As a parent of a student at Urban Montessori, I cannot express the impact this school has had on the academic and personal development of my child. My daughter, who is only 4, has a maturity and academic curiosity that I truly believe is beyond the norm for her age. I have to credit Urban Montessori with having a HUGE role in that, because I saw such a change after she was enrolled. The incredible part of it all is that she truly loves it. She adores her teacher and the presentation of each lesson. It gives her such a sense of independence that motivates her to keep exploring and learning even when she comes home.I feel confident that she will be well ahead of the expected levels of academic ability when she is old enough for the next school, and that she will have a lifelong love for learning.
