The Montessori Schools

We have our three boys at MSND and have for four years ages 5 and twins 2.5 yrs. We are so happy with the school! The teachers our boys have had are excellent. The curriculum is excellent and our boys thrive with the Montessori philosophy. Ms. Deepa, the Primary teacher, is simply amazing with her patience, and rapport, and organization. She can get our olderest to do all sorts of school work which we cannot at home. He is learning addition and subtraction of double digit numbers as well has how to read. We looked at Primrose which has a newer building, but found it to be loud and not as individualized. Every teacher and staff member knows our entire family and they are SO accommodating! It is a great program and a great price! I would be happy to be a referral. Just ask the school for Tiffany. Check out the student teacher ratio...half other private schools! Our twins when they were under two were in a class with only two other children! I had to type this so quickly!

My two children have been at TMS - Star Creek for the last three years. It is an absolutely fantastic school. The teachers, director and front office staff are very, kind, loving and know my children so well.  They expect a lot from the children, but the teachers and staff work so hard to help each child reach their potential. My kids love going to school and I am absolutely amazed at all they have learned. My two year old knows all her colors, shapes and most numbers. My four year old is in the early stages of reading.  There are dedicated music, art and science teachers and the kids also have computer class almost daily. While there has been some turnover with some of the afternoon assistants (which I think is normal for any childcare facility), my two children have consistently had the same main teachers throughout the school year since they started. Their teachers have been top notch and I am enormously grateful. There is a very heavy emphasis on education and kindergarten readiness, so if you are looking for a more mother's day out kind of program, this might not be the best place for you. The belief in the children and their abilities is super high -- there is no hand holding for the kids or the parents.  The school puts the focus on helping the kids become self sufficient and suceeding on their own. I highly recommend Star Creek. You will not be disappointed.

This review is for the P4 primary class at the Montessori School at StarCreek and the classroom's outstanding teachers, Ms. Semina and Ms. Katrina. 
During the parent/teacher conference held this week, my husband and I received direct, detailed information about our son's work, his progress, and what they expect from him over the next semester.  We left with a clear picture of what is happening in the classroom- which is that really great teaching is taking place there.  These two women work very well together, they respect their students and they are very kind and caring. 
As parents, we appreciated having both teachers in the conference, and input from both, without any hint of who was the "lead" teacher- they both lead and the children really benefit. 
We have been to several conferences as our son has had a Montessori education since 20 months and is now 41/2 years old- this was a truly informative meeting.
Thanks to Ms. Katrina and Ms. Semina for their work and dedication!
