Testimonials:

"Montessori has proven to be an invaluable way of learning for our children. It speaks to them as individuals and gives them the coping tools they will need as they grow up. I view it as creating a strong foundation on which to build a successful school career. It imparts a love of learning, a respect of teachers and classmates and ignites their curiosity. The teachers at Eastlake are incredible. All are long term and dedicated to our children. The facility is darling. It's very clean, bright and well maintained. Less "corporate" and more individual. I can not recommend or thank Eastlake Montessori enough for the incredible work they do."

"Dave and I feel so very blessed that our daughters Morgan and Brooke were able to be apart of such a wonderful learning environment at Eastlake Montessori. As a mom trying to figure out when and where to send my kids to school, it was very emotional, time intensive and required a great deal of research. When I began the process, I was looking for a school that would provide a loving atmosphere, physical activity and a focused learning environment. When I found Eastlake Montessori, two years ago, I knew right away it was the perfect fit for my girls.

Morgan is older and in grade school, and Brooke was starting pre-school. Both Morgan and Brooke attended the summer program and Brooke also attended Pre-school and Pre-K at Eastlake. The summer program is great. The children are able to plant and tend to the schools garden, play outside, work on reading, numbers, etc and many great activities.

Brooke’s understanding of counting, geography, reading ability and much more, have been amazing to watch. I would recommend Montessori education for everyone with young children. The concept is powerful and keeps the children learning throughout the day no matter what work they are doing. Our family will always hold Eastlake Montessori close in our hearts.

Ms. Daguerre, Ms. Walker and Mrs. McDonald are very nurturing and have wonderful working relationships with the children. As a parent, I felt very confident that my daughters were in a safe and caring place. "

"Few decisions I’ve made as a parent have been as easy – or rewarding – as the decision to enroll my children in Eastlake Montessori. From the moment I pulled into the driveway, it was obvious that this is no ordinary preschool. The facility is different, the teachers are different, and the experience is different.

The quaint school house is charming and homey and provides the ideal environment for Montessori education. The teachers are caring and experienced – and the three of them together have a combined 30+ years working at Eastlake Montessori! You just don’t find that type of stability and loyalty in preschool education, but when you do, you know you’ve stumbled upon something special.

The education my children received at Eastlake was amazing and provided a solid foundation for their success in life. They left for Kindergarten able to read independently, add and subtract, label world maps, write stories – even clean up after themselves and fold and iron clothes. More importantly, they left Eastlake with self-confidence, social skills, problem-solving abilities, practical life skills, excellent manners and a strong sense of their place in the world.

Eastlake Montessori provided my children a safe place to learn and grow, to think independently, to explore the world around them, to take chances and to be held accountable for their choices. I will be forever grateful for all that Eastlake Montessori has given my children."
