Midwood Montessori is an awesome school! The curriculum is pretty rigorous and tailored to each kid, and my son has been learning a lot and improving significantly in ELA, math and general study habits. The staff and teachers are very professional, really care about the students and their growth, and create a welcoming vibe. Our son loves going there every day and has also made some great friends as well.

As one of the first classes to complete the entire 3-year curriculum over thirty years ago, I have fond memories of this school. When I attended, Harriet Safran was my teacher. She is also the director/founder of Midwood Montessori. Currently, her daughters Jen and Dana teach and manage the daily operations—they are amazing. Everyone at MM has been consistently kind, thoughtful, and compassionate to my three children. I recently had the opportunity to do an in-classroom visit; below is my thank-you email to them: "I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to spend time with my boys in the classroom. I remember MM as a place of growth, discovery, and connection. The lessons I learned, my sense of morality, and the memories I made while attending MM are treasures that I hold dearly. I am truly grateful for the time spent there and the lasting impact it has had on me. After my observation yesterday, I realized that the same would be for my children. Ms. Safran would be proud. "My wife and I are grateful to have had the opportunity to send my children to MM.
