About the Business

Greater Montessori School is an authentic Montessori institution located at 8866 Columbia 100 Parkway, Columbia, Maryland. We offer a unique and enriching educational experience for children in preschool and childcare. Our curriculum focuses on nature, science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM), as well as literacy and social-emotional learning to prepare children for school readiness.
Our spacious playgrounds provide children with ample room to explore and discover nature, while in-room reading corners support early literacy skills. Peace corners are available for mindfulness and reflection, promoting better self-regulation. Specialty classes such as yoga and art are included to enhance communication and creativity.

Reviews
"I was skeptical at first because of some of the older reviews. But they have a new Director Michelle who is extremely personable and has a lot of great ideas for the school. With covid, unfortunately tours are not in person. But Miss Michelle did such an awesome virtual tour I felt like I was there. She has been extremely understanding and accommodating. You can tell she really cares for the families. I have no doubt in her leadership and caring for the children there! Excited to see what’s next!"
"We started our first child at GMS in June 2018 when she was 2 years old and she has flourished - she has learned so much over the years she has been there and the teachers really do care for the children like they are their own. Now almost 5, she gets mad if I pick her up too early because she just enjoys being at school. We started our second child there in August 2019 at 3.5 months old and she has a blast at school. She loves being around her friends and LOVES all of her teachers. The involvement, activities, curriculum, and atmosphere are exactly what we were looking for when trying to decide on childcare."
"My 2yo son has been going to this school for 4 months. He loves this place and literally shouts out asking us to take him there every morning! His teachers and other team members are responsible and caring. My wife and I both feel that my son is playing and learning a lot. They are quite willing to accommodate the parents' need whenever they can. HIGHLY recommend!"
"We enrolled our child last year from May 2016 and she loves to go to school, her ability to remember things has improved significantly and the curriculum is outstanding. We never had any issues with the teachers or the management. It has got nice space for kids to play inside as well when the weather outside is not good for playing. All the teachers were certified by Montessori and they take really good care. Ms. Hope and Ms. Martha are a great and all the kids love them. The recent addition of Yoga on Mondays made the kids so excited to go to school. We love the weekly updates from the teachers and pictures that are uploaded to the online portal and also how easy it is communicate using the portal."
"Our daughter is thriving at Greater Montessori, we love the curriculum, teachers, location and hours. We plan to enroll our second child whenever he/she arrives. The director and owner are always there to speak about any concerns or questions you may have. Sometimes when I pick my daughter up, she doesn't want to leave because she's having such a great time. I highly recommend it!"
