Elements Montessori School

Our daughter was there for three years, from age 3 to Kindergarten. The teachers (or «guides» in Montessori parlance) were very passionate about providing a safe, nurturing environment to foster well rounded development. There was a great balance of academics, social skills, practical life and leadership skills.
We found the ethos of the place to be a great fit with our own. Appreciation for nature and stewardship of our earth was a central value for the director, and was transmitted to the students. Two years after she graduated from the school, our daughter still loves going back to the school to visit and revive fond memories.
We also liked the community of families in the school. It was more diverse than the typical Montessori school in the affluent South Shore towns.
