I would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to the Villa montessori stone ridge family! The teachers & management are wonderful, caring and dedicated to educate the curious minds of the students. Ms Wagy, Ms Shanili and Ms Angie are my daughter’s absolute favorite teachers. We truly appreciate their care and dedication to our daughter! We have been with VMSR for almost 2 years now and we cannot recommend them enough! Definitely the best in our area & it’s one of the very few accredited schools as well! Much love and appreciation!

My oldest boys went to Villa Montessori when they were little (now 13 & 14) so when our youngest was ready for preschool and now kindergarten there was no other choice for schools. The teachers and administrators are the best. They even have teachers still with the school from 8 years ago and their longevity is a testimony to the school. My son loves his teachers Ms Angela and Ms Wegdan (Ms Wegdan remembered my oldest boys as soon as she saw me when my youngest started!). With all the craziness going on Villa Montessori immediately transitioned into online interactive classes and never missed a beat. They were open as soon as possible and their protocol for keeping everyone safe has made for a seamless transition back into the classroom. We can’t say enough about how happy we have been with the school.

I can’t say enough great things about SRM. My 4-year-old son started last year. Ms Laurette and Team of teachers, Ms. Reshma and Ms. Seema at Stone Ridge Montessori are wonderful and pay individual attention to each child. I am very grateful to the teachers for setting him up for an extremely learning and fun educational career. What a strong foundation and what a positive self-esteem! I have been very lucky to have my son to be part of this great institute. Thank You So Much SRM Faculty and Staff… Would highly recommend this school to everyone!!

My children have been part of the SRM family since 2017 and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this establishment! The teachers and front office staff take great pride in what they do, and it’s visible through their interactions with the students and the school culture they continue to cultivate. As for my children, they’ve excelled academically, and both have developed a true love for learning which is due to this school. The teaching method SRM utilizes to keep them engaged and their curiosity alive is top notch and worth every penny. I’m also comforted in knowing they’re safe and happy each day they’re at SRM. Not only do they have my complete trust, but they also have my children’s trust. If you’re looking for a school with established values and staff and a place where money isn’t the driving force, this is it! I have experienced private, public, large and small establishments and SRM beats them all. We love our SRM family!

We’ve been a part of the SRM family for a couple years now, and I can’t say enough about the school. It’s one of the few schools that use true Montessori Teaching methods for all lessons. The open ended learning has helped my daughter grow so much!!

We have been using Stone Ridge Montessori since 2010 and absolutely LOVE this school. Our toddler has the same first teacher that both of her big brothers had, 7 & 9 years ago. SRM employs and keeps wonderful, caring teachers and provides a top notch nurturing and highly educational program. We couldn’t be happier with our children’s home away from home.

My daughter has been going to Stone Ridge she was 10 months old and is now about to turn 3. She loves going to school and LOVES her teachers. Ms. Mervat, Ms. Gulsoma, Ms. Triza and all the other teachers/administrators are AMAZING! It’s wonderful to see her run and hug the teachers each morning. It’s a great sense of relief knowing that she’s well taken cared off and is learning so much on a daily basis.

My daughter who is in first grade now started Stone Ridge Montessori when she was 18 months old and now my son is going to the school. We couldn’t be happier. Both my kids love the school. All the teachers are great! Ms. Laurette is the Director and she is simply the best! You can tell she genuinely loves the kids and the school. Academic wise as well we find this school to be far superior than any other schools in the area. We did private kindergarten for my daughter in this school and she was able to read independently and solve additions and subtractions by age 5. A big shoutout to these awesome teachers for being so patient and always welcoming the kids with a warm hug and a smile.

My oldest child began at Villa Montessori over 3 years ago. He had the pleasure of learning from Ms. Indra from preschool to Kindergarten, along with Ms. Dominique. I cannot say enough about the skills he learned from Ms. Indra or the caring environment he was able to experience. Shortly after our oldest started, the school opened to toddlers and we began our youngest who has benefited from transitions from the toddler room to Pre-Primary with Ms. Janani and Ms. G to the Primary room with Ms. Jenna and Ms. Lauren. Every single one of these teachers genuinely cares about my daughter and her education. She is building the foundations that she will need for kindergarten next year and I’m so pleased that she will be able to continue her Montessori learning on her days off from Kindergarten at public school. This is an amazing school and an amazing value as it compares to the cost of an average daycare with a the benefits of a Montessori education.

My husband and I love sending our daughter here! I really love that starting with infants, they teach the Montessori method. She started in the infant classroom and has now moved up to the young toddler room and loves it. All of the teachers we have interacted with are amazing: Ms. Shakera, Ms. Malaysia, Ms. Olivia, Ms. G, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Precious and of course Tamye and Jessica are so friendly and helpful too. It’s amazing to see at 14 months how she already understands when to put her shoes and coat on to leave in the morning, when I say time to eat she runs to her highchair, and she even cleans up her tray with a baby wipe after eating. Every morning now she runs to the door so she can go to daycare and we know she’s in amazing hands. Only con is the app is a bit delayed with reports and pictures, but I’m never worried as her behavior proves she has a great time and the teachers always fill us in when we pick her up too. Overall, we can’t say enough how glad we are that our daughter goes to VMP!

Our 4 year old has been here for a month and has reflected tremendous change in his behavior and skills compared to attending a good daycare. we are amazed by his developments and happy that we made the decision to move our kid to this Montessori. The teacher Miss Lauren and Jenna are awesome. the staff is very accommodating and responsive. Would strongly recommend.

Our family relocated to the Columbus area last July with our one-year old daughter. One of the first things we did after getting settled in was to look for quality childcare for her. The LONG search was worth it because we found Villa. They have been absolutely amazing for us, and most importantly for our daughter; it has blown my mind how well she has responded to the Montessori method. First of all, they are tackling something that NONE of the other Montessori schools in the Columbus are doing, starting the curriculum with infants and toddlers! When I arrive to drop my daughter off at school, she is so excited to get in that saying goodbye to me is almost an afterthought. From my observations of her class, I can see how well she responds to the way Montessori is taught in her class. It’s obviously at a very introductory level for her age, but the respect and independence she is given is exactly what she needs at this phase of her life. I have no doubt that she is a more intelligent, confident, and respectful person as a direct result of her teachers; Ms. Veronica initially, and now Ms. Victoria and Ms. G. On top of how great the school and the teaching staff have been for my daughters development, the school’s director, Tamye, deserves a HUGE thank you! I work at Wright-Patt Credit Union, and being an essential worker means that I have had to work more hours and under more stressful conditions since the COVID-19 pandemic started. She looked at my unique situation and found a way to offer assistance that meant I could keep working to put food on the table and pay our bills. She went above and beyond to find a solution for me. I also know that she worked with the owners to find this solution, which means that at every level from top to bottom this school has it’s priorities exactly where they need to be.

We were really glad we send our kid to Villa Montessori school. They follow Montessori program there and my kid was encouraged to explore more and learn a lot. Teachers were always keen on listening to parents and communicating about progress and also very caring. The environment is very clean. I would recommend Villa to my friends. My kids had a wonderful time there.

My 23 month old Son started Villa Montessori in September. Because of his amazing teachers, we have already seen a tremendous change in his development and communication. We are so happy we chose this wonderful school. My son lights up when he sees Ms. Kimberly which makes drop off so easy. You can definitely feel the love for the children from the whole staff and we are blessed to be apart of the Villa family. Highly reputable and highly recommend.

We are so happy our son goes to Villa Montessori. Ms. Faria is kind, thoughtful, and patient. The environment is warm and oriented for learning and creativity. Thank you for being such a wonderful place for children to grow!

I'm so happy that my kids are enrolled at Villa Leesburg. I am a product of a Montessori school and have always known that I will provide my kids with the same positive experience. My kids LOVE to go to school and it's really wonderful seeing their excitement when I drop them off in the morning. Villa administration and teachers are the best ever! They are attentive, patient, hands on, and knowledgeable. My kids started in August, and in just 3 months, their overall growth and confidence has improved dramatically. I love to hear what they learn each day, especially as they speak with such excitement! Villa Montessori is without a doubt the best place for my kids, and will be for yours too! I'm forever grateful to Villa staff for providing a positive educational experience and secure environment every day.

We love having our daughter at Villa Montessori! We started her when she was 2 and she’s already learned so many valuable skills like independent play, cleaning up after herself, learning to paint, use glue and scissors, the list goes on! Her teacher Ms. Rezvan is so sweet my daughter runs to give her a hug every morning now. We will he putting our second daughter in when she turns 18 months!

Our 2 y/o has been attending VPM 2.5 months now. We are very happy with the school. The school is smaller and very clean and bright. It is clear how devoted and passionate the administration is to child care and development. We came from a beloved home daycare which we had been attending for 7+
years with all our kids. I was so nervous to move as I had such high expectations from our perfect current daycare (commute became too long). It was so hard to leave, but VMP has been a perfect fit from day one. Our daughter loves music and they play a mix of classical composers along with fun age-appropriate music. She has already learned so much and I love seeing her teachers light up when she walks in the room (as much as we love seeing her excited to arrive). Ms. Barbara is magical. She is so loving and invested in each of her classroom children. She works very hard to make sure our daughter gets exactly what she needs in her personal growth and helps to challenge her with her development. We love getting dozens of pictures each day show us exactly what she has been immersed in and lerarning. The daily reports also illustrate for us what she is working on and how we can reinforce new experiences at home. We feel really lucky to have found such a great fit.

As a new mom, I have been extremely picky about my son's child care arrangements. This is the first time in 21 months that I have been completely comfortable dropping him off and going to work. Not only am I confident in the care he is receiving but he genuinely loves his teachers and friends in the toddler class room. I would highly recommend Villa to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their children.

Christine K.

This has been a great place for my son. He's really grown in the short time he's been there and the transition from daycare to preschool was seamless. He loves to go to preschool and get his work done every day. I'm very happy with our choice to go to VMP.

My 2.5-year old twin boys joined Villa Montessori’s pre-primary program in October and they have progressed so much in such a short time period. They are forming sentences, starting to say their ABCs and 123s, and interacting more with other children. I was nervous about putting them in a program since they were at home for the first 2.5 years, but the director, Miss Kimberly, put me at ease upon meeting her and touring the facility. The teachers, Miss Erin and Miss Danielle, are also wonderful. My boys adore them and love all the activities. They are so excited for school every morning. Villa Montessori is a blessing to our family.
