Arcadia Montessori 52nd Street Campus

Best teachers and director in Phoenix! Our boys have grown up here. They love the Arcadia Montessori community and honestly don’t want to leave at the end of the day.

We love AMS 52nd street campus. Both our children were lucky enough to have Ms. Kristin as their teacher and we love her. The office staff (Ms. Tara and Ms. Karin) are so warm, loving, and efficient. My son is always sneaking into their office at the end of his school day to hug them. We feel very lucky to have found this school for our kids. They trained us to teach our kids to be more independent. Thank you!

Really incredible school. Our son started in the infant room with Miss Elysa and Miss Lauryn, they were absolutely amazing.I was nervous to have my baby start in preschool but it was clear from the beginning he was in excellent hands so I increased the amount of days he was going quite quickly. He’s now in the toddler room and is absolutely loving and thriving with Miss Sara. Our daughter started in the primary class with Miss Adrianna. At a previous preschool, she had struggled with confidence and never seemed to fully feel comfortable…all of that changed with Miss Adriana. Her welcoming and confident yet warm presence really comforted our daughter and she has really become such a strong little girl the LOVES school. The administrative staff, Sara and Tara have always been very responsive and helpful. We feel like we’ve struck gold with this school and am SO grateful for all of the teachers, TA’s and admin. They are an amazing team. It’s so nice arriving at a school and feeling like everyone knows your kids and loves them. EDITED TO ADD: I truly feel this campus is a clean ship. My kids are rarely sick while attending there where as at our daughters previous school she was sick for three months straight. They know how to keep these rooms clean and have a process with the water bottles (as you know, toddlers always want other kids water bottles). It has been a night and day difference having our daughter at this school vs the other.

Arcadia Montessori is the gold standard for early childhood learning. Our son attended the toddler through Kindergarten program. We were amazed to see how the school fosters independent thinking, personal growth, and an inquisitive and curious mind. We were so impressed with the team at Arcadia Montessori, we recently enrolled our daughter in the infant program. As our son did with the toddler and preschool program, our daughter is thriving. Our highest recommendation for this amazing school!

Finding someone to trust with your child is always such a hard decision for a parent. We spent so much time touring schools and researching the best fit for our child. We landed on the infant program at Arcadia Montessori and could not be more pleased with our decision. Almost 3 months in and our child is thriving. They absolutely love their teachers, smile when they get dropped off, are always engaged in an activity and happy when we we pick them up at the end of the day, and it is obvious how much the entire staff care and love them right back. We look forward to many more years at this school and would recommend to anyone.

Our two boys have attended Arcadia Montessori on 52nd street for a few months now, and I can't say enough nice things about the school! We have a child in the primary class (Ms. Adrianna) and infant class (Ms. Elisa). Their teachers are kind and genuinely care about their students and child development. We are so thankful for A.M. and look forward to many more years at this wonderful school.

Our family could not be more thankful for EVERYONE at Arcadia Montessori. Our oldest came through their wonderful environment and transition without issue into gifted classes at our neighborhood school. Our baby, who is no longer a baby, has been part of the community since she was attending events in womb. At three, she reads, writes, does math, understands human anatomy, knows the planets, etc. She is taught to be considerate, speak for herself, follow complex instructions, and work independently. The most important part to our family isn’t the learning. It is the fact that they want to go daily. Knowing that they go to a place where they are loved, cared, and taught is the most comforting part as a parent. We have recommended family, friends, co-workers, and even strangers. This place is amazing!

Could not be prouder to be apart of the Arcadia Montessori family. My son attended their Virginia Avenue location for three years beginning with Ms. Lauryn in the toddler room then moved up to Ms. Kristen’s classroom - both of which are still dedicated teachers now at the 52nd street campus. My son is now in the first grade and flourishing! He’s doing second grade math and I am confident he’s doing such a great job because of the foundation created at AMS, they are so wonderful and really do a great job at fostering a positive safe environment with a deep love of learning. My family and I were overjoyed to learn of an opening in the infant classroom for our daughter, and even happier still to learn Ms. Lauryn would be her teacher. All the teachers in her class are so patient and loving. They provide lots of updates via the app - number of diapers, time and duration of naps, when, what and how much she ate and most importantly pictures of her day, playing and engaging in a wide variety of various works. My daughter was previously at Bright Horizons and let me tell you it is night and day between the two! With Arcadia Montessori being exponentially better. As you walk in the classroom it is so quiet and serene, such a great calming positive environment. I drop my daughter off every day with confidence that she’s in good hands with providers who genuinely care for her. At drop offs, all the teachers and staff say hello to my daughter by name. It really is a wonderful community. Very engaged with activities and events throughout the year. Very thorough parent teacher conferences, even in the infant class - they understand the importance and how critical the first years are and are so eager to share the progress of my child with clear paths towards future learning. We’re so thankful for a flexible schedule too as we drop off as early at 7:30am and then pickup at 5:30pm year-round! No worrying about finding summer programs. Could not be happier with Arcadia Montessori 52 Street Campus. I absolutely recommend this school to all. My son now years later is still best friends with a buddy met in the toddler class even though they both go to different schools. It really is a close knit community, one we’re so grateful to be apart of.

Arcadia Montessori is AMAZING! Specially the 52nd street campus!! I send both of my kids to this school, it is always so clean and the educators are so thoughtful and attentive! My kids come home every day talking about how excited they are about the things they’re learning and we as parents are blown away by how advanced they are! Anyone we meet mentions that they can’t believe my daughter is only 4 because she is smarter than a lot of 6 year olds. Love this school and I’m so glad to have them be part of our education journey!
