Montessori in the Pines- Downtown

We had the best experience here.

Bend Montessori School offers a full educational experience in a safe and peaceful classroom. The teachers are kind, loving, patient and passionate about the work they do. In our four years with the school, the greatest strength has been a social and emotional education like no other. Miss Jessica, Miss Mischa, and Mr. Kevin have guided our children in their experience of cooperation, compassion, generosity, gratitude and kindness. Though our kids are both excelling academically, we believe it is this emotional intelligence which will serve them most throughout all aspects of their lives. We can't thank you enough, Bend Montessori!

We have been very pleased with Bend Montessori. Our son, who is 5, began attending this fall, and we have seen amazing improvement in his reading and steady improvement in math and other areas. The teachers (Ms. Jessica and Mr. Kevin) work very closely with each of the kids and have spent a lot of time meeting with us, discussing our son's progress and the school's program generally.

"Bend Montessori has been a wonderful experience for our son. Miss Jessica and her incredible staff of teachers create an environment that is safe, educational, stimulating and fun for all of the kids. We are so impressed by the educational opportunities offered at Bend Montessori. Miss Jessica offers writing, math, music, art, gym, practical life and science every week. It is truly a tour de force by Miss Jessica and her staff to offer such diverse opportunities every week to the students. I can’t say enough good things about the amazing teachers at Bend Montessori. Miss Jessica’s love for her students and the Montessori education is reflected in every way at her school. She is obviously doing what she loves!! Lucky for us!"

Bend Montessori is simply top-notch! We tried a different pre school for our daughter here in town before Bend Montessori and the contrast was startling - not all pre schools are created equal....... Our goals for our daughter's pre school were to find a place that teaches kindness, respect for other people and the world we live in, the importance of physical activity and healthy eating habits, self expression through art and music, while fostering academic development. Bend Montessori does all this and more! The full time teachers Miss Jessica, Mr Kevin, Miss Misha are warm, enthusiastic, communicative and efficient. The guest teachers for music, yoga, Spanish and all the afternoon programs are also exceptional. Our daughter LOVES to go to school and is full of the joys of life and earning when she is picked up every day. As parents, we have felt included, informed and respected - very different from our previous experience. There simply isn't enough space to say how great this little school is and we're sure it will continue to grow and thrive.

We love Montessori! When I looked for a school for my youngest of 3, there was no question that we would end up at a Montessori program. Bend Montessori School is amazing! The teachers are warm, caring, thoughtful, and SO wonderful with the children. My daughter has only been going for 2 months, and there is already such wonderful changes happening. The classroom is perfect size, not too big and overwhelming. The works are so beautifully arranged. I can't say enough wonderful things about our choice. We love Bend Montessori, and you will too!!

Our daughter has taken a giant leap in her development since she started at Bend Montessori School. We’ve noticed that she asks questions about the world around her, absorbs the answer for a while and then asks another, thoughtful follow-up rather than jumping to the next topic. Left to discover on her own, she will absorb herself fully in a single task longer than I would have imagined. She chooses to spend more time at learning activities than she does at play activities. She talks about her teachers, friends and “work” at home and is so eager to be at school that she asks me when she can come back before we’ve even left the building at the end of the day. Miss Jessica, Mr. Kevin and Miss Misha have created a real gem in our community with Bend Montessori School. We are looking forward to continuing our child's education with them into the Lower Elementary years.
