Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I love this school. I have both my children enrolled and feel lucky they are at SFMS. I would say the strentgh of the school is the teachers. They truly care for each child and are wonderful academically. My daughter is 2.5 needed to be stimulated other than mom and the house of toys. I was unsure if she would enjoy so much time away from me but she really enjoys it. She talks about her friends and teachers at home. My son is 4.5 and is the type of boy who has so much energy that I thought Montessori would never fly with him - boy am I glad I went ahead with Montessori esp Santa Fe. He is doing so well academically, socially and I credit his teacher and the teachers aid for all of his progress and joy. He loves school and that is the best gift yo can give your child. I love that the children get outside time and fresh air as they garden, play and eat outside as well. The teachers and parents work together as a team for and it is such a close community that is one of a kind. I have already made some good friends with the other mothers and we all feel the same way about Santa Fe Montessori - we love it!
