Amazing how my daughter has blossomed!

We signed our 3-year-old up this year. I cannot believe how much she has learned in just a few short months. She is already participating in plays, science fairs and other events with the big kids. Just give the school a visit - you have to witness the energy of the classroom to really understand how wonderful it is. The teachers are fabulous, caring, patient and the childrens' attitudes reflect that!

Amazing school with excellent educators!

I couldn't imagine sending my son to any other school. He has been there for 5 years now and I am amazed at his education!

Passionate educators...

We've been apart of the CHMS family for over 3 years & we couldn't be happier. My daughters love going to school everyday. The teachers are attentive, friendly & love their work. Both the director & teachers communicate frequently with us. My girls have learned so much & matured in ways we could have never imagined. The school does so many wonderful activities (plays, sings, science fair, etc). I highly recommend this school to anyone seeking a loving and nuturing environment for their children. CHMS is a gem!

Can't imagine the kids anywhere else

We evaluated every single educational option available to us--public, Catholic, and several private schools--and chose Children's House Montessori School. I am so glad we did! I love the amazing things that my children learn and the incredible talent of the teachers who coach and guide the students. All the school teachers and the director are supportive, informed and willing to work on anything in collaboration with the parents. In this day and age, it is refreshing to really feel part of a community. I love going to the plays and celebrations to see what the kids are doing and to spend time with the other families. One of the most amazing things is that we haven't experienced ANY of the horror stories that you hear from so many schools these days. We are very fortunate, and we love sending our kids to this school.

Children's House Montessori School in West Dundee is the Best

Children's House Montessori School in West Dundee is the best decision that we ever made for our daughter. The teachers are very kind and patient, and the director is very helpful and supported. Our daughter had tried different education formats before, but Montessori is the best kind for her. It encourages children to explore and experience, and the most importantly, be not afraid of failure. Our daughter was a pretty quite and shy girl, and the Montessori fromat did help her became more confidence and outgoing. We strongly recommend this school to all the children in this area from 3 to 9.

Equip your children with life long learning skills

My three sons have been attending the school for many years now. The Montessori method is nothing short of astonishing. They are flourishing in the Montessori environment which is self paced but yet expansive. My sons are particularly benefiting from the mentor mentee dynamic as they move through the two class range cohorts (pre, pre, Kindergarten and 1-3 grades). The teaching staff has the perfect balance of empathy, compassion, professionalism and academic rigor. If you live in the area and have children in the 3-9 year old range then do yourself a favor and check them out!

So Glad we Chose Children's House Montessori School in West Dundee

Sending my daughter to Children's House Montessori School has been the best decision we could possibly make in her education. There is a very warm and welcoming atmosphere here. They strive to make this establishment surpass a school and become more like an extended family. The teachers have often gone above and beyond what is expected of them to make sure that every child receives the attention and care that he/she requires. A strong sense of self motivation, pride, and self reliance is nurtured in this environment. We feel very fortunate that we have been able to find this school. We highly recommend Children's House Montessori School to anyone who wants a quality education for their child.

High-quality education

Like all parents, I want the best education for my son. I found it at CHMS. My son has flourished during the four years he has been attending this school. The teachers are warm and caring, The program offers "differentiated instruction" so each student can learn the curriculum in a way that makes sense for him or her. Your child's education is essentially tailor-made for your child. The teacher to student ratio is unbeatable. If you're looking for a quality education, look no further. CHMS is the school for you.

Children's House Montessori School in West Dundee -- a hidden gem!

Children's House Montessori School in downtown West Dundee is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is warm and kind. The teachers are patient and knowledgeable. The families are friendly, and everyone is treated with respect. My son started this year as a Kindergartner, and I’ve been amazed by how much he has learned. The teachers and the director do a good job at explaining the Montessori method to parents. They also communicate well with parents and respond promptly to parent questions and concerns. Set up an appointment with the director to learn more about this wonderful school. Also, please note that although part of the school is located in a church, this is not a religious school. There is no religious affiliation and no religion is taught. Children and families of all faiths are welcomed into the community.
