Lake Meridian Montessori provided a safe learning environment filled with variety of activities and diversity. The staff is friendly, caring, and really devoted to kids learning. My son gained new skills, learned how to communicate effectively, socialize, made new friends, and had fun each day. He has been exposed to variety of projects such as crafts, science, music, Spanish, nature, and field trips. I was amazed by the education he received including science, math, and writing. Each week, he brought his work home and was excited to share with us. We’re really happy with the program, school, and staff.

Our three years with Ms. Amrutha and Lake Meridian Montessori have been wonderful for both our daughter and for our family. Our daughter truly blossomed in the Montessori environment and it has been a joy to watch her grow in all areas and to see her excitement to learn. The teachers and staff are incredibly open, kind, nurturing and caring and took the time to truly get to know our daughter and to connect with her. The school is highly organized with exceptional communication with parents. Our daughter grew socially, academically and emotionally during her time at Lake Meridian Montessori and is fully prepared for kindergarten. We couldn't be more grateful to Ms. Amrutha and all of the teachers and staff at LMM who have supported our daughter during these important early years of her life. We highly recommend Lake Meridian Montessori and are sad to be leaving!

We are eternally grateful to Lake Meridian Montessori for creating a warm, inviting, and productive environment for our two children to attend and being their education journeys. Each of our children attended the Preschool program, which represented a well-rounded and diverse curriculum throughout the school year. Monthly newsletters would keep parents informed of the activities and subjects the students were covering, along with parent-teacher meetings and consistent availability to communicate with us on whatever questions and concerns we had. Our children attended the Preschool program for multiple years, and throughout each year, the curriculum balanced academic fundamentals with new subject matter focuses, all at levels that challenged the children while also preparing them for future school environments. That last point is the greatest takeaway as parents; it is clear that LMM does a remarkable job at preparing children for future schooling and educational environments. Once our oldest child went onto Kindergarten, it was apparent how well-prepared and adjusted LMM had made the transition. Our kids learned so much and grew not only in their knowledge, but their ways of learning and processing information, and also with their communication, both to towards their peers and to adults. Again, we are grateful to LMM for the excellent education, preparation, and experience for our children, and will not forget the beautiful crafts, projects, musical performances, and finally, all the learning and growth LMM provided for our family.

“Montessori experience has been positive for our daughter who will be entering her second year at *Montessori Time. We are happy with how much she has learned this past year in Math, Reading, and Practical life. She has a great teacher who really brings out the best in her.”
Juma Family
“Our daughter started at *Montessori Time this year at the age of three. She has thoroughly enjoyed her first year of preschool. We were amazed at what she was able to learn both educationally and socially. The Music and Spanish part of the program are a great compliment to the curriculum. The environment is very conducive to learning and our daughter is very eager to return every day. The staff is very professional and work wonderfully with each child at their own pace. Our daughter especially enjoys the many field trips and in school visitors. We look forward to next year the learning opportunities that will be afforded her.”
Woodward Family
“Our twin’s Kindergarten experience at *Montessori Time is very positive and rewarding. We always talk in our native language at home. When they started school we were so worried about them. They seemed “behind” in their communication skills, disengaged from others, but in just a few months, they tremendously excelled because of the incredible personal attention and commitment Montessori Time provided them on a daily basis. Their personal growth, improved confidence level and thirst for knowledge is a direct impact of the wonderful learning environment *Montessori Time creates. My twins have grown to love learning. They enjoy the hands-on projects and the freedom to choose their activities. They have learned to cooperate with others and resolve their own conflicts. My son is advanced for his age and is allowed to work at a challenging level. In this school each child is an individual. These are just a few examples of the Montessori-fostered attributes in my twins. We are very pleased and impressed with the care and attention my twins receive. Our deepest appreciation and thanks to Miss Rita and her staff for providing a nurturing, encouraging, comfortable setting full of enriching activities that complement each child’s learning style.”
Pamma Family
“We love *Montessori Time! Naturally, we were quite anxious when we sent our first child off to preschool, but we quickly became at ease once starting *Montessori Time. The teachers are great and provide a warm, nurturing environment where the kids feel comfortable while learning. We are currently sending our third child there and he is doing very well, as have our other two. The non-competitive nature of the Montessori method has made learning a fun and positive experience. At *Montessori Time, we truly feel like part of a “family” and I would highly recommend the school to anyone and everyone looking for a quality preschool.”
Aramaki Family
“*Montessori Time was a great first educational experience for our son. He was able to explore, learn, ask questions, and think at his own pace. He was able to manipulate various educational devices and try new things. MT not only cares about the education aspect but the whole child. They daily cultivate manners, thoughtfulness, kindness, acceptance of others and good hygiene. Our son always waits until everyone is seated to begin eating…’because that is good manners’! Every child is a unique and special gift from above and MT truly embraces the individuality and uniqueness of each child. My son thoroughly enjoyed his first ‘school’…what more could we as parents ask for? He enjoyed the guided independence that *Montessori Time offered. He loved having Spanish class, Music class, field trips and as a Kindergartener ‘special Fridays’! We would recommend this school to anyone! The dedication of the owner and staff is remarkable–thank you *Montessori Time for teaching and caring for our son!”
Zendejas Family
“Our daughter has loved *Montessori Time since the very first day she set her foot in the school. She is always looking forward to the different activities (music, Spanish, show & tell, birthday celebrations) and to seeing her teachers and friends. It was really difficult to explain to her the purpose of summer holidays last year! *Montessori Time School has such a beautifully diverse environment and the children cover such a wide spectrum of topics that it is really broadening our daughter’s horizons. I love the calm environment, the strive to create self-confident, independent individuals, and last but not least, *Montessori Time’s own work towards continuous self-improvement! Our daughter’s younger sibling will be joining her next academic year.”

“My daughter started at *Montessori Time when she was a a few months shy of turning three. I knew she needed to be in a preschool setting but was worried that her age would make it hard to find a school. I checked around and found that Montessori Time is very reasonable priced for a Montessori School and I have been so impressed by *Montessori Time. They have been so patient with my daughter and have worked with her to teach her the rules and structure of the school day. My daughter looks forward to school every day and asks to go on weekends. She loves her teachers and tells me all the fun things she does at school. She especially loves the music time and has become our little soloist around the house. I love that they have a Spanish program. We are greeted with many “Holas” these days. I believe that every penny of our tuition is very well spent.”
