Naperville Montessori

My son is currently attending the school and we’re more than satisfied! He has been in toddler’s program and now is on Pre-​School program. Teachers are loving and patient, always open for parents and doubts, direction is organised and is always available for questions, doubts and even to answer how’s my kid’s day going. Food is fresh and cooked daily on premises, always balanced and really healthy (no candied fruits or frozen food). I recommend the school for all my friends and will certainly enroll my daughter when she turns 2 years old.

Before the days of jello
Lived a prehistoric fellow
Who loved a maid and courted her beneath a banyan tree
And they had lots of children
And their children all had children
And they kept on having children until one of them had me
CHORUS:
We’re a family and we’re a tree
Our roots grow deep down in history
From my great-​great-​grandparents reaching up to me
We’re a green and growing family tree
My grandma came from Russia
My grandpa came from Prussia
They met in Nova Scotia, had my dad in Tennessee
And they moved to Yokahama
Where my daddy met my mama
Her dad’s from Alabama and her mom’s part Cherokee
CHORUS
Oh one fine day I may go
To Tierra del Fuego
Perhaps I’ll meet my wife there and we’ll move to Timbuktu
And our kids will be bilingual
And though she may stay single
She could of course comingle with the king of Katmandu
CHORUS
Oh the folks in Madagascar
Aren’t the same as in Alaska
They have different foods and different mood and different colored skin
Now you may have a difrerent name
But underneath we’re much the same
You’re probably my cousin and the whole world is my kin
CHORUS
Hooray for diversity! That’s where I went to preschool and kindergarten, and I look back on the curriculum thinking, «wow, we really knuckled down to get through that school. That was KINDERGARTEN. The song shown above (don’t ask how those lyrics got there) was what we sung at our kindergarten graduation. Even though I went to school there in Naperville, the was a wonderful racial rainbow. So, the lyrics aren’t contradictory to the atmosphere of where I went to school!

Great reputation. Small class sizes and the children really enjoy learning. Montessori employs the «follow the child» philosophy, allowing the child to choose their own experiental and abstract classwork. They require school uniforms, which is nice since there will be no arguments in the morning about what to wear.
