We cannot recommend Spondeo Montessori Preschool & K3 enough. My son attended for three years, and the impact this school has had on his growth is truly invaluable.During a season of complex family dynamics, the staff showed exceptional kindness, understanding, and professionalism. They provided a safe, stable, and deeply nurturing environment where my son was able to thrive during some of the most important early childhood developmental years.The Montessori approach to child-led learning was beautifully implemented. Beyond academics, my son gained incredible life skills- gardening, cleaning, food preparation, understanding personal space, and practicing etiquette. These practical skills built his confidence and independence in ways that extend far beyond the classroom.Today, he is thriving both socially and academically, and I credit so much of that foundation to his time at Spondeo.The director Andrea is one of the most kind, child-centered, and professional women I have ever met. She runs the school exceptionally well and is highly involved in the daily life of the students and staff. You can truly feel her heart for children in everything the school does.We are so grateful for our time there and would wholeheartedly recommend Spondeo to any family looking for a nurturing, enriching Montessori education.

In looking for a school for our daughter, I was very picky about where she would go. I have very high expectations after working in the field of childcare and Montessori and want the best for my daughter. When we toured Spondeo Montessori, I knew it was the school for her and one I would feel safe sending her to. The toddler classroom was peaceful and calm. The children were all happy and engaged in their work. The lead teacher Ms. Meena was happy to answer all of my questions and even sent me some photos on her first few days to help ease my mind that she was happy and doing well. She has been attending now for 6 weeks and she loves going to school. We have already seen so much growth in her, and we are so happy we made the choice to send her to Spondeo. If you are looking for a school with high-quality education in a serene, safe, and loving environment, Spondeo has it all.
