Montessori Children's House

Awesome, attentive, caring teachers. Office staff polite with great customer service. Teachers and staff address & satisfy every concern I've had

Montessori Children's House was such a great choice for my son for K-5. We definitely would have stayed longer if the Connells had been offering high school back then.
My son is an only child and his teachers there, along with our guidance, helped him develop into such a well-rounded young man. These teachers helped me to be a better parent, too, in my humble opinion.
At 27 years old now, he still gets a bit choked up and sentimental when we talk about Rod, Jane, and Mrs Fleetwood and all they did for him. Deborah may have forced him to redo ALL those daily math sheets until he got it right, but guess what--he excelled at it in Jr high and high school and scored a 33/36 on his ACT in that subject!! Way to go Rod and Mrs F. !!
He graduated from Alton High and then the U of IL, and has been an engineer at John Deere and now is employed at Boeing. As a teacher of higher education, there is no doubt in my mind that this school gave him the best foundation for his continued educational experiences. He is still hungry for it--he is preparing his application for grad school this week!
Thumbs up X 10 for this fabulous school!

One of the reasons I moved to Illinois from New Jersey was to find a Montessori school that went further than kindergarten. What an opportunity to find this AMAZING place! Not only did they offer the superior teaching method of Montessori (as a former educator myself, I am well aware of state standard deficiencies) but every staff we encountered cared and nurtured my children as if we were family. Both my sons are adopted; they have special needs that would not have been picked up in the traditional public school system. At Montessori children's house my older son begin to trust in school authorities for the first time in his life; the younger was blessed to have only known a loving school base (where his high level of energy and curiosity was fed) until high school age. Under the owners well-developed plan for educating the "whole self", both my sons have become self-sufficient and empathetic young men. I cannot say enough good things about Montessori children's house, their staff, and the program they embrace for the sake of children.

My son attended preschool this year at Montessori Children's House. Honestly, I could not have asked for a better experience. He loves school! He would go all summer long if he could. 😊 I felt so comfortable dropping him off every morning and knew that he was in good hands. His teachers were amazing. They focused on his strengths, allowed time and patience for his weaknesses, and treated him like their own. (His teacher was patient with me as well😂) Thank you Mr. Newman and Mrs. Melissa!

Our son attended Montessori Childen's House from preschool through 6th grade. I truly believe his Montessori foundation is what has helped him excel this past year in middle school. The teachers at Montessori are amazing. Sending our son there was definitely a great decision and I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.
