★★★★★Cheryl SI recommend this school to everyone! A fantastic and affordable (they take Ed Choice) program run by the most amazing teachers. Summer camp is included as well as aftercare. It really is community focused and they welcome feedback from parents and lots of opportunity to be involved. I feel very fortunate that I get to see what's going on in the classroom frequently and the students ease in to their mornings and the program has built in flexibility. My daughter has developed her love of math and science and reinforced her love and connection with nature. If you are at all curious - reach out to learn more!
★★★★★Eric PettigrewTrout Lily Montessori is a wonderful school with truly remarkable teachers. Both of our children are thriving here. Our oldest, coming from the Public School System, is much happier and less stressed, but also seems much more engaged and curious with his learning. Our youngest was able to seamlessly transition into this school and she is excited and eager to learn in this wonderful environment.
★★★★★Nikita GrossWe love Trout Lily. We get to be part of a diverse community of families who care deeply about contributing to the nurturing environment the school provides. I love the hands on experience Montessori education provides the children. Being outside helps the children stay connected to nature. The teachers take a holistic approach to teaching, allowing the children’s curiosity to help lead the curriculum. My son has thrived in this environment. We are grateful.
★★★★★katie ashtonTrout Lily Montessori nature school offers a great balance of hands-on learning and time outdoors. The teachers are attentive and create a supportive environment where children can explore and grow at their own pace. It’s a wonderful place for kids to develop confidence and curiosity.
★★★★★Melinda SchlechterTrout Lily Montessori has been such a gift for our family! We've had 1 child "graduate" from 6th grade at Trout Lily, and our other child is currently a 5th grader this year. The seamless weaving of academics, social / emotional support, nature education, and community are EVERYTHING! This school is definitely one of a kind with a top-notch Montessori staff, a diverse network of families, and nature education opportunities that truly foster resilience and balance for our children.
