what parents are saying.
Simply put, the education is superior in kind. Guides, not teachers. Knowledge and skills, not memorization. Individualization, not standardization.
I know it's not about comparisons, but my boys are now regularly two years ahead of their non-Montessori peers in math, science and English. I'd say the same for critical thinking, creativity and independence.
The guides and assistants create a space where every child is seen, heard, and supported at their own pace. Communication has always been clear and thoughtful, and it’s evident how much dedication goes into preparing the environment and every activity.
We are truly thankful for the patience, care, and observation they have shown toward our child. Seeing him walk into the classroom with happiness, explore with curiosity, and come home proud of his accomplishments reassures us that we chose the best place for him.
I wholeheartedly recommend this Montessori program. It is a beautiful environment where children can naturally flourish.
We couldn't be more grateful for the caring safe space the guides and admin have created at Wicker Park and are looking forward to seeing what our daughter accomplishes this next year!
