“We enrolled our daughter at Orono Montessori School after having her at a more traditional national daycare center for about six months, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Our child is more helpful, educated, and engaging that we ever imagined a 2½-year-old could be, and we give OMS a great deal of credit for that. Plus, I enjoy the parent camaraderie and involvement that we weren’t finding at other schools and childcare centers. It’s a wonderful school for both kids and parents!”

“Initially, our children went to an in-home daycare; however, after our eldest turned 2 ½ years old, we realized our children needed a more stimulating and challenging environment. We fortunately found Orono Montessori and instantly we knew it was the best place for our family."

"The teachers are caring, nurturing and closely follow the Montessori teaching method. Plus, their enthusiasm for providing an excellent learning atmosphere is exceptional. They created a setting that continues to bolster our children’s confidence, encourages their creativity, and helps them achieve more than what we thought was possible of our now 4 and 3 year old. Orono Montessori is a terrific place to learn and grow!”

“Our family attended an open house and were struck by the joy, delight. Our experience at the school over the following years reinforced our original impressions. Our daughter was loved, encouraged, supported and challenged to learn not only academically but socially, emotionally and culturally as well. The Montessori Method of supporting young children in their learning in a mixed age classroom provided her with an opportunity to learn from older children and teach younger ones while gaining a sense of mastery and independence in her own learning.”
