Green River Montessori is a wonderful school. They have great teachers and has a very loving and clean facility. My child has attended for many years and will continue for many more. The office staff is busy and occasionally things fall through the cracks, but when brought to their attention it is handled immediately. Everyone is human. I don't believe that any of the staff (office or teachers) are arrogant.

They have solid facilities and caring teachers. However the administration is out of touch, unorganized, and lacks modern communication skills. They consistently make mistakes in finances and have an overwhelming arrogance when meeting with parents
Endorse Green River Montessori. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
