Beresford Montessori is absolutely amazing! Our daughter has been attending since she was 2.5 years old and she has thrived in the nurturing, attentive, and positive environment. The director, teachers, and program focus on every aspect of your child's development. There are several things that were important to us when choosing a preschool: age appropriate academics, good parent-teacher communication, promotes good moral values, site security and cleanliness, etc. Bersford Montessori has all this and more. Plus the wonderful parent community is an added bonus!

My child has attended this school for 3 years and if Beresford offered school through 8th grade, we would attend. The environment is nurturing and calm, but with an academic focus that also prioritizes the chilrens'' social and emotional well being. Music, spanish immersion, parent invovlement, wonderful teachers... It has it all.
