What People Say

We have been nothing but impressed by the quality of the education at the Montessori Discovery Center. All of the teachers and staff are supportive, patient and provide an excellent and welcoming learning environment. Our daughter comes home every day with new skills and new knowledge. Most important of all, we have seen her emotional growth with an emphasis on empathy, patience and respect. We cannot wait to get our son enrolled in the program. Thank you MDC for providing such an amazing place for our children to learn!

Kenji & TessaParents

Since our daughter started preschool at the Montessori Discovery Center in the fall of 2013, she has grown tremendously not only mentally and emotionally . To say that she is thriving would be an understatement. Miss Jemima and Miss Olivia are a perfect fit for her and we could not be more pleased with her kindergarten progress. We are excited to start our 2 and a 1/2 year old son there this fall. We are grateful to all of the caring teachers who give us so much of themselves each day to ensure our kids are getting the best, well-rounded experience.

Amy & JeffParents

We’ve been so fortunate to watch both of our children thrive at Montessori Discovery Center! Not only did they both learn to read, but more importantly, they developed self-confidence, independence, courtesy and grave. There is no other place we’d rather our children be than MDC, and they feel the same way!

Karin & DrewParents

We will be forever grateful to everyone at MDC. Our daughters not only had a safe, fun, and highly educational environment; they had a family away from home that helped us mold our girls into fantastic human beings.

Kate & Alan

We can’t say enough about how wonderful MDC has been for our family. All three of our boys went to MDC and we couldn’t be happier. With an amazing and kind staff, the school embodies the spirit of creative learning.
