Testimonials

"Mayflower is a joyful community for children and for families. Every classroom is a beautiful space for children to explore a wealth of Montessori materials. The gentle, patient demeanor of the teachers allows children to thrive and grow in their independence. It is amazing to see how confident the children are and how peaceful a daycare can be!"

“I knew I wanted to be here the moment I walked past the courtyard with the trees and happy staff and children.  The staff has always been very supportive of my children’s development.  They are passionate and committed to the Montessori work here.  I’ve made many lifelong friends with other parents here.  It’s a warm, tight parent community.”
