Quotes from Parents

“After sending our children to Village Montessori we continue to be impressed with the level of practical skills they have learned from Jules. With diligence, compassion, patience and respect, she routinely brings out the best in her students. We were curious as to how such spirited children would respond to their first year in a classroom environment, but sure enough, within a few short months they were thriving and extremely proud of their accomplishments. As parents, it is so rewarding to witness these skills being reflected in all aspects of their lives. Equally important is that Jules is a wonderful support system for parents too. On countless occasions she has helped us maintain our sanity and humor with her thoughtful advice and insights.”

“Jules Layman is like a scientist and each child is like a new scientific mystery. She observes each one and develops a hypothesis that fits her observations. Once she thinks her understanding of the child is as accurate as possible, …she works with the parents to formulate an individualized plan to be implemented at home and at school.”

“Our daughter started the school year as a reserved, quiet shy type and ended the year a more confident, boisterous and most importantly, self-sufficient little person. Village Montessori helped to build her confidence and to do things by herself.”

Cathy & Matt Stanley

“I wish for my daughter everything that my son gained from being a student in your school as it was such a wonderful year for him. You taught him so many valuable skills – for learning and for life – and have introduced him to so many new passions.  I feel so lucky that my children were able to start the long road of education ahead at your school.”
