We had a wonderful experience at IMS. I am so grateful to the staff for creating such a loving, encouraging place for my son to learn and grow. We had seen other Montessori programs but none were implemented as well as IMS. They fostered a culture of curiosity and pride in learning that motivated my son to want to learn and prepared him for elementary school. It is a very special place.
Our family joined the IMS community in 2019, and since then, both of our children have had an incredible experience. The Montessori approach has nurtured their curiosity, independence, and confidence beyond our expectations. We’ve watched them grow into creative, thoughtful individuals, thanks in large part to the exceptional teachers and staff. The care and guidance they’ve received at IMS have made a lasting impact. We’re deeply grateful for the years we’ve spent here and will always be proud advocates of IMS.
We had a truly wonderful experience at the International Montessori School. Both of our daughters spent two years in the classrooms and also attended the summer camps, and we could not have been happier. As parents, we don’t often trust anyone outside of family to care for our kids, so choosing a school was a big step for us. The teachers here quickly became like family, and we had complete trust in them and in the Montessori curriculum. The environment was warm and welcoming, and our girls absolutely loved their teachers and looked forward to going to school every day. We miss the teachers and the school very much. Highly recommend!
We had our son at 2 and 3 years old here and we were so incredibly happy with the experience. We came from a city daycare that was very high tech but did not compare to the structure, education and care that our son received at IMS. His teachers treated him like one of their own children and that was very apparent at every pick up and drop off. We would without hesitation send a child here and would recommend to anyone looking for high quality childcare in the area.
Our son attended IMS Malvern's infant class from September to December 2024. We had a wonderful experience working with the teachers, Ms. Somaya, Ms. Hui, and Ms. Teja. For the 6 infants in the room, there were three teachers, which meant the teacher-child ratio was beyond excellent. Each teacher was highly skilled in taking care of our son, and by the time we finished there it was clear that he enjoyed going. When the weather was nice, they were outside every day with the children, which was so good for them. They were very careful with watching how he was developing, and were able to answer any of our questions about it when we asked. They treated him with care and respect and this helped him thrive in that home-like environment. When our son started to approach pre-primary age (18 months), the teachers allowed him to be with the pre-primary class and enjoy some of their activities. We left only because the West Chester campus of IMS is nearer to us, which our son now attends and loves. But we are extremely grateful to IMS Malvern for offering an infant program in the first place, and for doing such a fantastic job taking care of the children as well. We were able to let our son attend with the confidence that he would be in good hands every day. Thank you IMS Malvern!
