White Bear Montessori School

Our son attended WBM last year and it was a terrible experience. His teacher and staff borderline harassed us if we were even 5 minutes past the pick up or drop off time which happened many times as you can expect with traffic and living more than 20 minutes away. The tuition is absolutely ridiculous for what they provide. We paid over a thousand each month and didn’t even get the benefits of a school lunch, field trips, extracurriculars, etc. The teachers do very minimal and get paid to just supervise all day. My son never enjoyed going and by the end of the year, Marnie said he would do better “in a play-based environment”. I have been a teacher in an early childhood setting for years and can confidently say ALL children learn best when it’s play-based! This school was harsh and didn’t allow my child to even play or be himself without punishment. Please do not send your child here!! We are very happy he will be going somewhere that is “play based” and will be actually teaching him some stuff before preschool now this coming year.

This school is amazing!  The Montessori way of teaching children is brillant and the staff here are fantastic.  Our girls attend elementary (3rd & 4th grade) and their skills - both academic and leadership skills - continue to amaze me.  Thank you!

Our two boys have been at White Bear Montessori for a few years now and we have had a very positive experience. During Covid-19 the school stayed open since the start of the pandemic for our kids to attend childcare and to support families -- without any outbreaks at all of Covid-19. They continue to learn and follow new guidance to keep all of our kids and community safe during these uncertain times. I would recommend WBMS to anyone who is looking for summer care or future school enrollment.

I loved going to this school! Best school for hands on learners!

Marnie is an amazing principal, and this is an amazing school. They are a joy to work with.

An exceptional school. The staff is caring and compassionate. The facilities are beautiful. The price is reasonable. Every morning when I drop off my daughter, I&#39;m happy to know that she is somewhere she loves to be and where she loves to learn.
