Little Orchard Montessori School

"Anyone who knows me understands I don’t make decisions without fully researching all viable options. For our situation, I felt it necessary to provide a different environment than a public school setting and found Little Orchard! I had him on the waitlist at 9 months old and when he was finally 2.5 years old, he began going to his first preschool. My son is thriving in the Montessori environment and I’m so glad we found Miss Julie and her school! I highly recommend this type of learning environment that follows the child! I see how excited he gets when he learns or masters a new skill; I get to see him enjoy the large outdoor area and play with his school friends; I get to see him run, have fun but also learn from various lessons that aren’t taught in a public school setting! Had I known about Montessori years ago, my 2 adult children would have benefited from this environment as well. Children can get lost in today’s public school environment and traditional class sizes. My little one gets one-on-one attention the majority of the day since the class size is much smaller, no more than 10 children. Our experience with Miss Julie and Little Orchard has been invaluable; I can see I made the right decision from day one!"

"Best choice we ever made for our son! He improved so much on so many levels since attending Little Orchards Montessori school. Thank you so much Julie for all you are doing!"

"Both of my children have absolutely thrived here. It is the perfect combination of a home-like loving atmosphere and advanced, child-led academics. Ms. Julie is truly a blessing. Her passion and knowledge for the Montessori method nurture all of the kiddos who are lucky to be her students. My children come home tired, but not overstimulated like they do from traditional settings. They also come home dirty - having played in the sand, large yard, water features, mud kitchen, garden, etc. They also come home with healthy food in their tummies. And lastly, they come home with their little minds full of everything they have learned through play that day. My youngest is about to age out and I am so sad for them to lose this setting, but I am so thankful they got to experience their early years here. Truly invaluable."

"My daughter is thriving at Little Orchard Montessori. Highly recommend!"

"We have been really happy with our choice of sending our 3.5 year old son to this school. I feel that the school offers so many more lessons and activities than we have the ability to at home and he looks forward to going every day. Great playground outside and we couldn't ask for a better teacher to student ratio of 1:6. He gets a lot of attention and is already becoming much more independent. I would recommend this school to others."
