As a parent of an eight-year-old at McMinnville Montessori School, I cannot recommend it highly enough. My child absolutely loves his time there, and we have seen a remarkable transformation in his confidence and focus. We are also excited to send our toddler here once she is old enough. We moved from California a little over a year ago and are so grateful that this school has warmly taken us in and made us immediately feel like part of the community.The guides at this school are simply wonderful. They are not only nurturing but also deeply knowledgeable about each child's individual needs. We have found their ability to work with our child's ADHD to be exceptional. They patiently guide the child, supporting his unique pace and interests with grace and expertise.The intimate classroom provides a prepared environment that has been crucial for his development. It allows him to engage in a variety of work throughout the day, whether he is concentrating on a single task or managing multiple projects. This freedom of movement and choice has helped him build a sense of independence and self-discipline, which in turn has truly boosted his confidence.Beyond the classroom, there is a wonderful sense of community among the families. We frequently enjoy getting together for school events, and the school itself actively looks for ways to participate in the broader community. This feeling of connection makes McMinnville Montessori an even more special place. We also appreciate the convenience of the after-school care and the fantastic Summer Camp program, which provide great options for our family.McMinnville Montessori doesn't just teach subjects; it fosters a love of learning and helps children become confident, capable individuals. We are so grateful to have found a school that supports our child's journey in such a profound and meaningful way!
