Mansio Montessori of Geneva 102 Howard Street, Geneva, IL 60134

"One of my favorite Maria Montessori quotes is, “The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.” This sums up Mansio Montessori of Geneva perfectly. Janet and the staff are amazing. They are passionate about teaching the Montessori philosophy and it shows in the smiles you see on the students faces when you walk into the school. The best decision I made was to stay at Mansio Montessori of Geneva for kindergarten. The Montessori foundation my children learned in the early years came full circle in the kindergarten year when they actually saw themselves making an impact in the classroom and took ownership of it becoming more confident and proudly leading others. If you haven't taken a tour of the classrooms, contact them! You will be awed by the amount of independence and awareness the children display."

"Mansio Montessori was one of the best decisions we have ever made for out 3 children and our family. It was a private school experience that has given our children the foundation for their love of learning. All of our children started with the Beginner Toddler program and continued through the Kindergarten program. Going into the first grade they were well advanced in their reading, math, foreign language, and social skills. Janet and all of the amazing teachers were always so kind and loving to our kiddos. I learned so much from them and am forever grateful we found this school. I highly recommend Mansio to everyone I know."

"My son attended Mansio in the mid 2000's. We thought his development was on a normal trajectory until he entered public school in Batavia. We immediately realized he was way ahead of the other students. We believe this leg up came from Mansio. He continued to advance throughout elementary school and by the time he graduated high school last year he was operating multiple years ahead in several subjects. He is currently enrolled at Arizona State university, majoring in actuarial science on an academic scholarship. We believe it all started at Mansio and we can't thank them enough."

"Mansio has been so great for our son. He used to get so frustrated with learning handwriting and letter sounds, but a few months into attending Mansio he has completely changed his outlook on learning. He wants to practice and loves to show off what he’s accomplished. His teachers are so incredibly patient and kind. I really wish I would have sent him here sooner!"

"My two children (5 & 4) have been enrolled at Mansio since they were 2 years old. They have progressed through the toddler, preschool and Kindergarten programs. My family has had nothing but the best experience with Mansio. Janet Shanahan is wonderful, ALL of the teachers are wonderful (they are responsive, engaged, and listen to any specific needs we may have). My kids thrive on the hands on attention and interaction with their peers they get through this program. I think the classrooms they have progressed through really helped them grow and become the independent human beings they are. You will love it here!"
