Best Montessori School Cary Near Me

Sarah Asby: My child has thrived at Renaissance Montessori! We switched from a traditional daycare setting to Renaissance when my son was 3. The format was completely different, and I was impressed at the independent play and learning happening in the classrooms. The "works" built up his fine motor and critical thinking skills. The fenced in backyard play area is fantastic with lots of nature to explore.But most of all, I love the staff.Miss Shyamini has been his teacher in the Children's House since he began at 3, and he is now 5 years old and in their Kindergarten program. She has seen him through the difficult stages of being a spirited 3 year old, to a 5 year old with tons of empathy and improved self control. What he has learned, virtually independently, has been a joy to see. He is comfortable with all of the staff and I pick him up every day with a smile on his face.During the Covid-19 closures, Renaissance made great efforts to provide work and virtual time for our son while we were on lockdown. When they opened back up in June for summer camp, I was thrilled with the precautions they were taking. As an immune-compromised individual, it was a very difficult decision to open our bubble up to schooling. But for the mental health of all of us, the benefits outweighed the risk, and the choice was made easier by the procedures Renaissance Montessori has put in place to keep the kids and staff safe.I love their flexibility with schedule (you can select a combination of days and times up to full week and full time with after care) and they've been able to cover unexpected overtime for us when an unexpected event has kept us from picking our son up on time.I highly recommend Renaissance Montessori.

Adam S: I absolutely LOVE this school. What a magical place for kids to learn and grow. We did NOT want to take our kids to a humongous childcare facility, and we are so lucky to have found this little gem. My children are getting deep cross-cultural exposure and diverse Montessori instruction. The staff is amazing and communication is top notch. This school is a must see.

Devarajan Varadarajan: This Montessori is a great early childhood education in this area. People are great, responsive and friendly. My kid was in a preschool which was similar to day care education. This was her first Montessori education and we have seen her improvement in social skills like waiting for her turn, learning to do things on her own. Power of Montessori for a decent price. I have already referred to one of my friend and would definitely refer more friends as well. Keep up the good work!

Jennifer Simoni: This is a great Montessori school! My older kids are envious of their younger sibling because they wish they went to this school. The teachers are kind and wonderful. There is great structure for the children to learn in. The director is easy to communicate and deal with.

Patricia Turner: We love Renaissance so very much! My son started here in Mrs. Rah's class when he turned 3, and in the last year since he started he has really improved on his social skills as well as learning a lot academically. The teachers and staff here are phenomenal! The school itself is clean and beautiful. Montessori is the way to go with education, and we feel really lucky to have our son attend here!

Bronce McClain: We've had a very positive experience w/ Renaissance. Our son immediately became more independent and confident after we started.

Annah Lee: Wonderful community of teachers, parents and kids. My son has thrived at Renaissance for the last several years and I am so grateful for the experience. The administration is top notch and the location of the school is great!

Rachel Kincaid: I love how a native Spanish speaker is in every classroom with the intent of delivering the language during real activities. Both of my children are thriving here!

Jian Gao: My daughter has been with Ms. Charlotte's classroom for about a year. She loves all her teachers and friends. She is getting good art and music educations as she is taking home something new everyday. Renaissance has a family feeling, small and warm, and everyone is very nice to talk to.

Paul Stanley: Renaissance Montessori is excellent -- small, friendly, and reasonably priced. My two year-old daughter began attending in 2017, and my son attended from ages 4-5 during 2013-2014. There was of course some staff turnover during our hiatus between children, but the atmosphere has stayed the same, some familiar faces are still around, and the new folks are great too. We're very happy with both the teachers and the administrative staff.All of the classrooms, even the toddler rooms, follow Montessori guidelines for play and learning, and help teach life skills and independence.Highly recommended.

Evan Wimpey: Our 2 year old son enrolled here and has absolutely loved it! This is his first care outside the home, and he was a little bit slow to open up. Ms Minu and Ms Raisa have been phenomenal, getting him to engage in the the 'work' and he has shown so much development. Every day when I pick him up, he is so excited to talk about his day and all the things he is learning. The staff has been so great about communicating everything that happens, and any concerns they have. Our son loves the school, and we are confident it is a great place for him!

Laura Call: We love the Nido room for our one-year-old! Miss Tricia and Miss Susan provide a calm, warm, and caring environment in which our child has thrived. Our child really enjoys the music and arts added to his traditional Montessori education. He gets lots of time outdoors with other children his age and personal attention indoors with his teachers reading to him and helping him learn to do the puzzles and play games. The environment is relaxing and leaves children a lot of room for imagination--no loud toys or cluttered spaces. We've really enjoyed the classroom's flexibility with our schedule and sincere care for our child's best interest. He is always happy to go to school and we feel confident leaving him with his wonderful teachers!

monti lawrence: My family relocated to NC toward the end of the school year and found an opening at Renaissance for my 5 year old son. Within two weeks of his being there, we were told that my son was behind and needed to remain at the school for another year (he had already had 2.5 years of preschool). We had always received positive feedback from his former preschool teacher, so this was a shock. My son has always loved school, but quickly began crying and not wanting to attend Renaissance, leading us to wonder how they were making him feel in terms of his abilities. Note that all communication was from the school's office manager, not his teacher.When we firmly said we were only finishing out the year, I was told they assumed we'd be there for the following school year and that they'd have to consider whether we could continue at the school. After careful discussion, we decided to pull our son out of the school after 3.5 weeks of attendance. The office manager quickly backpedaled, saying she had never told me my son was behind and that they were "only concerned about so many changes for him" This from the same person who said he may not be able to continue if we didn't stay an extra year.We were still billed for the "new child fee" and the "snack fee" even though my son attended for less than three weeks. They did reduce the amount owed, but it was not at all pro-rated for just the month my son was there.This school cares more about your money than your child. Beware.

Tonja Cutler: My son became part of the Renaissance family to help acclimate him the year before he started public Kindergarten. I can't say enough good things about what a most awesome decision this was on our part. I felt extremely comfortable with his social development and academically - he still blows the other kids out of the water. He went into Kindergarten reading well, not just being able to count past 100, but he was already doing math problems. He is now half way through his first grade year in public school and he goes back to Renaissance during track out. It is a wonderful community of staff and parents. The facility is an encouraging and enriching environment. Overall, being a part of the Renaissance Montessori Family is one of the best decisions we made for our son.

Adrienne Rombach: My son was 3 when he started at Renaissance Montessori... he was shy and cuddly and had never been to a 'big kid school' before. We had him with a nanny up until this point. During his last year at the school he has opened up and now loves to talk with people. In fact is pretty much talks, hums, sings, or makes some kind of noise all the time. He loves to tell me about all of his work from the day and re-iterates stories about what happened in the classroom. I have seen his physical abilities and fine motor skills expand and grow strong. He sings me songs about all different topics and tells me stories about math and reading. I am watching him grow strong and confident in his abilities every week. The teachers are all extremely attuned to the children and listen and respond when there is a question or a need. Each child can work at their own pace and find things that interest them in every activity. I would highly recommend Renaissance to anyone who has a child that is just learning about the world around them. The staff, teachers, and community will help them grown and understand with out fear of the unknown or make them struggle to understand.

Ada Lopez: This is my son’s second year at Renaissance Montessori and we are very pleased with education and care he receives. This school is committed to building a sense of community for students, families, and staff. The staff is warm, friendly, and inviting. Parental involvement is strongly encouraged and families are always welcomed. Renaissance has a strong curriculum which includes: pre-reading and writing, math, science, Spanish, music, geography, life skills, and social interaction. Courtesy is taught and continuously reinforced. Students learn core subjects through hand-on activities. They are introduced to concepts in various ways to ensure learning. Teachers are great about communicating what is happening in the classroom and hold regular conferences to discuss your child’s progress. Our experience at Renaissance has been excellent!

Lauri Robbins: My son has been attending Renaissance for almost 2 years now. It is fantastic place for a little person. He immediately responded to the warm and nurturing learning environment. The staff is always available to talk and encourages parental involvement.The school is very focused on building a strong community and eagerly seeks out parental feedback. They encourage children to challenge their comfort zones, in a respectful and compassionate manner. My son continues to blossom as he grows - I feel blessed to have found such a wonderful school that continues to respond the the new and different challenges each year brings!Renaissance is not a day care - it is the first step in a lifelong journey of civic responsibility and love of learning!

Lauren Sweetman: Triangle Montessori is an incredible school. My son has been going for two years, and I have only had positive experiences. The teachers are kind, courteous, and the most patient, gentle people I've ever met. The classrooms are calm, but the students are learning through play. It's incredible to see 2-3 year olds engaged in their "work." The toddler classrooms bake bread every morning, the school is a nature sanctuary, and there are vegetable gardens so the kids can see the life cycles of plants. The primary school classrooms build on the skills the toddlers learned. Grace and courtesy are the foundational tenets of the classroom, and children are gently taught how to express emotion, problem solve, and work together. My son's classroom takes a ship to different continents to explore the world, and he comes home telling me about the new places he's explored through crafts, music, stories, and language. He's learning (and teaching us!) sign language, Spanish, and new songs. The primary school teachers have a knack for using the childrens' interests to help them learn what they need for kindergarten readiness while keeping the children engaged and focused. The administrative staff are wonderful - quick to respond, willing to work with the families, and kind. It's a magical place, and I can't praise it enough.

Helen Winslow: Our daughter loves TMA! The teachers are wonderful and really care about the students.

Matt Biagiotti: The very best teachers and they truly care about the children. Highly recommended!

yiran xiong: My daughter went to TMA about 1 year. We moved to California last year. She likes TMA! Teachers are so nice, she still miss them sometimes.

Natasha Pancholi-Khatod: I looked at many preschools and had extremely high standards for loving my children and instilling a love for learning with my children. I wanted them to grow confident and kind. TMA is the ONLY one that I felt met my standards in the area. This is not the school where brick and mortar and frills and bells and whistles matter, this is substance over style. They don't need to show off their facilities because their biggest asset are their teachers and their program. This is an EXCEPTIONAL school, and the teachers and founder are passionate about their kids and what they do. Their curriculum is common sense best of Montessori, they have a wonderful program in place, and the quality of families they attract is educated and sensible. They are the most diverse community, experienced, loving, caring, and nurturing school, and having moved to many states and we are an international family, I have found NOTHING that compares or matches the highest standard - they are really good at what they do, they are extremely humble and down to earth, and they love our kids like their own. I couldn't be more proud and more grateful for their partnership and trust them with my child's well being whole heartedly. Our biggest sadness was leaving this school when we moved to the West Coast, because they were our family and our support system, so that says it all!

료마: My son came from south korea 3month ago , We worried first culture of USA, But He really like this place and teacher. We satisfied this school ! Great ^^

Ann Hsu: Our daughter started going to TMA for almost a year now. I remember when we first tour the school she ran into one of the older kid's classroom and wanted to play. The kid not only opened up a space for her and was showing her how to play. That was a deciding moment for us. Almost a year past she went from a shy and timid kid to a confident and self sufficient child. The teachers knows her personality almost as well as we do. That is so important to us, teachers who cares. Thank you

조수연: My 3years old son looks happy everyday here. Teachers are so nice and the place is great. Thank you so much.

Jilene Hope-Spencer: The development I've seen in my daughter over the past 5 months is mind blowing. The teachers come to meet every child at the door upon arrival in the morning which eased the separation process. What my husband and I especially appreciate is the way the teachers intergrate the parents into fun activities so we are all able to take part. The school maintains a beautiful garden and teaches the children how to germinate seedlings and plant them. The final product results in small tastings for the children which they all love. As a first time mom I was worried about leaving my child at school so I stayed to look through the window. My heart melted when I saw Ms. Stacy and Ms. Rita tending not only to my child but they somehow give so much love to all children in the classroom.The owners; Judit and Matt can always be seen filling in and making improvements. They are very mindful of the experiences each child has on a daily basis. Their involvement is phenomenal.Each of their children were educated via the Montessori method and they are spectacular to say the very least. Their method is tried and true.I am very happy with my experience thus far. So much so I am preparing lunch for the teachers as I type this to provide a genuine gesture of gratitude for the care and education they give my child everyday. They have made me a better parent!!

Ray Tseng: It's what you're looking for! Our son started at TMA and has been there now for 3 years coming up this June. We've looked at MSR, Heartwood, Kingswood, Raleigh School and many other montessori and traditional pre-school options when we started, and we chose TMA for several reasons. The teachers are trained, certified, and keep up to date with professional development. The principal believes in regular CE and training, and that helps keep the curriculum up to date, with fresh ideas circulating in. Our son has been with nearly all the teachers there, and they have all been compassionate and nurturing, helping him to develop into a great young man. They understand and heavily incorporate the montessori teaching philosophy into all their activities, and it shows in their projects and work that are displayed at the school. Tuition is competitive with other schools in the same category, and they offer before/after care, extra activities/classes on a pay per activity basis. The school is smaller than Heartwood, which is what we were looking for.At the end of the day, other schools had pretty stuff, and pretty facilities, but when we delved further with questions, they just didn't execute as well as TMA did. I care more about the personal interactions and attention that my son gets on a daily basis, and I'll trade pretty buildings and big playgrounds in for a collection of great teachers who are dedicated to what they do, have the versatility to work with children at all skill levels, and take the initiative to meet children where they are, and push them to be better. I believe we could not have picked a better place for our son to grow up in.

Diana Rodriguez: Wonderful experience! This school is very special to our family; best preschool by far. Our kids received an exceptional education by a well prepared group of experienced teachers. It is a safe and caring place were you can see kids happy and eager to learn. You can tell teachers really care about their students and take care of their education with love and respect. We are grateful for our experience and definitely recommend this school.

Aliya Gard: We have sent our children to TMA now for 2+ years and couldn't be happier. Our oldest, now almost 4 started when he was 18th months in the Toddler program and has enjoyed every day. His teachers are all AMS certified and AMAZING! Top notch. Our youngest has just started the Toddler program at 2yo. Since we've attended, the director is consistently making improvements to the play areas, the edible/interactive gardens and room supplies. There's no shortage of before school or afterschool activities for parents who work later than 2pm - our oldest just started Karate and loves it! Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a quality Montessori education for their children with great facilities, teachers, staff and director!

Natalie B: My son attended TMA for 1 year before kindergarten and they did an exceptional job with him. By the time he left, he was reading at the 1st grade level and was already being introduced to multiplication. I loved the fact they didn't teach to the masses, but they focused on the individual. Thank you for everything you did!!!!

Lisa Augustson: This is the absolute best school I have ever experienced in my 7 years of looking for preschools . I feel like My child has grown and developed because of the facilitation of her skills with focus on courtesy and grace. She is able to communicate and identify her feelings because of the teacher's kind examples.The Directress Judit is so wonderful and experienced and her passion for the children shows in how she runs the school. I will recommend this school to everyone I know for as long as I can. I will never my forget my childs experience at TMA.

Chaitanya Jampala: I started looking for preschool for my son in 2014, when he is 4 years old, who was at home day care or home with my mom and has never been out and our experience with All Starz was miserable.After a months miserable experience at All Starz, we pulled him out and tried Paramount Montessori after the good reviews from my friend.The transition was smooth, it took a while but Kaushiki helped Ishanth get adjust to the school Env and slowly he started getting used and started liking the school.I am very particular about sending home made lunch and it is only possible here and the curriculum is very flexible to shift between half day to full day.He never spoke English and I was worried about it and that worked out well, he picked up English started to read small books and write small sentences before going to Kindergarten.I was amazed on how much he picked in Paramount in one year.I started my second son to paramount without a second thought for 2 years and now he is ready to go to kindergarten.Teachers are wonderful andlove everything about this school.I am totally satisfied and would recommend to my friends.

Vivek Baxy: Paramount Montessori is really an nice school. Educational level is reaaly nice. My son is going there for a year now. He loves all his teacher and friends. Kudos to miss Kaushiki and her team.

Umadevi P: We could not be happier with this school. Our daughter started in her Montessori here in 2016 and settled in immediately. She loves going to school every day and is excelling academically and socially, exceeding our wildest expectations. All the staff we have had contact with are friendly and conscientious. The owner Kaushiki Biswas is very understanding & positive. The learning activities are wonderfully varied and, by all accounts, great fun. The school has impressive daily activities like Spanish, music which is helping in her overall growth. If you are looking for a good/ individual attention/ care look no beyond than Paramount Montessori!

hyma venati: My daughter has been attending Paramount Montessori for the past 18 months. She enjoys going to the school and loves the teachers working there. She used to be a very clingy child, so we were bit worried to send her to school, but to our surprise starting day 1, she never refused to go to school. In fact, she is one of those kids who wants to go to Paramount even on weekends. We have seen a significant change in her learning abilities and also her general behavior since she started here. My daughter has been taught the importance of being independent, besides being exposed to academics.The other thing is, timings are flexible. This is not one of those preschools where the kid has to be at school on time if not they get a tardy. Once they start Kindergarten, for next several years they don’t have an option except for being on time. As long as they are in preschool, I think they need this flexibility. Coming to teachers, each and every one of them are so nice and have lot of patience. They have that big smile on their face when we drop the kids in the morning which doesn’t change even when we pick them up.Overall it has been a very joyful experience for her as well as for us. I would recommend parents to enroll their children at Paramount Montessori.

Vivian Ette: I have had very pleasant experiences with this school. My son first went here, had good experiences, graduated to elementary school and I was encouraged to enroll my daughter also. Mrs Biswas is kind, understanding and patient to say the least. Teachers greet you with a smile and are gentle with the children. They have a great curriculum, Math, Phonics, Spanish, Sensorial, lessons with daily reinforcement. My daughter's awareness and language has improved tremendously. She is happy to go to school. My daughter has been here a year and when I ask how was school, her response is always "School is cool".

Preetha: A great find for us. Wish we had known about Paramount Montessori sooner. Paramount Montessori offers exactly what you need for Pre-school and Pre-k age kids. Our Son transitioned from another popular pre-school in the area almost a year ago. We now send healthy lunch from home :-). Very accommodative and understanding management. My son loves the teachers, especially Miss. Naida is extremely polite and kind. Great job Miss. K.

Saritha Koneti: My daughter is in this school since 8 Months , initially I was confused whether this is the right preschool or not because I had bad experience in previous preschools and now Am very glad that we got fantastic teacher like Kaushiki, She knows well how to train and tackle preschool kids. I have seen my daughter learned so much these 8 months and very excited to learn new things each day. I am very much impressed with the curriculum and the way staff interacting with the kids. They are offering good educational program for preschool kids with reasonable tuition fee. I would recommend every preschool kid to join here to make them ready for Kinder garden. I wish Kaushiki and the wonderfull staff all the very best and continue to grow.

Prasanna Premkumar: Paramount Montessori is the BEST. My son is very happy and likes the school a lot. He joined paramount Montessori 7 months ago and I can see how much he has learnt at school.The teachers a very good and the teaching curriculum is great.Miss.K sends emails, keeping you informed. Also the tuition fee at Paramount Montessori is very reasonable.We are very happy that we found this school and I recommend anyone looking for pre-school program to go to Paramount Montessori because you will be happy to know that your child is in good hands.

Nimesh Nagar: My daughter goes to this preschool from last 2 years. From teachers to study curriculum to facilities to ambiance....we are totally happy & satisfied.My daughter loves her school so much that many days she doesn't want to come home or ...want to go school even during the weekends :)100% recommended!

Ammu Prethesh: Love the teachers, teaching and the reasonable Tuition fees. I feel my daughter is in good hands when she's there. My daughter loves being a part of the school and enjoys learning in the montessori way. One more plus point is that they warm the lunch for kids which defintely helps me packa variety of foods for my daughter.

Raju Penumatcha: When we started looking for a school, we were very apprehensive of the new school that just opened nearby. Our confidence in the school started the very first day, when the owner - Kaushiki took time to explain how the Montessori system works. Kids were very comfortable with the pace and the organized surroundings and our apprehension of investing the kids future in a new school began to fade with each week/month. We were at ease knowing that the kids were in the right environment with the right teachers to guide them through the development phase. The kids had fun while learning in this system.As the Kids are going to School this year, I wish the best to the school and thank the teachers/management for taking good care of my Kids and preparing them for the future.

sangeetha rajagopalan: We have been sending our daughter for the last 1.5 years and she loves it. We are happy that we found this school managed by Ms.Kaushiki. Our daughter has a wonderful experience going to this school, and learning different topics on math, english , nature , etc. Although , our daughter will be entering kindergarten this year, we can confidently say, she is probably ready for 1st grade.Thanks to all the staff at Paramount Montessori, who are very kind and take great care of the children there.We wish the best for this school and hope it continues to grow

Pinal S: My daughter has been attending this school for about 2 years now and she loves it. After few experiences in other schools, we can say that this is one of the best schools in the area. We were very pleased with the environment and teaching skills that are present at this school. The Montessori environment was keen for us and I can say that at this school this concept has taught my daughter a great deal. The teachers are great and give plenty of one on one attention to the children. They are also very friendly and are always willing to listen to the parents and children.The owner/head teacher Ms. K is perfect in every way, she shows compassion towards the children but also disciplines and teaches them right from wrong. She and other teachers for example teach them math, reading, and life skills. The school has different activities for different days, for example one of the days they will learn Spanish, another day it would be about Music etc.I have seen my daughter grow in positive way since she started attending this school and I know that she is prepared for Kindergarten and will exceed due to all the positive things she has learned at this school. We will certainly miss all the teachers and Ms. K!! This school has many things to offer and I would recommend this school to all the parents. I hope the best for this school and hope they continue to grow in the coming years.

Roopa Salagundi: We are glad that our kids attends Paramount Montessori and after many experiences in other schools they are finally really happy and loves the school. Teachers are very warm ,caring and child –centered environment . It is pleasure to drop them off each morning knowing how well they will be looked after.I would recommend the school to any parent and hope they can continue for many years to come.

Swati Muley: My 4 yr old has been going to Paramount since last year. I have had a great experience with the school. The teachers are very nice and the head teacher, Ms. Kaushiki or Ms. K as she is fondly referred to by the kids is a perfect balance of TLC and discipline. I have seen many positive changes in my child since the time he started going to this school. The student teacher ratio is good and they have a well-rounded & structured day for the kids.I had a great experience with Montessori environment with my older one and thus was keen on giving the same for my younger child. And I am glad to say that I found it in Paramount. The reasonable tuition is an added plus. I am sure when my kid goes to Kindergarten next year, he will be well prepared to take on that challenge, thanks to the wonderful teachers and Paramount. I give them 2 thumbs up!!

Nishant Dholakia: My son goes to this school and he loves it. The teachers are wonderful and they have a good balance of play and learn. The entire setup looks very well organized and children are given plenty of individual attention. Our son has had a great experience and looks forward to learning new things on a daily basis which says a lot about the way the kids are taught language, math and other life skills.The teachers have always been cooperative and friendly, the owner takes an active part in managing this wonderful school and that definitely helps.

Darshana Mahathanthila: My daughter absolutely loved going to Origins Montessori. There wasn't a single day that she refused to go to school. Miss Buddhini and her staff is very loving and compassionate. Their curriculum includes hands-on activities which connects your kids with nature through montessori approach, which is phenomenal. Kids get to explore wide range of musical instruments during their music time which my daughter loved the most.It was amazing to see how my daughter's social and academic skills improved drastically during her time with OMS. Miss Buddhini never fails to make special days extra special and memorable for kids and their families. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Origins Montessori School. Thanks you Miss Buddhini, Miss Prishanthi and the team for making my daughter's preschool life a memorable and a special one!

Cecilia McGowen-Dove: I highly recommend Origins Montessori School(OMS). Ms Buddhini’s and her staff areA-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! If you want your child/children to learn, grow and be confident… and ready for kindergarten…bring your child here! I sincerely appreciate all that the OMS staff has done to prepare my daughter for LIFE. Best practices she learned at OMS she still uses now in 2nd grade. You won’t be disappointed!! Great investment into your child’s early learning.

Aditya Sandu: My son loves going to Origins. We have seen lot of positive changes in our son after attending this pre-school.

Dolly Tejas Desai: My son had a great time at this school. The teachers here are super caring,loving and they have a great curriculum. Ms.Budhini is an amazing person. She helped me a lot in taking care of my son in my times of need.

samantha king: My 3 year old son LOVES his time here at Origins. He has been going here for almost a year now and talks nonstop about all of his friends and his teachers! Ms. Anna and Ms. Buddhinni are so great, you can tell they truly care about the well being of the children. My son learned so much so fast from the moment we enrolled him. And he continues to learn. They're not just "babysitting" your child, they're engaging and nurturing and it shows! I highly recommend this school for anyone that wants their child to prosper and prepare for other educational milestones. Absolutely 10+ stars!

Susan Hwang: My almost 4 year old son has been with Origins for only a week and is thriving. He was previously enrolled elsewhere, and had to be withdrawn as it was not a good fit. He enjoys going back to Origins, loves his teachers, and tells them he will miss them at pick up 3. Only a week, and he's more confident speaking and in improved complete sentences. My 6 year old daughter also attended for a day during her kindergarten asynchronous period, and she had nothing but great things to say about her busy day at Origins. So lucky to have come across a kind, responsible and well established team of teachers.

E. T.: We LOVE Origins. We started during COVID pandemic and feel comfortable with the very small class and attention to cleanliness. We especially love that there is a sink in the play area where children can wash their hands with soap and water. We also love the outdoor space and fresh air the kids get during the day. Our son enjoys the hands-on activies. We highly recommend this school to other families.

Panchima Jayarathna: We enrolled our 4 years old daughter to the virtual classroom of Origins and it has been a great experience for her! Miss Dipti is doing a fantastic job with the kids to keep these preschoolers engaged in the sessions and we see a lot of improvement in her in terms of academics and social interactions. Keep up the good work !

Nihar Topkar: We just joined here for assisted virtual learning for my 1st grader. This has been a great experience for us so far.

MN Mukidi: OMS is one happy place for my son. Ms. Buddhini and the Teachers are great. The most relieving part is they treat your child with care and patience. Love this school ❤️

Jessica Caswell: Origins Montessori School has been the best thing our family has found for our children. My daughter has attended the school for the last 2 years and the amount that she has grown and learned from there is amazing! My son is not quite old enough to start there yet, but he will attend as well as soon as we can get him enrolled! Mrs. Buddhini is amazing and truly cares about the education of all of our children and it shows with everything she does and how she speaks of the children. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this school to anyone who wants their children to have a great start to their education!

priyanka medida: Miss Buddhini and Miss Prishanthi and the rest of the team are very gentle and kind to all the kids. OMS is a a very organic place to expose our kids in the early stages. My son went to OMS for more than a year now and he finds it as another home. For relocation purpose, we had to shift him to another state and we realize how different OMS was and how much we miss the warmth from the faculty. OMS has a bright future and it is definitley going to grow big. Good luck

Andrea Cook: Origins Montessori School and the teachers are absolutely wonderful! Both of my children attend and love it! Ms. Buddhini, the founder, has been teaching my son for 4 years and he adores her. The classrooms are colorful with lots of natural sunlight! It’s a very fun learning environment, where the children can explore and be creative. OMS offers many “extras” such as gymnastics, art, and music, just to name a few. My kids are not only excited to go to school to see their friends, but are also excited about the new things they get to learn. My son will start kindergarten in fall already knowing sight words/reading and simple math problems. We love OMS and the dedication they have for our children!

Christopher Smith: Origins Montessori has been an incredible find for our family. My daughter has grown and developed at an incredible pace thanks to the loving care and guidance provided by the teachers at Origins. The children are free to explore the different learning activities at their own pace; get the chance to play outside on the playground or riding the tricycles; work on craft projects; learn about things like the solar system, dinosaurs, and butterflies; experience extra curricular activities like dance, soccer, and learning other languages. I cannot say enough positive things about this school and the teachers there. They are amazing people who do an incredible things to prepare children for the next step in their lives.

Nagini Akkinepalli: Very Great preschool, my girl was with Miss budhini for 2 years , she really enjoyed her time with teachers, very caring and helping teachers, Budhini is very kind and professional.

Sowji Rajoori: My son has joined OMS when he was 2 and for the past 1 year I have seen him enjoying this place and teachers. I really love the teachers, place , their activities, event celebrations and every bit they offer. Teachers work hard to give the best to the kids. I'm glad I found this awesome place for my kid.

Game Alice: My daughter had a great time in the Orgins Montessori School. Mrs Buddhini and the other teachers are so careful and patient,they took good care of my daughter.They taught my daughter eating and wearing shoes by herself and helped her got ride of diaper!Helped my daughter built a healthy schedule!Kids there are so nice!I do appreciate for everything there!

Jinesh Shah: It’s been 5+ months now for my daughter who is 3+ and we have seen good improvements in her. Earlier she never used to speak much at home and in school too she used to just poke teachers if she needed anything. Now, she speaks words, sentences and also count numbers from 1 to 25 on her own though missing couple in between in a cute way. Also for her Sunday does not come second time in next week but it comes once for sure in entire one week :-). Happy to see Ms. Buddhini and Ms. Deepti taking very good care of her in case at times she cries for her mimmy. In my personal opinion, this school is at par with all other professional schools in Morrisville in terms of events, education, child care and also professional yet friendly and polite behavior towards both parents and kids. There are lot of activities I have seen this school conducts. Though it's been new, it would be our parents responsibility to give some time to this school and staff to grow and I am sure we will see lot many improvements in terms of child focus etc. .. From Happy Parents :-)

niti parikh: We were a lucky to have found Origins Montessori School. My son has been going to OMS since January. My son learns lotnew things around(counting, drawing, decipline). Ms Buddhini and all teachers(Ms dipti and Ms Prishti) are knowledgeableand understanding , caring.We have all positive experience for OMS. We would definitely recommend this school for good care and learn.

sathish sundararajan: My daughter has been going to OMS since January. She usually gets along well with adults but not with kids. Now, she is slowly getting along with other kids. Buddhini has been helping our daughter wherever she needs improvement(academics, communication, etc). They take care of her really well. Overall, i would recommend this school to anyone looking for good care and learning!

Kevin Schroeder: An absolutely wonderful school with dedicated and caring teachers who always have the children's best interests in mind. Our children are excited to go to school everyday and are building meaningful relationships and new skills all the time. Can't recommend enough.

Everette Winslow: My little guy has been there since he was months old, and I have had the pleasure of observing the growth of not only him, but his classmates as well. I can say without a doubt that CDM offers an engaging and nurturing environment where each child is encouraged to thrive using his or her unique skillset. I can also attest to the fact that his social, spatial, and cognitive skills are well above the mark, and CDM has definitely played a large part in his development. On a personal note, it is wonderful to have a kid who doesn't use plastic (cups or plates) at home, can clean up behind himself, understands being gracious, and fully understands the concepts of cause and effect. I attribute some of this to the folks at CDM. The first day he came home as a two-year old and pushed his chair in after a snack, I was floored. Update: He will be going to kindergarten in the fall, and I am happy to report that he surprised us by reading a book to us during our daily breakfast book ritual. He even threw in a bit of voice acting!

Rebecca Kuhns: CDMS is a best kept secret. The type of preschool that every parent dreams of (and it's full-day!).

Liz Jacob: My daughter attended Country Day Montessori from 2013 to 2015, and we have had a very good experience with the teachers, the director, and the other families sending their kids to the school. A close knit school community, where my daughter received ample attention and care. I highly recommend the place.

J.J. Meidl: Our daughter has just started her second year here at CDMS. We cannot rave enough about the engagement of the staff and professionalism of everyone involved in caring for our daughter. CDMS provides an engaging environment for all kids to thrive in.We love the experience our little one has been given, and we would highly recommend CDMS as a place to consider for your children.

Lindsey Dougherty: I am so thankful that we found this school for my son! He has attended for the last 2+ years and continues to develop and mature into a wonderful little boy. He enjoys his friends, teachers, and the administrative staff that makes it such a great place to go each day.... He is really given the space to learn new skills and be independent through the different work areas in class, he is able 'to just be a kid' by spending a lot of time outside, and is given consistent and patient guidance throughout the weekdays, by his teachers. Glad to have happened across this school and am also so thankful that he can spend his infant, toddler, and preschool years in one place, building relationships that will hopefully last for much longer.

R Marks: Best of the best! I cannot say enough fantastic things about Country Day Montessori School. A wonderful Director and an incredible staff make CDMS an extra-special place for both children and parents. My daughter has been enrolled for a more than a year now and she *still* looks forward to going to school each day. She loves seeing her teachers and classmates, and I love that the CDMS staff and cirriculum have instilled a life-long love of learning in her. Everyday she becomes more and more inquisitive about the world around her!! As a parent, I feel so fortunate to have found such a loving, nuturing and supportive school. I highly recommend CDMS!

Josey Snyder: We love MCLS! The teachers are wonderful. It feels like being part of a family. And my kids have learned so much! Couldn't be happier.

R K: Our family considered a number of Montessori programs for our son this year and truly believe that we discovered an absolute treasure at Montessori Creative Learning School! Not only is the Director, Ms. Pegge, incredibly engaging and intentional in her time in the classroom and oversight of the programming, but the entire teaching staff is loving, responsive, and purposeful in all they do. We have felt sincerely welcomed and warmly embraced from our very first tour forward.The wonderful teachers nurture not only our son’s process of learning, but our son himself. We love the collaboration we see in the learning process and that our little guy is growing in his awe of the world around him. He is constantly telling us all about the topics he’s studying and is excited to show us the works he completes daily. He is developing authentic friendships and is growing in compassion for those around him. It has been a blessing to see him blossom this year. The only regret we have is that we didn’t find the school sooner so that our older sons could have benefitted from this wonderful experience. We would absolutely give Montessori Creative Learning School ten stars if that was an option!

Linh Nguyen: This school is amazing, headed by the wonderful Pegge John, and with the help of several amazing teachers, this is where you want your child to be. An interest in education and learning starts young and with Montessori Creative Learning you will definitely get that. It's a wonderful foundation and stepping stone to get your young ones prepare to head into Elementary School. I so wish this school could be 1st through 8th grade!!!!! My kids love it and has grown leaps and bound here.

K C: I highly recommend touring this school and seeing for yourself how wonderful of a school this is. When you walk in you will see how immaculate it is, how friendly the teachers are but most of all how happy and engaged the children are! My son has been a student of Miss Pegges for the past three years and we have nothing but rave reviews to provide. Miss Pegge has the most patient, calming demeanor that the children just gravitate towards. My son has thrived under her instruction and we couldn't be more pleased. He loves going to school everyday and we love knowing that he is in great hands!

Nick Covey: I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Pegge, she's great!

Sherisse Marion: We moved to Apex because of Peace Montessori, for our daughter, who was struggling in the public school system. This is our first year and it’s been wonderful so far. This is also the first time we’ve ever gone the montessori route of education. We love the child-centered educational approach. Our daughter is thriving, loves school and is beyond happy in her new environment. The teachers are wonderful and she has made some very sweet friends. Feels like a family to us.

Teresa Michelle: I began my quest to find a Montessori school for my daughter several years ago. Upon visiting many Montessori schools in the Cary/Apex area, I stumbled upon Peace Montessori. Peace is run by an owner, Sharon, who truly embraces the Montessori approach and supports her teachers by giving them the resources they need to help children thrive both inside and outside the classroom. My daughter is thriving at Peace with the help from her passionate teachers. She comes home and talks about the science experiments they're doing in class, the upcoming International holidays, and the different continents of the world. She especially loves the extracurricular visitors whom Sharon has incorporated into the students' monthly schedule. These include Spanish lessons, Yoga instruction and animal/life science instruction.As a former teacher, I have high standards and Peace exceeds my expectations. I'm happy to share that my daughter (age 4) is making meaningful relationships with her peers and teachers. In addition, my twins, whom are enrolled in the Toddler Program, have made remarkable progress...from language development to social interactions...I couldn't be more pleased with their progress. Once again, though, the credit is due to the passionate teachers who help make this possible and, for that, I'm thankful for all that Peace Montessori has done to help my children thrive during the most important developmental years of their life.

Melanie H: Peace Montessori is a wonderful school. My son looks forward to going to school everyday and loves all his teachers. He really enjoys the learning style and has something new to share with me every time he comes home. His little brother will be attending next school year and I know he will enjoy it just as much. Fantastic curriculum and staff, I highly recommend!

Thomas Rasmussen: We really appreciated how Peace Montessori has welcomed our child and helped him through his first years in pre-school. He didn't speak any English when we first moved here from Europe, but the teachers have really helped him to integrate and feel comfortable with all the other kids.

Joshua Franklin: Peace Montessori has been a great choice for our child. He started with 6-8 and is about to move up to the upper elementary. He loves the school, and is still enthusiastic about learning. He regularly comes home to wants to show us what he did in class. His teachers have been great in making sure we know what is going on with him in class, both the good and issues that need to be addressed.

Luis Molinet: Coming from a foreign country is difficult to adapt to a new culture, however when we discovered Peace Montessori we felt it like our own home. Our son every day is welcomed with smiles, with a clear daily work routine, with an environment full of peace and happiness that can be viewed and felt every day. We see our son developing, achieving work in silence, challenging himself every day, being independent, but overall we see a happy child that loves his teachers, his classmates and his preschool.Definitely his second home.

Amy Garbade: Our son started at Peace Montessori this year in one of the primary classrooms. We are very happy with his teachers and the individual care and instruction they give him. He is thriving, and we couldn't be happier.

Renu Lal: My older 2 children attended Peace Montessori from age 2 and they were more than ready for Elementary School! Now my youngest is in the Children's classroom and absolutely loves it. The teachers, curriculum, and learning style are all wonderful!

Dave Hofberg: My youngest is in his final year at Peace and we are all going to miss the school, as it's been a constant in our lives for the past 6 years. Their teachers have been great and the school has always provided the support and communication we needed as parents.

Sumit P: Our daughter joined the toddler classroom this year at Peace and we couldn't be any happier ! It is simply a great environment for kids to develop, learn and above all, be happy. Both Lori and Malti are simply great with the kids and our daughter just loves to be there...

T Tanis: This is our daughter's second year at Peace Montessori. She was getting lost in the system in public school so we sought out a school that would meet her individual needs. The choices in Wake County are many, but can be overwhelming. After meeting with the staff, we gave Peace a try. The experience for our daughter has been life changing. She is excited to learn and feels comfortable with her classmates and teachers. We are so thankful for the caring and positive approach taken by the staff. We feel that our daughter is not only learning her academics, but also life lessons that she will carry with her for years to come.

Patrick Louka: Our daughter has loved it and the teachers are wonderful!

Danielle Ward: Update 11/2015: My children continue to thrive at Peace Montessori. My son attended our local public school for kindergarten, but we decided to make a switch back to the elementary program at Peace for the remainder of elementary school. The director was very helpful and supportive with this transition. He couldn't be any happier. His teachers are absolutely amazing and have created a classroom where the kids are really able to shine. He is engaged with his classwork, loves to share the new things he is learning with us & is challenged each day. He is gaining an appreciation for the diversity of the world, and learning what it is to be a part of a community.My daughter absolutely loves her class in Children's House, and has learned an incredible amount in her time there. She is on the cusp of reading and is exploring early math. The children are able to explore what interests them in a supportive and nurturing environment.We feel very lucky to have found Peace Montessori.-------------We have two children currently enrolled at Peace Montessori. We could not be any happier with our experience. We have been met with nothing but support and warmth from the staff. And both of our children are absolutely thriving. We would not hesitate to recommend the school. It has been fantastic in every way.

Dinesh Rao D: We would like to share our experience at Peace Montessori . Even though my Toddler has just completed few weeks into the Toddler program we are already seeing day-to-day improvements in his language skills . He is getting to know new things everyday and teachers are helping in the process as well . As parents we also receive regular feedback from the teachers about my son . One small area of improvement we would like to see the monthly fees payments , where the process can be automated by direct debits from bank accounts rather the Cheque drop box method. This will ensure we don't need to worry about missing any monthly fees .Overall its been a positive experience in last few weeks and we expect more in the coming years

Lisa Adams: I really love Peace Montessori. I have two boys enrolled for the second year, and have truly treasured our experience here. My children are enthusiastic about learning and love their school. The kindness and generosity of the director and teachers has gone above and beyond, and I'm really grateful my children have been able to attend. The one on one attention the lower elementary students are able to receive is really fantastic. I feel like the Montessori method just really makes sense for kids, and this school does an amazing job. It is a very structured program, without the rigidity of the common core. Montessori encourages children's natural curiosities, differences, and growth spurts, and also helps them develop more independence and confidence. And I love the school's commitment to teaching children about different cultures, being good stewards of the earth, and instilling a sense of community. I highly recommend observing the classroom or talking to a parent of a student there if you are considering the school!

Christy Brantley: Both our sons have been at this school since they were 2 years old. Truly, the school has shaped them in so many beautiful ways. The school environment is incredibly warm and inviting. There are supportive and caring teachers (by far the best I’ve met). Our kids are receiving a top education - their intellectual curiosity, love of learning, and creativity has truly been nurtured in this school environment. I highly recommend Peace Montessori to anyone and have to many friends.

Tracy: As we searched for a preschool for our daughter, we went from place to place all around town. We were disappointed in many options. Some options we liked and they seemed plenty good enough and we thought that would be that. But then we came to Peace and immediately felt at home. We knew within minutes we had found the perfect preschool for our daughter.The director, Sharon, welcomed us into her child-friendly office and interacted with Arianna much as we do: with respect, with care, with joy in her exploration. She gave us the tour through the entire school and eventually we came to the preschool classroom. Our daughter happily looked around and one of the preschool teachers immediately began working with her while we asked more questions. Our daughter was clearly welcomed and felt immediately comfortable in the surroundings.We soon enrolled and have been thrilled with the school in every way. Our daughter is clearly well cared for, thoroughly enjoys going to school and we see many changes in her development every week. Now that we are settled in as a Peace family, our only regret is that we waited two and a half years before seeking them out!What we love:--the Montessori philosophy: the work of childhood, help me do it alone, child-led learning and so much more.--the staff: very well educated as teachers and particularly in Montessori, kind and caring.--daily updates in our daughter's journal--weekly newsletters that detail with words and pictures what is happening in the classroom and in the school in general--the responsibility given to children in so many ways from cleaning up, preparing snacks, doing their own work, communicating their needs--a general feeling of warmth with a deep understanding and respect for each child as an individualWe look forward to many years at Peace and encourage everyone to come see this school in person! Yes, a little different looking or plain on the outside, but a wealth of treasures on the inside!Editing this, a year later:My daughter has now been at Peace for two full years. Nearly a full year in Toddler House, then a full year in Children's House (ages 3-5) when she was three. We returned this year and she is now a month into her year as four year old there.Before I can comment more on the school and her experience, I have to share this. My husband/my daughter's father died unexpectedly in May, just four months ago. We whisked our daughter off to school that day for one last "normal" day. When I picked her up, I shared what had happened with the teachers, and they went into action. From comforting me, to offering additional care (e.g. the aftercare program), to garnering support from the other parents for a college fund for my daughter. They were quick and kind and generous. I can't begin to speak to how much they have done for us through this process.My daughter loved to read, especially with her Daddy, but that love suddenly vanished when he died. Our summer was challenging, on so many levels, and I certainly didn't give her the enriched environment at home for which we previously strove. When she returned to school, I expected a difficult transition, but she ran into her teacher's arms with glee. In a few weeks, her love of reading returned, her math skills suddenly soared, and she is overall excelling yet again. It is most certainly not due to my interventions, as I still struggle with grief, energy, and parenting. It is all because of the teachers there who create such a warm, nurturing environment that is also challenging academically. I feared our loss would set her back significantly, yet with the return to school, I see her thriving again and know it is because of "Peace school" and the amazing care she is provided there.I cannot say enough good about Peace, the physical environment, nor the teachers and staff. They have basically saved our lives with their care for our family in so many dimensions!

Yusuf Matcheswala: Excellent teachers and management. Responsive and good communication. Our child loves going to school here.

Craig Varley: Both of my daughters attended Peace from pre-K to 1st & 2nd grades. It was a terrific foundation, with caring teachers. My girls loved it. There were tears when we left, and we will remember it fondly as a place that encouraged freedom of inquiry and independent learning, even at younger ages.

Esther Hong Delaney: Peace Montessori is a tremendously rich, encouraging, and nurturing learning environment for our son. As someone who works in higher education, assisting faculty in becoming better teachers, I am in awe of the teachers at Peace who do amazing things EVERY day with their students. At Peace, my son is growing intellectually, socially, and emotionally in ways that parents dream about when they send their children to school.
