What Families Say About First Years Montessori
Real reviews and feedback from Burlington parents who have sent their children through our Toddler, CASA, and Extended Care programs.
"An amazing Montessori school! Over 4 years and 3 of my children have attended First Years Montessori in Burlington. The teachers are incredibly warm, attentive, and deeply passionate about child development. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
"First Years Montessori has been a blessing for our family. Our daughter entered the toddler room shy and hesitant; within months, she was speaking clearly, making friends independently, and showing immense self-confidence!"
"The CASA program teachers are outstanding. They truly live Maria Montessori’s principles and tailor lesson plans directly to my son’s pace. He is reading and solving math concepts way ahead of his age group!"
"The staff communication and daily updates are unmatched. You can see how much love and patience the educators put into their classrooms every day. My son comes home excited to tell us about his activities."
"The FYM extended care hours (7:00 AM to 6:00 PM) have been an absolute lifesaver for our working family. Knowing our child is cared for by the same familiar E.C.E teachers with healthy snacks gives total peace of mind."
"We searched all over Burlington for a genuine Montessori environment with highly qualified staff. First Years Montessori surpassed every expectation. Clean, organized classrooms and a wonderful community!"
