Our son is in his third year at Our World Montessori and we could not be happier. This small pre-k and k school is a gem. All the staff is wonderful and fully dedicated to the well-being and development of the whole child. The Montessori method is truly special as it fosters not only academic skills but also social, life and soft skills (the curriculum includes practical life skills and grace and courtesies). Children develop self-confidence, are able to explore the classroom and its material at their own pace. We love that the material is hands on. I wish I had been able to learn math that way (practical and fun). Our son has been thriving. He is curious and his teachers have been providing him with lots of opportunities to explore his interests such as the solar system and constellations. The third year is such an amazing year as he is now taking on the role of leader in the classroom. He loves to guide younger children in completing activities as well as taking on more challenging tasks on his own. He has made strides in math and reading skills but most importantly, he is full of joy, loves to go to school and has developed a true love of learning.
Normally parents are fully involved with many parents information nights, family dinners at school and other events. OWM is a fantastic community. Finally, the Director is highly responsive and fully involved in the day to day operations of the school. We highly recommend Our World Montessori to anyone looking for excellence and nurturing in a preschool and kindergarten program.

This school was a blessing for our daughter. We were so committed to enrolling her in the Our World Montessori program that we put her on the waiting list 2 years before she began! The school follows ALL of the Montessori guidelines and cultivates a mutual respect between teachers, students AND parents. Having everyone on the same page regarding our child’s education was so helpful as we navigated our daughter’s strengths and challenges. Thankfully the teachers were able to identify her needs and she was able to thrive in the montessori environment. We are thrilled that she had such caring and attentive teachers. Making lifelong friends was an added bonus. We are grateful for the school and the care that they gave to our daughter and us!

My children have attended Our World since they have been 18 months old. I interviewed many preschools and day care facilities before finding Our World. I was blown away by the staff, the classroom and attention to detail the staff gave to all the children. Their classrooms run like clockwork and there is always order. The staff is always respectful, not only parents, but to the children as well. They teach what schools today lack in everyday life. Not only do my children get a great jump start to their education but they are taught how to be a well rounded kind person, and isn’t that one of the greatest lessons we can give our kids. I highly recommend you give it a try!
