Testimonials

First off, they really, genuinely care! Everyone who I’ve met who works at Dancing Pines is kind, patient, passionate and loves and believes in what they do. When you combine that with what I can only explain as a magical location, in a beautiful red farmhouse on acreage with the sweet farm animals… you get a great environment for learning and growth.

It was a great experience, and Trace has learned so much this year, setting a solid foundation for his future.
Lower Elementary Parent
Our daughter has gone here for a year and she loves it so far. 3’s program on a farm and she’s learned so much. We are excited for her to do her 4s program this year and even more so that she has a friend wanting to enroll also. They teach the kids so many skills I didn’t know a 3 year old could perform. The self learning discovery style has been great. Teacher Cheyanne left and we will miss her. Nonetheless we are still excited for our daughter to have her next year here. Her little broth…

I wish we would have signed up sooner, this is a very special school.
Upper Elementary Parent
Dancing Pines Montessori was an extension of our home during our daughter and son’s formative years. There is a true partnership between the teachers and parents in developing the whole child. The environment, philosophy and execution of the lessons create a strong foundation for the students to become lifelong learners. Students are encouraged to have a voice, building their self confidence, while nurtured to help form their awareness as a budding global citizen.
Terrada Family
The teachers are so loving and thoughtful about each individual student. Using the Montessori Method, each child is able to move at the pace that is right for them. The teachers also look for opportunities to let the kids teach each other. For example, one of my kids has mastered one of the “works” that teaches multiplication, so the teachers will often ask him to teach other kids how to use it. It reinforces what he has learned and also teaches him empathy and patience.
Teachers at this school are effective
We have loved our time at DPM and will miss the wonderful friends and teachers there.
Primary classroom parent
My daughter attended the pre-K program here for 1.5 years (started mid-year) and also did 2 summers at the camps. She entered as a shy 3-year-old and really blossomed, leaving at just shy of 6 with a strong personality, good friends, and great academic skills. She has always picked up reading and math easily, and here she was allowed to move beyond the basic counting and letter sounds she had mastered at 3 and entered kindergarten reading at a 1st grade level (based on kindergarten teacher’s ass…
Primary classroom parent
Our family had a truly wonderful experience with DPM. Over her time there, Julia grew in ways that felt both meaningful and natural. She had the chance to connect with nature every day, and the farm setting became an important part of her learning. We also felt incredibly fortunate for the teachers who cared for her with such attention and kindness. Their presence made a real difference, and we always felt she was supported and understood. The school community itself was consistently respectful …
Lower Elementary Parent
What can I say? This school has given my son a stellar education, friendships, and social / emotional development that will last a lifetime. Thank you for the incredible learning environment and experiences. We will miss DPM so much!
