What Parents Say About Us
“We have sent our two boys to MST and have nothing but love and respect for Dee, Patti, and Kristen. Our boys have flourished at MST over the past years and are continuing to flourish both academically and socially. Dee has been so incredible during the pandemic with keeping our children safe and adhering to local and national guidelines. We feel incredibly safe sending our children to MST. As physicians, we appreciate the science-forward/evidence-based practices they have adopted during the COVID pandemic. Our children love MST and their teachers wholeheartedly, as do we.” Camille Mellijor-Figg and Jonathan Figg
“Montessori School of the Tetons was like a second home for our daughter. She was encouraged to explore, be independent, foster real world skills, and build strong relationships with the staff and the other kids. The deep pedagogical knowledge of the staff, as well as the genuine love they have for the kids, meant that Zoe’s academic learning and social growth during her time at Montessori was exponential. It was a joy to watch. I know she had the best start possible for Kindergarten because of her time at this school.” Karyn Chin
“Zoe’s time at Montessori also happened to coincide with the pandemic. The care and precautions the staff took were superb. Not only that, but the extended Montessori families also took health and safety seriously. This meant our children had virtually uninterrupted learning and consistent social and emotional support, not to mention parents had reliable childcare. It cannot be overstated how important this was for our mental and physical health during an incredibly challenging time.” Karyn Chin
“Where to start? Dee is a wonder woman and has had a profound influence on our family. We thank her for every single thing she has done to positively shape the lives of our 4 small people. They are crazy about Ms. Dee and will never forget their Montessori time with her.” Alli and John Liljestrom
“I wanted to take this opportunity to say what a huge blessing it has been to have you in both my son’s and my life. I know you understand how hard it is to have to leave your child in another person’s care for the majority of the day. You made it as easy as it could possibly be for both of us to be comfortable doing that. You have done exactly what teachers strive for – you have enriched a child’s life through education, caring, and support. The extent of our gratitude is so strong that it is hard for me to express in words. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Babbs Weissman
“There is not much we can say other than thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. We are so grateful and lucky to have such a wonderful school in our community. I only wish our daughter could continue past Kindergarten with you. She has flourished under your guidance and wisdom.” The Koehlers
“We are very grateful to you for giving our daughter a strong and healthy foundation for learning. We fell blessed to have been able to give her the opportunity to go to your school.” Peter and Libby Wood
“We have two enthusiastic, intelligent, sensitive sons, and you are counted in our minds as having contributed to them both.” Roger and Kathy Brecheen
“You are the best! We hope you all know how much we appreciate what you do for our child. We love the changes we’ve seen in him in the last eight months. I love coming in to your school because you emanate calmness. Not only do the children mirror this, but I like it to rub off on me.” Caroline Meyers
“We never say thanks enough for all you do for our son. You will always hold a special place in our memories of Jackson and our son’s early childhood. I couldn’t have enjoyed my teaching job if you hadn’t been there for all of us.” Diane Boatwright
“We have been so happy with our daughter’s experience at your school. It has enriched her and will have a lasting effect.” Sheila and Ken Lipe
