Absorbent Minds Montessori School

What the Parents Say:

Why Did You Choose Montessori for your Child?

• "At age three, Montessori allowed my son to learn from the four- and five-year old examples. Now five himself, he is setting the example. Montessori goes beyond the scope of preschool and individually encourages each child to want to learn more because of the influence of the other children's good manners, reading, tying shoes & the younger children want to do what the older children do, and the result is that they excel faster in a Montessori environment." ~Cristy Granger

• "I chose Montessori school because I felt my child was not getting the academic attention he requires in a regular pre-school.  I fully appreciate the hands on approach Montessori takes with children." ~Keri Countryman

• "We felt it [Montessori] was more suitable for our child's character. It allows for quicker skill development in an open environment." ~Michael & Caroline Mourad

• "We chose Montessori for our son at the age of 3 after looking into various programs. We felt that at age 3 the Montessori set up allowed him to learn at his own pace and had the ability to build his confidence based on a variety of options." ~Greg & Dina Anzevino

• "We believe that a 'hands-on' approach to learning is best for the preschool age. Our son has benefited greatly from the Montessori environment and has learned more than had he entered a 'traditional' preschool program." ~Lee & Kelley Zeiszler

Why Did You Choose Absorbent Minds Montessori School Over Other Schools?

• "I have been given the privilege to co-teach with Brandy Franks in the past so I know, without a doubt, that my daughter is in the best environment. Brandy is very caring and nurturing. Education and safety are her two top priorities. She is a very gifted teacher and her students adore her. My daughter has learned a great deal academically and socially because of Absorbent Minds Montessori." ~Anna Cooper

• "We like the quality of the teacher(s) and the personal attention they give to the students at Absorbent Minds Montessori." ~Michael & Caroline Mourad

• "I chose Absorbent Minds because they were willing to be flexible with scheduling, the one on one attention my daughter receives and the cost." ~Alison Levick

• After observing a class, I knew Absorbent Minds was the school for my son. Although the dedication of the teachers and the child-centered classroom were very impressive, what really made up my mind was seeing how poised the children were and how interested and focused they were on their work. ~Patrick & Nikki Custy

• I choose Absorbent Minds over other preschools because I knew my son would excel in that school after seeing the results of other children. ~Dave & Danae Labocki

What Has Your Child Gained From Attending Absorbent Minds Montessori?

• My daughter has gained the ability to focus on one project for a very long period of time. She has learned to be part of a group, participate in rituals, follow instructions, play with others, work independently, etc. ~John & Melinda McIlroy

• "Our son has already gained so much from his short experience in Montessori thus far. What has impressed us most, however, is not the 'book smarts' he is being taught, but the independence, responsibility and self-reliance he has begun to posses since involving him in this program." ~Bill & Kelly Andamasaris

• "Our son has gained a variety of educational skills. However, more important to us, he has learned how to be a self-sufficient, confident little boy. The Montessori classroom provided him the freedom to explore, but also the guided touch from his teachers on how to excel with each work. The set up allows for different ways to teach basic learning (math, science,reading), but with different techniques (non-traditional). We believe that no two children are the same and,given choices, children can grow and learn at their own speed from a Montessori classroom."
  ~Greg & Dina Anzevino

• "As an only child, Montessori has provided an opportunity for my son to have the positive influence of the older, and now younger, children. This has helped in his understanding of sharing, patience, teaching, mentoring and encouraging others." ~Cristy Granger

• "My son has gained a wide berth of knowledge from a variety of subject areas. He has found a sense of independence and an 'I can do it myself' attitude from the confidence attained in the Montessori classroom" ~Lee & Kelley Zeiszler
