Madrone Montessori School, LLC at 5001 Windplay Drive #1, El Dorado Hills, California.

We are a family of Madrone Montessori and our favorite part of the school are the teachers and our daughters favorite part are the water jobs. She pours water at home and at school and is learning to clean up as she goes. As a family we are drawn to Montessori because of the diverse learning environment and self correcting materials that allow the children to learn from their own work. I am looking forward to the day when my daughter has mastered work and will have the opportunity to show the younger students how to do jobs. At home she has a circle each morning, reads, suzy sound and sings, yet her participants are invisible and she loves to pretend. This was a question I had prior to entering Montessori, "Would Montessori foster my child's imagination?" I am learning that Montessori does indeed foster my child's ability to be creative, think and create. She loves to explore and I notice at school she is encouraged to imagine and be insightful. At home we do the same thing and she seems to be flourishing in the area of self-confidence. She is a spirited child and we are happy to have landed at Madrone where teachers are sweet and kind and vibe is what makes me happy. This is sometimes like heaven on earth when my child walks away from me at drop off, in the morning, smiling and ready to greet her friends and start her day. We are proud parents of Madrone Montessori school and just want the world to know how lucky we are to have found this school.

Madrone Montessori is an amazing school with a warm and welcoming environment. Both of my children attend this school, and I couldn't be any happier with the progress that they are both making. The teachers place a huge emphasis on peace, kindness, and respect, and it definitely shows in the classroom as well as at home. My older one is almost five, has been there less than a year, and is already reading, among many other things. Both of my children have become independent little people who have learned how to solve their problems in productive ways, which I think is very much needed in our society. This school has taught and continues to teach my children how to be productive on their own, while also teaching them what they need to know to go on to elementary school. All of the teachers implement a very calm and loving approach to every situation, and encourage the children to use their words and think for themselves and make good decisions. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is searching for a great school. They accept children as young as 18 months, which has been a lifesaver for my husband and I who both work full time.
