Autana Montessori Bilingual School

We are so grateful to have found Autana Preschool for our son after moving from California to Colorado in July 2023. Transitioning to a new state came with its challenges, but Autana has truly fostered a sense of community that has made this experience positive. As a locally owned school, not a franchise, the commitment from directors Patricia and Raquel, along with their dedicated teachers, is evident. They genuinely care about providing a nurturing and enriching environment based on Montessori principles. I’ve seen my son grow more independent, make wonderful friends, and form strong bonds with his teachers. In just a year and a half, the amount he has learned has impressed us immensely. Whenever we face parenting challenges, Patricia and Raquel have taken the time to meet with us and offer their support, reminding us that “kids don’t come with instructions.” They go above and beyond! Their kindness and dedication have made a significant difference in our family’s transition. I highly recommend Autana for anyone who is looking for a kind, nurturing environment based on the Montessori principles.

Autana is a wonderful school environment where the Montessori practices are thoughtfully curated and followed. My two sons both attended, one in toddler and one in primary, and they thrived. They developed independence, a deeper awareness of the children and environment around them, and thoughtful behavior that they carried with them at home and beyond. Raquel and Patty are very passionate about the experience of the children and the environment and community they work to foster. You can feel how heartfelt they are and the love they have for their work. They try very hard to find teachers that align with those values and that are Montessori trained which can be very difficult. Communication is key, in any environment, and as a parent it was helpful to ask questions when I needed clarity on something or had a desire for my children’s education and experience. I am thankful for our experience at Autana and the care they showed our children.

My children have been at Autana Bilingual Montessori School since 2022. Patricia, Raquel, and the entire teaching team are exceptionally qualified and compassionate educators. They partner closely with us parents, fostering an environment where our children explore, learn, and develop independence and confidence. Beyond strong academics, Autana builds a welcoming community for parents. We've made wonderful friends, and it truly feels like we belong. I highly recommend Autana to any family seeking a nurturing and enriching experience for their children.

My son has been at Autana for the last three years. In that time he has grown and thrived under the care and attention provided from the teachers and owners. The combination of a Montessori environment, a bilingual influence, and attentive care givers has provided the peace of mind and comfort that every parent seeks for their child. I will be forever grateful that his early years were spent at a place as special as Autana.

Autana is a top-notch Bilingual Montessori school, with strong community and family values. My kiddo started going at around 18 months, and the growth and independence they've helped foster is invaluable: from potty training guidance, to independence getting dressed in the morning and helping with the dishes!. They not only helped and guided him with a loving hand through so many milestones, they also helped me as a first time mom feel good about dropping him off: he's in a safe, loving place, surrounded by peers he'll learn from and play with. The bilingual & multicultural aspect of the school, at this young age, is also a tremendous advantage. The kids get to spend a significant portion of their day living in a different language, and it does make a big difference. Love, patience, care and a guiding hand are present every day in every activity. I can't recommend this place enough!

The best school my child could have. He is happy and learning a lot everyday!

My daughter loves school. This experience has been amazing. I highly recommend.

My son has attended Autana for a year and a half, and we intend to keep him enrolled at the school until he's ready for elementary school. The Co-Founders of the school work closely with the staff to create a nurturing environment for the children to learn and thrive independently. When our child goes through major developmental changes, the team actively participates with the parents to support the child and family. We're very grateful for the Autana learning environment and community, there's nothing better as a parent than to see our child walk into school confidently and with so much joy every day.
