Montessori Foundations of Chicago

I love MFC, best school and staff ever. I feel confident every day I drop off my son that he is safe and learning from the best teachers and classmates. I love how the school always plans family events, and finds ways for families to always feel part of the community. All staff goes above and beyond to help each individual kid be at their best. This a school where you actually know all the staff, your kid's classmates and their families. I recommend MFC 10000%

I just wanted to share how grateful we are for Montessori Foundations of Chicago. MFC is the best thing that has happened for our family! Our son started in the infant room and is now one of the older students in his diverse, multi-age preschool class, and he is thriving. Besides the gorgeous new school building just a block away from the old location, the director (Ms. Betty) and staff have worked so hard to continue serving MFC students and families throughout this wild year. From customized home learning kits and preschool Zoom sessions during the spring 2020 shutdown to safely resuming in person classes following all the state protocols and even offering virtual parent engagement sessions, Ms. Betty and all the staff have truly gone above and beyond to keep this neighborhood gem shining. We really love how much his teacher and teacher's assistants care about him and his development, and parent and family involvement is very high, which leads to a true sense of community. We have learned so much about how to be good parents, and our son has grown in so many ways and developed his independence. We feel lucky to be part of the MFC community and grateful that this incredibly high quality education is such an affordable option in the neighborhood.

I really like this daycare and I highly recommend it for parents who wants thier kids to grow up with confidence and independence, I barely trained there for 4 days for now and I am very amazed about the capacity of kids to do everything even in a very young age and the way the teachers deal with them and try to extract the best of those kids using multiple strategies that help the child to build his personality. To be honnest this is not a daycare but a second family for a child.

My son has been here for 4+ years. He is now entering the elementary program. I credit much of his growth to the school. He loves going to school and learning. He reads well above his age and does so because he wants to, not because the school tells him he has to. The Montessori method has a way of building confidence in kids that makes them to genuinely want to succeed for themselves and the love of learning by expanding on a kid's naturally curious mind. He brings this attitude not only in school but rather anything he does. At such a young age(3 y.o) not all kids are ready to do math or start reading for example, but the Montessori method allows kids to learn when they are ready rather than force them to start reading( or math etc) thus creating a distaste for it because it's not their right time. The staff are trained in the Montessori method and know how to implement it the right way. We are proud to say our son goes to school there.

All my kids went to this daycare. I love the teachers here and also their Montessori philosophy. We just went to my friend's kid birthday party last week and I'm so proud of Claire when she being such an independent girl during the time at my friend's house, Wesley too. They just did everything by themselves: eating ,cleaning up,washing hands,peeing,putting on their own shoes.... They only 2 and 4 yrs old. My friends so surprised that they can be so independent at this age.I'm the easiest mom even with three kids. I want to say thank you to all the teachers and Ms Beata for providing such a wonderful daycare. I will definitely recommend this daycare to everyone i know.

I have my daughter Lily Tinghili in this daycare for about three years. Within this three short years, she is a Montessori student. She is Kindergarten, but she is at the second grade level. I am busy mom like you. This is the perfect place to put your child. The school provides healthy food( I mean real food). Breakfast, lunch, and after noon snack you do not have to worry. You can have a peace of mind at work without worry about your child.
