LEAP International Montessori School

What an absolute gem LEAP Montessori is!

We are blown away by their level of care, compassion & teaching methods. Our 3 & 4 year olds not only LOVE their school, teachers and friends, but their Academics and social skills have sky rocketed as well!  The ENTIRE staff are compassionate, loving and understanding with each student!

The teachers and assistants are all wonderful, down to earth beautiful people. The community aspect is also very refreshing along with the teacher-family interaction that ensures each that each child’s care level is not only met, but exceeded.

I cannot express enough how much the staff genuinely care for the children!  We are beyond grateful for LEAP and could not recommend this school more! Thank you LEAP for being SO Amazing :)

It has been an amazing journey watching this young school grow into a fully blossomed Montessori learning community over the last several years. With a commitment to peace, exploration, and quality practice, they are an excellent choice for those seeking an authentic Montessori learning experience for their child in a truly nurturing environment.

My daughters have attended this school going on 2 years. The teachers have done a tremendous job working with our girls and have helped to advance their speaking and reasoning skills. All the teachers and staff have my true appreciation and my deepest gratitude to the owner Sheila Griffin and Betty Osoff for keeping me updated as a parent. I feel empowered because the school keeps me updated on areas where my children are excelling and where there are opportunities for further growth. Thanks to LEAP for treating my girls like they matter and helping them to respect themselves too.

We had our daughter enrolled in their 4 year old preschool program last year and were blown away with the progress she made. All of the teachers were kind but firm in their expectations and the materials were top notch. My daughter loved going to school and would surprise me with how many different things she was learning. Mrs. Griffin lets the children explore different subjects and helps them dig as deep as they want to go. I loved how much outside time the children were able to enjoy and the way they could handle physical materials and explore to their little hearts content. Before our year at LEAP, my daughter would often lash out and had a very difficult time focusing and listening and I was worried how she would act in a school setting, but after a few months she completely changed. She still is our little spitfire, but she is able to focus and take direction so much better now. When we went to visit family, everyone remarked how much she had changed and seemed to have grown that year. We have been very happy with the progress we saw in our daughter and are sad we did not continue with their elementary program but hope to enroll our younger children when they are old enough!

I recommend this school! It is hard to find an authentic Montessori education. We lived in a large city with an abundance of daycare options before moving to NM. I searched for Montessori schools there but found only one nearby, and the price was $280/kid/week! When we moved to NM, I found this school and am so happy! So are my kids! The environment is very cozy and peaceful. The kids were immediately drawn to the class animals. Everything is geared toward stimulating their curiosity, and they are learning naturally. Ms. Griffin is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She is always willing to listen and exchange insight. I always feel supported as a parent. It is easy to see that this school is her passion. My kids never want to leave at the end of the day because there is always something interesting for them to enjoy there. That makes me feel great about having them enrolled at LEAP. Also, before you make an appointment to tour the school, read about Maria Montessori and watch a couple YouTube videos about how Montessori classrooms function. You’ll appreciate what you see at LEAP all the more.

I highly recommend this school. Great teachers, wonderful facilities, convenient location! They love teaching.
