Montessori In The Park

I received an education at Montessori in the Park from age 6 through 10 as part of the very first class to enter the school in August of 2007. As an adult I have had the honor to work with MIP on various opportunities including fundraising events and doing school photos for the 2021-2022 school year. The children that are educated at Montessori in the Park gain skills that are certainly not offered elsewhere; granting them the freedom to guide their own education and subsequently give them important life skills that are often not learned until well into adulthood. MIP empowered me as a child to take important steps in my education to reach my goals - including allowing me to excel academically early in life eventually leading me to graduate high school at 16 and college at 19. I could not have gained the confidence needed to take such large leaps of faith in my education if I didn’t receive such a strong foundation in my most formative years. As an adult, I now see the importance of the Montessori methodology and the wonders it can have on child development. Mrs. Kim and the rest of the MIP team are wonderful - highly, highly recommend this fantastic school!

We have to take back our 5 star review. Unfortunately this school was not the best for our youngest of three girls. After two years of our daughter attending the Denali classroom we were asked to not return because our daughter is showing signs of autism (Speach delay and socially delayed). Even after we brought in our own speech therapist and we’re seaking other resources to help her and the staff navigate through her challenges. We were told they feel that they can not help her because they are not teachers but guides. Our only regret was that we didn’t leave sooner so that our daughter could of had a better preparation for preschool with staff who wanted to help her instead writting her off and saying she required too much one on one tome.  We gave this school 6 years and were asked to leave in such a awful unprofessional way with only a few weeks left in the 2021-2022 school year. Which left us scrambling to find another school at the last minute for the following year. We have now moved onto another school who is better equipped and has resources to help our daughter. She is thriving and showing so much improvement, verbally and socially. So please if you feel your child has any delays or may be the spectrum choose another school.

Because of this awesome school I accepted to make a huge move from California to Arizona. No regrets it has been simply the best decision I’ve made, my three children love it, the school staff is more than just the staff they are a family of kind loving and very dedicated people. My children love their teachers and everyone at this incredible school. There is nothing but care, love and kindness here. We love MIP!

My kids and I love this school! I have three children that attend MIP. One is in the 2 year old program, another in 2nd grade and my oldest is in 4th. My two oldest are in the same class and they all learn so much at this school. The Montessori method with its hands on, play based learning works so well for all three of my children but especially for my dyslexic daughter. We have been apart of this school going on 5 years now and will be here for many more years to come. We are just waiting for the junior high program to get started so that they can stay at MIP through 8th grade.

We absolutely love Montessori in the Park! Our children have been here for 4 years now. Our youngest completed the full primary curriculum and is now in elemantarty. Our oldest started in the 1st grade and is now in 4th. Every step of the way our teachers have been so compassionate and welcoming. It is wonderful to belong to a community that feels just like family! If you’re looking to get out of the public schools and into a truly individualized education, Montessori in Park is the place to be!
