Montessori Children's House of Lansing (Joseph St.)

My son started at MCH when he was 18 months old. Now Almost 4 years later and there is no where else I would send him. I love this community .

Very nice school, Very nice methods for children’s education. My daughter improved greatly in a lot of aspects. The teachers is so nice，They are very experienced in dealing with children. Miss candy is wonderful teacher，I also learned some methods from her to teach children.

My son attended 2nd through 5th grade. We had a great experience the first few years and then we began to have issues. It was unfortunate to have a teacher her last few years before retirement as it seemed she had one foot out the door. Please be aware this school makes rules and guidelines to fit their personal agenda as they are not written anywhere, such as dress code or procedures for handling misbehaving children etc. Also this particular Montessori school is not transparent at all, if you have any issues with the head principal, Mo, you have nowhere else to turn to as the board is kept a mystery.  I believe the Montessori program is a wonderful experience for children, please keep in mind most children are typically behind in Math when leaving, but this particular school could use some change in leadership!

Amazing!  All the staff are like family!  They are so invested in each and every child throughout their entire school experience.   The child is taught not just academically, but also socially,  emotionally, they empower these children to be who they are and love who they Are.  To become the best of who they are by giving back to others and to the community.   We could not have found a better school experience for our children anywhere else.  We will forever love these people for having given so much to our children.

It is hard to articulate how wonderful this school is. You have to see for yourself and take the time to learn how greatly these children benefit - and in so many ways!
Ask questions. Do a bit of research. But really observe the children at every class level. They have more freedom than children in traditional schools, yet they tend to be more self disciplined and have better organizational skills. There are many other valuable educational and personal skills these kids develop here.
One example is handling conflict. The children learn from a very young age how to resolve conflicts with their peers. The adults are there, if needed, to offer guidance or set boundaries, but the children have to do the work. What an invaluable life skill to have!
I can't recommend Montessori Children's House enough. Our daughter is now in her fifth year there. We are grateful for the solid foundation this school has provided her and excited for the promising future it affords.
