Our experience at this school was horrible and filled with stressful months. What kind of teacher threatens to expel a toddler at preschool? Our toddler did not have issues at the previous traditional preschool. They made our child to seem like a monster as the teacher gave out false diagnosis (ADHD, social emotional psychological issues etc) that our pediatrician determined was not valid. I’m so glad it’s all over, we are out of Lamplighter Montessori school and we can now happily move on to a regular traditional school.

We have been at the school for 5 years, through lower elemenatary and now upper elementary. My children spend their days at Lamplighter in a environment that is kind, accepting, encouraging and academically challenging. The children are driven by their own natural desire to learn and explore which develops a true love of learning. Each classroom is a community where the children contribute to the successful operation of that community, a culture that is unique to Montessori and Lamplighter, an accredited Montessori school. My children, one of which is quiet and reserved, the other an outgoing social butterfly have been equally succesful and feel a sense of belonging and acceptance in their school environment. Long time Montessori teachers and a dedicated administration work together and are focused, aligned, and committed to the students and Lamplighter community. Lamplighter is a hidden gem in our community and we absolutely love our school!

Always open and supportive community. Staff is always available to assist when needed. We toured 2 other local Montessori programs in the area and this one was the most solid and stood out by having an observable curriculum.

My daughter has attended this school for two years and has loved everyday. She loves her teachers and has access to one on one time with them at anytime she needs. My daughter considers the principal to be one of her friends . She has such a positive energy that it is shown in all aspects of the school. We truly appreciate the positive effect this school has had on our daughter and we look forward to many more years . So grateful to be apart of this Lamplighter Montessouri family.

My daughter went through their entire program from early childhood through middle school and she is a very motivated college student now. She wants to be a lawyer and attributes her love of learning to her Montessori upbringing.

LMS has been an education savior for our son. He was struggling with public school's chaos and traditional learning. He is not "special needs" per se, but he learns better by touching and seeing so the Montessori method works well with him. Also, the loud, screaming, competitive environment spurred by public school classrooms is a complete 180 from Lamplighter classrooms. Go in for a tour and you will be amazed at how calm and nurturing the classroom setting is. All of the kids are sweet to each other and have respect for their teachers. Even when our kids have birthday parties somewhere the employee "party host" always comments as to how calm and polite our kids our. If you want to experience a refreshing change of pace amid the unstable re-structure of local school districts give them a call and take a tour. You will be glad you did.
