  We are so lucky for our daughter’s wonderful journey at Discover Montessori! We are truly grateful for all the dedication and the hard work that the teachers do for the children ! The curriculum is so vast and rich in activities : art, science, reading, math, hands-on experiences, different languages, wellness and wellbeing activities! The environment is peaceful and neat and the school focuses on fostering connection, creativity, curiosity and critical thinking ! Our daughter has so many best friends from preschool. The food is organic, diverse, and has the absolute home made taste which brings so much joy to our daughter! We are so sad that our daughter is graduating soon. The preschool is a little piece of heaven.

  I cannot express how happy we are that we found Discover Montessori. The owner, Joana, is incredibly knowledgeable about the Montessori method and truly committed to implementing it in a meaningful way, which we absolutely love. My son Jake has attended Discover Montessori for over two years, and the growth we’ve seen in him during that time has been incredible. He has developed greater patience, a genuine curiosity about the world around him, and an ability to stay engaged and entertained through creative exploration. He loves building, tinkering, asking questions, and finding unique ways to play and learn. I truly believe this natural curiosity has been nurtured and encouraged through his experience at Discover. Another thing that stands out is the stability of the school. The teachers have been there for many years, which says so much about the environment Joana has created. Every teacher has a warm, nurturing presence, and it is obvious they genuinely care about each child who walks through their doors. As working parents, we also deeply appreciated that the school was always very reasonable when it came to illness policies. Unlike our experience at another daycare, we were very rarely called to pick Jake up unnecessarily. In over two years, I believe we were only contacted twice because he truly needed to see a doctor. Joana is a mother herself, and you can tell she understands the realities and challenges of being a working parent. Thank you, Ms. Joana and the entire Discover Montessori staff, for everything you have done for our family. We are forever grateful for you!

  I've been sending my kids to Discover Montessori for a little over two years and I cannot say enough good things about this school. Dedicated teachers, incredibly thoughtful classrooms, lovely events to engage parents in the school community. Both of my children have absolutely thrived here. As a former teacher, I can say this school is absolutely above and beyond. As I parent, I feel really, really good about where my kids are spending their day.

  We cannot say enough positive words about Discover. It is a place where everything is done with care and intention. The educators are incredible—they are loving, knowledgeable, and beautifully shepherd the Montessori way. You can feel their passion in every interaction. The facility is unbelievably clean and well-maintained, creating a calm, inviting space for the children to grow. We’ve also been so impressed by the fresh, in-house meals like stews and fruit. Most importantly, the results speak for themselves: our kids learned to read here and were so well-prepared that our son was ahead of the curve when he started kindergarten. Having sent two of our children here already, we feel so lucky that our third will get to experience this blessing of a school as well

  Discover Montessori is an exceptional school that truly nurtures a lifelong love of learning. After visiting several open houses while searching for the right fit for our son at age two, we immediately knew this was the place for him. The school thoughtfully fosters independence by encouraging self-care—like getting dressed and tidying up—as well as initiative in learning. Its well-rounded curriculum, including Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Culture, is designed to build concentration, coordination, and confidence. The classroom environment is calm, organized, and respectful, with beautiful, hands-on materials that are easily accessible to children. The sense of community here is remarkable. It’s hard to fully express how nurturing, patient, and knowledgeable the staff is when it comes to child development. Over the past two years, we’ve seen incredible growth in our son, and the impact on his development has been truly meaningful. We have complete peace of mind knowing he is cared for in such a supportive and respectful environment. He has also formed wonderful friendships along the way. We are deeply grateful to Discover Montessori for the care and dedication they put into their work.

  We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this Montessori school for our child. From the very beginning, the environment has reflected the true principles of the Montessori philosophy—respect, independence, and a genuine love for learning. The teachers are patient, attentive, and highly skilled in guiding children at their own pace. They create a calm and structured atmosphere where kids feel safe to explore, make choices, and build confidence in their abilities. It’s been amazing to see how much our child has grown—not just academically, but also in independence, responsibility, and social skills. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved. This is more than just a school—it’s a nurturing community that truly supports each child’s development. We highly recommend it to any family looking for an authentic and caring Montessori experience.
