Peaceful Valley Montessori Academy of Golden Valley

We love, love, love the teachers – whatever you need to do to retain them (Especially Ms. Melissa, Ms. Valerie, Ms. Tess, Ms. Casey and Mr. Myles) should be seriously considered! While we saw lots of turnover in the Infant and Toddler classrooms (in part due to Covid and change in ownership), the consistency of (AMAZING) Children's House staff was one of the MOST important factors in staying at Peaceful Valley through kindergarten. One of our daughters had the same four teachers for 3+ years and it was such a blessing to establish trust and promote learning in this consistent environment. Additionally, early on there was lots of change at the director level at the school, which made it difficult to trust the overarching management and believe there was a clear vision. However, since Ms. Megan and Ms. Emily have taken on this role they have done an amazing job in restoring that and I would also encourage you to do whatever is required to maintain that leadership as well!

From the start I was impressed with the teachers you have here. My children have learned so much, not just academically, but in their confidence and sense of responsibility. There is a clear sense of community and care for the children, where I never have to doubt whether they’re okay away from home. I would recommend this place an hundred times over.

We are so grateful for our time at PVMA. Our daughter absolutely loved it and learned so much thanks to the kind, thoughtful, and loving teachers. They made her feel safe, happy, and excited to go each day. We always felt supported and knew she was in wonderful hands. We’ll miss everyone there so much and can’t recommend PVMA enough.

Amazing staff! Our daughter started at Peaceful Valley when she was 7 weeks old. Staff have taken such wonderful care of her and send us updates throughout the day!

The sense of community, independence and leadership that our eldest has developed at PVMA is among one of the most impactful benefits.The guides pay careful attention to each child’s needs and development. They create and customize activities and academic work to keep the children motivated, engaged and constantly learning. Both or our boys love school and thrive on the empathy, compassion, and relationships at PVMA.
