Hands on Montessori changed my child's perspective on learning entirely. The school completely reignited a love for learning that I feared had been permanently damaged in her first years in the traditional school system. I had my concerns transitioning my 3rd grader from a traditional school setting to the Montessori method. Those nerves were quickly settled by the supportive staff at HOMS. They answered every question, and held a nervous parents hand, while helping my child take the skills she learned from her previous school and apply them to the Montessori materials. They observed her, and discovered her strengths and helped build her confidence and excitement about what she is learning. They have helped teach her how to find her voice and advocate for what she needs, whether it be in a social setting or educational. She went from a child, who in previous years, didn't want to attend school, complaining of stomach and head aches, to a kid who would enthusiastically wake up ready to go. Her excitement for learning even went to the extent that she asked me pull over one day after school pickup because she couldn't wait to show me something new she had learned in Math. I cannot say enough good things about this school and the staff. They know each and every family and really see your child for who they are, and support them with such love and kindness day in and day out. It has been a lifechanging experience for my daughter.

Hands-On Montessori provided our kindergarten age son with a fantastic year. We were so impressed with everything—how the school was run, the curriculum (we especially love the inclusion of peace and arts), the teachers, and the entire approach to learning. Our son absolutely thrived in this environment as it truly focuses on the child learning and exploring on all levels. Miss Em went above and beyond given the incredibly challenging world circumstances, and she made sure every family felt heard and supported while each child received the educational experience they deserved. Miss Al and Miss K are absolutely fantastic guides and fostered a love of learning within our son. The other teachers are also wonderful, and they all interact with the children and families in such a positive way. Miss Em really focuses on building a nurturing community and it really makes a difference. We highly recommend this school to anyone considering it!

It is a wonderful, special place and we are grateful to have found it. We have been with HOMS for 4 years and will continue for as long as we can.

Wonderful, I'd keep them there through high school if I could!

Beyond horrible. Issues with teachers, refusal to handle bullying. I pulled my son out of this school mid year due to all the issues.

Awful and not worth the money. Don’t.

Hands On Montessori has been a nuturing and inspiring place for my sons. We have been connected with the school since 2008. Both of my kids love learning thanks to Montessori method, and particularly, to the safe learning enviroment and dedicated staff of this school. Kids learn world geography, concrete math skills, and much more using hands on materials. Kids are excited to take responsibilty of classroom duties and help their peers learn. They learn to solve conflict and learn grace and courtesy as modelled by their dedicated teachers. We are glad to be a part of this school family. I know my kindergarten son, who is still there, has supportive teachers and staff that care about him as a person and a student. Highly recommend. Big things come in small packages.
