Mckenzie Montessori Institute

I was looking for a daycare when I was pregnant in 2023 and had so much worry about finding the right place. My neighbor's daughter spoke highly about McKenzie Montessori, and it made me feel secure to hear directly from a child who attended the school. When my husband and I went to visit, we met Michele, the director, and knew it was the right fit almost immediately. They take excellent care of my now 18-month-old. He absolutely loves going there each day. The teachers truly care, and the administrative team is responsive and understanding. I highly recommend them and wish they went all the way through 5th grade so he could stay there as long as possible!

Both of my kids, now 5 and 8, attend McKenzie Montessori Institute, and we have been very happy these past 4 years. Thanks to the teachers there, my daughter was potty trained by 2 years old and has formed lifelong friendships. The curriculum is always adjusting to fit her needs. She is already reading and is definitely ready for kindergarten. We are so grateful for the staff there and highly recommend it!

This school is absolutely amazing. The staff is so caring and has great communication with parents/family members. My son has flourished and has learned so much in the short time he's been there. I am so grateful for them.

Our 3-year-old great-granddaughter has been a student at McKenzie Montessori Institute since she was 6 months old... She is thriving and in the PK3 class led by Sylvia Kitterman... Highly recommend the school and its staff...

My grandchildren attend McKenzie Montessori institute and are performing well above their grades. They are excited to be there and to relay all they are learning!

My grandchildren attend McKenzie Montessori institute. They perform above grade level. They are excited to be there and eager to tell me all they`ve learned. Security is excellent but friendly.

I absolutely love the Montessori model & Mckenzie Montessori has an amazing staff to boot! I have all 3 of my boys at this school and gladdened be happier. Every day I pick my 6-year-olds up, they are beyond excited to tell me about their day & what they learned! I highly recommend McKenzie Montessori to anyone with young children, especially if they get bored easily or struggle to keep up- this is the place they will thrive!

All 3 of my young kids go to this school. It`s super convenient to have different ages go to the same place. My 2 y/o is developing his speech, manners, and social skills nicely. My older kids are reading beyond their grade level, they excel in geography, and they are proficient in math now. The teachers are very effective and the results are clear.

Great school, great staff, great friends. My son had learned so much because of this school. He had made great long-term friendships here as well. He's been there since he was 8 months old and I plan to keep him through kindergarten. Definitely recommend for parents looking for more than a daycare, but a place that does hands on education.

Our daughter has been going to McKenzie Montessori since Nov 2020. She had been though a lot of transitions prior to that and since we were new to town during the pandemic with both parents working; we knew she needed an in person option for kindergarten so we were happy to find this school. They offer drop off as early as 7:30am and pickups as late as 5:30pm which helps with the demanding schedules we have. They serve snacks and meals so we don`t have to worry about packing lunches. We love the montessori model of learning- with the pandemic, it's been important that each child is challenged at the level they`re on. She quickly made friends and has been enjoying the teachers and the school since she started. Her teachers have gone out of their way to make her feel important and have even sent her home with gifts! The area in which I see room for improvement would be in communication. I`m not sure who to talk to about what and I don`t get a lot of feedback about her learning progress. In contrast to her previous (pre) school experience- I don`t get as much information as I used to about what she does day to day, there's just less communication which can frustrate at times. She seems happy and we've seen her applying her math and reading skills at home, so we know she's been progressing. We will be keeping her in school through the summer and in the fall as well and would recommend McKenzie Montessori to friends.

My son and daughter have both been attending McKenzie Montessori since September 2011. We absolutely adore the school and wouldn't even dream of sending our kiddos anywhere else. The teachers are both consistent in their expectations and very kind. My kiddos are learning so much and also having a great time. My son has in the past had some behavior issues at our previous school but has had no problems here. The teachers have been able to really work with him on an individual level and he is just thriving there.
