Reviews of Nelephant Montessori School (Kindergarten)

Lysanne Louter

Nelephant is a very high-quality pre-school that offers true Montessori education. The teachers really care about the children and provide excellent care. I have never met more dedicated and invested teachers. Both of my children are thriving since they started at Nelephant Montessori School. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for childcare from toddler up to age 6.

This is the best school! The staff and teachers here are truly responsive and respectful, developing authentic bonds with the children. If we could sign up for more years at this school, we would :)

I can vouch as both a teacher who works here and a mother who's child goes here, this school is five stars from the inside out. The staff love what they do and the kids they work with, the supervisor is constantly searching for ways to lighten everyone's load, the children are viewed as so competent and they know it! This school is always as true to the Montessori method as it gets!

Our daughter loves Nelephant. It's been a wonderful environment for her to grow. I've been especially impressed by our interaction with the teachers during interviews. The way they describe our daughter's character and presence in the little world she experiences outside our home is heart warming and so reassuring. They really see her and nurture what she loves. I also appreciate that I've never felt pressured to "catch her up" to anything or anyone. They meet her where she is every day.

Such a special school. My son loves his “elephant” school. The teachers are all wonderful, patient, and caring. Being a Montessori school, we love to watch our son grow in his independence and take pride in his jobs. Being a cooperative school, it’s great to work with other parents to plan events for the school. We love Nelephant <3

A warm, nurturing and happy Montessori school that meets each child exactly where they are at, and gives each child exactly what they need (academically, socially and emotionally). The teachers are phenomenal and truly have each child's best interest at heart. My children have absolutely flourished at Nelephant Montessori School. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

Our daughter has been at Nelephant since she was a toddler and is currently in her last year at Casa. It has been pretty amazing to watch her grow and evolve under the love, care and excellent education by the superb staff at Nelephant. We love being part of the Nelephant community.

Our 4 year old started at Nelephant in September of 2021 and we couldn’t be happier! We approached parenting with “gentle parenting” methods and it was very important to us that our childcare provider followed similar techniques/methods. Our daughter loves going to school at Nelephant and their play-based learning is incredible. I have nothing but love for this school and I highly recommend it.

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the education our daughter is receiving at Nelephant. The teachers are so kind, paitient and friendly, and the atmosphere in the school is so peaceful and joyful at the same time. There is a real respect for the children as people and individuals. Our daughter loves the jobs and the Montessori way of teaching and fostering independence is so effective. My siblings and I attended Nelephant in the ‘80’s, and I’m so happy that my daughter can attend now. I’d recommend this school to anyone!
