Wilson Montessori Academy

I had my two children enrolled here last year. My eldest has since graduated but his brother remains a student. We’ve moved around over the last few years and have had our kids enrolled at multiple centers in Chicagoland and a couple out of state as well. W Montessori has been, by far, the most excellent, enriching, supportive, safe, and engaging environment my children have ever been exposed to in their short lives. I cannot recommend this school highly enough. The level of care and investment of attention the staff puts into each and every child is is unparalleled. They’ve cultivated an incredibly strong community of teachers, parents, and children, and I’m proud to say it’s a community that my family and I belong to. No need to look any further. This is the place.

W Montessori has truly become like family to us. Both of our children have been part of the W Montessori community since the toddler program, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The teachers are incredibly warm, nurturing, and attentive. The facility is always clean, well-organized, and safe. We've seen wonderful growth in both of our children's social, emotional, and educational development. We highly recommend W Montessori to any family seeking a supportive and enriching environment for their child.

Both of my children attend W Montessori — my oldest is 6 and just started kindergarten, and my youngest is 3 and currently in the preschool program. I truly can’t say enough good things about this school and what it’s done for our family. When my oldest first started at W Montessori, he really struggled with drop-offs. It was hard for both of us. Lots of tears and difficult mornings. But the teachers were incredibly patient, compassionate, and consistent. Over time, they worked with him (and with us!) to build trust and comfort, and now I look at how independent and confident he’s become, and it’s honestly amazing. He was so well-prepared for kindergarten, both academically and emotionally, and now he actually loves going to school. That change alone is something I’m endlessly grateful for. My youngest started when he was barely speaking in full sentences, and now, just a couple of years later, he’s blossomed into such a curious, expressive little learner. His vocabulary has exploded, and he’s so eager to share what he’s learning each day. More importantly, he’s learning how to do things on his own and gaining real confidence all in a supportive, nurturing environment. All of the teachers at W Montessori are highly qualified and just amazing with children. They genuinely understand kids and how to meet them where they are. You can tell they really love what they do, and that care shows in every interaction. The director, Ms. Jen is incredible. Very on top of it, super communicative, and clearly has a strong vision for the school and the kids’ success. W Montessori has truly become a second home for our children, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found it. If you're looking for a place where your child will be supported, challenged, and deeply cared for, I can’t recommend them enough.

We had both of our children go through W Montessori and couldn't be happier with the program. Our children learned valuable life as well as academic skills that not only put them ahead of the curve in grade school but also helped tremendously with their participation in our household tasks. And their staff is truly something special, we have always felt as though we were family and that the teachers were 100% invested in our children. We can't recommend this place enough!!!
