Renaissance Montessori School Of Cary

Renaissance Montessori is excellent -- small, friendly, and reasonably priced. My two year-old daughter began attending in 2017, and my son attended from ages 4-5 during 2013-2014. There was of course some staff turnover during our hiatus between children, but the atmosphere has stayed the same, some familiar faces are still around, and the new folks are great too. We're very happy with both the teachers and the administrative staff. All of the classrooms, even the toddler rooms, follow Montessori guidelines for play and learning, and help teach life skills and independence. Highly recommended.

We love Renaissance so very much! My son started here in Mrs. Rah's class when he turned 3, and in the last year since he started he has really improved on his social skills as well as learning a lot academically. The teachers and staff here are phenomenal! The school itself is clean and beautiful. Montessori is the way to go with education, and we feel really lucky to have our son attend here!

My son has been attending Renaissance for almost 2 years now. It is fantastic place for a little person. He immediately responded to the warm and nurturing learning environment. The staff is always available to talk and encourages parental involvement. The school is very focused on building a strong community and eagerly seeks out parental feedback. They encourage children to challenge their comfort zones, in a respectful and compassionate manner. My son continues to blossom as he grows - I feel blessed to have found such a wonderful school that continues to respond the the new and different challenges each year brings! Renaissance is not a day care - it is the first step in a lifelong journey of civic responsibility and love of learning!

My son became part of the Renaissance family to help acclimate him the year before he started public Kindergarten. I can't say enough good things about what a most awesome decision this was on our part. I felt extremely comfortable with his social development and academically - he still blows the other kids out of the water. He went into Kindergarten reading well, not just being able to count past 100, but he was already doing math problems. He is now half way through his first grade year in public school and he goes back to Renaissance during track out. It is a wonderful community of staff and parents. The facility is an encouraging and enriching environment. Overall, being a part of the Renaissance Montessori Family is one of the best decisions we made for our son.

My child has thrived at Renaissance Montessori! We switched from a traditional daycare setting to Renaissance when my son was 3. The format was completely different, and I was impressed at the independent play and learning happening in the classrooms. The "works" built up his fine motor and critical thinking skills. The fenced in backyard play area is fantastic with lots of nature to explore. But most of all, I love the staff. Miss Shyamini has been his teacher in the Children's House since he began at 3, and he is now 5 years old and in their Kindergarten program. She has seen him through the difficult stages of being a spirited 3 year old, to a 5 year old with tons of empathy and improved self control. What he has learned, virtually independently, has been a joy to see. He is comfortable with all of the staff and I pick him up every day with a smile on his face. During the Covid-19 closures, Renaissance made great efforts to provide work and virtual time for our son while we were on lockdown. When they opened back up in June for summer camp, I was thrilled with the precautions they were taking. As an immune-compromised individual, it was a very difficult decision to open our bubble up to schooling. But for the mental health of all of us, the benefits outweighed the risk, and the choice was made easier by the procedures Renaissance Montessori has put in place to keep the kids and staff safe. I love their flexibility with schedule (you can select a combination of days and times up to full week and full time with after care) and they've been able to cover unexpected overtime for us when an unexpected event has kept us from picking our son up on time. I highly recommend Renaissance Montessori.
