Villa Madonna campus are idyllic, and I feel such joy every morning when we arrive. Villa Madonna Montessori has made our son excited for school and eager to learn -- the greatest foundation we could imagine from his preschool and kindergarten education.

If you were to picture the perfect, storybook wonderland for your child to attend preschool and kindergarten, Villa Madonna Montessori is what it would look like. The place is like something out of a happy daydream. From the renovated farmhouse school building to the rolling fields and lakes full of geese, the campus is stunning and pictureque. The teachers are experienced, genuine, and kind, like the relatives you wish your children had. Each season and holiday is celebrated in perfectly quaint fashion, and there are additional offerings like Creative Dance and Spanish. The classroom has a pet rabbit and a fish. The snacks are healthy. Quite simply, this school checks all the boxes. My 5 yo son has come so far in his confidence, academics, and sense of responsibility, and he loves going to school everyday. What more could you ask?

Wonderful School! Teachers are dedicated , attentive and truly care about every child. My son leaps out of bed every morning excited to go to school.
Truly one of the best decisions my husband and I have made was to send our son to Villa Madonna Montessori.
