We love PPMA! Our daughter has been a student there for three years. The teachers and staff are all caring and knowledgeable about the needs and development of preschool children. We are grateful for everything we have learned from their positive example.

*****

We love Peaceful Pathways so much we drive 30 each way. Our oldest is five and in his third year at the school. Our youngest is in the toddler room. We will be at PPMA for many years to come.

I have raised 4 children and am watching 9 grandchildren grow up in various school settings. Two of my grandchildren attend Peaceful Pathways and I am blown away every time I see what they have learned and how they apply it in life situations. They are way ahead of their peers. It is such a loving, encouraging environment. By far the best school I have ever seen.

*****

My sons attended Peaceful Pathways Montessori, and both thrived in this environment!

*****

I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for this school and its staff. My son has attended the primary (preschool) school for the last 3 years and will start the elementry program in the fall. Peaceful Pathways provides a hands-on approach to learning which is wonderful for curious little boys.

Montessori kids are amazing; they are well prepared in traditional academic areas such as language and math, but also in social skills. The children at Peacful Pathways are very creative, positive, and have a wonderful feeling of community at their school.

*****

Fabulous place where children are respected for their unique and independent characteristics.

*****

My two daughters have attended Peaceful Pathways Monessori for the past four years and I can't say enough about the program. It has the most dedicated, caring and loving teachers. We hope to continue the experience for many more years.

*****

I send my granddaughter there for a place to go where she is supported in being herself, not some cut out cookie factory kid!

*****

Both of my children attended PPMA in thier Primary Classrom. It is a great place for children to grown and learn at their own pace and in their own way. They look at the world a little differently because of what they were exposed to at Peaceful Pathways. They are independent thinkers and problem solvers. They love and respect nature and want to explore their world. I will always be thankful for their time at this school.

*****

If you want to raise children who are curious and kind, thoughtful and helpful, bright and engaged, then look no further than Peaceful Pathways. Set in a beautiful setting surrounded by nature, Peaceful Pathways is a amazing place to grow independent learners who love to explore and discover, as well as become caring friends. Our three children have had an amazing start to their academic careers and we recommend Peaceful Pathways to all of our friends and inquiring acquaintances in the area and surrounding areas. (it's worth the drive, in our book - we come from Sugar Grove daily!)

*****

We love Peaceful Pathways!! The encouraging atmosphere and teachers allow children to explore using materials and their own abilities.

*****

We love this school...our son has attended for 3 years and loves it too. The children are encouraged to develop their interests, explore nature, and excel in traditional academic areas through the use of hands on, experiential tools. It's amazing how fast learning occurs when the environment is optimized for how children learn!

*****

Peaceful Pathways Montessori provides a well rounded education with an equal focus on both the academics and on social/emotional development throughout the grades. Children feel at home and with that are truly able to focus on the work at hand. The school provides such beautiful experiences for their students. The amount of hands-on materials is endless, the environment is gorgeous, nature is part of the classroom and the kindness shown is contagious. My children get to excel with their school work and gain meaningful life experiences while enjoying a true childhood. Thank you Peaceful Pathways Montessori!

Nearly all parents want their children to be healthy, happy, and well educated. P.P.M.A. is the BEST school and choice for your children! P.P.M.A. has provided my child with a safe, beautiful, and nurturing environment that has encouraged the excitment of his own interests and academic abilities. I HIGHLY recommend that you enroll your child/children in this program!!!!!

*****

Peaceful Pathways covers all the learning styles in an encouraging, patient environment. To watch the children arrive at school is a must--they calmly remove their coats and shoes and immediately focus on their chosen task. It is obvious they are eager to begin and love being there. It is a positive place where "teachers" lead the children in important life skills and persuade them to delve into geography, math, language, nature and even in areas where they might otherwise be reluctant. I highly recommend Peaceful Pathways.

*****

I cannot say enough about what I feel for this school. All three of my children attend PPMA. Two currently in the Elementary program and one in Primary. This school is a true representation of what the Montessori philosophy and teachings are suppose to model. I'm amazed at how my children genuinely love to learn, and are allowed to pursue their interests as individuals. I wish that when I was a child, I was given the opportunity to learn in this type of environment!

*****

Both of my children have attended the Preschool and Elementary Programs and loved it. It is a wonderful learning environment with exception teachers and staff. Once you visit the campus and learn about Montessori, you will find that it is one of the best places for children to experience learning in the area.

*****

I can't say enough- I love this school!

*****

My children attend Peaceful Pathways Montessori- a certified Montessori school. Since we have started their education at PPMA we have seen a huge improvement in their lives, as well as our lives as parents. This school offers individualized education and hands on learning experiences for your child. Students are treated as intelligent members of the community. They are taught and trusted with tasks that enhance their lives and encourage critical thinking skills. Explicit phonics training, concrete math concepts, and beautiful materials are some of the many benefits of PPMA. I cant imagine any other kind of education for my children! The school grounds are surrounded by woods, a creek, prairie, and flowers. The students are given botany lessons and study nature in a real life setting. We love Peaceful Pathways Montessori!

*****

My children have been attending PPMA for three years, since they were toddlers. I only wish I could have had this as my first schooling experience. My children are not only surrounded by beautiful grounds, classroom, and environent, but have also developed the love to learn. I highly recommend Peaceful Pathways!

*****

I have had nothing but great experiences with this school. My daughter has flourished learning in this loving environment! It brings me great joy to know that she is getting a well rounded education that brings greater detail to traditional subjects along with strong life skill knowledge. I am overjoyed with the fact that she attends Peaceful Pathways, and is welcomed every morning with smiling faces and opportunity to grow beyond basic expectations! I highly recommend visiting this school and learning about the Montessori method of education. It's sure to bring piece of mind to your families lives also!
