My wife and I pursue Montessori education with our little ones at home, so we looked at number of Montessori schools. For the most part, we saw a lot of hybrid daycare/Montessori schools that were very disappointing. A few schools that we found were true Montessori schools, such as Country Hills.We chose this school from the other true Montessori schools (which is not too close from our house) because we liked the way the school is run by administration and and staff. It reminded me of the way parochial schools were ran when I was growing up.The principal/owner is very involved with the teachers, assistants, and regimen, so the curriculum always remains tight and stimulating. The teachers and assistants are very nurturing to the children, yet emphasize independence and good foundational habits.As far as the work and curriculum, it was exactly what a Montessori school should be providing for their students, so that was a “must” before we even enrolled.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to send our daughter to Country Hills. We started her there shortly after she turned two and it has been such a positive experience for her. We have seen her grow and become more independent each and every day. She loves going to school. The staff are very dedicated and it’s obvious that they genuinely care about each and every child and their learning experience.

Our son has been going there for a few months. So far, our experience has been great! He likes his teacher (she is very sweet), the place is clean, structured, and organized, and I feel the environment is safe and home like. Every teacher has a very gentle but structured approach.Our son has been showing progress both socially and verbally, and developing fine motor skills wonderfully.Also, the director Ms. Tonya is excellent, and knows children well.They do post less videos or photos on their app than other schools I feel (though I can appreciate they busy with the children).

My son has been with Country Hills Montessori since he was 22 months. Hes now 5. CHM provided my son with an amazing pre-school education. I am so thankful for their support and care during his formative years. They have in-school field trips. For example, community helpers come and show the kids what they do. At other times, a traveling animal show came and let the kids pet the animals. The school also has a music teacher and Spanish teacher come regularly. They have activities to help the kids develop fine and gross motor skills, learn arts, sciences and math. They even help with potty training! The teachers, particularly Ms. Michelle were wonderful and provided the nurturing environment for my son to learn and express himself. He is turning out to be a bright, kind and empathetic little person and there’s nothing more a parent could ask for.

My daughter is currently in the preschool class and has been enrolled with Country Hills since she was 19 months. The staff has been beyond expectations, loving, caring, protective and providing a great education/fun environment. My daughter has grown beyond belief academically, socially and in overall development. The director, Ms. Tanya truly cares about each kid, wants to see them grow, understands their individual development, is always available and only hires equal caring and loving teachers. My daughter has had three different teachers for the different levels of classes that she has advanced. In each classroom, the kids in the class and the teacher, were equally friendly, fun to be around and shared the same sense of overall life happiness. Additionally, the parents of other kids in my daughters class, all have been very friendly, welcoming, supportive of community growth for our kids and equally supportive in their kids development and growth. Lastly, the diversity at Country Hills Montessori is amazing! The ethnic diversity truly reflects our country and the vast array of diverse opportunities offered in the daily lesson plans is phenomenal. My daughter was able to enroll in weekly ballet/tap classes, Spanish lesson and music. I am truly happy and pleased with Country Hills Montessori.

Thanks for making us not worry when our son is under your care. You are a blessing to us and our son. The Jojo family

Fantastic school! The teachers are Professional, caring and really care and truly want the best for your child. My Daughter is always happy to go to school and full of smiles when we pick her up. I attribute this to the exemplary teaching.She loves her teachers and has improved on her social skills enormously, she is courteous and respectful and more assertive. I am so happy to see the positive changes she has exhibited from her short time of enrollment. I know she will continue to advance in her education and etiquette while attending this school. 🙂

We LOVE this school! The Montessori classroom really works for children and entices their natural curiosity. My son is happy about going to school each day. He is so motivated to learn, and loves the academic environment where his ability, not his age dictates the work. The teachers are warm and caring people . They partner with us every step of the way, allowing our child to progress at a rate that works for him. The teachers are so aware of where each child is academically, emotionally, and present new information at the right time. Great environment, loving instruction

We had a very bad experience with the school, they are very strict and gives a lot of time out to children. I would suggest to stay away from this place.

Highly recommend! Teachers are amazing! Ms. Colleen and Ms. Sarah always have the children’s best interest and safety in mind. Within a few months here my daughter learned how to read and thrives academically. Your child will thrive! Very sad to leave and move on to public schools.

I recommend Country Hills Montessori, the staff is highly qualified and they encourage the children to learn how to do things for themselves and be independent. My son can read and do basic mathematics. His social skills have improved tremendously since he started at the Montessori. I could not be any happier with his progress!

Amazing experience with the CHM. The staff is very professional and very well prepared with the Montessori syllabus. Very clean; very friendly and is surely a place I would recommend to all other parents in the area. Thank you Ms. Tanya; thank you Ms. Michele, Ms. Carolyn and the rest of the staff. Happy holidays.

We chose Montessori because we felt it gave our daughter the most well rounded and diverse educational opportunity. We wanted to expose her to a variety of concepts and techniques that would nurture her creativity and independence. Country Hills Montessori has gone above and beyond in providing this type of atmosphere for our child. We could not be happier with the experiences she has at the school. She has just flourished since attending Country Hills. Her personality has grown tremendously, as well as her independence, communication and confidence has soared. Every day she surprises us with something new she learned at school. In addition, we feel she is very comfortable, safe and secure at the school. The facility is clean, and the teachers are so accommodating, organized and nurturing. Our daughter cant wait to get to school to see her teachers and friends. She even wants to go to school on the weekends! Country Hills Montessori has been a blessing to our family! As parents, it really helped ease us into the transition of leaving our child with someone outside of the family. We love that we can just call or stop by at any time and see how our child is doing. There really isnt a better choice!

I am really impressed with the quality of education. My son and I moved from SC and I was worried he would have a hard time adjusting to a new school. CHM and its staff have made the transition much easier. Ms. Tanya and Ms. Sunnita have welcome my baby with open arms and he is excited to go to school every morning. The setting is pleasant and organized. Looking forward to seeing my son flourish with this school.

I looked at many pre-schools, not one of them compared to Country Hills Montessori. They are clean, organized, allergy conscience, and their teachers are astounding. Everyone is kind and polite and they teach every student to be that way. What I love is that it’s not like a typical daycare. The children actually learn and become prepared for elementary school both socially and educationally. My oldest daughter was very shy. She could barely speak to someone she didn’t know. By the time she went into kindergarten shy would not be a word to describe her. She is ahead for her age in both reading and writing. I owe it all to the amazing curriculum and teachers at Country Hills Montessori. My son was a very late talker. I tried everything from speech therapist to videos. Nothing worked! I put him in Country Hills at age 1 ½ and within three months he was talking in complete sentences. The best part is my children love it there! They make learning fun for them! It is truly a warm and loving school that gives every child the special attention they need.

October 2014,Im the oldest of 5 with 17 years separating myself from my youngest sibling. Therefore, Ive had experiences with many different school systems, both public and private in multiple states. This is the 2nd Montessori school Ive been involved with for my son and I could not be happier. Of all my schooling experiences, I wish I could have had both the loving, caring treatment my son receives along with the high caliber education. The wonderful people who have taught my son, led by Mrs. Jerie, TRULY CARE about their students and, at the same time, possess remarkable talent and knowledge in the art of teaching. It is heartening when a 30-year veteran of teaching lets you know that she still takes classes to stay at the top of her game and to provide the best service to her young pupils.As a business executive, I also admire courteous, professional teamwork. They truly have an exceptional team here. I toured close to 10 schools in my decision making process. This was a slam-dunk. I cannot give it anything but my highest recommendation.

Most of the teachers are awesome! The place is clean and organized. But Michelle who is one of the teachers is so RUDE to other teachers (right in front of the parents) and to parents/kids. I mean I didn’t think people needed to go to school for communication skills until I met her. She has zero clue on how to talk to people and you would think since her whole job only exists because of us putting our children into the school that she would be nice to us. Instead she acts like she’s doing US a favor. Let’s just say once my kid is old enough to leave Tomias room they will NOT be going to Michelle’s class. I’ll come back when they turn 3 and they can go to a preschool room.

Our son has been attending CHM for almost three years before he went to elementary school. Ms. Tanya has done a great job creating such a friendly, nurturing and educational atmosphere at school. Our son has gone through almost all classes: young preschool, preschool, and kindergarten. We thank Ms. Colleen, Ms. Sunita, Ms. Sara, Ms. Jerie, Ms. Michelle, and Ms. Tanya who patiently worked with our son (he is overly confident in everything) and taught him so many valuable lessons. He learned so much and developed so many good habits while at CHM. He loved all of his teachers and misses them now.

I usually dont write reviews but wanted to share our experience at this school. Had a bad experience with 2.5 yr old class. Too strict and suppressive atmosphere. This was not for us.
