A great place for children

by Amanda Rice

I have two children who attend Adventure Montessori and my children love the school. They have learned so much and the teachers are loving and kind. My children are learning to read at such a young age and enjoy going to school everyday. The staff is trained in Love and Logic principles. I appreciate Adventure Montessori giving my children a safe place to attend.

• Pros: A real love for children
• Cons: None

Beautiful, peaceful and organized

by Pisgah

Our daughter has been in a Primary classroom for one year. We love Adventure and are very happy with the Montessori methods and philosophy. She comes home talking about "grace" and "continents." The other day, she was singing a song about her "cranium" and "vertebrae." She is three years old.

I could go on and on: we have conversations after school about "deciduous leaf stage" and the names of places such as "Down Under" for Australia. Our home is full of books and art, but Adventure puts it all together in a way that makes me feel blessed that she is a student there.

Another thing we love about Adventure is the welcoming staff. When my daughter arrives, she is greeted warmly, often with hugs. This means the world to me, as she can be shy. Within seconds, our child is off and engaging with her friends. I always leave with a happy feeling she is in the best hands.

One note: One reviewer said the toddler room was uneven. I have heard that, but recently, it was reorganized with new staff. A mother told me at Parents Night in Sept. 09 that the new toddler room was wonderful.

• Pros: True Montessori experience; loving staff
• Cons: No consistent communication from office; no email newsletter
