We have been so happy with Turtle River! Our oldest is now in her third year, and we truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. We love the energy, passion, and care the teachers bring each day, and most of all, we love seeing the confidence she comes home with and the friendships she continues to build.
Our 18-month-old just started as well, and she has been so happy with it already. It’s been such a great feeling seeing both of our girls enjoy being there and feel so comfortable in the school environment.
We really don’t look at Turtle River as just a school. It feels much more like a community, and we’re genuinely grateful and thrilled to be a part of it.
I enjoy the community, teachers and staff. I am a big fan of the structure and style of learning. Choosing turtle river was the best decision for our children.
We love everything about Turtle River: the small family atmosphere, the wonderful nurturing teachers and creating a learning environment that fosters independence, love for learning and emotional intelligence.
The teachers are well trained and wonderful with my children. The school is authentic Montessori which is evident in the beautiful classrooms and the demeanor of the teachers. We love the security guard, Mr Rob, and we love the school administration.
Every member of the Instructional staff created a warm and caring environment where all students can display there true personalities and learn at their highest levels.....Love TRM
I like the teachers and the Montessori method. However, let me tell you what I don’t like and you can improve. I find irritating how often we are asked to donate to the school. For example, for the festival of India, the teachers asked one of the parents to buy several pots of clay from Walmart. Why doesn’t the school buy in bulk and provides to the teachers of all the classes? Then the donations of pumpkins for the decoration and selling at the Harbouside market, the school could buy them in bulk at a fraction of the price that parents buy the pumpkins. And finally, the trip for the conference in DC should not fall on the parents to donate and fund the trip. The school should pay for it.
