Parkside Montessori is a really special place. They really see each kid for who they are- their strengths, their opportunities, all of it. The teachers make an effort to really get to know the kids and the parents and the mixed-age classrooms ensure that kids are learning from each other and are getting exposure to new ideas and concepts. And the best part? It''s like a big family here. The kids help each other out, no matter their grades. It''s a place where they grow, not just in academics, but in being well-rounded, good-hearted humans too.
