What parents say
We love Montessori Oaks! They are so great and flexible and truly care about the kiddos! Nina is an amazing director and owners! She is very hands on which I think makes this place so great! We've tried other Montessori's and hands down this one is the best in the area. Our son has been attending since he was nine months old.
Rachel C · 5/5 on Google · 5 months agoMy son enrolled at Montessori Oaks earlier this year, and his time there has been a great experience. He will be starting Kindergarten soon and I feel like Montessori Oaks has made him well prepared to begin elementary school. All of the teachers and administrative staff have been kind and helpful and we will be sad leave when my son graduates.
Kimberly Reese · 5/5 on Google · 5 months agoOur daughter has gone to Montessori Oaks since she was three months old and she is now nine months. She loves it here! She has the best time in the infant room. The owner, Ninna, is super responsive and kind and really cares about the kiddos. Ms. Sara is also super sweet and does a great job with the little ones. They also do a lot of fun events and activities.
Katherine Graham · 5/5 on Google · 9 months agoBetween our two children we have attended all 3 classes at Montessori Oaks and we’ve had nothing but great experiences with all of our teachers. They do a great job of caring and preparing children for grade school and I would highly recommend them!
