Rock Prairie Montessori

Our daughter attended Rock Prairie Montessori and everything that this school offers is top notch. The facility is beautiful with large windows in every room, a massive gym, and a great outdoor play area. The teachers/guides work with your child and create an awesome environment. As a testimony, Ms. Monica even taught our 3-year-old daughter to meditate and slow breath 3 deep breaths to calm down. That alone deserves 5 stars. As a comparison my nephew attends the top Montessori school in Portland, OR and my sister and brother-in-law expressed that Rock Prairie Montessori has a beautiful campus and programs and activities that even they do not have. Regardless, this is a great school with great staff.

My daughter has attended since 2011 at the age of two. The school and the staff are amazing. They have allowed my daughter to excel as I don't feel she would have had the opportunity at another institution. At the age of 4 now she is beginning reading lessons which could not impress us anymore. The teachers and other school staff have made this school a necessity in our families lives.

My son has been a student here since he was two. He is now six years old. We did not intend to stay this long, but it has been such a great place for him we can't bear to leave. The teachers/staff care about each child and family, and the quality of academics high. One aspect of instruction that our family really appreciates is that students don't just sit at a desk and take in the information. For a busy little boy, the movement, frequent changes, and style of teaching are invaluable.

I am a parent of two students at Rock Prairie. We have had our kids at the school since 2010. I can't imagine a better environment for learning and growing. The environment is fantastic, the teachers are amazing and consistent, the programs offered are flexible and effective and the staff is helpful and supportive. Our kids love the school and we love the school as parents. The whole school is focused on the needs of the child academically, emotionally, developmentally, physically and individually. The teachers are in tune with different children's needs and adapt easily to meet them. My kids are very different from each other. They have both excelled at Rock Prairie. The school teaches kindness, respect and peace. It is a major theme throughout the school. We are so glad our kids have the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful place.

We couldn't be happier, and that includes our 2 year-old. The teachers are highly educated and provide true academic (including cognitive, social-emotional and physical development) support and feedback. We are in constant touch with our teachers and school staff. The classroom and grounds are beautiful and inspirational. We love being involved and have many opportunities. Our son only cried on his first day back this fall when we said, "We have to go now" (meaning mom and dad). He screamed, "I want to stay here!" He is excited to work and learn there. It's peaceful.

Great school. Our son enjoys the class, teachers, field activities, and various other things over there. Ms. Nancy and Ms. MaryAnn have been his favorites over there! Overall, we have seen so many improvements in him, starting from social skills, language, vocabulary, discipline, etc. We love the school and plan to send our second son over there as well.

This is truly an amazing place. Janesville is lucky to have such an institution.

This is a wonderful school. My daughter has been a student there since she was 2 years old. She is now starting her 1st grade year and is more excited than ever to be continuing her Montessori education at RPMS. Great teachers and staff, great administration, great families, and a great community to be a part of.
