Ms. Patty is amazing! My kids are now 15 and 17 and we STILL remember the ways in which she impacted our kids. We couldn’t be more proud to have made the choice to allow her to help educate our children and cultivate a deep appreciation for learning. I knew within minutes of meeting her this is where my kids were going to attend and thrive! Montessori and Ms. Patty are the REAL deal as educators and the concept is unmatched after being a part of public education on both ends.
Excellent center for learning! The Montessori Method is by far the best way to get toddlers/preschoolers interested in learning. Great social skills, plus life skills to jump start your child toward a very bright future. Recommended to anyone and everyone.
This school embodies everything we hoped for my 4 year old daughter. From the moment you enter, there's a sense of calm and focus — 30 children working independently, choosing their own activities, and treating the space (and each other) with care and respect. It’s quiet, organized, and full of purpose. The growth we’ve seen in our daughter has been incredible. She’s learning something new every day — not just academic skills, but independence, responsibility, and confidence. The way lessons are broken down into manageable, meaningful steps shows a deep understanding of how young children learn. The environment is beautiful — natural wood, soft colors, open shelves, and child-sized everything. It feels like a home designed for discovery. Simple routines like removing shoes and washing hands not only promote cleanliness, but also instill mindfulness and good habits. The teachers are clearly passionate about their work. They create a respectful, inclusive community where each child is seen and celebrated. It’s more than a school — it’s a place where our daughter feels safe, valued, and empowered. We’ll be so sad to leave when 1st grade begins, but we’ll carry this experience with us always.
The best school and the best teachers. I wish I got my kids into the school sooner. They have taught my daughter so much and she loved it each and every day. You can tell all the teachers truly have a passion for what they do! They emerge the kids in so many engaging and important activities. They are the best! 💗
Our son has been at Follow The Child for the last 2 years. We can not say enough good things about Ms Patty and her dedicated team of AWESOME teachers. It is evident that they truly care about the children & want the best for them. The curriculum extends far beyond ABCs & 123s. The lessons are interesting to the children & include geography/maps, culture/foreign language, history, community, music, etc. They really involve the children & provide a hands on/see it/say it/hear it approach to learning. Our son has learned to love learning and has grown so much academically and socially at FTC. I would highly recommend this school without hesitation.
