Testimonials
"I cannot recommend this school highly enough. The staff are all excellent, the owner has a clear vision for the school and each individual child, and all the staff are caring and have a lot of fun with the children. The kids have such a good time, yet they soak up so much knowledge. The amazing academic learning comes through stress-free play. My 4 year daughter has loved it from day 1, and she continues to astound me with her knowledge gained there, from facts about the solar system and her fast-growing Spanish vocabulary to complex math addition and multiplication - yes she is just 4!!!"

"I love that this school is tailored to the needs & abilities of my child. Preschoolers generally do not all want to do the same thing at the same time. This school allows my daughter to make her own choices in a safe learning environment. My daughter is an individual & this school treats her like one. The Montessori way of teaching makes traditional preschools seem archaic.
Absolutely the best school for preschoolers. The difference about this school vs. traditional preschools is that it allows your child to choose their own activity and complete it vs. trying to get a class of preschoolers to perform the same activity at the same time. It just isn't natural for them.
I feel so lucky to have my daughter attend this school. I didn't know much about the Montessori way of teaching, but after seeing how my 3 year old daughter engaged with the classroom activities and connected with the teachers, I was determined to have her attend. I have seen an explosion in her learning in the very first month of attending Brilliant Minds.
This school is so much calmer than traditional preschools. Allowing preschooler to choose their own activities vs. constantly conforming to group activities makes it a stress free environment. I love that my 3 year old is listening to Beethoven, doing yoga, and eating healthy snacks.
I knew this was the school for us when my daughter cried when the school tour was over. She loved the classroom activities & really connected with the teachers. I loved that Brilliant Minds was very flexible & worked with my schedule. We have seen what can only be described as an "explosion" in her learning.
I am blown away with how much my 3 year old has learned in such a short amount of time at Brilliant Minds Montessori. This school is amazing & really caters to my child's abilities. I feel very lucky to have found this school.
My friends are shocked when I tell them how much my 3 year old daughter has learned it the past 3 months. Truly impressive."

"I wanted to share a quick story with you about the girls. We had a family dinner at my mother in laws this past weekend. Everyone remarked on their language and behavior and how it has improved. My oldest spilled some of her water on the table during dinner and she quickly ran to the kitchen for a towel. She cleaned it thoroughly and put the towel away when she was finished. My in-laws were very impressed! About 20 minutes later, my youngest did the same thing (cleaning and all). We could not believe it. I have always encouraged them to clean up after themselves, but I know this comes from you and your program. They are so much more independent at home and while we are out visiting. They want to do everything (and I mean everything) on their own. To me, this is priceless. Thank you all for helping my girls become so confident and self sufficient."

"We recently moved to the area and wanted to send my 2 year old to a loving school, preferably using the Montessori method. We researched several dozen schools in the area and visited some in person. I liked the look of this one, the teachers were wonderful and the other children were happy in the environment. I ended up sending my girl there and think it was the best decision for her. She loves the school and she brings homes so much from wonderful art projects to lovely manners and habits. In Brilliant Minds Montessori everything is highly organized from the drop off to the snacks to the details of the classroom. Children learn through individual activities that are suited to their size and developmental stage. The classes function at a level of independant discipline I never thought possible in kids this age. The teachers are patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. Thank you to Meredith, the school director, and her fantastic team of educators for instilling a foundation for learning that will carry my daughter forward in her ongoing education. We look forward to our next year at Brilliant Minds Montessori!"

"Our son absolutely loves attending Brilliant Minds Montessori. It is amazing to see his how his learning and communication has flourished since he began attending the school. Each teacher is wonderful, and exhibits a level of caring and understanding of the children which helps them to be excited about every school day. The school cultivates learning, creativity, and self discipline in a way which is suited to each child. I truly believe that the teachers are helping us to empower our son to enjoy being a life-long learner from the start."
