Elan Vitale Montessori School

Our older child has been at EVM for a year and our younger child will start in January. The entire staff has been so supportive and responsive in our time here, I can’t recommend it enough! I truly feel like my child is building a foundation for lifelong education. I am always in the loop when we need to address developmental or behavioral challenges, and Molly and Katie have been so helpful in recommending resources to help us overcome obstacles we’ve had. Overall an amazing environment.

This is a wonderful school for children. Children are encouraged to explore the world around them, to socialize, and to spend time in the outdoors. If you have an intelligent, creative child who struggles with traditional school models and sitting quietly in a desk for hours on end, the Montessori model and the staff at this school make education an enjoyable experience, rather than being difficult.

Great small school that embodies the heart and principles of a Montessori education. The teachers know your child by name and sincerely love their jobs as well as the children.

Quite a terrible experience...no management whatsoever and curriculum was below expected standards.

I just wish there are enough reviews online for a parent to make a better decision whether or not to enroll their child in schools like Elan Vital. Since there were hardly any online reviews I decided to enroll my child with a positive mind. But guess what I regret my decision; Elan Vital is the most disorganized school I have ever come across; whether be it lunch time, snack time, nap time, the list goes on. The teacher is good though but the management sucks!!! The play yard is not age appropriate at all, my child has had hundreds of big bumps & bruises which took days to heal and bug bites all over legs and hands every single day my poor baby :(.  I just wished the school took care of little things like this. Since there is no action or improvement my child is not continuing in this school.

Our family remains grateful for our kid&#39;s time at Elan Vital, from 3-6 years old.  She was loved, nurtured, allowed to be a kid. Hands on learning, playing in the dirt, huge investment in teaching social intelligence.  I&#39;ve read some really pissy reviews where parents are like &#34;my kid was behind when she went to Kindergarten&#34; -- but my kid was on level as well as other parents I know, she got into the gifted program where she is thriving in first grade.  I loved that the priority was the whole child rather than drilling my four year old on skills - she also had art, Spanish,  yoga, and creative movement instruction.  We could not have asked for more.  Highly recommended.
