5 /5 Nelvi Garcia: I’ve waited four years to write this review—intentionally—because I wanted to give a truly honest and thoughtful reflection on our experience. Please bear with the length, as this is a very personal journey.
Our family’s relationship with Montessori House of Children began four years ago when I enrolled my two children in the summer camp to see how they would adjust. They loved it. From there, our journey unfolded: my oldest started in the Elementary program, my second child joined the Early Childhood (3–5 years) class, and the following year, my youngest entered the Toddler program (18 months–3 years). Weve now experienced every program the school offers, and I’ve had the opportunity to interact with nearly every staff member—teachers, assistants, administrators, and leadership.
It took a few months for my children to adjust to the new environment and Montessori approach, which is perfectly normal. But with the support and patience of some of the most dedicated and nurturing teachers I’ve ever met, it soon became a smooth, joyful routine.
What makes Montessori House of Children truly special is that it goes beyond academics. The school focuses on nurturing independence, kindness, confidence, and a sense of community in every child. My kids feel safe, supported, and truly happy here—and as a parent, that’s all I could ask for.
The relationships I’ve built over the years—with teachers, staff, fellow parents, and the administration—have been incredibly rewarding. I’m endlessly grateful for the team’s commitment to both academic and emotional development. Every teacher has played a meaningful role, from Ms. Maria and her team in the Toddler program, to Ms. Lakshmi in Early Childhood, and the wonderful Elementary teachers: Ms. Yadira, Ms. Alexandra, Ms. Erica, Ms. Via, Ms. Elisa, Ms. Ebtisam, the Spanish teacher, and everyone in the front office. You have all made such a difference in our lives.
We recently faced the possibility of moving to another city due to work—and the thought of leaving this school was truly heartbreaking. Fortunately, we get to stay, and we’re thrilled to be returning this fall to continue being part of this incredible community.
Thank you, Montessori House of Children, for everything you’ve done for our family. We can’t wait for what’s ahead.
