Our lives crossing paths with this school has been the best thing that has happened to us. It is so reassuring dropping our child off every day knowing that they will be treated with love and respect every second they are there. The entire staff is kind, patient, caring, and intelligent and has been a godsend. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us. If you are in need of care for your child look no further and schedule a visit to see their wonderful school.

Our 18-month-old started with Countryside a year ago. His teachers have so much experience, and he loves going to school every day. Coming from a daycare setting, I have been amazed by how much he has learned in our time here. I also appreciate that the class sizes and school itself is not too large. My son has an amazing teacher-to-student ratio as well as social interactions with the older class.
When we drop off, many of the older kids know his name and are excited to see him with a smile and a good morning. I can tell he feels seen here and views it as his school, with his teachers and friends. He is truly thriving in so many ways, and we feel lucky to have found this wonderful place.

Our daughter, who is now 13, attended Countryside from 3 months through Pre-K. The foundation Montessori gave her made all the difference as she moved to elementary and now middle school. I cannot say enough good about Countryside.

My son started going to Countryside this summer and it has been a really positive experience. He is very high energy but they are very patient with him and provide a great structure for him to learn and grow. I believe they are helping him and think he will be more successful in life thanks to the help he is getting now.
