    I happen to work here so perhaps I am a bit biased but my daughters switched from public elementary school to Ms. Stephanie’s lower and upper elementary classes and the differences I have seen in the last few months are just amazing. They now have a love for learning instead of the stress and drama they were experiencing in their other school. My daughter which learns more quickly is able to explore and learn more and more quickly and my other daughter who was struggling has been able to catch up and feel confident and excited about learning again. I couldn’t be more grateful or satisfied with their education.

    Adventure Montessori Learning (AML) had been a home to me for the past year and I have enjoyed my time building the relationships I have with the families, students and staff. I felt like I was and still am part of a community versus just clocking in day in and day out. Being with this school has made me learn more about Dr. Maria Montessori and her wonderful approach. My educational background is in clinical social work and education, and I’ve been fascinated and interested in therapeutic modalities that promoted a person-centered perspective and have employed child-centered therapies in my professional training. With AML I see much of this carried out as I see classrooms built around enhancing the child’s development and natural curiosity and desire to learn and acquire knowledge. I’ve rarely seen classrooms so pleasing to the eye in my experiences in early education. Often when I spend time with the children they are excited to show me the latest lesson they have mastered or are working on and I find myself learning from them as they go through their work cycles. I grew up in public education and as much as I felt I made the most of my experiences and excelled, I notice how different the children at AML approach their learning. They take control of their education with initial guidance and monitoring of their progress by their teachers or guides. I am amazed when the children as young as 4 and 5 start understanding the concepts of multiplication; taking care of their bodies and selves; begin learning how to problem solve; and engage in conflict resolution. For instance, I once saw three children arguing and resorting to name-calling when one of the students stopped and began actually using an “I-statement” to express how they were feeling about what was said. They then apologized to each other and decided it is better to play and be nice to each other. I have seen many of the children progress over the year and still am pleased and amazed at what these young minds absorb and how much the teachers care about the student’s healthy development. I know I am biased as I worked with the school but they did so much for me and I still cultivate the relationships I made during my time. My time with Adventure Montessori Learning has definitely made me decide when I have a child I would love for them to be in their program. Autumn Yamamoto, LSW, MEd

    Our experience at Adventure Montessori has been satisfying from the very beginning. My grandson attends and absolutely loves his teacher, who has been nurturing, patient and loving through his whole transition into school. Plus, he's learning lots, even Spanish and Chinese and he's not quite 3 years old! The building itself, is beautiful and only 2 years old. I know the administration is always taking care to repair anything that has broken or isn't working quite right, which is often the case in a new building. The grounds are also beautiful and well maintained. The barnyard area is amazing! Overall, I can say that this is a high quality school with staff who really care about the children, emotionally and academically!
