Creek Home Montessori

"Minakshi and Lucia at Creek Home Montessori are excellent teachers to young children. Our 1.5 year old son has thrived in their care, and like the other reviewers have said, he's often reluctant to leave at the end of the day because of how much fun he's having. The teachers throw birthday and graduation parties for the kids, set up outdoor water days in the summer, send cute art projects home, and overall go above-and-beyond what is expected of them. The class and playroom is immaculately cleaned and organized, with every toy having a place where it goes. There are stimulating Montessori-style activities for all ages and toys are rotated in and out to preserve novelty. The most special thing about Creek Home is that you feel you're leaving your child with someone who will care for them the way a trusted family member would. Minakshi, her family, and Lucia are a big and wonderful part of our child's life, and we are grateful to have found them."

"We cannot say enough wonderful things about Creekhome Montessori! We enrolled our daughter when she was just 4 months old and Minakshi, the whole Patel family, and Lucia have made us feel so at ease. Our daughter is always excited at morning drop off and is having so much fun anytime we pick her up. The facilities, learning materials and toys are always cleaned, organized and accessible for the children. Minakshi does a wonderful job fostering a sense a community through holiday activities and end of year gatherings so you really get to know her, Lucia, the Patel family, and the other Creekhome Montessori families. In addition to it being a caring and nurturing home, Minakshi's training as a Montessori educator makes it a great learning environment - from fun songs, to crafts, to sight words, and even Spanish, Creekhome Montessori does it all. The only downside is we wished we had found it sooner so we could have placed our two older children here too!"

"We are overwhelmed with the progress our son has made during his time at Creek Home Montessori. He is learning so much each day and is very proud of his accomplishments. He has made wonderful friends and loves his teachers. The classrooms are setup with a variety of Montessori materials to meet the children where they are in their learning journey. The outdoor space is beautiful and the children love playing together on bicycles and on the large playground and play area. We are grateful to Creek Home Montessori for the dedicated support, care and education our son receives each day."

"Our son has attended Creek Home Montessori since August of 2019 and what an overwhelming positive experience we have had with Minakshi and her family! They have a pleasant and inviting atmosphere that is clean, has plenty of room and space to play indoors as well as outdoors. We are at ease knowing he is cared for and in a safe place that facilitates his future success. He loves coming to daycare and doesn't want to leave when it's time to go. We are excited watching our son grow and learn in such a wonderful environment and are grateful for the loving care and guidance he receives. Highly recommend Creek Home Montessori if you are inquiring on a great place for your children."

"Creek Home Montessori has been nothing short of a wonderful experience for the last 8 months. This was our third in-home daycare facility in our daughter’s first year, and we feel so comfortable and happy here. Minakshi and her whole family welcomed all of us into their home from our initial visit and have loved her like she is one of their own ever since. As a prior Montessori school teacher in a larger system, Minakshi brings a learning and development mindset to her in home environment. The house is very clean and there is a lot of room for her to run, both inside and out. On nice days, she gets to play outside in the sprinkler or on the beautiful play set. They also do adorable arts and crafts throughout the year and specifically for big holidays. They are very flexible with drop off and pick up. Overall, I highly recommend Creek Home Montessori to anyone looking for childcare in Ellicott City or Clarksville!"
