Lakeview Montessori School

” I did not have a good experience previously with the catholic school and moved my son to Lakeview Montessori and he has just flourished. The smaller class sizes, the teachers [miss Diane and Mr Mendez have been awesome and take the time to get to know the child as an individual. I have had only positive experiences since he has been there. “

” I cannot say enough good things about Lakeview Montessori. All three of my children attend (Ages 5, 4 and 1) and they absolutely love it. Given the current circumstances and how challenging it’s been for everyone, my kids are thriving in the environment there. The two older kids in Casa come home happily exhausted. The routine and stability Lakeview has offered for them has been more then I could have hoped for. The things that they tell me they are learning constantly surprise and impress me. My husband and I are both healthcare workers and the flexibility and understanding by everyone involved at the school has truly made our experience a great one. Ms. Christina has gone above and beyond to accommodate us and is truly the most genuine, pleasant person to deal with. She always gets back to us so quickly and has addressed any concerns in the best possible way. I highly recommend this school and am so happy to say enrolling them was the best decision we could have made. -K. Fanelli “

” My sons have been students at LMS for a few years now. There is honestly so much to love about this place. They come home singing classic rock songs, excitedly reciting the days of the week in French, telling me the difference between a “growth mindset” and a “fixed mindset” at 5 and 3 years old. They are obsessed with the new gym and the beautiful new playground…especially the garden. My son surprised me with a carrot he planted a few months ago and he was so proud. Love their friends and adore their teachers. I’m a good radar for their emotions and pretty much everyday they are so happy. As a parent of young children in 2022, that’s all I can hope or pray for. My personal experience is that there is a significant investment in their education, to be sure, but that isn’t even what stands out to me the most. The community component is wonderful. They know everyone and everyone knows them. Even the older kids in junior will know the little ones and that always makes them feel so special. It’s like a second home. The feeling of safety and ease that I get when I drop them off is something that you don’t find every day, especially in these trying times. I’ve been so grateful for this place and really wanted to share. “

” Our experience with this school has been nothing short of amazing. Initially, we had our daughter signed up at another daycare until a friend highly recommended Lakeview. We attended the open house and decided to give it a try – it turned out to be a GREAT decision! Now our son is also at the school and he is loving it – he adores his teachers and is learning so much every day. As a parent, there is nothing more comforting than knowing that your child is genuinely happy when they’re not at home – and the teachers that we’ve had the pleasure of working with, make sure our child’s experience is a great one. I feel as though Ms. Cindy & Ms. Michelle (and Margie, Lauren, and Jade) have become an extension of our family in a sense. Not only does my son talk about them everyday, but they are always willing to help, and even initiate, with big milestones in his life. Recently, we were able to check his ‘adventures’ in potty training off the list because of the help and encouragement he received from Ms. Cindy and his other teachers. The open communication between parent and teacher is also another reason why we love the school so much. With daily reports and casual conversation with the teachers, we are able to find out just how far our son has come since starting at Lakeview over a year ago. Overall, I am so happy with the switch we made on a whim once we visited the school a couple of years ago. Thank you so much to all the staff, especially Ms. Cindy, Ms. Michelle & Ms. Christina. “

” My son recently switched from the public system to Lakeview. He is thriving!! The programs, teachers and community feeling at this school are second to none. I highly recommend this school as a center for academic excellence and progressive education. Children are allowed to learn and develop at their own pace, which often leads to them being ahead in many areas. The arts, music, athletics and extracurricular programs are a high priority and there are many opportunities for children to excel. Love this school! “
