“Both of our children, now ages nine and six, began their Montessori journeys in the school’s wonderful Toddler Program at the age of 18 months.  Their years thus far at MSR have provided them with so many opportunities for leadership, for self-directed work, for public speaking, for hands-on learning and other life-building skills that they wouldn’t be provided in other educational settings. The teachers and staff at MSR not only encourage our kids’ natural curiosity — they also help to build up their confidence levels so that they recognize they have the ability to find the answers to many of their questions on their own. We’re strong proponents of both family and community, but recognize the value of instilling self-confidence and self-reliance in our children, and Montessori, through everything mentioned above, has proven tremendously successful in terms of instilling these qualities in both our kids and in others that we have witnessed in our years here.”
