Parent Testimonials:

"As a former teacher, I knew that in choosing my children's school I was creating a foundation upon which all future learning would be built. I chose Woodland Montessori School. My children love this school, and I love seeing them thrive academically and socially. When I send my children to school each morning, I feel they are walking into the arms of a welcoming, enlightening community of teachers and students. Academics, creativity, multiculturalism, and social awareness combine to create a well-rounded, well-adjusted child. All children love to learn. Woodland Montessori accommodates them by opening the world like a big treasure box filled with wondrous knowledge and opportunities. Saving money for college is important, but if that foundation for learning hasn't been laid, the allure of high education may be lost" Devon Alwang with her two children (Elementary Parent)

"Choosing a school for our daughter 5 years ago was difficult and important. Once we visited Woodland Montessori the search was over. We were immediately impressed with the atmosphere of the classrooms and the student -teacher ratio.

Woodland Montessori fosters a deeper learning experience through strong academics, independent learning, respect for each other, socialization, safety, organization, and much more.

After three years at Woodland, our daughter has learned so much, and is a child we are proud of. She is gentle, respectful, kind to others, and has a love for learning.

With Maria Montessori's 100 years of worldwide education experience, and Woodlands dedicated staff we are happy with our choice of education for our daughter and look forward to many more years of academic excellence. "

Debbie D'Agostino (Primary Parent)
