We and our children love Little Blossom! The staff are very caring and we’re very impressed with how our little ones have grown academically. Our kindergartener just graduated and we feel she’s extremely prepared to enter 1st grade.
Little Blossom is an amazing atmosphere for our children to learn. The staff, teachers and director have all been very helpful with guiding our child’s academic successes. It’s a place where a child has many opportunities to grow socially, emotionally and academically.
Little Blossom has a very good balance for a child’s growth with all the Montessori philosophy and individual attention for the child’s needs as every child is special and they learn and grow at their own pace. I highly recommend this school.
Our daughter loves Little Blossom Montessori. She is thriving in their learning environment and her teachers provide excellent guidance and loving care. The program is very well rounded.
My son absolutely loves going to Little Blossom for preschool. We’ve noticed a huge boost in his level of independence and social skills since he started attending 3 months ago. The staff is very kind and great communicating with parents.
My son has just started his second year at Little Blossom Montessori. I couldn’t be happier with the education he’s receiving and all of the staff are experts in Montessori. The growth I’ve seen is beyond anything I could have hoped for!
Since joining Little Blossom my daughter has developed in so many ways. She is more confident and balanced and looks forward to school everyday.
