A few years ago I was a new mom searching for an incredible preschool for my daughter. With that, comes much angst about where to send your new little one. From the moment that I stepped into Acarath Montessori I knew it was the place for my daughter! Without any reservation, I can say that Acarath Montessori is absolutely an amazing choice. The staff creates a nurturing, and caring environment daily. The curriculum and instructors are outstanding! From daily swimming to art, music and gymnastics my daughter developed skills and a love for the arts and school. My daughter loves the lunches she receives daily which are obviously well prepared and thought out as well as healthy. The Montessori environment enabled my daughter to thrive. My oldest is now 10 and in the top of her class. I attribute that to her experience at Acarath. My youngest is now in kindergarten at Acarath. We couldn’t be happier that she is there! I cannot say enough positive things about this school!

Love Acarath school. My son started here when he was 3.5 yrs old. He wasnt talking as much still. But I noticed a difference almost immediately after he started going to Acarath. The teachers are wonderful. Love their swimming program, probably one of the best addition I have heard of. I know all most all of the teachers in the school, I havent found any of them different from the other. They all are so dedicated, loving, caring and nurturing for the kids. I think the credit goes to fact that the turn around is so less. Most of the teachers have been here forever. I know one teacher who actually is Kindergarten alumni from this school. I cannot imagine sending my son anywhere else for these important pre school days. All in all a well rounded, great curriculum, and very dedicated school.

It has been a great experience for us here at Acarath. My son who is in 4th grade now went to school here. He had a fabulous time while learning a bunch of extra curricular stuff which included swimming lessons, piano as well as several educational/fun field trips. Based on this, we have our 4 year old daughter enrolled here as well. Before we started, she had a hard time getting into water. However, the teachers at Acarath were patient as she got her feet wet (literally!). Now she is very comfortable in the water and swimming at a very adequate level. The teachers are great, the curriculum goes above and beyond. This means quite a lot but we really found was that our kids made friends for life. This is important as kids thrive on the good habits of their friends. Thanks to Acarath!

Our son has been here about one year and were about to enroll in the kindergarten program. We just love this school. The price is right when you compare the hourly rate here versus nanny care at home. Factor in the learning, friendships and daily swim classes and its truly a value. At our first parent teacher conference, we were blown away by the level of detail that goes into the lesson plans. The music program is very fun for him and have loved watching him perform. We have added private piano lessons which take place at the school during pre care hours. That saves us from having to find an outside instructor. Our son is thriving here,esp as concerns the three Rs. He loves his friends here. We highly recommend this school.

Ananya who will be turning 5 in a couple of days has been going to Acarath Montessori since May15 and im quite impressed with her all around growth. Not only her focus towards Quant, Verbal has improved, but also her physical abilities have improved significantly and sky is the only limit for these kids when they learn all these great skills. The curriculum for Pre-Kindergarten is very well diversified in terms of What kids do all through the day- Swimming, Art, Piano, Gymnastics, Quant, Verbal. Id highly recommend Acarath Montessori to all those parents who are serious about their kids 360 degree growth and want to provide a strong foundation to their kids.

Love the school and curriculum. I think it depends on the child as well, how they take to this place. My 2nd daughter loves it, and in the 5 weeks she has been there is thriving! My older one on the other hand would have found this place hard to adjust to as it is more of a school than a daycare! My recommendation would be to send your child here once they are a little bit more mature (4.5-5 years old) rather than when they start preschool (at 3). My guess is that transitioning from a daycare to a montessori school like this works well rather than transitioning from a home environment to here. The best thing I could have done for my kid is enroll her here!

My kid was there. I stayed about 5 to 10 mins there for her first couple days in morning care room because it was her first time to go to school. My son was with me, and he touched the toy in the morning care room while I was trying to comfort my daughter. However, the teachers were so mean! they told my son "dont touch the toys, they are only for those kids, not for you!!" come on!! Make sure your siblings dont touch their toys! They always say if you dont take summer camp, you may not have a chance to let your child take their whole year course. Actually, only 10 to 3 students in summer class there. Expensive tuition, about $1175 for 5 days

Acarath is an amazing Montessori and I have recommended it to so many friends and families. Both my children attend currently. Each of the teachers have an invested interest in the children and truly care for each child. All the teachers are nice and friendly. The quality of education exceeds my expectations as they challenge each child. I love the different extracurricular activities they provide such as music, dance, art, sports, swimming (everyday). Overall, I think its a well-rounded school. For additional charge they also offer private piano/drums/violin and choir classes during school, so its less time for parents to run around after school!

All 3 of our kids have gone to Acarath. Our 3rd and last to go to this montessori school is getting ready to graduate from Kindergarten from there. Our other 2 are a freshman in high school and a 2nd grader. They continue to excel at all academics as well as socially which is so important too. The experience our children (and really our entire family) received was incredible. Everyone there is focused on making sure the kids are learning in a great environment and the entire staff makes this school such a special place for those that attend. Thanks Acarath!

Acarath Montessori is a great school for kids. My daughter has been going to this school for the last 3.5 years and I can see that she is way ahead of other kids her age in terms of Reading and Math skills. The school environment is friendly and teachers are very nice. My daughter has become a great swimmer as she learns swimming at Acarath every day. They teach a lot of other activities like Gymnastics, Music, art, etc. Overall, I am very happy that I send my daughter here for schooling. I have recommended this school to many of my friends.

My daughter has been going to Acarath for the past couple of years. In a few months time, we are also sending our son. Overall, the experience has been very positive. Our daughter has a good grasp on reading as well as counting and additions. The school has good focus on creativity along with physical activities such as swimming and gymnastics. Teachers are also very approachable and helpful. Our child has a very good respect for her teachers, which is also important to us. The school provides a good learning and fun environment.
