Children's Garden Montessori of Canton

My son is in his second year of preschool at Children's Garden Montessori. We decided to send him to preschool when he had just turned 3 and he had not been in daycare previously, so we visited several preschools to make sure we found the right environment for him. We absolutely love Children's Garden Montessori! It was a perfect transition to school for him. The teacher / child ratio is great and it is a small, one room classroom that is not overwhelming. During the summer, my son kept saying he couldn't wait to go back to his "yellow school." The teachers are extremely caring and really want whatever is best for the kids. I am planning to send my younger son there when he is old enough. I would highly recommend Children's Garden Montessori to anyone starting their kids in preschool!

Our experience at Children’s Garden has been nothing but positive. My daughter is in her second year of attending half days and loves every minute that she spends at school. The teachers do an excellent job of providing engaging activities for the children to learn and also have fun. We still often discuss memories she has from her first year including planting and harvesting a garden, hatching baby chicks, sled riding in the playground and art projects with Ms. Vogt. You won’t regret enrolling your child at Children’s Garden Montessori!

My husband and I looked for months to find a perfect school for my daughter to go to. We wanted a place that had the "warm fuzzy" feel when you walked in. We were also looking for teachers that actually care about the students and are not just there for the paycheck. With the experience that we've had at Childrens Garden Montessori so far, we are sure we found the absolute perfect school for our family. The teachers are always smiling, greeting each and every child by name. They always have a plan each day for some fun with the kids. My daughter is always showing us things she has learned at school, when she gets home. So funny hearing all of the facts she has learned about different plants and animals. The growth that I've seen within her as well with learning about caring for others and manners is astounding. It makes the extra money I pay for her schooling and the 30 min drive to get there totally worth every penny and mile on my car. Not to mention all of the friends we have made by going. Such amazing families we have met! I wish I could give more then just a 5 star rating for this place. We absolutely love it!

Our son attended CGM for 3's and 4's preschool. Being an only child, his adjustment to the 3's program took a little navigating but the teachers and director were helpful, reassuring, and patient (with both of us). During the 4's preschool he soared as he learned and developed strong friendships. When we drive past the school to this day, our son shares how much he misses going there. One mom was asking me about the school, and our son chimed in, "oh they have a hill for sledding, we got to grow a garden, watch chickens hatch, learn about metamorphosis (yes he knew and used the word appropriately--thank you CGM!) and set butterflies free, learn Spanish, sign language, yoga, fun art, and play in their giant yard." He left the program reciting his ABC's, writing his name, knowing the months of the year and seasons, reading, and doing math sheets! We decided to homeschool and he pretty much skipped the kindergarten curriculum as he said, "mom I already know all of this stuff!" And, he did. I still refer families to CGM and would highly recommend it if you are looking for a nurturing, loving, fun, and hands on educating environment.

We loved this school. All the teachers are awesome. My son learned and experienced a variety of things. One of the best part about the school is that have a big garden/playground where kids enjoy the most and love doing gardening.
