Our daughter has been going to Kinderhouse Montessori School for last last 3 years. She joined in toddler class when she was 2.5 years. This school has made such a positive impact on our daughter`s life. The teachers & the staff are wonderful. The teachers are caring, teach in small groups & let each child go at his or her own pace. Focus is on kid`s independence. They also use materials to help children understand the lessons in different ways and make learning things interesting & fun.
