Children of Mary Montessori

Mr. Raymond was my children's teacher and then, my coworker. He is very professional, artistic, kind and fun teacher. He knows Montessori philosophy very well and teach children with love and care. Children love him!

Mr Raymond and the Children of Mary Montessori is an amazing school. As a working mom, I needed to trust my daughter was getting a quality education. Mr. Raymond not only provides a quality education but also offers a welcoming environment. Parents were always involved in events and Raymond went above and beyond for holidays and graduation! My daughter loved being there. She is now in a kindergarten charter academy and is scoring at a 1st grade level. She is writing and reading and the teacher says her math skills are impeccable! It&#39;s always a stress free parent- teacher conference!

I would sincerely like to thank Mr. Raymond for everything he did for my son and the children in his school! His love and passion for giving children the best education academically, emotionally, and spiritually, is evident in his everyday teaching and interactions with the kids. My son has a strong foundation of reading and maths, thanks to Mr. Raymond&#39;s teaching. He could read 2nd to 4th-grade books and could do 2nd-grade maths when he graduated preschool here, which gave him a head start in kindergarten :) Here&#39;s a video of my son reading when he was almost 5 years 1 month: <a href="/redir?url=https%3A%2F%2Fphotos.app.goo.gl%2FBxfQh2SHp2p3L3Fa8&amp;s=3cc24cb5742d4bb4489d5e48c904f724a77838ce92bc232bb6bfdfc0f4a84ee0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">photos.app.goo.gl/BxfQh2…</a> Their teacher-to-student ratio is really low (1:5 or below), which I believe was one of the reasons why the children can learn a lot faster! I especially would like to thank Mr. Raymond for building the children&#39;s character and teaching them how to behave socially, resolve conflicts among themselves, and respect parents and elders, etc. These values are indispensable in the world we live in, since academics alone is meaningless. I was also genuinely amazed at how well my son folds his clothes at home with the practical life skills he learned from school! (Mr. Raymond also keeps his school very clean and tidy, and if you go early in the morning, you can see him diligently cleaning everything in the classroom every single day.) All the children Mr. Raymond teaches are very loving and courteous, and you can tell they have a great teacher and role-model in school ;) My son is now in kindergarten (Knox Gifted Academy) and we are still fond of the memories made in his preschool!
