Nature's Path Montessori

We were one of the first students to be enrolled at Nature's Path Montessori. After looking into many other options, my husband and I walked into this school and knew it was the school we wanted to send our son. I am so happy to have made this choice. It's wonderful to see our son get excited about going to school everyday; he asks me why I came to pick him up so early (after a full day being there) and even asks why he couldn't go on a weekend. The guides (aka teachers) are creating memorable learning experiences that my son can't wait to tell me about.We are very thankful to Ms. Vari and Ms. Twyla and the whole team at NPM, so much heart and caring mindset. I couldn't have asked for a better school!

My husband and I wanted to get our son started at a Montessori early on. We wanted to make sure we found what we thought was the right fit. Immediately we thought Natures Path was the one. As soon as you walk into the classroom, it’s just beautiful. It’s neat, clean, and very inviting for both children and adults. Every time I’ve been inside I want to explore. And then outside is huge. They have many different areas. They have many different animals. My son’s favorite is gardening. He’s been attending Natures Path for 4 months now and he has excelled greatly. He was already on track and hitting all the milestones for a 2 year old but since he’s started at NP his speech has excelled, he so much more independent, and he’s just thriving. Most importantly he loves it. He gets excited to go to school everyday. He loves Vari very much. All the teachers are amazing. We love it.

Our Son started here this year. We knew this was the school right when we walked in. It’s well kept and very open. The outdoors is what sold us, they have gardening and animals and a bunch of sensory material. Our Son loves the guides and they love him! He’s made strides in his speech and basic skills Thanks to Natures path.

We have had an exceptional experience with Nature's Path Montessori since we enrolled our child in early 2023. Saying that the staff is incredible would be a massive understatement. We knew the moment we were greeted by Ms Vari during the tour that this was the right place for our family. Our child has grown in so many ways since joining NPM and we are so happy to see the school growing and reinvesting in themselves. Cannot recommend Nature's Path enough!

Our daughter attends Nature's Path Montessori, and we couldn't be happier. She loves going to school every day, and it's clear that she thrives in such a nurturing and engaging setting. Her teachers, Ms. Angie and Ms. Vari, are wonderful. They maintain open communication, which we truly appreciate. This school truly provides an exceptional learning experience for our daughter.

2023-2025 My two boys attended NPM 23-24 and 24-25. If they went to higher grades I would want to keep them enrolled for as long as possible! In fact, in kept my older son, who was turning 7, at NPM bc we loved the staff so much! As a social worker who has specialized in working with children and families my entire career I can adamantly say that NPM has exceptionally caring staff that truly aim to know each child and family and guide to each of our needs. lask my sons "if you felt sad, who would you talk to at school" and both of them said their favorite guide/ teacher. That means I know they felt confident they had a caring adult to go to at NPM. We also toured many Montessori schools and NPM definitely put in the most effort and intentionality to make their school as close to nature as possible. I'm confident my kids can transition well into their next school with all of the skills they learned at NPM. I only wished they owned the entire block of the area so they could go all the way thru high school.

The best Montessori school in Mesa. The guides are absolutely amazing. The works they design for the kids fosters amazing confidence. The outdoor space is by far the best. My daughter is excited every day for school and her friends that she has made. I cannot speak highly enough of this school.

This is a perfect place for someone looking for a quality, authentic Montessori Primary environment! We enrolled our little one here after the previous traumatic experience at the preschool where he was bored, abandoned and suffered everyday. Then we joined the Nature's Path family and our son is now happy! He's excited, interested, no more crying or saying he doesn't want to go to school like before. Guides are fantastic, supportive and kind ❤️ Inside the Montessori children's house it's a great clean area for education and socialization. Outside looks like a fairytale - loads of activities, playground, garden, piggies, chickens and a turtle! This place is a wonderland! Couldn't ask for anything better!

This is the school my husband and I both wish we had as children. We enrolled our 3 year old at Nature’s Path Montessori about a month ago now and she LOVES it. Like the the point where she will have meltdowns on Saturdays because there’s no school. The school itself is beautiful and you can really tell that so much love and attention was put into every little detail here. All of the guides are just fantastic and all seem to truly enjoy what they do. Their outdoor environment was honestly the biggest draw for us sending our daughter here. The children get to spend lots of time outside playing, feeding the farm animals, watering plants. And if life happens the guides work with it instead of against it. For example, their AC unit broke and while the new unit was being installed , all the children got to have a lesson outside where they observed the crane installing the unit, rather than trying to pretend something different and kind of cool wasn’t happening right outside, they turned it into a learning experience. I love their whole philosophy and knowing that my daughter is treated like a human and respected makes me feel really good about our decision to send her there. I could say so much more about this school, but this is getting a bit long, so I’ll just leave it here by saying that if you want a truly awesome experience for your child and value an outdoor education and a respectful environment, don’t hesitate to check out Nature’s Path Montessori.
