They’re excited to go to Village Green in the morning and they’re excited to tell us about their day when they come home – it’s amazing the knowledge and new ideas they tell us about each night. Our children are quite different in the way they learn and respond to new ideas....each of them is handled in a manner best suited for their individual character, personality and development style. This personal attention and guidance makes them feel very special and us feel very fortunate....We looked long and hard to find the perfect place for our children to begin their outside learning. Village Green is a fantastic combination of Montessori teaching styles blended with a fun-loving and caring environment. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice and would highly recommend Village Green Montessori to anyone looking for a great start for their child’s learning process."

Each teacher plays an integral role in making VGM an exceptional school.

The academic opportunities at A Village Green Montessori are great. Ann Phillips and her staff know how to excite the children about learning. My son has intensively pursued topics he is passionate about, and he has been encouraged to explore and learn about many other subjects....Ann and her staff have been incredibly kind and generous with us parents as well, dispensing advice and offering support, lending an ear whenever one is needed. This school is a place where the whole family can grow."

"At the end of my daughter's preschool experience, I noticed that she was going to need more of a challenge than a half-day kindergarten program. My first impression of Village Green was that it had a loving and warm environment. There was a lot of learning going on, without it feeling rigid. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her year of Kindergarten Enrichment. She recieved so much individual time with teachers as she learned to read and wanted to write her own stories. She talked about new experiences like doing yoga, science experiments, and replicas of famous artists' masterpieces...the most important thing to me is the loving environment at VGM. I can only attribute that to the incredibly committed staff and their vision to treat each child lovingly."
