Kind Words From Families

"We enrolled our son at Forest Grove Montessori for kindergarten and could not have made a better decision. We were coming from a three day a week preschool, only a few hours each day. We were hesitant to start a full day of kindergarten. Carly, the Director, assured us that we could first start off with half days and go from there. We trusted Carly in helping us make the decision to move to full days, which only took about a week. Our son enjoyed going to school every day and was reading within two months. Carly and her assistant, Hillory, are very attentive to each child's needs. As parents, we were able to observe the classroom while in session. We appreciated this opportunity so that we could see for ourselves the learning and teaching techniques as well as interactions between classmates. Our son was well prepared for public school and was advanced in many subjects, which we know was attributed to the great foundation Forest Grove Montessori provided. We would highly recommend this school and are so glad we started our son off on this type of educational teaching as it has set a solid foundation for learning."

"Both of my children attended Forest Grove Montessori, and we had such a wonderful experience. Carly and Hillory are so kind, gentle, and truly gifted at what they do. They create a warm, supportive environment where children build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of community. Both of my children left well prepared for the next stage of their education, and they grew so much during their time there. We are incredibly grateful for the care, encouragement, and strong foundation they received."

"Our family has been extremely happy with our experience at the school. Both our son and we have felt welcomed, supported, and valued from the very beginning. What we appreciate most is the school's commitment to recognizing and supporting each child's individual needs. The personalized approach has helped our son grow with confidence and develop a strong sense of independence. We have seen tremendous growth in his ability to make choices, solve problems, and take responsibility for himself, all while feeling safe, happy, and encouraged. His overall well-being and enthusiasm for learning have flourished during his time here. We are truly grateful for the caring teachers and the nurturing environment they create every day. We highly recommend this school to families looking for a place where children are respected, supported, and empowered to thrive."

"My son Henry attended Forest Grove Montessori for three years. He is an extroverted fun-loving kid and every day he was excited to go to school. The Montessori philosophy was great for his social personality as it helped him learn independent skills and also how to work and communicate with others of varied ages. Our experience with teachers (Carly & Hillory) was extremely positive. The communication was the amount we needed (not too much, not too little) and Carly was always available to meet after school hours as needed. Over the years, Forest Grove Montessori definitely became a home away from home. We highly recommend your family find a home there, too."
