My 4 year old went to Riverside Montessori Academy on Indiana Ave and he LOVED it! He was loved and supported. He learned and grew in academics, manners, and personality. We we astonished by how he talked about islands, the continents, and the life cycle of a butterfly. We appreciated all the learning and the play, and above all the diversity in this daycare! Our family loved this preschool! Special shout-out to Ms. Radika!

Long over due review! I absolutely loved loved loved this place!!! Unfortunately, we moved to far for my daughter to continue to go here but I wish so much she could've gone here for as long as she could. The teachers are amazing! My daughter learned so much and loved going to school everyday! Ms. Alyssa and Ms. Cookie we're her teachers for preschool and kindergarten. I can not thank them enough for being so amazing with my daughter. 5 stars allll the way!

Riverside Montessori School has vastly improved the trajectory of my son's life. I can say that without a shadow of a doubt.They focus on manners and character building at all ages of development in the grades they offer - from day care and pre-K through 4th grade.They've also been able to successfully deploy a curriculum that allowed my son along with all his class to be able to absorb subject matter in Math, Science and ELA that was at 6th and even 7th grade level. My son wasn't even the smartest kid in his class and still was successfully completing 7th grade math problems as a 4th grader.My son was in 4th grade at RMA when the Covid pandemic forced all schools to shut down and switch to online learning. It was a very challenging time for all involved and I was worried about how much it would disrupt my child's growth trajectory. However, to my immense surprise, not only did my son eagerly await online class sessions, he also had built up such a strong sense of responsibility and accountability during his time at RMA that without needing to be told once ever he was always on top of completing and submitting assignments to his teacher on time.I have the utmost adoration and respect for the staff and teachers at this school. They are transparent in their mission and vision, and always work extra hard with parents in order to ensure the best chances of allowing the kids in their classrooms to safely bloom to their utmost potential, be it in-person, online, hybrid, or while employing social distancing protocols.Thank you forever.

I am so happy we decided to bring our 2 year old here. He went to a different daycare/preschool for about a year before coming here. He would have a hard time getting dropped off every morning and we always saw the teachers just talking to each other instead of watching the kids. RMA is the complete opposite. Our son loves coming here. He says, "My school, my school!" when we pull in to the parking lot and just lights up when he walks in and sees his teachers and friends. After being at RMA for about 6 months, our son is talking so much more, counting, and recognizing letters. He is developing his independence and learning from older kids as well. The teachers are attentive and always busy working with the kids. They are so calm and sweet and always have smiles on their faces. From watching them interact with the kids and talking with them, it seems like they genuinely enjoy what they do. We could not be happier with the level of care and academic rigor for our preschooler. We're so happy we found RMA!
