Seven Acres Montessori

Seven Acres Montessori has become a second home for my three children. All of them started in the toddler program and my eldest will be graduating from upper elementary (6th grade) this year. My kids love going to school. The teachers are passionate and caring. The environment is engaging and peaceful. The learning materials draw the students in. The community is warm, diverse and kind. The friendships made are long lasting. The school is accredited and follows the intentions of Maria Montessori so your children are receiving an authentic experience. Every detail is intentional down to the amount of natural light in all classrooms. There is a view of the outdoors no matter where you are. Visit the school. Fall in love with it, and become a little jealous that you didn't get to go here as a child. It is the best gift I have ever given my children.

Education is a big part of our family's life, and from the moment we visited Seven Acres Montessori, we knew it was the right fit for our children. Diversity was important to us, and the school provides a nurturing, inclusive environment where our kids thrive. The classrooms are wonderful, and seeing our children work independently and confidently on activities they love is truly amazing. Seven Acres has also created a strong sense of community for both children and parents. Choosing this school has been one of the best decisions we've made for our children's education. The way they teach math to the children is amazing.

Seven Acres Montessori offers a warm, intentional learning environment where children are encouraged to grow at their own pace. The mixed-age classrooms, hands-on materials, and experienced teachers support both academic learning and social development. What stands out most is the respect shown to children; they are trusted, listened to, and guided with patience. We appreciate the school's commitment to fostering independence, responsibility, and a genuine joy for learning.

SAM has been a true gift to our family. Our son (7) has attended for the past three years, and the growth we have seen in that time has been truly meaningful. SAM's teachers and staff have helped him develop a strong sense of responsibility and care for the community, as well as a sense of his role as a citizen in his local community and the broader world. Those values have carried over at home, with our son growing into a more patient and thoughtful big brother to his little sister.SAM also does a wonderful job nurturing and celebrating the whole child. Our son's love of sports, reading, art, and building has been encouraged and celebrated, helping him grow in confidence and curiosity.SAM is a wonderful and unique school, from the warm environment to the thoughtful and deliberate staff and teachers, and extending to fellow parents. That this is a special place is apparent the moment one walks through the school's doors. We are very grateful for SAM and the positive impact it has had on our family.

My son has been in this school for the last 7 years. He started when he was 2.5 years old, and we fell in love with the independence-fostering Montessori pedagogy. Now, as a fourth grader, he has flourished in so many ways, being supported and inspired, his curiosity engaged, his inquiring mind awakened, and his thirst for knowledge sparked. The way he has learned about the world and his place in it, math and language are impressive. Most importantly, he has acquired skills that will enhance his development for the rest of his life. All thanks to an extraordinary Montessori education from an AMI-accredited school. At the same time, we have not only found a safe, nurturing space for him, but we have also found a wonderful, welcoming, and diverse community that we are so honored to be a part of. Seven Acres is our home and family and great partners in our child's education and our development as parents. All in a nature-immersed campus. The best decision we have made as parents!

We've been part of the Seven Acres Montessori (SAM) community for nearly seven years, and it's truly one of the best decisions we've made for our daughters. The school nurtures not just academic growth but also confidence, independence, empathy, and a genuine love of learning. Our children feel known, supported, and inspired every day-they come home curious, joyful, and full of stories. The faculty is deeply dedicated, and the school's warm, inclusive culture has helped our whole family feel connected. As parents, we've found a community that shares our values and cares deeply about raising kind, capable humans. SAM is a special place, and we're so grateful to be part of it.

Seven Acres Montessori has given us all we ever dreamed of in building the foundation of our children's education. The teachers and all staff have truly been our partners in ensuring the success of our children's development; any concern, or communication brought to the staff is always met with warmth and gratitude. We have had both our children attend since Toddler, our eldest now in Lower Elementary and our youngest now in Primary, and we wholeheartedly believe that they wouldn't be who they are or where they are now if not for the devotion of the teachers they have had through the years. Each teacher brings their individual passions and style, but the Montessori philosophy is never lost. In being an AMI credentialed school, we feel confident that our children will always receive the same level of dedication to the 'Montessori Way', no matter who their teacher is. We feel blessed to call this school our home!

We currently have two of our children enrolled at SAM, with our youngest set to start in the fall. We started with our oldest in Toddler, and she attended primary and is now in Lower El. Our middle child is in primary, getting ready to move up to elementary! We love the school—staff, teachers, administration and the culture. Families are involved, hands on and truly care about our school, making it a wonderful environment for growth and learning (for kids and adults). We have lots of choices in Fairfield County, but we wouldn't go anywhere else. We love Seven Acres Montessori!
