Elizabethtown Montessori School

One child attended Kindergarten here and had a wonderful year, increased knowledge, self confidence and sparked a love for school and learning. She made the transition to public school first grade with no issues.

Our second child was able to attend for 3 years, ages 3-5. We had an incredible experience here and recommend the school to everyone we can. I have had a child enrolled at other area preschools (both Montessori and non-Montessori) and the quality of instruction, the wonderful true Montessori materials and classroom, and the respectful and joyful classroom environment make this school stand out from all the rest. The school is safe and clean. The teachers are trustworthy and get to know each child.

The teachers are properly trained and dedicated to the Montessori method. There is so much consistency, calm, leading by example, respect, kindness, and fun because of the wonderful teachers. The classroom is clean and safe. The children are so happy at school and it was a privilege to get to observe the class deeply engaged in their work. The teachers also ensure daily outside play and healthy snacks. The children have close to a full hour of time where they prepare their eating area, and enjoy talking and eating without being rushed. They also clean up and put away their lunch time. Our 3 year old learned many "grace and courtesy" concepts at school that carried over to home life (walking quietly, carrying his plate, cleaning his area, saying a blessing/thanks).

The communication between the teachers and parents is phenomenal. There is a great mix of incorporating art, music, outdoor exploration. There are usually a few special visitors (past examples include: firemen and fire truck visited the school, wildlife/biology professor visit, parents bringing farm animals for the children to interact with) and a group field trip. The children are all friends and there is a fair amount of diversity in the school population as well. I strongly encourage you to visit the school and speak with the director to answer any further questions you may have. This school is a community asset and we are so thankful our children were able to attend this school. This is the best Montessori school option in the area by far.

New Montessori school in Etown. I love my son going here. He is fully engaged and starting his love of learning. It is child focused and wonderful. The teachers are amazing and instantly made my boy comfortable. It was his first time being out of the home on his own without family and he had no issues. The school is based in a church but it is not religious based. Religion is not banned like it many schools but it is not their focus. Beautiful environment for learning, great structure and gentle guidance for the young mind. If you are not familiar with the Montessori learning techniques read up on it and you will instantly know that is the place you want you child to be!!! Highly recommend this school!!!!
