Montessori Oakview Children's

We love Oakview Montessori! I'm a parent of 6 children, and 3 of them were lucky enough to be with Mrs. Alyce. (My older 3 attended a total of three other Montessori schools, all good, but Oakview was the best by far.) Here are a couple of the things I particularly love about Oakview Montessori: 1. The primary teacher, Mrs. Alyce, is a perfect mix of top teacher and grandmother. She has the warmest way. It's like hospitality is her middle name. Yet nothing gets by her watchful eyes. She's seen it all and knows how to deal with it kindly, gently and fairly. 2. Class size is crazy small, so personalized attention is a constant. 3. The setting (in a home) is warm, inviting, and yet this school is probably better set up than any other school my children attended or that I visited over the years. 4. Mrs. Alyce is organized and has the annual calendar down to a science. Field trips, family events (such as the annual Yule Log Hunt in the Morton Arboretum) and summer camp all run smoothly, efficiently and they're top notch events. 5. And lastly, I found my children made great friends here. (And I did too!) Over the years I've learned that the leadership of a place always affects the experiences there. Mrs. Alyce's competent, calm, loving ways permeate the entire atmosphere at Oakview Children's House. And that's something that can't be bought or trained, etc. It's a real gift...
