Windsor Montessori is a hidden jam located near Quakerbridge Mall.
My son began attending this school in the summer of 2017 and I intend to continue enrolling him there for as long as Mrs. Yazmin, the school director and owner will let me.
Over the past 6 years, my child attended 5 different day care facilities in the area. All of them were decent but Windsor Montessori outshines them all. The school is run by a highly educated and experienced professional whose expertise and strive for excellence is omnipresent.
The teachers in the school are the most carefully selected and devoted group of educators I have ever met. My boy was instantly surrounded by genuine care even on the day of the tour.
Although I was confident my son was in good hands, I did not anticipate that in less than a year my child would advance academically two levels above his peers, significantly improve his language skills, gain confidence in his learning abilities, build social skills, become an independent learner, pick up myriad of self care skills, and acquire time management abilities some grownups can envy.
Having said all that, what I'm most grateful for is maternal warmth and wisdom Mrs. Yazmin generously offered myself, a struggling first time mother. Needless to say, I highly recommend this truly unique school to anyone.
Winsor Montessori is a great school. My daughters who are ages 4 and 5 now have been going there since they were 18 months of age. The director of the school is a very friendly and pleasant person who is always approachable and ready to discuss about my kids at any time. The school has very dedicated, experienced, calm and patient teachers with a very freindly attitude towards children.
The best thing that the school gave to my children is the love of learning. The school has helped them to become well-rounded young kids. The school provides yoga, zumba, music, art classes besides language, maths and science.
My kids always look forward to what is going to happen next day in the school. In short, it is a great learning experience for kids in a trustworthy and safe environment with exposure to lots of activities full of knowledge and fun.
