The very first time I visited Peaceful Valley Montessori, I knew this is where I wanted my daughter to be. The director, Holly, was so kind and welcoming, and each classroom felt clean, warm and inviting.Since enrolling my daughter, I know I have made the absolute best choice for her! The teachers have taken the time to get to know her as an individual, and I feel that they truly care about her. Shes only 6 months old, but I have already seen her grow and learn so much with them!Parents are updated throughout the day on all of their childs activities via the Tadpoles app. Getting pictures and updates really goes a long way in helping me feel included in my daughters day when I cant be with her. The teachers are also fantastic about calling if any issues arise (such as illness or any questions they may have).Im so happy with my choice to have my daughter as this school, and I cannot possibly imagine taking her anywhere else!

We love Peaceful Valley! From the first time I walked through the building and met the staff, I felt as if we were being invited into a family. Every staff member has been so intentional in getting to know us and our needs. They truly are patient and caring people whose main interest is the childrens development. The teachers and materials in each classroom are true to Montessori, as well as the respect given to the children and their work time. I have complete peace leaving my son in their care and love their daily updates and pictures they provide all parents through their app. If youre thinking of choosing this school for your children, come see it! You will love it!

We were so thrilled to discover a classical Montessori school in the Bloomington area. Peaceful Valley has lived up to all of our expectations and more. Outside of our happiness with the quality Montessori program and curriculum, we are even more thrilled because our daughter loves going to school every day! She is making great strides in reading, and has made some wonderful friends. She loves her teachers so much she just informed me I “must invite them to her birthday party.” Thank you for all you do, Peaceful Valley Montessori!

Our granddaughter has started here just a few weeks ago and we feel this has been the best move ever. The staff is extremely friendly and caring. The location is great for us. The rooms are so creative and clean. We can already see such a change in her behavior and growth of knowledge. We are so pleased with PVMA.

From the moment we contacted Peaceful Valley as a possible preschool for our toddler, our experience has been wonderful! This preschool provides an inviting environment that is very true to the Montessori way of doing things. We have noticed our child has been developing new interests and healthy habits that we attribute to Peaceful Valley, and we look forward to seeing whats to come.

Amazing school! My daughter started here and they have been amazing through potty training and really helping her independence and development. The teachers really love what they do and contribute to a peaceful, unique place.

If you are looking for preschool and / or childcare stop looking now and tour this amazing place. We have been with the company since they added toddlers and infants to their program about 3 years ago. We moved with them to the new Bloomington location recently. First of all PVMA has incredibly low turn over which is a sign of an amazing environment for staff. The owners go above and beyond in all areas. They truly care about the kiddos and their staff. The staff undergoes extensive Montessori training as well and we see it in action each day. Each day each child is greeted warmly as they enter a calm and inviting environment. It still amazes me each day how peaceful it is. Communication is great between staff, parents, and kiddos alikeI could write all day here but go take a tour, you will then see what we have - PVMA is truly one of a kind.

We are grateful for PVMA. The teachers are kind, knowledgeable, and professional. The staff uplifts your mood with a smile or kind word, which is exactly what a parent needs at drop off and pick up! They work with your child at her/his pace and encourage the love of learning with lots of patience and positivity. Thank you, PVMA!

My son started at Peaceful Valley Montessori Academy two years ago and my husband and I are so thankful that we found it! We toured several childcare centers before walking into PVMA and instantly knew this was the place for our family. The teachers used calm voices and spoke at the childs level, the classrooms were full of engaging activities and there were no toys with blaring lights and sounds to keep the children occupied. It was the first place we walked into that felt like a place we could call home instead of a center. Fast forward two years and wow has this place changed my life as well. I loved the atmosphere and Montessori philosophy so much that I left my business career behind to get a Montessori certification and become a Lead Teacher here! I cant recommend PVMA highly enough.

Our experience with Peaceful Valley has been fantastic. I first learned about PVMA a few years ago when we were searching for child care for our babe to be. We had heard rave reviews and they had a location near our home in St. Louis Park. When we finally toured the facility, we were completely blown away by the environment! Kids were doing yoga in the common space, they used natural lighting in the class rooms, and they had plants all over the place as a way to keep their kids connected with nature. All the kiddos seemed happy and healthy and it immediately felt like home.At that time, I was excited to learn that PVMA was opening a new school in Bloomington close to my work with NO WAIT LIST! My babe was able to start as soon as they opened. When we toured the Bloomington school for the first time, I cried (happy tears) because it was so much more than I had ever expected. Super clean, security system, beautiful classrooms, and even a greenhouse in the back.Since we have been at Peaceful Valley, our little babe has thrived. She loves her friends and her teachers, and she is excited to go to school every day. Summer and Holly have been super flexible with us, listened to our ideas and feedback, and have made us all feel right at home.We feel so blessed to have found such a perfect little gem of a school and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking!
