Acqua Montessori School

Nico, Ana, and their amazing staff (Ms Lexi, Julia, and Selina) are some of the most caring, patient, and attentive teachers that we know. Our daughter has flourished under their Montessori teachings, and both she and our whole family have made friends that we hope last a lifetime. We recommend everyone to Acqua!

Acqua Montessori is an absolute dream. Teacher Nico has created a wonderful environment, where kids are safe, nurtured and free to be themselves. The staff is caring, the facilities are wonderful and the curriculum is excellent. I know my kid is in great hands and I'm so happy we found Acqua!Teacher Nico also does a great job following COVID protocols and keeping our kids safe. If you're lucky enough to find a spot at Acqua, grab it! It's the best decision you will ever make!

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Acqua Montessori where my 3 1/2 year old daughter has been for one year. The director, Mr. Nico, is one of the most amazing teachers I've ever met. He's super passionate, incredibly responsible and hard working, and somehow also fun and calm. He's built an amazing staff snd school and also a community of parents. It's still a relatively new school and it has been a crazy year with COVID but we've made such great friends among the community of parents. My daughter loves going to school and even during those difficult mornings where we struggle through her morning routine to leave the house, after greeting Mr Nico at the door, thermometer in hand, he immediately connects with her and she instantly calms down and is excited to start class. I'm always amazed how Mr. Nico with a whole class of kids and all the associated responsibilities and distractions can still be present enough to great our daughter at the door with such a genuine and calming presence to immediately get her excited to start class. We call him the preschooler-whisperer. This past year has been such a mess for so many COVID related reasons but Acqua Montessori stands out as having been a rock of stability and positive energy. Thank you Mr. Nico and team!!

Teacher Nico has taught both of my daughters--one at Acqua now (my 2 1/2 year old) and the other at another local school a few years ago (my 6 year old). Nico is by far one of the most talented Montessori teachers we have ever met. His excitement for teaching is evident in any conversation or interaction. He's the teacher who is down at the level of the kids interacting with them.  As a teacher/director, he's approachable, responsive,  and easy to communicate with.  He takes safety very seriously, which is reassuring at this crazy time.  The classroom is bright, organized, clean and open. My daughters have both learned so much over the years, whether it is singing new songs, meditating, playing independently, writing, sharing art projects, or helping out at home with cleaning/practical life tasks. Teacher Nico and his team make Acqua a welcoming place for your kids!Acqua is a newer school so there may be fewer reviews but Teacher Nico is not an unknown commodity. Before Acqua, we requested that my older daughter be moved to his class at another school because we witnessed from afar what an amazing teacher he was. We are thrilled for Nico's new school and to be part of the Acqua community!
