Dynamite Montessori School (Toddler - 6th Grade)

An excellent school with a great staff. I would highly recommend the school!

I'm so thankful I found Dynamite Montessori! Dynamite was my first experience with Montessori, but I've always been curious about the learning environment. Prior to Montessori, both my kids had been in preschool and Pre-K through various daycares and with the local public school system. I was often frustrated with the lack of communication and the sometimes uninspiring learning environment (I felt like all my daughter did were color sheets).

This year, I placed both my kids with Miss Anna in the Toddler/Kinder room and we've had the best experience. Their learning is play based and they are learning actual life skills so they can be more independent and confident. My kids love the art, music, and getting to take care of all the animals on site. I love the creative methods for reading, writing, language, geography and math.

My favorite part of Montessori is that it is not a one-size-fits all method of teaching. Miss Anna recognized that my son was having some struggles and communicated with me what she was seeing. Together, we made a plan to slightly modify the teaching approach and we've seen drastic improvements in both his behavior and academics.

In short, we feel very lucky have found Dynamite and Miss Anna! Thank you for all you have done for my kids and family.

Dynamite Montessori is just that...”Dynamite!” My two grandchildren attended K-3rd grade and have developed a thirst for learning and exploring. The hands on approach of Montessori teaches the student to be inquisitive, creative and independent thinkers. From an early age they are introduced to science, art, reading, home economics, life skills, Spanish Immersion, tennis, animal husbandry, agriculture etc. All this is done in a loving safe environment. The children truly get a well rounded education that prepares them for a life time of learning.

Dynamite feels like a home away from home. It’s totally child-centered and focused. The kids feel so comfortable to be themselves, explore their interests and most of all learn and thrive!

They teach daily living skills and have fun “extras” like Spanish, Tennis and Yoga! I feel so comfortable leaving my girls at school knowing they will be well cared for and in a warm and caring environment.

It’s especially effective to start kids on their Montessori path from early preschool. I find my daughter has truly blossomed bc of her Montessori foundation.

My son went here from 1st grade to 3rd grade. We have tried other Montessori schools that ran more like a daycare. My son was super shy and resistant to start another school in 1st grade and we went to a meet and greet day during the Spanish immersion Summer Program. Right away his teachers Ms. Tania and Ms Arparna (nretied now) made him feel comfortable by showing him around (introduced him to the class lizzards and boa-SOLD! in my sons eyes) and introduced him to another child who had just started. Since then he has grown academically (reading, researching, math, life skills) and socially beyond recognition from my quiet and reserved boy that started! We have made lifelong friendships here even after friends decide to move on to different schools or move. Unfortunately we decided to go to a school closer to our home (45 min drive tells you what kind of commitment to the school we had!). We plan on continuing our friendships and will continue to pop in and say hello to teachers/staff for years to come. You can sense the strong community of this school when you take the hiking field trips and see former students show up as guests :) Very happy with our experience here and would highly recommend for the Montessori methods being practiced, community, Spanish Immersion (Ms Tania is amazing and my son has learned so much Spanish!), and traditions/festivals!
