School Reviews
5 5/17/2016
We are so grateful for our children's experience at this school. The staff is amazing and supportive. The administration is responsive. We could not have asked for more.
5 8/20/2012
Both of our children have attended this school and we were very impressed with the caliber of teaching staff, and the positive growth we saw in both our children. The ability to use childcare on an as needed basis is invaluable. Parents are encouraged to participate, but within guidelines that are consistent with Montessori methods.
Endorse The Montessori School-richland Campus. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
