We sent our 5-year old twin boys to Green Friends Montessori for one year. My only regret is that I wish we had found them sooner! It was so refreshing to send my children to an environment that is truly benefiting them and helping them blossom. GFMS has everything that we envisioned: a caring and highly trained staff, ample, meaningful time outside and the focus on autonomy that originally drew us to Montessori. Our boys have flourished there and, for the first time ever, report liking school! They have learned so much and developed content knowledge as well as emotional growth from being a part of the community that the school has built. From what I understand there are differing degrees to which Montessori schools can remain true to Maria Montessori’s original vision and this school is high quality, truly Montessori and absolutely darling. I would highly recommend scheduling a visit or attending an open house.
