Seven Acres Montessori has given us all we ever dreamed of in building the foundation of our children's education. The teachers and all staff have truly been our partners in ensuring the success of our children's development; any concern, or communication brought to the staff is always met with warmth and gratitude. We have had both our children attend since Toddler, our eldest now in Lower Elementary and our youngest now in Primary, and we wholeheartedly believe that they wouldn't be who they are or where they are now if not for the devotion of the teachers they have had through the years. Each teacher brings their individual passions and style, but the Montessori philosophy is never lost. In being an AMI credentialed school, we feel confident that our children will always receive the same level of dedication to the 'Montessori Way', no matter who their teacher is. We feel blessed to call this school our home!

We currently have two of our children enrolled at SAM, with our youngest set to start in the fall. We started with our oldest in Toddler, and she attended primary and is now in Lower El. Our middle child is in primary, getting ready to move up to elementary! We love the school—staff, teachers, administration and the culture. Families are involved, hands on and truly care about our school, making it a wonderful environment for growth and learning (for kids and adults). We have lots of choices in Fairfield County, but we wouldn't go anywhere else. We love Seven Acres Montessori!
