Smyrna Montessori School

Both of our children have attending SMS and we could not be happier. Our oldest transitioned into public school and is ahead of his class in almost every subject.

I absolutly agree with the review by Allison S., and we could not be happier at SMS.  I have a 2 year old there, and we are so lucky to be a part of such a great asset to our community.  My son has had the same teachers all year and I cannot say enough about either of them...they are amazing.  They have such a wonderfully balanced approach in their teaching methods and work so dilligently at developing well rounded life skills in all of the children......and there is nothing easy about doing that with toddlers.  My son gets individual attention throughout the day. All of the staff  love him as if he were there own and he loves them the same.  He is developing friendships as well and I have seen, and am continuing to see,  my son blossom into such a caring and helpful little guy....that I know is a direct reflection of the things he is learning at SMS.  I agree, that there is definitely a strong sense of respect modeled through kindness and it is absolutely displayed toward the teachers, classmates, and the environment.  I am able to keep close contact with his teachers and the staff through email and they are always efficient with communicating.  They have frequent parent nights where the parents are invited to come and learn more about the Montessori approach and ask questions and get feedback.  They provided parent teacher conferences this year which was a great time to have individualized discussions about the growth and development of our son with his teacher.  The teacher sends out a weekly update at the end of each week to communicate what the kids have been working on and accomplishing thoughout the week along with photos of them during work and play time.  This was such a comforting touch when we first started and it really put me at ease to know that he was engaged, and comfortable throughout the day.  I have no concerns with safety at all and illnesses are no more of a problem than at any other schools. Infact, they are so aware of everything about my child that if there is any of the slightest out of the ordinary concern, they are very efficient in communicating and encouraging of proper care in order to protect themselves and any other children from spreading illnesses.  I would love it if they would eventually extend beyond the Primary program(3-6) because we would definitley continue our Montessori journey with them!!
