"As a mother, grandmother, and a former educator, I am so incredibly impressed with Montessori West; and you are Montessori West!  Your dedication, passion, and commitment to the education of young children is extraordinary.  The results are evident. During the last 3 years, I have witnessed the remarkable intellectual curiosity and the evolution of Lucas’s humanity soar.  He is a wonderful little boy; he now knows how to channel his strengths for his own growth and to benefit those around him. You are to be commended. The graduation ceremony was a gift for all of us.  The confidence and pride with which all the students performed was inspring.  I have watched this with awe.  In general, we underestimate the capability of young minds; you never have.  The children’s joy in participating was palpable; their sense of accomplishment was inspiring. I look forward to the next few years as my Zoe’s time with you progresses. With appreciation and many thanks,
Ellen Oland
