Southwest Montessori Academy: what do users think?
Jennifer Rodriguez: The entire staff at Southwest Montessori Academy create a safe, educational environment for the children they teach. Before attending, my son cried at most morning drop offs. After the first week, he was excited to join his class and happy every time at pick up. The independence and academic knowledge he gained is priceless.
KATHRYN MYERS: Southwest Montessori Academy has been everything we ever could have hoped for in a school. Our daughter has grown academically, socially, and emotionally. Since being introduced to the Montessori philosophy in college I knew I wanted my future children to attend a Montessori school. SMA exceeded my expectations.When our daughter, in her first year at SMA (starting as a 3 year old) was able to identify continents, skip count, complete simple addition and subtraction in her head/on her fingers, understand place value and compare numbers, identify letters/sounds, read/write simple words, and was loving every minute of it we knew we had done the right thing to give her a strong academic foundation.Of equal, if not higher, value, she has grown emotionally and socially. Her confidence in interacting with peers is noticeably greater. She has strategies for calming herself, she shows empathy towards others.Our daughter is a sensitive, compassionate child and I am so thankful her learning environment mirrors that. Her teachers and all of the staff at SMA have made her feel welcomed and respected from the first time we toured the school. They have truly built a community that expands beyond the classroom.We are so thankful we discovered SMA and look forward to watching our daughter grow!
Lindsay Mack: This school is simply amazing. I did a lot of research before choosing SMA for my son and now I completely understand the other raving reviews I read. Their commitment to the students is incredible. My son's confidence, communication, and academic skills have really soared during his time there. This school has been an amazing fit for my son and our family - and I am so grateful we chose SMA.
Ayfer Yarcich: We were looking for alternative options to traditional daycare for both of our kids. What we found with Southwest Montessori was more than daycare. Both kids felt from the first moment “at home”. There was no more separation anxiety from our younger child, which made it easier for all family members. The professionalism, care, love, and knowledge of Southwest Montessori Academy staff is outstanding. In addition to teaching our kids, Southwest Montessori Academy also provides Positive Discipline classes to parents and workshops about Montessori learning methods, which easily can be implemented at home. We all benefited from the Montessori education. Now, both our kids successfully transitioned to public school. They have the tools for problem solving, the love for learning, good social skills, and know how to voice their opinions. Thank you Southwest Montessori Academy for all the tools you provided to make them excited learners.
Andrea Fernandez Gorton: We are so happy with the experience our child is getting from Southwest Montessori Academy! To see her excited about school again and hearing her tell us all the things she is learning everyday has brought so much joy back that was missing over the past few months! We really appreciate all of the extra effort the teachers and staff put in as well with the frequent parent zoom meetings! It has helped us so much to connect with other parents and find new ways to incorporate the Montessori philosophy into our home and everyday life!
Brad Stoffel: From the first time we walked in to the school we knew this place was something special. We highly reccomend you stop by for a tour if you have young children!
Sarah Randolph: SMA has been the most ideal environment! Our son is in his third year and daughter in her second year. We love the school so much that I am truly dreading when they will outgrow the school and have to go elsewhere! The teachers and staff are patient and kind. They encourage such an open atmosphere, teach excellent life skills on conflict resolution and leadership through example, and our kids are much more advanced academically than their friends at traditional schools. The communication with parents about child progress and events is outstanding. The classrooms are clean, organized, and foster an environment of concentration and learning.All Montessori schools are not the same. Let me tell you that THIS one is the real deal. I wouldn’t send my kids anywhere else!!
Diana Fahrer: My family couldn't be happier with this preschool. We currently have one child enrolled, and our second will begin in the new school year. Our son has absolutely blossomed academically, and he has gained so much independence. The multi-age classrooms have given him the opportunity to learn from older children as well as teach some of the younger ones. The teachers care so much about each student, and give such detailed updates about my son that I truly have no questions or concerns about what is happening while he is at school. Our son is so happy every day, he loves all of the different works, and loves that he can choose which work to use rather than be instructed to do something he is not interested in. Each work is a learning tool that offers multiple lessons, so often while he is learning about something like letters or math- he is also performing a task that is enhancing his fine motor skills. Communication between students and parents is exceptional, and I think this is an amazing preschool!
Jordan Huttenlocker: Southwest Montessori Academy has been a perfect fit for our family. Our son has really benefitted from the personalized education. He is only three, but has already begun to develop interpersonal skills, independence, and love for learning. I credit the staff at SMA for nurturing these attributes every day. Highly recommend this Montessori preschool
Wanda zee-cheng: Stellar education for my son. He came here after struggling in another program. This program excels because children learn on their own at their pace. They learn "why" things work and will better remember concepts than just "remembering things." They not only learn academics, but they also learn life skills from using glassware to washing dishes, folding clothes and dressing themselves as early as 3 years old and social skills, including conflict resolution.They learn so much. This is an amazing program with fantastic staff. I can't say enough good things about them!!
MsAst2: I am very pleased with the enthusiasm and expertise of the teachers. They try hard to make the atmosphere interesting, fun and safe for learning. My child learns a lot academically and socially. He really enjoys going to school.
