Parents' Comments

Parent #1
The staff at the Montessori School of Oak Ridge are like family to our child. It truly is a community. Do not confuse the benefits of a school like this with what your child will get from a daycare. MSOR is only slightly more expensive than a good day-care, but the benefits far surpass the costs. Our five year old daughter has been through a full three year program at MSOR (aka Montessori center of oak ridge). She has encountered three years of a supportive, educational, and enriching environment that goes above and beyond our expectations.

Having an early childhood education and development focus for our child has reaped great rewards. She is confident, she has developed a wonderful network of friends (the kind of friends you want your child to have), she is reading, she understands many fundamental math concepts, she loves geography, science, and doing practical things for herself. We've been encouraged by the school to allow her to learn and grow by also allowing her to teach herself how to do things as well as "teach us" things she knows and can do.

Again, the confidence she has in herself will certainly aid her as she grows through the rest of her years (I expect especially during the insecure teen years). I cannot say enough for what the school has done to help both our child and us as parents to learn, grow, and connect with others.
