Love that they have the opportunity to try new foods. We receive pictures throughout the week. They have an interactive music class. Love that they are able to get involved in other programs, like soccer shots and dancing in harmony, while being in school. The staff is incredible and always friendly.

There are not enough words to show the gratitude I have for this school. My older son started attending Montessori Academy on the Ranch in August 2019 and he is excelling in elementary school. I have to give a huge thanks to the teachers for tailoring his work period to him and meeting him where he was developmentally. My younger son also started here in April 2022 and still attends. He has grown so much. When he first started he could barely walk and talk at 18 months. Within a few months his vocabulary expanded along with his motor skills. His teachers truly focused on his specific development needs as well. Both my kids learned how to be confident, independent and complete basic tasks, such as clean up after themselves, get dressed, ask for things in a polite manner, etc. The school also does a wonderful job of potty training our kids! I didn’t have to do anything! Both my boys absolutely adore the teachers and the staff is wonderful and gets to know you on a personal level. We love the school so much we decided to stay here even though T-K was an option for both kids! Thank you to Tamara, Michelle, Tia, and the rest of the staff for the impact you made on my kids! We are so grateful!

We have had great experiences with both our kids at MOTR. They learn and thrive in their classrooms and we are happy with the ease of communication with staff. Our daughter’s teacher, Ms.Michelle is well loved by all. We are grateful to have this place in our community.

Primary Three Teachers (Michelle Riddle and Hannah) are the absolute best. I couldn’t be happier with how much my daughter, Kennedy, loves both of them. She tells me such wonderful stories about them when she gets home. She looks forward to showing them her toys and telling them about her afterschool activities etc. I also think that Tamara and Tia really care about their teachers and administration. They seem to have a knowledgable staff that is very happy to be there. Most importantly, they seem to provide the staff with support when it is needed. Montessori Academy at the Ranch is 12/10, and we are happy that it has been Kennedy’s preschool!!!

We have been here for a few years now with 2 kids. They love going to school and they learn a lot, different cultures, planets, animals, all that good stuff. There are extra classes you can enroll your kids in like, dance and soccer. They have someone come in and plays music every week. I see my kids have The entire staff is beyond amazing.

My daughter has been thriving and I appreciate that the staff is so attentive to her and her needs, as well as the needs of all the other children. I can see how well behaved and independent my child is at home thanks to the environment at her school.

I love the staff there! My son's teacher Ms. Marisol. She made what would have been the toughest transition, for a 20-month old kid who never spoke any English from home, to Montessori Toddler program, to a very smooth one within 2 months. We already noticed so much development from our son after 3.5 months. The office staff Ms. Tamara and Ms. Tia just made every day a very pleasant start and finish for our family. The activities at the Montessori and the monthly events keep our kids highly engaged and learning of new cultures and festive! We just love everything Montessori at the Ranch has to offer!!! We just love it so much and cannot wait to send our younger daughter there once she is 18-month old!!!

We really enjoy attending this school. We've been here for a few years and have seen the dedication and love from several teachers. I love the additional of allowing parents to come in to read at Christmas time and volunteering at Easter. I'd love if there were additional opportunities for parents to come in and volunteer in the classroom or if there were different mini concerts, etc. that families could attend. Thanks for all that you do!

Love the education and how friendly everyone is. I have one child who attends and one isn’t quite old enough for us to send him but he loves to go to pick up and drop off and I know he will be really excited when it’s his turn also!
