What Parents Say:
The owners and teachers here have our son an incredible start to his education. He developed his love of school and learning at Greenwood Montessori Children’s House. Their loving and balanced approach let him flourish educationally and socially. Would recommend any family to start their child’s educational journey here!
John M.
We have had a great experience at GLM! We love the small size of the school and the community feel! The kids love all the outdoor time they are getting daily (rain or shine) and the independence they have gained with the help of the wonderful teachers!
Jasmin E.
My son loved the staff and activities. They were patient, kind, and engaging. He loved every bit of summer camp. Every morning he looked forward to seeing everyone. He is a high energy curious kiddo and they embraced his full personality.
Naine F.
Both of our children had a wonderful time here and outperformed nearly all of their peers when they went on to a new school. Excellent style of learning that you won’t find in a public school.
Justin G.
Both of my boys went there and they loved it! The teachers took great care of them and my boys always felt safe there. I highly recommend this school.
