"I recommend Balas Montessori for 3 reasons
1. Balas Montessori is a wonderful program for children. My children have become more independent. Even though they are young, they are more self-directed and motivated in their own learning.
2. As a parent who went from staying at home to working full-time and then back to staying at home again, Balas Montessori was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. I knew I could count on them for my individual needs with my children.
3. The teachers are patient and loving to the children, which is by far the most important thing to me when I consider where to have my children attend preschool. My children love their teachers and the teachers love them."

"As a teacher I was already familiar with the Montessori philosophy of childhood education so it was a natural fit to have my, then three year old, toddler attend a Montessori school that just happened to be run by my good friends.
My daughter is the third child in our family and was markedly different than our other two children. At three years old she was more attached to me and not as verbal as her siblings had been at that age. Since starting at Balas Montessori in 2011 she has blossomed into a confident, independent and now VERY verbal four year old. I credit her teachers, their backgrounds and training, but most importantly their natural instincts and loving care of my little girl. She loves her teachers and her school and since we have been on summer break the past month, she frequently says "I can't wait to start back at my school." What a love of learning they have helped foster in her!! I will be sending my next little one their way soon"!

Shannon and her staff at Balas Montessori are incredible!! Both of my girls attended Balas a few years ago and not only did they get an amazing preK/K education, it felt like we were part of the Balas family! Several years later and they both still talk about their time at Balas Montessori! Thank you Shannon and everyone at Balas Montessori for the best school experience!!
