If there was an option for 10 stars, Glen Oaks Montessori would have gotten 10 stars from me.
Today was my 4 year old son's last day at Glen Oaks and it was so very hard to say goodbye - for many reasons. The facility, curriculum, and especially the teachers/staff/administrators are second to none. We will be forever grateful to the Glen Oaks for providing such a safe, comfortable, nurturing, and stimulating environment for our son and for laying a strong academic and social foundation for whatever it is that our son has ahead of him in life.
Our son was just 2 on that first day that we dropped him off at Glen Oaks. In just two years we have seen our son grow, thrive, and make the transition from a toddler to a young boy in such great proportions that we could not have foreseen. Spending some time in the classroom observing our son in the classroom setting and interacting with his teachers and classmates and it was clear that we made the BEST choice for our son by enrolling him in Glen Oaks. Furthermore, outside of learning and growing, our son sincerely has fun and enjoys his time at Glen Oaks. Every day I picked him up from school I would stay out of sight and observe him for a little while - he would always be laughing, smiling, but at the same time have this glow of eagerness to learn all over his face.
The ONLY reason we are leaving Glen Oaks is because we moved away from the area. But even with that I continued to bring my son to Glen Oaks one day/week (which is my day off from work) - that's how valuable Glen Oaks is to the continued growth of my son. But in the end, the logistics just became too difficult for us and we had to make the difficult decision to move our son to a school that was closer to home. However, I still put my 2 year old daughter on the Glen Oaks waiting list...just in case.
It has been an absolute privilege to have been a part of the Glen Oaks Montessori family. I highly recommend Glen Oaks Montessori to anyone looking for the best pre-school for their child. Thank you for everything Glen Oaks Montessori!
