As a parent, I can honestly say Inspire has been a wonderful place for my children. The moment you walk in, it feels warm and welcoming. It genuinely has a home-feel that puts both me and my kids at ease. The center is always clean and well kept, which as a mom is one of the first things I notice. The teachers are caring and really take the time to know each child individually. The structure and routine are exactly what my kids needed. They've learned so much and come home talking about their day, which tells me they're actually engaged and not just being babysat. The educational side is strong without feeling rigid. I've recommended Inspire to other parents because it's one of those places where you drop your kids off and actually feel at peace. It's clean, it's warm, it's structured, and it feels like home.

Response from the owner · a month ago

Thank you so much, Emily, for your kind words and for recommending Inspire. We are thrilled to hear the center feels warm, welcoming and home-like to you and your children, and that our team’s care, structure and educational approach are making a real difference. Keeping the space clean and well maintained is a priority, so we appreciate you noticing that. Knowing your children come home excited and engaged is the best feedback we could receive. We look forward to continuing to support your family.

Both of our children have attended Inspire in some form or another for the past ten years since the birth of our first. Committing to a place to watch your newborn is a pretty agonizing thought process as a new parent, but from the first day at Inspire the staff has been incredibly welcoming, informative, and supportive when it comes to our kids. Both of ours attended from infant care up through the 3-6 Montessori program, and they left incredibly well-prepared for their grade school experience. Even today, we take them back for the summer camp, which the kids love as a reunion of sorts with friends from their formative years.

Response from the owner · 4 months ago

Thank you, Lyle, for trusting Inspire with your children for the past ten years and for this thoughtful review. We're so glad our team made your early parenting decisions easier and that both children progressed from infant care through the 3-6 Montessori program feeling ready for grade school. It means a lot to hear they still return for summer camp and enjoy reconnecting with friends. We appreciate your continued support and will keep providing a welcoming, nurturing environment for your family.

My children adore all the teachers that have been apart of their education and development and the level of exceptional care is evident every time I step into the facility.

The staff are friendly and take great care of our little guy. He has attended this school for 4 years now and we intend for him to age out at the end of 8th grade. Update (6 years later): Our little guy is graduating from 8th grade this year. He loves school and excells in this environment. Would definitely recommend to every parent!

Thanks for such a great review, Suszanne! We are very happy to have your little guy with us!

I love the Miamisburg Inspire Center for Learning! As a foster parent, I’ve had several kiddos enrolled here over the years, and each one has thrived in their own way. The staff is incredibly warm, patient, and flexible—qualities that make a big difference when helping children feel safe and supported in a new environment. I’ve seen my kids grow in everything from letter sounds to social skills and table manners. I really appreciate the Montessori-based approach that encourages independence, hands-on learning, and respect for each child’s unique pace. As a working parent, it gives me such peace of mind to know they’re in a place where they are not only safe, but truly cared for. Inspire has been a wonderful partner in my parenting journey, and I’m so grateful for the impact they’ve had on our lives.

Our story is a full circle example of grace and courtesy. When we received custody of our daughter at 18 months old in February 2017, Inspire had an opening. Little did we know we were gaining a lifelong family. Miss Donna, known to many, cared for our daughter and helped these first time parents. She grew up emotionally and academically with the teachings and care of Miss Kelly and Miss Kristen until Kindergarten. My parents offered to pay for her education to attend the Catholic school I attended to grow her spiritually so she attended grades K-4. Fast forward to today. We were looking for a school that will allow our daughter to learn through hands on experiences at her pace. Once again, I sent a message to Miss Kristen and she welcomed us back with open arms. Less than an hour later, Miss Danielle of the Wilmington Pike campus called me and it felt like we had known each other forever. We had our tour. As soon as we got into the car, I asked our daughter, “Well what did you think?” Her reply, “I loved it!” We are so grateful to back with our Montessori family and we are excited to watch our daughter excel through the individualized instruction and practices.
