Parent Testimonials

"I didn't believe in unicorns until we joined the Nature's Path Montessori family, because that is what this place is to us, a 'unicorn.' It just doesn't feel real, this place is pure magic! This school not only brought the smile back to our daughter's face, she is thriving! She feels safe, supported, seen, heard, and even loved. She comes home and gives us lessons on what she has learned that day/week and honestly we are still amazed at some of the things she is doing with her tiny hands. Seeing our daughter happy makes the long drive (35 min each way for a total of 2 hours a day driving) because of where we live, 1,000% worth it! I would drive even further if it meant she could go here. We will forever be grateful to this place and its special people for not only bringing our daughter back to us but for also showing us what a truly nurturing learning environment looks and feels like."

"This is a perfect place for someone looking for a quality, authentic Montessori Primary environment! We enrolled our little one here after a previous traumatic experience at another preschool where he felt bored and abandoned. Now, he is happy, excited, and interested in learning! No more tears or reluctance to go to school!

The guides are fantastic—supportive and kind. Inside the Montessori children's house, the environment is clean and conducive to education and socialization. And outside? It looks like a fairytale! With loads of activities, a playground, a garden, piggies, chickens, and even a turtle, it's truly a wonderland! We couldn't ask for anything better!"

"Our daughter has been going here for a couple of months now, soon after they opened up and she really enjoys it. The teachers are all very kind, welcoming, and positive and they have a very clean, well-organized indoor space and a large, beautiful outdoor space with animals for the kids to help take care of, a garden, a mud kitchen, worm compost, and much more. It has been a great choice for us."

"This is the school my husband and I both wish we had as children. We enrolled our 3-year-old at Nature's Path Montessori about a month ago, and she LOVES it! She loves it so much that she has meltdowns on Saturdays because there’s no school. The school itself is beautiful, and you can really tell that so much love and attention was put into every little detail here. All of the guides are fantastic and truly enjoy what they do.

The outdoor environment was honestly the biggest draw for us. The children get to spend lots of time outside playing, feeding the farm animals, and watering plants. When life happens, the guides work with it instead of against it. For example, when their AC unit broke, all the children got to have a lesson outside where they observed the crane installing the new unit—turning it into a learning experience!

I love their whole philosophy and knowing that my daughter is treated like a human and respected makes me feel really good about our decision to send her here. I could say so much more about this school, but I’ll just leave it here: if you want a truly awesome experience for your child and value an outdoor education in a respectful environment, don’t hesitate to check out Nature's Path Montessori!"​​​​

"My son has been a student at NPM for a little over a year now. He started when he was 2. We are so impressed with every aspect of his school—he has grown tremendously in the short amount of time he has attended. Jacob’s social skills, vocabulary, and overall love of learning are on another level! Everywhere we go and whomever he speaks to comments on how smart, social, and well-spoken he is. This is all attributed to his amazing guides/teachers at Nature’s Path. Jacob feels heard, loved, and supported when he is at school and is always excited to tell us what he has learned when we pick him up.

A huge draw to NPM was the outdoor space. The playground, woodland area, and animals on campus make for a truly magical learning experience. As a first-time mom, it was difficult leaving my child in someone else's care, but after meeting all the staff and seeing how engaged Jacob was when he first walked through the doors, the decision was easy to make—mind you, I had toured 4 other schools (2 Montessori and 2 traditional). If you are looking for a program to nurture the whole child—this is it! Our family is very lucky to have NPM as a home away from home for our child, and we look forward to our newest baby attending when he is old enough as well! Thank you for being such a positive introduction to education for our little one."

If you’re looking for a school that’s going to let kids be kids and not force them to sit at a desk or inside a stuffy room while also encouraging learning at their own pace, this is the spot. I mean just look at the place! There’s also no ‘mold’ or ‘one size fits all’ approach to NP. Our experience has proven each kid’s individual personality and drive is respected​ - Anon
