"Essential Montessori is Cedar Rapids’ best kept secret! We absolutely love Miss Connie and her staff, as they made such a big impact on our daughter. They are so warm and kind and caring. They always treated us like family, which of course we loved and appreciated, but it made it even more difficult to part with them when we recently moved to Arizona. You won’t find a better preschool education with more personalized attention than at Essential Montessori. I highly, highly recommend this school!"

"My granddaughter Alisandra has been attending this preschool for about a year and a half I cannot tell you how amazing this preschool is I wish there was more of them around for other children the teachers there are old school teaching and there’s nothing wrong with that I think that’s what the world needs more of I cannot believe how much she has come from not speaking much when she first started to her vocabulary now all of the teachers are amazing A+++ in my book"

"My daughter started off at Brazos when she was 18 months old. I faced a lot of challenges trying to find part time day care for my kid. Very few schools here are ready to work according to your schedule. It's always the day Care's availability and schedule that's taken into consideration. But Brazos is different. Parvathy was ready to work with my schedule and was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times as I had started college and I had to leave her in school only when I had classes. Every semester the days that I needed care varied and they were okay with that. My baby was very happy to go to school each morning. I could sit in class and be very sure that my kid is cared for and fed and is enjoying herself. Everytime I pick her up, one of the teachers will give a detailed account of how well she ate, how well she slept and what she enjoyed doing. I knew that she was safe and she was in a place that felt closest to home. Thank you Miss Parvathy, Miss Asmitha, Miss Suvitha and all the teachers for all the love and care that you showered on her."
