Montessori Academy of Farmington Hills

"If the anxiety of COVID wasn't enough, factor in trying to find a school for your new preschooler in fall of 2020. We knew that we wanted a Montessori school, but we were really anxious about the process, the COVID protocol, and having our daughter with someone else other than family for an extended period of time. Up until it was time for preschool, our daughter was in the care of my parents while my husband and I worked. This put our daughter at a disadvantage socially because she hadn't really interacted with very many kids. This school was the 2nd school we visited. The Admin of the first school (a few blocks east) wasn't friendly, she didn't believe that children could catch COVID and overall her energy wasn't positive, giving us more anxiety about the process. When we met with Ms. Suman at MAFH, immediately, our daughter took to her, she was allowed to interact with the classroom tools while we were on tour, each building required handprints and a key code to enter, and she was very well versed in all aspects of the program. She pointed out assignments on the walls and described each child and their progress. VERY HANDS ON! VERY ENGAGED! She answered every question we had, very thoroughly. Her COVID plan was already implemented, and most importantly our daughter was engaged with Ms. Suman. On the first day of school our daughter bounced into the school and bounced out of the school. And it's been like that everyday since. And it's the same for every kid that comes in and out. All of the parents we interact with agree. The enrichment is comprehensive and individualized for each student and completely gaged for the student to be successful. We're absolutely going to miss the entire school and the entire staff. If we had to do it again, we absolutely, undoubtedly enroll her here!"

"I am a medical doctor. I came to Michigan 6 years ago. My son was born here. When he was 2 years old, I tried to find a school for him. My high school friend said to me Montessori system is the best. When I was driving to my home I saw Montessori Academy of Farmington Hills on my house`s street. I sent an email to school and Ms. Suman responded in 5 five minutes. I went to school in 15 minutes and I did registration. Because I had good feelings about school and Ms. Suman. Now after 4 years it was the best decision in my life. My Son Cansin can think, discuss, analyze, write, read, calculate, swim, travel, play like an adult. He will start STEAM Academy next year. I want to thank all teachers in the school and Ms. Suman. If you are living near this area this school is the best school and Ms. Suman is the best teacher for your kids. I never forget them. Thanks so much..."

"We have been sending our daughter to this school for over 2 years now, and it's now an extended piece of our home. The owner, Ms. Suman, genuinely cares about the children and their well-being, and knows everyone individually. She's there whenever we need to talk to her, and she is always very responsive and cares about parents concerns and feedback. Teachers are amazing, they love the kids and do a great job teaching them, and they are all experienced. Academically, kids are so advanced for their ages and they really enjoy the learning experience. They are also learning independence, teamwork and being part of a community. We found this place quite by chance, and I am so grateful for that. We can send our daughter to school, knowing that she is with our extended family."

"Both my daughters have attended this school for close to 7 years.. from the daycare infant days through K grade. From an education perspective I can't speak enough to peers about how well both my children were doing at the school and how those skills learned have supported their academics foundation. Both children were able to start reading at an earlier age then their peers, more advance comprehension skills, advanced in math as well. As they entered their elementary grade, my oldest placed in advanced stage in the state testing across all topics. I enjoy the family, tight unit perspective of the school and know that Mrs Suman and her staff have the best intentions to bring the best in each of their students."

"We have been sending our 2 1/2 year old son to Artstart Montessori Academy for the past few months and we could see many changes in him. His maturity, social skills, verbal skills has been greatly improved after he enrolled to the school. Since this is my son's first school, he did not show excitement to go to school in initial days, but due to the care of Ms. Suman and teachers, he started adapting and now he enjoys going to school. The management and teachers are very understanding and provide constructive comments to the parents overseeing the activities of the kid. We are happy we enrolled our son to this school."
