"I chose Maple Park Montessori through a recommendation from a life long friend. I didn't know anything about Montessori philosophy but knew when I walked into the school that this was where my kids would go." [click here to view full comment]

"We chose Maple Park Montessori because after we looked at several pre-schools, we just couldn't imagine our son anywhere else. We loved that when we walked in, it was calm, yet children were busy with activities. Another thing that caught our attention was how they would really seem to be concentrating and would stay with a project until they were done. The more we looked into it, we saw that the children were truly having fun accomplishing such big-people tasks and loved being there." [click here to view full comment]

"I think my daughter's first day of (full-day) kindergarten at Maple Park sums it up -- after being at school from 9 until 3, she came home and played school for three more hours! She is happy and comfortable there (which to me says great things about the staff). She is learning and enjoying it (which to me says great things about Montessori)."

Patricia Tasios
"We chose Maple Park Montessori because we felt that it was the only preschool we visited that would make school a consistent and enjoyable routine for our daughter. We were also impressed by her first reaction to the classroom environment and her comfort level with Ruthe. It made it much easier to let her go on the first day of school knowing that she would be happy to be there."

Karen Zoia
"What sets Maple Park apart from other schools is definitely the staff. It truly feels more like a family than a school. Kids are treated with all the love and care you want for your young child, but their growing sense of autonomy and independence is fostered and encouraged." [click here to view full comment]

"Our son left Maple Park Montessori after three years with a genuine love of learning. He was more than ready for 1st grade, both academically and socially. When he entered 1st grade he already had great reading, writing, and math skills. Even more important, he knew how to make good decisions in the classroom and on the playground. He was also very comfortable working with others or alone." [click here to view full comment]
