Full Circle Montessori School (Main Campus)

The Full Circle Montessori School's playroom is a haven of peace and learning for parents and their young children. Every visit feels like a gift, thanks to the caring and knowledgeable teachers, Britney and Kate, who always make time to interact with each child and provide guidance to their parents. I have had the pleasure of visiting this playroom with my 11-month-old son, Leon, since he was just six months old, and every time we leave, we feel enriched and inspired.What makes this playroom so special is its attention to detail. The space is beautifully designed, with natural light, soft colors, and carefully curated Montessori-inspired toys and materials that are both stimulating and calming. But what really sets this playroom apart is the dedication of the staff. Britney and Kate are both knowledgeable and patient, always taking the time to observe each child and provide guidance to their parents on how to support their development. Their calm and gracious demeanor is infectious, and watching them interact with Leon has been a true joy.During our visits, we have witnessed Leon grow and develop by leaps and bounds. His skills have improved with every visit, and his love for learning has flourished. One visit in particular stands out, when at just nine months old, Leon's walking with a walker took off after spending time in the playroom. Another time, he discovered a love of metal sounds and plants, sparking a newfound curiosity and appreciation for the world around him.But it's not just the learning and growth that makes this playroom so special. It's the sense of community and support that permeates every interaction. The teachers and administrators all take the time to stop by and say hello, making us feel valued and cared for. It was this sense of care and attention that ultimately led us to enroll Leon in the school, and we couldn't be happier with our decision.In short, Full Circle Montessori School's playroom is a gem of a space, providing a warm and nurturing environment for young children and their parents. Britney and Kate are true gems, providing valuable guidance and support to parents while fostering a love of learning in each child. If you're looking for a place to nurture your child's curiosity and growth, this is the place to be

FCMS is and has been wonderful. Our daughter has been here since she was two and she continues to flourish. We are so happy and blessed to be able to have her at FCMS. I wish all children could have this education.

FCMS has been a wonderful school and community for our daughter.  She started in the Young Children's Community and is now in Primary, and in each classroom she has benefited from caring, dedicated, and loving teachers and staff.  Throughout our experience we have found our daughter's growth and development to be the result of a thoughtful, intentional, and deeply-researched process that always puts her best interests first.  We're constantly amazed by the new skills and knowledge our daughter brings home.  In addition to learning about things such as the continents and prominent individuals, our daughter has had the opportunity to learn practical life skills, such as cleaning and food preparation, which have nurtured her desire and ability to help with tasks at home.  She has also learned softer skills, such as how to navigate disagreements and politely ask for help, which have helped tame her toddler impulses!  FCMS constantly emphasizes just how capable little toddlers can be if you only learn to trust and empower them appropriately; we're happy to say that our experience thus far has really proven that to be true.Finally, one of the things we love most about FCMS is the administration's desire to find the right fit, for both the school and for families.  The school's priorities, policies, and practices are clear from the start and support the children above all else.  This really helps build a sense of common community and shared values.  FCMS may not be the right place for all families but for those that choose to enroll their children there, it will become a trusted partner and home away from home.  We are very thankful that FCMS is part of our lives and would highly recommend it to any families interested in a Montessori education.

That we found Full Circle Montessori School for our kids feels like we hit the jackpot. We have one student in the elementary community and one in the primary community. We can't say enough about their respective directresses who take so much time and care to meet all of the children where they are. Our kids learn in ways which are often outside the box, and thus, more interesting for them. Learning is a fun adventure. Perhaps more importantly, FCMS focuses on the concepts of community, respect and giving back to others. In partnership with FCMS, we feel we're raising good members of society who see learning as exciting and fascinating. Choosing which school to send our children to was a huge decision and one we didn't take lightly. To feel like our kids are in such great hands is a gift. We're forever grateful to everyone at FCMS for the love and care they've shown to our children and for genuinely fostering a love of learning that we hope will stay with them throughout their lives.

Our son is nearly 5 now and has been at FCMS almost 3 years. This is a unique school and I feel really grateful to have found it. Our son has been with three teachers over his three years, and each have been incredible. All have welcomed me to pick up the phone and call or text them at any time. They have helped me through everything from crib to bed transitions, toilet learning (in Montessori parlance :), and general life/parent craziness. I truly appreciate the thought and care that goes into everything at the school. The classrooms are thoughtfully designed and visually stunning. Parents are invited to visit, observe, and ask questions in the classrooms with their children on what they call Studio days. I personally love the tech-free environment and focus on healthy foods. Kids drink water only and there are no sugar-y or snack foods allowed. It may seem like a little thing but I've noticed my child comes home calm and in good spirits and falls asleep easily. He's never hyped up or tired at pickup. I've also noticed my son's attention span get longer and longer and longer as he's been at FCMS. He will work on puzzles, art, or building projects independently for long stretches and then clean up when he is done, just as he is expected to at school. By age 3 or 4 he was making his bed, vacuuming the house (pretty funny to watch a 3 yo vacuum and empty the dust chamber properly), cleaning his room, and retrieving laundry from the dryer and folding simple towels. It kind of blew me away at first. These expectations for contributing, taking responsibility, and caring for oneself and one's environment were definitely set at FCMS. They also host a series of parent-staff-teacher conversations (separate from the scheduled parent-teacher conversations) throughout the year to help translate all of the work of school to the home.
