"We"ve had an amazing experience with Shenandoah Montessori School. The staff is so dedicated, and the Montessori approach has really sparked our child"s curiosity and love for learning. The community here is strong, and the teachers are both skilled and caring. We"ve seen such impressive growth in our child"s academics and social skills. We can"t recommend Shenandoah Montessori enough for an enriching and engaging education."

"We absolutely love SMS! Our kids have attended other schools/daycares—public, private, and Montessori—in two states and in multiple counties here in Virginia, and this is by far the best school experience we’ve had to date.

The teachers are knowledgeable, kind, respectful, and so incredibly good at what they do. As someone who has worked with children for two decades, I know it takes a certain kind of person to be able to approach kids day in and day out with patience, understanding, and JOY! So many teachers are jaded by stressful work environments and large class sizes, but not at SMS! They have strict student/teacher ratios they abide by to give our kids the attention and instruction they deserve.

We are so thankful for Karen and all the other teachers who work tirelessly to give our kids the most wonderful school experience parents could ask for."

"Our family has had a wonderful experience with Shenandoah Montessori School.  My now four year old daughter is growing and learning so much because of the incredible support of her teachers and peers.  Although she is timid, her classmates all greet her at morning drop off.  When I walk in to the classroom to pick her up she is never sitting by herself.  If she isn’t engaged with her peers, a teacher is always sitting with her.  It makes me feel so good knowing she is developing life skills, making friends, and loving every minute of it.

Ms. Karen hosts parent education nights to make sure we understand what exactly the kids are learning and how, and ways that we can be supportive of the Montessori method at home. My favorite days of the year are the school picnics and bring a parent to school day.  The reason my husband commutes so far for his new job is because we could not rationalize moving our daughter to a new school when she is so happy and thriving at Shenandoah Montessori.  As a new parent I couldn’t ask for anything more for my daughter."

“Our family had the pleasure of being part of the vibrant community at Shenandoah Montessori School for the past two years, and feel grateful for the opportunity. Ms. Karen and her fellow teachers went above and beyond to ensure all of the children were provided with a rich educational and social experience each and every day. I would highly encourage your consideration of this wonderful program.”
