Our daughter was a student at TMA since she was a toddler (2 years old). Now she is a thriving Kindergartener at a public elementary school who is far ahead academically compared to her peers. We are so fortunate to be able to send our daughter to TMA and equip her with a strong foundation, academically and character-wise too. The teachers and overall environment are amazing and nurturing. The Head of School always tries to find areas of improvement and provides the children with the best education.

We love Triangle Montessori Academy! We have been there almost three years and now have two children at the school. They have both thrived at TMA. The teachers are wonderful and the director has done an excellent job of maintaining a happy, steady place for our children the past few years. Especially throughout the COVID pandemic, we feel very grateful to send our kids to such a safe, welcoming community.

Our daughter loves TMA! The teachers are WONDERFUL and really care about the students. Due to COVID we haven't been able to spend a lot of time in the classroom, but we love getting the updates through the day via the app that they use.

My son attended TMA for two years after we moved to the area. The feeling of community and compassion is incomparable. My son completed kindergarten, and we were heartbroken for him to have to leave such a wonderful place. The playground is huge and shaded, the teachers are kind and effective, and the focus on teaching children to be kind and courteous with one another was the perfect fit for us.

I looked at many preschools and had extremely high standards for loving my children and instilling a love for learning with my children. I wanted them to grow confident and kind. TMA is the ONLY one that I felt met my standards in the area. This is not the school where brick and mortar and frills and bells and whistles matter, this is substance over style. They don't need to show off their facilities because their biggest asset are their teachers and their program. This is an EXCEPTIONAL school, and the teachers and founder are passionate about their kids and what they do. They are the most diverse community, experienced, loving, caring, and nurturing school, and having moved to many states and we are an international family, I have found NOTHING that compares or matches the highest standard - they are really good at what they do, they are extremely humble and down to earth, and they love our kids like their own. I couldn't be more proud and more grateful for their partnership and trust them with my child's well being whole heartedly. Our biggest sadness was leaving this school when we moved to the West Coast, because they were our family and our support system, so that says it all!

It's what you're looking for! Our son started at TMA and has been there now for 3 years coming up this June. We've looked at MSR, Heartwood, Kingswood, Raleigh School and many other montessori and traditional pre-school options when we started, and we chose TMA for several reasons. The teachers are trained, certified, and keep up to date with professional development. The principal believes in regular CE and training, and that helps keep the curriculum up to date, with fresh ideas circulating in. Our son has been with nearly all the teachers there, and they have all been compassionate and nurturing, helping him to develop into a great young man. They understand and heavily incorporate the montessori teaching philosophy into all their activities, and it shows in their projects and work that are displayed at the school. Tuition is competitive with other schools in the same category, and they offer before/after care, extra activities/classes on a pay per activity basis. The school is smaller than Heartwood, which is what we were looking for. At the end of the day, other schools had pretty stuff, and pretty facilities, but when we delved further with questions, they just didn't execute as well as TMA did. I care more about the personal interactions and attention that my son gets on a daily basis, and I'll trade pretty buildings and big playgrounds in for a collection of great teachers who are dedicated to what they do, have the versatility to work with children at all skill levels, and take the initiative to meet children where they are, and push them to be better. I believe we could not have picked a better place for our son to grow up in.

Over the last two years, our son has been attending Triangle Montessori Academy.We are so impressed with the way the teachers treat all the children. Our little boy has learned so much and has grown emotionally and developmentally.We, also, love the fact that Triangle Montessori makes a great emphasis on exposing its students to different cultures; as a result, our son loves geography and talks about traveling the world.

If you like hands on learning and want to raise an independent learner and thinker this Montessori Preschool is the place you should bring your little one. Over the last 3 years both of our kids attended this beautiful place to grow and we could not be more pleased with the Montessori trained teachers, the nice backyard and the warm and always welcoming head of the school. We are totally in love with this place and are sad to say goodbye since our kids have outgrown the preschool age. All the best for the school and hopefully many more happy children for years to come.
