Lifetime Parents

Lifetime Montessori will make a profound, extensive and positive impact in the life of your child and your family. Our son, the youngest of 4, started in Lifetime Montessori shortly after his second birthday. Prior to that time, he was in a preschool, as were his siblings at different times in different locations. Up until Lifetime Montessori, we had grown accustom to the typical preschool routine, curriculum and discipline. Lifetime Montessori is heads above anything else we have experienced. From the moment you walk into the office or a classroom, there is an overwhelming feeling of calm, warmth and caring. This environment radiates throughout the day- day after day. The children are all happy and enjoying themselves, engaging in different activities and exercise, often at their pace and direction, but always under the watchful and caring eye of the Lifetime staff. Our son has some dietary issues, and Lifetime has been tremendously helpful and consistent in their implementation and follow up of our requests. If we ever had a question, we had the emails of his teacher and the director, and also had various phone numbers to contact them. On the off chance that they didn't pick up the phone when we called (how often do people really answer their phones these days?!), they returned voicemails and emails promptly. We were also anxious to potty train our son when he started at Lifetime because he was showing many signs of wanting to do so at home. The staff fully embraced our desire to start training, and did a wonderful job helping us train him. Though he has only completed one year at Lifetime, the skills he has learned are amazing. His fine motor skills/dexterity are simply amazing, as are his verbal skills and manners. I cannot say enough good things about the Montessori methodology and Lifetime Montessori.
