Montessori Academy Of Carrollwood

We recently enrolled our younger daughter at MAC a few months ago when she turned 18 months. Our older daughter attended MAC from age 2 through kindergarten. We have had an absolutely incredible experience with all of the staff at the school. The teachers have always treated the kids as if they’re their own. Their care, affection, and attention to the kids is evident as my daughter can’t stop talking about her teachers when she’s home. As our older daughter progressed, we saw the teachers go above and beyond to accommodate her skillset and keep her challenged at every stage. The foundation she received from MAC has set her up for success.

MAC has been such a gift to our family. My son started at MAC when he was just 3 years old, and as a first-time parent and former teacher, I could not have imagined a better place for him to grow, learn, and thrive. The teachers are truly wonderful. They are caring, patient, and committed to each child’s development. And I cannot say enough about Ms. Dana and Ms. Angela in administration. They have always been kind and supportive. It is clear how much everyone genuinely cares about the children and families in their community. I really appreciated the consistent communication and the thoughtful events throughout the year, like the winter and spring concerts, the Kindergarten Tea Party, and graduation. These moments helped us feel involved and part of something special. My son flourished academically and emotionally at MAC. The Montessori approach is beautifully implemented, and we have seen the positive impact. We are very sad to be saying goodbye as he moves on to first grade. I honestly wish MAC went through 5th grade! We will miss this very special place.

We absolutely loved MAC! Our kids have been through infant room through Room 4. The kids were happy to go everyday and happy at pick up with smiles on their faces! The teachers are so caring and loving-- all the staff is great! Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough great things about this school. The teachers and administrators are kind and patient. They really allow each child to grow at their own pace, gently encouraging them to be their best. My older daughter started right when she turned 2 and graduated from their Kindergarten program. She left with an amazing baseline education, reading and doing math at least 2 grade levels above her level. I would have kept her at MAC all through elementary school if that was an option! My younger daughter started 3 years later and we continue to have an amazing experience. The school has made so many improvements in the last three years and the teachers continue to amaze me every day with their genuine excitement to teach and treating each kid with so much love and respect. I cannot recommend this school more. It has become an extension of our family!

Three years ago, a life change put our family in a situation where we needed to place our children in childcare. We placed them in a school and although it was of good quality, our children's experience was not the best and it was a daily battle to leave them there. My wife and I began to seek alternatives and came across Montessori Academy of Carrollwood. We took our then three year old daughter to visit the campus and within minutes she asked us if she could stay. We took that as a sign to enroll her and we never regretted it. The staff and owners are very vested in the children and their school. We later enrolled our two year old son and he took to the school the same way our daughter did. Our children have spent the past three years at the school and have loved every year. They look forward to attending every day and have grown and learned in a caring and attentive environment. Our daughter also went through the kindergarten program with much success. The teachers are nurturing and the class sizes are adequate for them to provide individual attention to the children. The owners have invested in the facility and have maintained and upgraded the it through the years our children have been there. Overall, my wife and I are more than grateful that we found this school and that it has made such a positive impact on our children's lives. From a parent's perspective, the staff is approachable and genuine. I would recommend this school to any parent.
