My Own Montessori School

We’ve loved watching our toddler grow, develop social skills, independent living skills, and creative thinking at My Own Montessori. The teachers are caring and attentive to the individual needs of each child; simultaneously they encourage independence and autonomy across tasks. The M.O.M. program’s curriculum (and materials used) is meticulously chosen, and seamlessly executed. Twice yearly parents are allowed to come observe the classroom. During our visits, my husband and I felt inspired seeing so many students together in each room, calmly and curiously carrying out tasks of their own choosing. We would heartily recommend this school to anyone. For us, it’s been a thoughtful, welcoming, and warm environment in which to foster an early love of learning, self confidence, and connection to community.

Our kid goes here; he loves it, we parents love it. The curriculum is varied and in-depth. They learn a lot, and almost everything through play ("work", in Montessori lingo) with meticulously prepared projects/tasks that the teacher have clearly put a lot of thought, time, and effort into. The most impressive, though, is the vibe of the place. All the kids are engaged and happy (each parent gets to observe once a year, fly-on-the-wall mode), and the rooms are filled with a focused quiet hum. Kids put their projects away when done with them, and happily. As if by magic, there is no ruckus, no screaming disagreements. Of course all of this is (gently, almost serenely) orchestrated by the teachers. And they lead by example: They're patient, very warm, and absolutely in it with their full hearts. I'm genuinely moved watching them work with the kids. A+

When we were looking for a preschool for our daughter, we were hoping for a program that both supported her to have creative play, and also introduced her to foundational math and reading. My Own Montessori has a really good balance. It’s a true Montessori school, and from the first visit, it was clear to me how much the school and the teachers care. Everything is exceptionally well run and well designed. My daughter comes home telling me about the things they learned in the curriculum that week and what they’ll be doing next week. Also, the director Csilla has been remarkably responsive and supportive. My daughter has learned a lot and we have learned about child development too.

We absolutely love MOM! Our 3 yr old started school at MOM in 2023 and we feel so lucky to have found this wonderful community. The teaching staff is so caring, kind, thoughtful, and attentive to all the children. They have developed an excellent curriculum filled with creative works and activities for children at this early age to learn and grow. Our daughter is thriving in the Montessori method, building her confidence, independence, and all new skills which we have seen translate at home. The school space itself is well equipped, clean, and set up in a great way to give all the students flexibility throughout their day. Could not recommend MOM enough to families considering this preschool!

My Own Montessori has been an incredible experience for our family. Our son started attending M.O.M. in 2022, and from the very beginning, we felt embraced by a caring and nurturing community. The staff at M.O.M. are not just educators; they are compassionate, dedicated individuals who genuinely care about each child's development. They have created a warm, welcoming environment that fosters independence and curiosity. The school adheres faithfully to the Montessori method, and this approach has been transformative for our son. We've seen him develop a curiosity about the world, and he is always excited to share the new knowledge he’s gained. Each year has a theme that inevitably makes its way into our home life. During the geography year, our son insisted we print out flags from different countries and hang them around the house. During the botany year, he started to germinate seeds and care for the plants at home. Once, he took some butternut squash seeds from the kitchen and successfully grew an entire plant - to my surprise! The summer school theme was the human body, and he came home talking about how the kidneys work. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, offering a mix of structured activities and free play that keeps children engaged and eager to learn. The indoor-outdoor space at M.O.M. is beautifully maintained, providing an environment where children can explore and play freely. The school also offers organic and vegetarian snack options, which is a wonderful bonus for health-conscious families. Additionally, the community of parents is vibrant and supportive, with plenty of opportunities to connect through school events and volunteer activities. In summary, My Own Montessori is a gem of a preschool, where children are not only educated but also cherished and supported in their growth. We highly recommend M.O.M. to any family looking for a nurturing and enriching early education experience.
