Fiore Montessori School, Vienna | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We are currently at Fiore Montessori School and have been in both the toddler classroom and a primary classroom for a combined four years. This has been a fantastic experience. (Fiore also has an elementary classroom, and this program is so inviting that it makes me as an adult want to join in on an outdoor and fun educational experience.)

Fiore is a school with great leadership and talented and caring guides and staff. The Montessori approach is carried through every space and element during the child’s day. My children have been empowered to become independent, creative, well-rounded and enthusiastic about learning. I see tremendous strides in practical life areas, sensorial, language, self-expression, cultural and math. I hear excitement about what lessons were received and the work my children participate in each day at school. Everything is tailored to the individual child so that the interest level, pace and amount of challenge is considered, while each day the children can decide on what he or she wants to do in the classroom.

We also appreciate the bilingual nature of the school, with Spanish-speaking assistant guides in each classroom.

The school has a lovely garden for the children to experience during time outdoors. I always hear stories of discovery, social interactions with peers and inspection of nature taking place here.

There is order, organization and solid communication from staff. I appreciate the e-newsletters, parent-teacher conferences and school-wide events. Everyone is pleasant and responsive with timely follow-through. The parent handbook is comprehensive, well thought-out and a valuable resource.

Throughout the year, Fiore offers presentations and discussions to parents on an array of continuing education topics, like how to continue Montessori methods at home and also demonstrate to parents how materials are used in the classroom. They welcome your questions and value your input as a parent.

The school is clean with high quality Montessori materials that are so inviting of curiosity, focused work and eventual mastery.

There is a very nice community of families that send their children to Fiore. We were happy to find Fiore after much research of local schools. I highly recommend this school and believe that they whole-heartedly embrace the Montessori philosophy and truly dedicate the time and effort to ensuring each child works toward his or her potential.

We enrolled our daughter at Fiore when she was 16 months old. We couldn’t be happier with the school, the teachers and the Montesorri classroom. She is happy to go to school every day and my husband and I are thrilled with how well she is doing. We toured 7 or 8 preschools before deciding to take her to Fiore. I didn’t know anything about Montessori before starting our school search, but after learning more and observing the children in the classroom, this was absolutely the right choice for us. I am still amazed at the natural way the children learn and the independence, respect and self-confidence that is created and nurtured in the classroom. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their child…… Update! November 2016…. Both of our daughters have been attending Fiore since they were each 16 months old. Our oldest is now five and our youngest just turned three. We have been incredibly happy with the school for many reasons. However recently something happened that blew me away… Three weeks ago our girls woke up early. My husband and I were still sleeping when we heard the girls in the kitchen. I walked downstairs to find our oldest stirring pancake batter at the kitchen counter. My little one was throwing the eggshells away in the garbage. This was one of the proudest mom-moments for me. The were working cooperatively and both so independent with their individual tasks. The fact that she knew exactly what to put in the batter, plus some applesauce, which actually made the pancakes fluffier when I cooked them! They pushed the “Tower of Learning” around the kitchen to get the eggs out of the fridge and the chocolate chips from the cupboard (who doesn’t want chocolate chip pancakes?) There are many positive things about our girls that I can attribute to what they are doing at Fiore, but this was one of the biggest and most exciting examples/steps in their development. I love Montessori education and I feel Fiore is one of the best Montessori schools in the area.
