We love, love, love the teachers – whatever you need to do to retain them (Especially Ms. Melissa, Ms. Valerie, Ms. Tess, Ms. Casey and Mr. Myles) should be seriously considered! While we saw lots of turnover in the Infant and Toddler classrooms (in part due to Covid and change in ownership), the consistency of (AMAZING) Children's House staff was one of the MOST important factors in staying at Peaceful Valley through kindergarten. One of our daughters had the same four teachers for 3+ years and it was such a blessing to establish trust and promote learning in this consistent environment. Additionally, early on there was lots of change at the director level at the school, which made it difficult to trust the overarching management and believe there was a clear vision. However, since Ms. Megan and Ms. Emily have taken on this role they have done an amazing job in restoring that and I would also encourage you to do whatever is required to maintain that leadership as well!

It’s evident the instructors care about every child in their classroom. I’m deeply grateful when I see a photo of Winona and the records of her activities.

How deeply the teachers know the children through observation. I have learned so much about my son. And the child led exploration.

They put in a lot of time and effort for training and lead teachers getting their certifications for Montessori. The communication is great and everyone always has a smile on their face even during hard times when it comes to being short staffed, especially during illness season.

The teachers are amazing and my children love going to school! They’re learning so much, and not just curricular work, they’re learning confidence and responsibility. It’s very cool to see.

There's something about Montessori that really spoke to my children, and to us as parents. We've had at least one child at Peaceful Valley in Golden Valley for almost ten years, and there are parts of the experience that seem ingrained into my older children's personalities at this point. They have broad interests and enjoy playing independently as well as with other kids - they still "roll out a work mat" at times. They are confident and bright, and have had the opportunity to have special academic experiences at their public school that I attribute in part to being very ready to enter kindergarten through the reading, writing, and math skills they learned at Peaceful Valley. And they are independent and helpful - while I still question the outfit choices all three of them make, they started making those decisions as toddlers and were encouraged by their amazing teachers to do all sorts of things - from helping to fold laundry in the classroom, to arranging flowers, to cutting pickles or helping younger children with their works. I will always rave about our Montessori experience and in particular our experience at Peaceful Valley.

We love how our child is encouraged to develop independence from the very beginning. The teachers are exceptional and consistently support this growth, which we now see reflected at home.

We are so grateful for our time at PVMA. Our daughter absolutely loved it and learned so much thanks to the kind, thoughtful, and loving teachers. They made her feel safe, happy, and excited to go each day. We always felt supported and knew she was in wonderful hands. We’ll miss everyone there so much and can’t recommend PVMA enough.

Several noticeable things done in the classroom have made a difference for our child’s development, even at the infant stage: quiet and independent play time have translated to good behaviors at home, feeding solids at the table has helped developed comfort at home, socialization with other babies has led to more comfort in public areas. Like all daycare facilities there have been some hiccups, but the main teacher (Amy is great!) and principals have been great resources to resolve moving forward.

My boys are cared for and loved at school. They learn lots of interesting facts that keep them talking, and have grown to be such independent children. I am proud of the growth and progress they have and continue to make at school!
