What our parents are saying.

"As first-time parents, we were nervous about finding the right environment for our little one, but Bridges Montessori quickly put our minds at ease. The caregivers are very warm, patient, and attentive, and it's clear they genuinely love what they do. We've seen our child grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence---even at this young age! The peaceful, nurturing atmosphere and focus on sensory exploration have been such a beautiful fit for our family. We are grateful to have found this supportive community and look forward to our little one's journey continuing to flourish."

"After a decade working inside the public school system & with my own children's educational path emerging, I realized our family needed a different choice in model and method. I was intrigued by Maria Montessori's approach to childhood learning while in graduate school and vowed that if there was an opportunity close by, my children would attend at least through the lower elementary grades. I encourage each parent to take a look at her educational legacy for themselves and consider the research on outcomes for children with a basis in this learning style. Your jaw will drop and you will be amazed.The children learn it all and in context of their development. They move, they get sunshine, they plant plants, play with chickens, cook recipes, create projects & clubs of interest, observe social graces, learn number sense & letter sounds, and so much more. They come home smiling and free; they advocate for their needs. The staff cares and is careful in their approach; still direct but with reverence to beauty of childhood. The other families who attend become fast friends. I know we are setting the children up for success. And for the first time the other night, my K and 1st grader read me the bedtime chapters of our challenge book with ease. It was a proud and poignant moment- and I am so thankful for the gem of a school just down the street for these little bodies with brilliant minds!"

"We feel incredibly lucky to have found Bridges Montessori for our daughter. As parents, there’s always that underlying worry about whether our kids are getting the right educational experience—but at Bridges, our daughter is not just learning, she’s thriving. Academically, emotionally, and socially, she’s grown so much in the nurturing, gentle environment that the amazing teachers and staff have created. We absolutely adore her teacher. She’s a true gem—someone I trust completely. She calms my “mommy brain” and gives me total peace of mind during the school day. I know she treats the kids like they’re her own, and that kind of care is such a rare and beautiful gift in an educator. We really value how Bridges encourages independence, hands-on learning, and freedom to explore. We love that the kids spend time outdoors and learn to care for the world around them. And those daily updates and photos? They never fail to make me smile. There’s honestly no place we’d rather have our daughter than Bridges. You all deserve the highest praise!"
