"Love this school and the teachers!! Montessori Children's House has provided an amazing foundation for my girls, they have flourished over the years and I couldn't be happier with their progress. The teachers have an amazing way of demanding complete control of the class while being very caring and loving. One of the things I love the most is that the children can excel at their own pace, they're not held back and they're continually encouraged to think for themselves. They also start presenting in front of the class in pre-school so imagine how easy it will be for them by the time they're in third grade. My only wish is that MCHOH went past the third because we would definitely keep our kids here as long as we could!!" - Dennell Vargas Krzyzanowski
