Pearlite Montessori Home

"Pearlite is truly exceptional! As a first-time mom with prior experience as a nanny, my standards for childcare were sky-high. I wasn't just looking for a place where my daughter would be looked after; I wanted a warm environment where she would be cherished and cared for deeply. My goal was to find caregivers I could trust wholeheartedly, allowing them the freedom to guide her development without the need for constant oversight. Nilo and Ceyhan are the epitome of what I had envisioned. Rather than being bogged down with unnecessary reports and updates throughout the day, I wanted caregivers who invested their time directly with the children. Nilo and Ceyhan exceed this expectation; they genuinely love and care for the children under their watch. They not only tend to their basic needs but also cultivate their interests, foster socialization skills, and impart valuable lessons, ranging from emotional understanding and self-dressing skills to introducing concepts in history, music, science, math, geography, colors, and shapes. In short, Nilo and Ceyhan are a dream come true."

"I was so nervous to send my kids to school when I went back to work. They were 2 & 3, used to always being with me, and I knew it had to be a very loving environment. Ms. Nilo has such high standards for how children should be treated that she started her own school when she wasn't satisfied with the options for her own kids. She is a very experienced teacher and she truly adores each of her students. She picks up on all of their unique qualities and guides them in so much personal growth. Since moving out of state I have yet to find such a nurturing, play based, Montessori focused school. I am forever grateful for the time my 2 boys spent with Ms. Nilo "

"Pearlite is an excellent Montessori school. I recommend it to Parents in the Portland area who want to give their child an authentic Montessori education."

"Best place for your children! Highly satisfied ."
