Crossway Montessori Forest School

"My daughter has gone to Crossway for the last year and a half, since she was only a few months old. We love Crossway! Our daughter thrives in the outdoor environment and is growing super quickly. The outdoor space is amazing and it's clear how much she's observing and learning. Being outside so much also means our daughter rarely gets sick. The school has closed for Covid only a couple of days, and even that out of an abundance of caution (which we strongly appreciate). We love all of her teachers -- they are caring and conscientious and supportive. When we struggle with behavioral issues like sleeping, her teachers and the administrators are one of our first calls and are always willing to help. We couldn't imagine a better place to send our kid."

"Having found this school during 2020, when our other Montessori school had closed and we were unsure about their reopening plan, we could not be happier that our two boys are thriving at Crossway. The teachers are passionate not only about nurturing a child's exploration of the world, but doing it OUTDOORS. We sought an outdoor preschool for our oldest when we first moved to this area, and nothing was available nearby, so when we found this school we were thrilled that a forest school was available nearby. We then fell in love with the community of teachers and administrators. The way our children speak now, it's clear they're doing very deep work and learning how to be inquisitive, problem-solving people - while adapting to the near-constant changing weather and adversity that presents. It's perfect for us - just wish this kind of education could carry throughout elementary and beyond!"

"My husband and I were extremely nervous about placing our daughter in school for the first time. We were more than pleased with our experience at Crossway! We are so grateful to find this school. They are so attentive with the kids and incorporate so many activities throughout the day. My daughter learned so much from the short time she was there, and honestly we would have never pulled her out if it wasn't for the distance. It took us over an hour at times to get to the school. If I had to come up with a con it would be that I couldn't come into the classroom and observe my daughter anytime, but looking back now I think it was a good idea they did this because she became more independent and the transition period wasn't as bad. Mrs Johnson was my daughters teacher and she was the best! She has the set the bar so high, that even now with the teachers we've encountered after leaving Crossway, no one compares! She's truly a blessing. Trust me you won't regret your decision to bring your child!"
