5 /5 Mary Turner: I cannot recommend Myrtle Farm Montessori in Concord enough! The school’s exceptional Montessori curriculum, nurturing teachers, and welcoming environment surpassed our expectations from the beginning. The Montessori approach was truly a perfect fit for our family, and I loved that they tailor lessons to meet each child at their own level, which made a world of difference in our daughter’s progress.
For example, as a 3 year old, our daughter was still developing her letter and number writing skills when she started, but she had advanced math abilities. The teachers were incredible in recognizing her skills and allowing her to participate in more advanced math lessons while modifying them to support her writing development. This individualized approach had not only helped her grow in areas where she needed support, but also allowed her to feel confident and challenged in others.
The environment at Myrtle Farm Montessori is both friendly and engaging. The teachers are kind, attentive, and truly care about the children’s growth, both academically and emotionally. They provide a wonderful balance of indoor learning, where the Montessori materials encourage independent exploration, and outdoor learning, where the farm animals add an extra layer of excitement to the experience. My daughter absolutely loved spending time caring for the animals—its such a special aspect of the school that connects children with nature.
We also appreciated the school’s commitment to children’s individual progress. They keep a detailed log of the activities and lessons each child engages with, so they always knew exactly what our daughter was working on. The teachers took the time to meet with us for conferences, and also sometimes provided quick updates at pickup time, which allowed us to stay connected with her progress and ensured we were supporting her development at home.
Myrtle Farm Montessori was an amazing choice for our family - one that we are forever grateful for. Maria and her team are beyond exceptional. This school is such a gem and a gift to the community!
