Bella Montessori is amazing. Our daughter just finished her second year here and we couldn't have been happier with our experiences. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to help ensure each student's success.

Our family chose Bella Montessori because we knew that our kids would be in the care of the most qualified and caring staff in the Valley. We have been impressed by the education both our son and daughter received, as well as the school’s emphasis on grace and courtesy. Every morning the children are encouraged to greet their teachers and staff with a welcome handshake, while looking at them in the eyes and asking them how they are doing. We have been pleased to be a part of a school community that is invested in teaching manners in early childhood. I am beyond proud now that my 4 year old son is in the habit of introducing himself to adults outside of school with a handshake and confidently asks them how they are doing today. We are grateful to Bella Montessori for making a difference in our children’s lives!

We were so fortunate to have had our daughter attend Bella Montessori. She spent four years there and we are still amazed how much she learned there. The founder, Davina Goff, is absolutely wonderful and the passion she has for what she does is very evident. The environment at Bella enables children to grow emotionally and academically through fun. I don't have the words to express how amazing this preschool is, so I would highly recommend any parent looking for a preschool to consider Bella Montessori first.

Our son has been at Bella for over a year now and I couldn't be happier with our/his experience. I feel like his teachers treat him like he is their own child in terms of his care and well being, and I love that the school is small and all of the teachers and students in the school know him by name. Though reserved in nature, our son interacts so well with other children and adults, partly because of his time at Bella. His teachers have taught him to take direction well yet he is encouraged to be independent and confident in his emotions and actions.

We have been blessed to have had both of our boys taught at Bella Montessori. When our oldest son finished preschool at Bella, he was more than ready for Kindergarten. He had learned complex math that a lot of adults wouldn't understand in a way that made sense to him. Sight words were not his favorite, but he knew those as well. Davina doesn't set limits for her students, she lets them learn as much as they are capable, and creates a nuturing environment to set them up for success if they aren't capable of learning something specific yet. Our youngest son is in his first year at Bella and is flourishing as well; coming home with new words he has spelled and written with the movable alphabet and some simple math work that he is so proud of. Miss Davina, Miss Tessie, and the staff have all of the children's best interests at heart and make them all feel so special. We love Bella Montessori.

I absolutely recommend Bella Montessori to any parent seeking a school where their child can reach their full potential. My son started at Bella at 3 years old in the Primary class and attended 3 years which included Kindergarten. Please note, this is not a traditional preschool. The focus is not only on academics. Ms. Davina has lessons and works that teach the "whole" child from practical life skills, manners, working with others, taking care of themselves and other living things and being a good person in the community. My son was able to push himself academically much further than I could have imagined. The children are not limited to what material they "should know" at their age. They work in groups and independently to master everything from phonograms and grammar to counting and complex math. My son loved all his friends at Bella Montessori as well as Ms. Davina and the entire staff. He finished kinder a leader who is kind, confident and respectful. Also he was able to read chapter books at a 2nd grade level and could complete multiplication and division work with ease. My son is not gifted however he is very bright and I fully credit Ms. Davina and Bella Montessori. Ms. Davina and her team work constantly on keeping the works interesting and exciting for the children. They are consistent with their approach and the school has a calm air and is exceptionally clean. I even sent my older son to their summer camps to experience the loving and respectful learning environment. He learned true responsibility and confidence through being a leader for the younger kids. I am so grateful we found Bella Montessori. I wish I had sent my older son there for all of his preschool years as well.

Our daughter started at Bella Montessori when she was 3 years old and has now finished the school year at Bella Montessori. Our daughter is starting to read and write, can do simple math, respects others, cares for her environment, speaks articulately, and has developed into a very independent and capable child. We have an amazing child but the teachers at Bella Montessori and the owner and teacher Ms. Davina all love, support, teach, and help every child in the school grow and learn. The owner Ms. Davina is amazing with children her love, patience, dedication, and respect for the children is clear. As an educator myself I am very critical and selective when it comes to my daughter's education and chose the Montessori Method for her. Bella Montessori exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend this school to anyone.

Bella Montessori is a wonderful school. Ms Davina and Ms Clare are warm and caring and very patient with all the children. Our son has grown so much in the last year by attending Bella Montessori.
