Ladybird Montessori School

We have had our children at Ladybird Montessori throughout the Elementary and Middle School years, and we love the program! A few things we love: Our Middle School Lead Guide is so talented when it comes to working with adolescents; opportunities for independent research projects; scientific exploration and participation in the regional science fair; a maker space for gaining skills ranging from cooking to technology-driven craftsmanship; a farm with chickens and goats that the students care for; and loads of outdoor space. We are sure this experience is building curiosity and confidence in our children that will serve them in whatever they choose to pursue throughout their lives.

My children have had wonderful experiences at Ladybird Montessori. My middle schooler said that the MMUN experience is one of her most unforgettable experiences ever! They made a lot of good friends. After my children's unpleasant experience at another school, they were very happy and relieved that all their Ladybird classmates were very nice. Really good community, where teaching kids to be respectful is greatly emphasized. Most public schools don't teach home economics anymore, but they teach it at Ladybird. I commend their hands-on activities in their Makerspace, including baking and pottery.

We've had such a positive experience at Ladybird Montessori over the years, with our children attending the Children's House and now Lower Elementary. Throughout each stage, we've seen them grow not only academically, but also in their confidence and independence. One of the things we love most is how the Montessori approach allows our kids to learn at the pace that's right for them-fostering both curiosity and a true love of learning.Our children are genuinely excited to go to school each day, which speaks volumes about the environment and the care they receive. We've always felt warmly welcomed and supported by the teachers and administrative staff, and it truly feels like we're part of a community. We're so grateful for the strong foundation this school is giving our children, and we look forward to continuing our journey with them for years to come.

We've had our son at Ladybird Montessori for four years now, and we couldn't imagine ever switching schools. Our son started in kindergarten, and within the first two weeks we could tell a huge difference in his independence and willingness to do things on his own. Because of the multi-age classroom model, he had the same teacher for grades 1-3, which makes a huge difference. The level of communication from his teacher was beyond what we could have hoped for. We know all of the other parents, and Ladybird truly is a community. The director and assistant director have always been accessible and available any time we had questions or requests. We've never had any issues or complaints. We will definitely keep our son at Ladybird all the way through 12th grade.

Ladybird has been a blessing to my son. He started in 4th grade and stayed through 8th grade. My son needed a safe and nurturing space to heal from childhood trauma, and Ladybird was the perfect environment. The teachers/guides have all been amazing, and the staff has always been helpful. I highly recommend this school.
