Big Leaf Montessori School is an asset to our local community. There are children ranging in age from 30 months through 6th grade, with plans to continue growing and adding additional grade levels in the coming years. My son has been attending Big Leaf since the 2019/2020 school year, being the first to go from 30-month kindergarten in the primary classroom and now moving forward in the elementary classroom. Big Leaf offers amazing academics for the children to learn at their own pace, guides that support the children in their care, and facilities that cater to the child's wellbeing. The classroom is active and engaging, and each child gets to participate in a wide variety of new lessons ranging from academics to sports, cooking, sewing, and so much more!
Endorse Big Leaf Montessori School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
