Testimonials

I cannot say enough good things about LEAP Montessori. I purposefully waited several months to do a review to make sure I could confidently stand by what I have to say. When we moved my four year old to LEAP 8 months ago he was having severe behavioral problems and was on the verge of expulsion at his old preschool. I couldn’t have asked for a more kind and patient teacher for my child. Ms. Griffin has worked miracles! The change I’ve seen in him has been remarkable. Almost instantly they were able to refer me to other people and resources to help us with him at home too. He’s now a thriving “normal” four year old, and he loves going to school. I have spent time in the classroom and Ms Griffin has created a wonderfully calm learning environment. The kids are active and engaged in their lessons and work. She clearly adores the children and loves what she gets to do every day. She also has great classroom management skills. As a former teacher myself, I’ve seen nothing about her behavior towards the children that is concerning. She does a great job at redirecting the kids while also reinforcing and reminding them the rules in a loving way. This school and Ms Griffin have been a tremendous blessing for our family. Any child would be a lucky to attend!

My daughters have attended this school going on 2 years. The teachers have done a tremendous job working with our girls and have helped to advance their speaking and reasoning skills. All the teachers and staff have my true appreciation and my deepest gratitude to the owner Sheila Griffin and Betty Osoff for keeping me updated as a parent. I feel empowered because the school keeps me updated on areas where my children are excelling and where there are opportunities for further growth. Thanks to LEAP for treating my girls like they matter and helping them to respect themselves too.
