"I attribute my child's extreme self-reliance and confidence to Montessori. Everything has its place. Their reading program is fantastic. My daughter is reading and knows sounds and phonics. Her math, science and geography skills are remarkable; yet with all this skill and knowledge she is relaxed and excited about the world around her."
Diane, financial adviser, Arroyo Grande

"The fact that Ben was successful at each step of his early training with you gave him a foundation of confidence and self-esteem that survives to this day. This personal, child by child approach to learning, keeping it always concrete and sequential, is such a common-sense approach to how we should be teaching our children."
Anet, businesswoman/college professor, Arroyo Grande

"My son and daughter are very different people - in temperament, in interests and abilities. Montessori was able to meet my children's needs and keep them both engaged in the learning process."
Tom, businessman, Arroyo Grande

"The cost of Montessori school wasn't much more than the cost of quality babysitting. Yet the educational advantage has put my children in the top ten percent of their classes in public school."
Carol, high school teacher, Arroyo Grande

"In a Montessori environment, by exposing the child to problem solving at his or her own rate through individual projects and maintaining a dialogue on a one-on-one basis, all four aspects of mental development - namely, comprehension, analysis, retention and delivery - are addressed.
Sateen, engineer, Arroyo Grande

"My child has grown to love learning. He enjoys the hands-on projects and the freedom to choose his activities. He has learned to cooperate with others and resolve his own conflicts. These are just a few examples of the Montessori-fostered attributes in my three-year-old.
Dandi, stay-at-home mom, Grover Beach
