Della Casa Montessori

We have had such an incredible experience with Della Casa Montessori School. From the moment we walked in, it felt like a place where children are truly seen, respected, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. The teachers are patient, intentional, and genuinely invested in each child’s development—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. You can feel the difference in how they communicate with the kids—it’s calm, respectful, and empowering. Our child has become more confident, independent, and curious since starting here, and that alone speaks volumes. The environment is beautiful, thoughtfully prepared, and aligned with Montessori principles in a way that feels authentic—not forced. We are so grateful to have found this school. It’s not just childcare—it’s a foundation.

Having toured and seen this Montessori school in action—plus hearing from others—I’m genuinely impressed. The environment is so calm and engaging, with kids actively learning and exploring on their own. I also know the teachers here are dedicated and really care about the kids’ growth. I can honestly say this place sets a high bar for early education.

I came to the school to enroll my 2 toddlers (3 and 5yrs old). I had major safety concerns. My wife has now reached out with the school district to verify its licensing status. Major red flags were: •Trip hazards all over the "classroom." •An old style crank pencil sharpener about a foot off of the ground so that the small children could "learn to use it." •In the handbook provided to us, it states they spend the majority of the school day outside in all weather including snow, unless it's less than 20°F or more than 95°F. •Also no water bottles allowed, and only one snack is offered (described as 3 strawberries and a string cheese.) •Multiple Policies are a direct violation of Colorado State Law. When asked about staff qualifications, the owner became extremely rude for the remainder of the visit. She continuously made underhanded comments implying that my wife and I just weren't smart enough to understand the learning process that is the "Montessori Way." I don't understand how someone who is so impatient with parents, could possibly manage a classroom of 17 students ages 2 to 6 years old. (They claim to take children all the way up to 6 years of age.) I definitely recommend against enrolling any children to this "preschool"

We absolutely loved our experience at Della Casa Montessori Preschool. It was my boys’ very first school, and it gave them such an incredible foundation — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. Sarah is truly amazing at what she does. She creates such a nurturing, thoughtful environment where children feel safe, capable, and excited to learn. The independence and foundational skills my boys developed there set them up beautifully for the next stages of school. We remember our time here so fondly and are so grateful for those early years. I can’t recommend it enough!

I couldn’t have asked for a more ideal setting for my daughters’ first years at school. Literally every detail had been meticulously thought out and executed: the classroom setting, the gentle structure of time and space, and the welcoming teachers, all exceeded expectations day after day. If I had 10 more children, I would enroll each and every one with Sarah and her staff for preschool. Exceptional in every way! I am forever grateful for such a beautiful experience during a very challenging time.
