Tarah Townsend: Garden Gate Montessori is a wonderful school where my son received a well-rounded, excellent education. The guides are well educated, with all lead guides having received their Montessori certification. The school is very diverse, which is was important to us. If you are not familiar with Montessori-the method is fantastic. There are several different ways for your child to learn math concepts, reading, science, social studies-and once the guide has "guided" them through an excercise, your child continues to work independently or with a partner. It is truly a sight to see. Children also get alot of outdoor time-they have a really nice outdoor space. I also felt the guides were always available to meet with us if we had questions or concerns. Parents are encouraged to volunteer and the guides kept the lines of communication open to me. Overall, I can not say enought about this school!
