Testimonials

"Montessori breeds bright, motivated, self-starters and terrific little helpers to boot. But, it is the parent-run aspect of WSMS that makes this school unique and extraordinary. It yields a parent community that is truly invested in the success of the school. This deeper level of involvement and commitment contributes greatly to the high-quality educational experience at WSMS." - Mike and Vanessa Johnson

"After touring 6 different preschools, walking into WSMS was like a breath of fresh air. The classrooms and staff achieve what would seem impossible, the perfect balance of stimulation with calm, a nurturing foundation with creative freedom, an affirmation of skills with a challenge to improve. We knew right away that this was going to be great!" - Lauren and Chris Murphy

"At WSMS the warm and welcoming atmosphere starts in the classroom, extends through the entire staff and goes all the way to the wonderful community of families. From day one my son and I have felt WSMS is a second home." - Matt Cote

"The child care staff is experienced, organized and proactive, bringing a healthy balance of structure and personal attention to each child. Our daughter has thrived." - Dan and Sara Giloth

"We're extremely grateful for the outstanding childcare available at WSMS. As two parents working full-time, we require a pre-school that offers care before 8:30 a.m. and until 6 p.m. Beyond just offering the hours we need, though, the WSMS childcare program provides a stimulating and fun environment that supports Montessori principles. We feel very comfortable knowing our daughter spends part of her day under the loving (yet firm) supervision of Gloria Nash." - Megan and Bruce Finkleman

"WSMS provides an incredibly nurturing environment, encouraging children to be confident and curious students. Our sons have thrived at WSMS, in both in the classroom and the childcare program. I can't imagine a better place for them to spend their preschool years." - Angela and Brian Pettit

"We have a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old at WSMS, and it has been amazing to watch them progress through the 3-year cycle. Each day they are challenged by their work in the classroom and so excited by what they are learning. They are encouraged to follow their curiosity, work independently, and to work with and learn from each other." - Gaylee Morgan and Steven Rusczyck

"At WSMS, there's no limit to what a preschooler can learn. Our daughter was encouraged to pursue her passion for letters and books and she was reading fluently at age 4. We believe her teacher has sown the seeds for a lifelong love of learning." - Alma and Joshua Klein

"WSMS gave both my son and my daughter the best possible educational and social foundation. They are ten and thirteen now, and both are doing well in school. It was at WSMS that they both learned to read, grasped basic mathematical and scientific concepts, and discovered that they are citizens of a great, big, multi-dimensional and fascinating world. I honestly believe that without their time at WSMS neither of them would be the inquisitive, intelligent and compassionate young people they are." - Nancy Alexandroff

"As a first grader my child who had spent 3 years in Ms. Israel's class came home from school one day and explained with a sigh, 'Mom, first grade is sooo easy. We did division in Montessori. Now we are just doing numbers!' I feel that not only an academic foundation was laid but a foundation for lifelong learning." - Doris Lozano

"Our daughter has flourished in the Montessori classroom! We feel connected to a community that celebrates children and their learning potential. The classroom promotes independence, supports children to work on aspects of themselves that need growth, teaches the students to respect their environment by doing real life activities in a purposeful way. In our two years at WSMS, our daughter has thrived in her academic pursuits, become more self-reliant, and her social skills have blossomed." - Linda Lee and Jared Kalina
