Hilliard Montessori

My daughter attended Hilliard Montessori for 8 months in the toddler room. The entire staff was kind and welcoming. My daughter truly thrived and grew in their care. They helped get us through potty training. They use an app to send a picture or two nearly every day so we could see what my daughter’s day looked like. It also allowed us to maintain communication with her teachers without having to scramble for a quick word during drop off or pick up. We were sad to leave the Hilliard family and only did so because of logistical needs. I highly recommend Hilliard Montessori for any one looking for a school that will treat you and your child as a member of the family.

Our daughter was a student at Hilliard Montessori for more than three years, and we were thrilled with our experience. The school is small, with three preschool/kindergarten rooms and a toddler room. The wonderful staff is led by the Director, Ms. Sadhana Arun, who is a smart, loving woman who really understands and implements the Montessori philosophy beautifully. My first clue that this was a supportive and welcoming place was watching all the children race up and hug Ms. Sadhana as each one left for home in the afternoon. The teachers know all the children’s names and because all the rooms are mixed age, there is an amazing sense of community among all the children who attend, that I haven’t seen at any other pre-school/daycare. Our daughter blossomed at Hilliard Montessori. She gained amazing self-confidence, as well as math, science, and reading skills. She also developed a strong sense of her own ability to affect positive change in the world around her. I also appreciated the diversity of both the teaching staff and the families who attend the school. There are so many cultures, languages, and backgrounds represented. The family potlucks and celebrations were like world travel, without leaving home. My only regret is that my daughter has now aged out of their program and she can’t continue to be a daily member of this loving community and learn from such amazing teachers. We highly recommend that you contact Hilliard Montessori to set up a visit if you are looking for daycare or a preschool experience for a child between 18 months and 6 years. Yes, they offer kindergarten too!
