What I find most impressive about Boardwalk Montessori is the ability of the school to marry the proven learning methods of Maria Montessori with the realities of modern day family life. Inside the classroom, the children receive the highest quality Montessori experience from outstanding teachers and support staff, extensive materials and years of combined experience. Outside the classroom, the administration are always working on improving the day to day running of the school and meeting the always changing needs of the families of their students. Because of this, the students and their families all have a truly wonderful, special experience that in my view is unique to Boardwalk Montessori.  

We are so pleased that our two little guys are attending Boardwalk Montessori. When evaluating schools one can look at ratings and ask for feedback from other parents but everything really comes down to the teacher. The teachers at Boardwalk are warm, kind and love teaching children. The extra attention our boys receive is wonderful. We look forward to enrolling out little girl. 

My daughter is in her final year of the three year Casa program at Boardwalk Montessori. We are exceedingly grateful to all of the staff at Montessori, and particularly her teachers, Hugh and Shelagh, for creating such a warm and intellectually stimulating environment where Claire has flourished. She began as a shy, nervous three-year-old and has blossomed into a confident five-year old with a love of learning and an enthusiasm and curiosity about the larger world. At Boardwalk, the classrooms are designed to foster independent learning while developing and nurturing social skills in a mixed-age classroom. The small class size means a lot of individual attention to each child’s development, and as a younger child Claire enjoyed mentorship from older students and now is learning nurturing skills as she has grown into a mentor herself. She has embraced music, French, and art, all of which are part of the regular program. Based on our daughter’s experience, we will not hesitate to send our son for the full three year program at Boardwalk when he is ready to start school next year. 

We cannot express enough how wonderful our daughter’s experience has been at Boardwalk’s Casa program.   The activities in the program have not only stretched her abilities but helped her find her confidence and independence.  She also finds so much enjoyment interacting with her peers and the dedicated and kind staff at the school.  She is in her third and final year of the Casa program and just recently she told us “Too bad I can’t go to [Boardwalk] Montessori next year!” Thank you Boardwalk Montessori for providing an incredible experience for our daughter in her early years.  

We enrolled our son in Boardwalk Montessori because we were impressed with the quality of the classroom experience we observed on a visit.  Boardwalk Montessori has far exceeded our expectations. Not only do the teachers and administrators do a fantastic job of imparting an excellent curriculum to the children, but they showed an almost immediate insight into our son and his particular strengths and needs. Harry is excited to go to school every day, and we are thrilled with the quality of the education and the school community.
