What the parents have to say

Theresa and Gregory Sherill, parents of 2 Greenoaks alumni:

Greenoaks Montessori school is the best kept secret!
Directed by Arielle Ridley, this school offers a full range of life long skills. The children engage in pottery, stage plays (they even write their own scripts!), music, literary works, gymnastics and garden along with their Montessori curriculum.

Through a loving environment, children are taught respect for each other and their workplace. Arielle, along with her students shout with glee at each of their accomplishments!!
Arielle Ridley is a gifted teacher that parents and children can learn from. At Greenoaks Montessori everyone learns.

SH!SH!SH! . . . . Arielle is the best kept secret!

If you want a true Montessori curriculum, not one that is just Montesori like, you have the real thing at Greenoaks Montessori. Don't waste your time on those who say they are but don't take the time to do the real thing. Real Montessori equipment is crucial to the Montessori environment. It teaches the whole child. You can't get any better than that.

Diane and John Martino, parents of 2 Greenoaks alumni:

What we like about Greenoaks is the loving environment and the small class size that allows individualized instructions. Arielle combines basic elements of education with practical life lessons.
Greenoaks Montessori has a strong emphasis on academics. The children really learn a lot with Arielle and have a head start.

Birgitta und Berthold Blatecki-Burgert, parents of 1 Greenoaks alumni:

When our son started at Greenoaks, aged 2 1/2, he did not speak a word English as we were just relocated from Germany. With Arielle and her small, loving and caring environment he spoke English after 6 months. Greenoaks Montessori was like an extended family for him.
Arielle has a special gift in giving children exactly what they need, at the right moment and in the right amount. With all her love and affection she creates an environment where children can thrive. We could not have wished for more.
When children finally leave Greenoaks Montessori they are equipped with everything they need to go on: self confidence, responsibility for their own actions and work, strong academics, respect for other people, animals and the environment, the ability to progress without frustration and a love for reading, music and art. Who could ask for more!
