We love Greenbrook Montessori! It’s been such a great alternative to traditional daycare for our little one - he has grown leaps and bounds, and we absolutely love the staff. They have an *extremely* low turnover - many of the teachers and staff have been there for years. The pricing is comparable and in some cases less expensive than area daycares, and in my opinion, the quality of care is miles ahead. Montessori education isn’t something we were specifically looking for, but we are SO GLAD we found this school.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our daughter to Greenbrook Montessori. She spent two years with them including her Kindergarten year. The school offers high quality teachers, exudes professionalism, and also has a lovely nutrition program. Their academic programs are balanced and fun. We see her progress and she loves going to school. We love her positive attitude about the school, and personally (how to treat others, how to look at the world). She's growing into a wonderful little person and Greenbrook Montessori has undoubtedly influenced that. We highly recommend this place.

We love GBMS! As a former Montessori educator myself that has worked in a few Montessori schools in the past as a teacher & assistant director, I knew exactly what kind of school I was looking for my daughter to go to. I knew from my background, I had to find a true authentic Montessori School. Unfortunately many schools can have the "Montessori" name but are not actually authentic at all and don't even have Montessori qualified staff. It was very important to me to find a program that had veteran lead Teachers with many years of experience. When I first got a tour of GBMS our daughter was only 6 months old. When I say I grilled director VJ with many uncommonly asked....I GRILLED him with an unbelievable amount of very specific questions from what qualifications lead teachers had & all staff to show me prove of American Montessori Society (AMS) school accreditation & DCFS license. He was so kind to openly answer ALL of my ridiculously large anount of questions with very clear & honest responses. As soon as I walked inside the school that day I knew I would enroll our daughter as soon as she was old enough to be in the toddler room. Our babygirl is now 4.5 and is in the 3-6 classroom with Ms. Julia which has been a Montessori teacher at this school for over 30 years!!! You just get this good and positive energy as soon as you walk in and to top it off the staff is amazing too which is something we value SO much!! They take such great care of our babygirl. It makes me happy to send her off every morning and know she’ll be taken care of. So needless to say I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GBMS to any parent looking for a true high quality program! I can't thank them enough for the amazing job they have done to help my daughter with her developmental & academic growth! If you are looking to enroll your child(ren) at this school, I recommend to call ASAP even if your are still in the process of considering other schools because they tend to have a waiting list often especially during the school year months August-May!

It’s been great for us and we’ve befriended other children’s parents... So far, we’ve yet to find anyone who disagrees with us about GBMS being a good place for the kids.

Could not have had a better experience for my daughter. She is excelling at school and in life, at her pace and with confidence. Thank you VJ, Debra, and the teachers at Greenbrook!

BAD, My worst nightmare for my child as she completely lost confidence, I had to spend a lot of time with her to get the smile back on the face. I will never forgive myself for ever leaving my child there even though it was a few hours!

My child was sad, upset and lost his confidence, when I talked about this to the management they told me their teachers were great and their school was the best. No curriculum, no structure and no learning but lot of chores! Bad experience for my child and I will never forgive myself for selecting it.

My school is an excellent of building a great foundation for my kid. Teachers and the head of school have multiple years of experience and great learning methods.
