Name: Angela B.
Our oldest daughter has attended Little Acorn Montessori Academy for over three years. She started in the toddler room and is now in the pre-k/kindergarten room with Ms. Edina. She has blossomed so much since beginning at Little Acorn. She is independent, confident, social, academically strong and cares for herself and others.
Our younger daughter has attended the school for over a year now. She started in the infant room, moved to the walker side of the room when she turned one. She is currently transitioning to the pre-primary room. The transition has gone smoothly, the teachers showing care and reporting to us daily how the day went.
Teachers: All the teachers, assistants, and staff love and care for the students. I am amazed with the new and exciting things my daughter has learned. Infant and Walker teachers have such patience with the babies. Both daughters learned how to feed themselves, began using words, and how to share. Not to mention the most adorable art projects ever! It is amazing what can be made with an infant’s hands and feet! My oldest daughter continued learning her ABC’s, numbers, shapes, and continents with Ms. Syeda. She was coming home singing songs about the seven continents. Ms. Syeda also encouraged potty training, which was a huge help. Ms. Tiara, her primary teacher, (sadly she isn’t there anymore) taught her how to read! Ms. Edina is continuing to teach her comprehension and expanding my daughter’s growth. Teachers give students jobs based on individuality. There are weekly extracurricular programs including Spanish, cooking, computers, art and music. There are also outside programs brought into the school for an extra fee. My daughter is participating in a dance class and loves it! Ms. Susie and Ms. Wendy, administrators, listen to parent needs. They call when you have a sick child. There is a monthly curriculum posted in the classrooms and posted online.
The school: The school is divided into sections based on the student age. All classes are clean, just right size furniture, labeled areas and organized with hands-on manipulatives. The infant/walkers have their own classroom and playground. All other students play outside on a big playground. There are tricycles with a bike path, jungle gym, wall climbing structure, balance beams, artificial turf area, garden, small sand area, chalkboard and picnic tables that are shaded. A generous and healthy lunch menu is offered at an additional price.
We are so proud of the little humans we are raising and feel fortunate they are both receiving a terrific education in a safe and loving environment! Little Acorn Montessori has been a wonderful beginning as our daughters discover a love of learning!
