Montessori School Of Aurora

We have had the pleasure of being part of the Montessori School of Aurora family for over 10 years. All 3 of our children have attended MSA, our oldest is now 12 and our youngest is still attending at the age of 5 1/2. MSA has provided our children with a solid foundation and a love of learning. Our children have experienced diverse cultures, been exposed to concepts of global citizenship, been academically challenged, and nurtured through their years at MSA. The teaching staff is AMAZING!!! The same teachers that taught my oldest son are still at MSA which provides an amazing continuity for our family. The teachers are loving, supportive and are incredibly in tune to the individual needs of their students (Ms. Cucqui, Ms. Dee and Ms Amanda are the best!!!). Our family has gone through personal loss in the last year and the love, support and care that we received from MSA as we coped with things was incredible. They supported my daughter through the loss of her grandmother, were there for our family in numerous ways from bringing food, attending services and just taking care of our children when they needed it most. When we first decided to put our children in day care 10 years ago, we visited numerous facilities and are so blessed that we chose MSA right from the start. This school is a family owned operation which shows in their flexible approach, the stability and experience of their staff and teachers, and the tremendous growth and academic advancement of their students. My children have learned so much at MSA and my older boys still love to visit and catch up with their old teachers. All 3 of my children went on to kindergarten at a public school after attending MSA for 3 years and were all academically advanced and extremely well prepared for kindergarten. They were all able to read (simple books) by the time they left MSA, doing simple math and were quickly placed into the highest academic groupings in public school. While we are involved parents, we never had to do extra work with our kids, MSA made sure that our children were challenged and supported at their own level to ensure that they grew academically. We highly recommend this school for any families who truly want a nurturing and supportive experience in their children's early childhood development. Thank you MSA for everything you have done for our family, we are so sad that this year will be our last with you, but we hope to continue to visit in the future!

I highly recommend this school. My son graduated Kindergarten from Ms. Rachel's class and I special requested that my younger daughter be with Ms. Rachel too because of all the growth we saw in our son. My kids love school because of this program. Now that my son is at a new school for 1st grade, Ms. Rachel and the staff continue to be a great support with his new school and really are our "village." I cannot say enough about how great this school has been for our kids! -- Wonderful staff, wonderful leadership, happy kids and grateful families!

My husband and I are thankful for Ms Lori's leadership. Everyone we interact with at MSA are stellar! We were reflecting the other day about when we first brought our son to MSA. Ms Shawn truly made us feel like family and after meeting her we knew that MSA was the school we needed to send our son to! Not only send him to, but pick up our family and move to this side of town just so he could attend. The quality of education taught here is superb and we continue to see our children grow and gain the confidence they need to thrive.

My son currently attends the Montessori School of Aurora and has been there for the last two and a half years. During his time at MSA, the staff has fostered the development of both his academic and social-emotional needs. Specifically, his teacher has differentiated her instruction to cater to his individual learning style and talents. She has exposed him to challenging activities and she has sparked a love for learning through her creative and imaginative lesson planning. Aside from the high academic expectations, the staff plays a very nurturing role in understanding my son’s social-emotional needs. The administration and teachers have engaged in positive problem solving to generate interventions to support my child’s needs. With their strong understanding of child development and years of experience, they have collaborated with me to determine the best path for my son. Their genuine concern for my child’s well-being is authentic. My son’s time is coming to a close at MSA. Currently, I am visiting public elementary schools as well as private schools in hopes of finding a solid kindergarten program. Truly, I am having a difficult time finding a setting that will match what MSA has offered my son over the past few years. At this point, I know his foundation is strong and he is equipped with skills that far exceed what many programs expect of him. MSA has a true recipe for success. Their balance of high academic expectations and a nurturing environment has proved an effective and positive experience for my son. I anxiously await for my six month old daughter to begin her MSA journey. I have recommended and will continue to recommend my friends and family to MSA.

We love this school. Our son has been here for 2 years and our daughter will start in June! It is incredibly safe. From the personal key code to get in and OUT, the security cameras in every room and hallway (so we can watch our kid from home or work - not very productive for our work, but fun) to the way they teach the kids to treat each other with respect. I love that they are teaching my son the skills to deal with the actions of others in a productive way. My son and his friends are smart, funny, confident and kind. These traits are encouraged and reinforced at this school. Highly recommend that you check this out for yourself and your kid to see if this is the right fit for you. The staff is competent and fun and they love my kid and he loves them.
