My grandson attended Heritage Montessori for the past 3 years.  He has received a great education, graduated from Kindergarten and much more.  The teachers are so caring and teach not only the fundamentals needed through the Montessori method for math, reading, science, geography but how to interact with others.  He has come home speaking words in Spanish and caught me offguard not realizing he had quite a vocabulary in a second language.  I believe he will have the skills needed to succeed in first grade and through out his elementary education.  He is reading better than most 1st or 2nd graders and has math concepts (addition, subtraction, multiplication and even 4 digit division).  I am amazed at what he has learned at this school.  The school is immaculate!  If you need child care, consider what you are paying for before making the decision to settle for less. If you are looking for a safe nurturing environment for your child look no further. I strongly urge you to check out this school before making a decision to go elsewhere!
