We have had a great experience at the Eagan Montessori Academy – South. We first visited EMAS when we were still fairly early in the process of adopting our son. We had heard that many daycares had long waitlists and that we might have a hard time finding care given our uncertain timeline. Fortunately for us, we met Ms. Ruchika. She was incredibly kind about our circumstance and personally made sure that we had a spot when our son was born.

After our son started attending EMAS, we continued to get great treatment from EMAS leadership and teachers. Ms. Ruchika always checks in on our son, checks in with us regularly, and has been highly responsive anytime we had a concern. The teachers are also genuinely wonderful people who treat the kids like their own family. Ms. Swathi, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Sophia, and Ms. Melissa were especially kind to us as we got adjusted to the day-to-day routine of daycare. We love that our son is happy to see his teachers when he gets to school every day.

Our son has learned so much from the EMAS Montessori approach, where kids are encouraged to explore and be as independent as possible (always with appropriate supervision). He is ahead of milestones in many areas thanks in no small part to his great teachers. We also appreciate that the teachers do such a good job at creating the kind of structure that kids need to thrive. Especially in the 3-to 5 year old classrooms, it is amazing to see so many little kids so calm and organized and engaged.

As a diverse family, we also value that EMAS is welcoming to kids and families from all backgrounds. We researched/visited many other daycares in the area and this was clearly the best choice for our family.

We adore Eagan Montessori South! The teachers all show such genuine love and compassion for our daughter and to us parents! My daughter still goes back and gives hugs to her teacher from 2 classrooms ago. We have attended a couple centers in the past and there is no comparison in regards to the care and standards they have here. There has been very little turn over in staff, which really speaks volumes to the leadership and value that is put towards each teacher. Not only do they show high levels of love and care for the children, they provide solid curriculum and my daughter has learned so much by being here. She will be very well prepared to enter kindergarten in the fall. I couldn’t speak more highly of EMS. I think I will be more sad to leave here in the fall than my daughter, that’s how much I enjoy all the staff. They really make you feel apart of a family. I highly recommend EMS!!

My son has been with Eagan Montessori Academy South since he was 5 months (he is 4 now) and we have LOVED our experience. I was very particular about finding a Montessori that I was comfortable with and trusted to leave my baby at and EMAS checked off everything I was looking for. It is a wonderful and nurturing environment for kids to learn and play.

We love the teachers, environment, open and timely communication and the structure at EMAS and the administration has been open and wonderful to work with. I have always told my family and friends that everything my son learns is from his montessori and he amazes me everyday with what he learns in class! The teachers at EMAS have loved and cared for my son since he was a baby and have played such a huge role in the wonderful little human he is today.
