Describe the general climate of the grade level that you teach or your child attends:
The climate for each grade level that our children are in is remarkable. My kids are excited to go to school, excited to learn, and adore their teachers. The administration and teachers require discipline and respect (and effectively work with the children on the tools they need to fulfill this) but they have found a balance between those things being emphasized and the children being very nurtured in a fun and joyful environment. - Sep 2013
This is a traditional Montessori preschool. Many schools locally advertise that they are Montessori, but do not follow all the Montessori teachings & processes nor have the correct/appropriate Montessori supplies. There are approximately 45 students, ages 10 months to 7 years. There are 11 teachers. The director is a Costa Rican married to an American who has her degree from Harvard and has studied Montessori in Switzerland. You can choose a half-day or a full-day program. Additionally, this school operates year-round with just a few 1-2 week breaks per year. - Jun 2013
