Villa Montessori Preschool Columbus

Feb 8th, 2024

As a first time parent my wife and I were extremely nervous to take our son to daycare for the first time and I am so happy that we were able to find a place like the Villa. The teachers are caring, personable, and communicative. Our son is always so happy to go to daycare. I highly recommend the Villa to any parent.

We have loved our experience at Villa! The staff is so welcoming and makes you feel like family there. They have so many family events to include parents in the school. Our daughter is learning so much and we are so glad we switched her there!

One worry that doesn't cross my mind is the quality of my child's education and care while attending Villa Montessori. It is surreal to see such consistent effort, enthusiasm, and quality from the teachers and staff who care for full classrooms of kids that can create challenging work days for even the best of us. I have noticed my child coming home with new capabilities and higher standards for himself (and even the house) that I proudly welcome. It has also been a pleasure to see him become more sociable with other kids that's made easier by the level of event coordination and organization of the school's programming and social opportunities. These formative years move freakishly fast, so it is a relief to know the quality is there to make the most of them.

We could not be happier to be part of the Villa Montessori community! We switched schools for our two year old son in January, and he has been thriving! What makes the school so special: (1) The teachers - everyone we met and interacted with is passionate to be in child education; for them, this is not just a job, but a career, a passion. Teachers are truly dedicated to child development and growth, fostering a welcoming, warm and loving environment. They are happy to be part of Villa and it shows in everything they do. We have been so impressed with the activities in the classroom, with the way they foster child independence (in just two weeks our son is now putting his own coat on, shoes, and faces day to day challenges with I got it!). And that is thanks to the positive encouragement and support the teachers / guides offer every day. (2) The incredible administrators - behind the happy staff and any well run school, is the administration team. Elena and the team are absolutely incredible. They pour their energy and excitement into the school and continuously focus on creating a community, not just a place where we drop children for the day; examples include art show to display the childrens work, parent date night, monthly book club, trunk and treat at Halloween and so much more. We toured the school two years before we registered our son, which at the time was under different director. Since Elena arrived, we have seen such a positive change in the way the school is run, the energy everyone displays every day - they truly LOVE their job and you can tell! (3) The community and diversity the school provides. We have enjoyed meeting the other parents and observing children becoming leaders in all different classes. As example, when our son could not yet put his shoes on, one of the older kids in the classroom helped our son (or his buddy as he referred to him) put his shoes and coat on in order to go outside. When he was upset with the transition, kids welcomed him in the morning with hugs and excitement to put a smile on his face. Parents have a similar parenting approach and mindset - independence, positive support, leading with kindness - and this is huge to maintain the same parenting approach from home to school. School is about the teachers and administrators as well as the kids and families who make up Villa, and we could not be happier to be part of this incredible community! Thank you all for all you do!
