Sunrise Montessori Preschool

My child is in the caterpillar class. Her teachers give me specific daily feedback as well as online weekly updates with photos of her learning. The staff is very friendly and the classrooms are clean and inviting.

School is great!!
My daughter has learned so much in such short amount of time. The teachers are very sweet and professional. I love the fact that we receive a weekly newsletter to our email & it has everything they did during the week & they also have lots of pictures. absolutely love Sunrise!!

My son has thrived while in the care of his teachers. I can't begin to tell you the vast changes in him in the last six months. When we made the switch from traditional daycare to Sunrise Montessori, we had no idea how great the difference would be. Walking into the classroom was a wake up call for me. It was so peaceful. You could see learning taking place. Though the children were working together, the usual choas I was used to was missing. I have seen that everyday now for six months and it still astounds me. It seems that each day my son comes home with new phrases, words, songs, art and stories that cause my husband and I to turn to each and shake our heads. We are amazed at his vocabulary and his sincere caring for other people. At dinner last night I was chilly and must have made the "burr.." sound. My soon to be 4 year old got up from the table, got his coat and brought it to me and said, "Here Mommy, this will keep you warm." They teach/model Grace and Courtesy (basically manners) daily. The other day he asked me who I thought this snowman was. I replied Frosty and he said, "Good guess, Mommy!" He praised me! These amazing moments happen more and more, and I couldn't be happier. The staff has been wonderful and so caring. We have never doubted for a minute that we made the right decision. I only wish we had made the move sooner. Of course then we might not realize what a blessing it is to have him there!

My daughter has been with Sunrise since it first opened in September of 2006. We have been so pleased and could not imagine her going elsewhere. The teachers and staff have been so supportive and truly, truly caring. Occasionally she will do or say something unexpected and I will ask where she heard or learned it and she will say, "At school". And it's not just her level of "academic" knowledge that amazes me, but also the day to day behavioral interactions. Saying please, thank you and yes (vs. yeah) are all things we emphasize at home but are also carried over at school. Of course our children are always "perfect angels" in our own eyes but we all know and experience true toddler behavior. The teachers and staff at Sunrise have been very instrumental and supportive during the not so angelic periods as well as with the growing needs of our children (hiccups in potty training, etc). I think it's because they recognize each child as an individual yet at the same time remain focused on the class as a whole. It's an immense task they execute very well. I've told my friends and coworkers about Sunrise - after much researching, they are the best.
