Rock Creek Montessori School

Best kept secret in the area for Montessori schools. My twin boys attended for two years at the primary level. The faculty and staff are wonderful, supportive, and attentive, and knew my children extremely well. After visiting 5 similar preschools in the area, this one was the clear winner even though it wasn't the closest geographically. Classroom management is great, class size never seemed too large, and it was extremely affordable compared to other Montessori schools. I know 3 families that have sent multiple children for years. When I first visited the school, some of the children came up to me and talked to me about their work and really made an impression on me. They were happy and active little ones!

I have plowed this school's snow all throughout the winter, as they requested. The last snow, which was the most we had, was cleared an hour after it stopped snowing, but they decided not to pay, as we will not have any more snow storms this winter. I wonder if that is what they educate their students? To steal from the hard labor of people. I tried to resolve the problem with the administrative staff, but unfortunately they simply stopped picking up the phone.  All This trouble for a $100 lousy dollars, which was a gift in my part!!!

We couldn&#39;t ask for a better school for our 18 month old daughter. Rock Creek Montessori did a phenomenal job of transitioning our daughter from her grandmother&#39;s care to being in a classroom for seven hours a day. The teachers are exceptional at identifying what makes each child unique and catering to the child&#39;s needs. And they do a great job of helping the child become comfortable and confident, so they can behave in the classroom the same way they would at home. If your child can go to this school, consider yourself lucky.

My little boy loves his school! I feel so lucky to have found this place for my toddler. We went to an open house a few months before he started -- they have them often. It was during a storm and I almost turned around, but I was getting desperate after visiting a bunch of daycare centers that I didn&#39;t like. We felt so welcomed!  ALL the staff was able to explain their philosophy and showed genuine interest in education and pedagogy. Most importantly, the chemistry with my active, happy son was instantaneous. This good feeling and experience continued during the application process and the first day I dropped my son off I felt relieved and confident about my decision. He clearly liked it too, until now, there have been no tears during drop off, ever. He actually never wants to leave. My experience with a previous day care was night and day in comparison. It is a small school in the lower level of a church, but all teachers are very professional. This is a real Montessori school -- the materials in classrooms are very well set up, and they have lots of outdoor play, even on colder days. They often go on walks in the quiet woods that surround the school. All teachers are great with the kids, and expose them to various languages. There is a small student-teacher ratio and a diverse staff and student body. We couldn&#39;t be happier!
