What People Say About Us
"First you are captivated by the brand new, bright, state-of-the-art facility itself. Then you are captivated by the director, Tina Patel, and her obvious passion for children, for education, and for using design and environment to enhance the "Prepared Environment" which is a cornerstone of the Montessori approach to education. If you happen to come by for a tour at the right time, you may even catch a glimpse of the preschool yoga class!"

"It would be easy to put a monetary value to your gift to us, but that would not include the tremendous value of the education that you are giving to our son. The depth and extent of everything he is learning is not something you can put a price tag on! We are so excited for him and can't wait to watch him flourish. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

"Montessori ONE is a fantastic place for children to grow… My children have learned everything from life skills, such as cleaning and preparing food to the fundamentals of the sciences and arts. I am confident that when my children graduate, they will be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead."

"Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about Montessori ONE Academy. Our daughters are enthusiastic about life and learning. They are growing into responsible, independent, thoughtful, intelligent people. The instruction is top-notch. The administration is open and responsive to feedback and questions. The facility is world-class. We highly recommend Montessori ONE Academy to families considering private education and interested in an alternative to the traditional classroom dynamic."

"A question most parents struggle with early on is the question of child care. When my husband and I were faced with this decision as our daughter approached her first birthday and I needed to return to work, the process of finding a preschool felt daunting and overwhelming. We wanted the time our daughter spent away from us to be spent in an environment that was supportive, affirming and challenging. We didn’t want a daycare; we wanted a school. We visited many programs in Albuquerque, and I left each one feeling disappointed and wondering if I should just quit my job and stay home with my daughter. Then we discovered Montessori ONE Preschool Academy. When you observe a classroom at Montessori One, you observe a unique child-centered environment. You see a collaborative partnership between the expertise of the child and the guidance of the teacher, passionate educators who have an understanding of every child’s individual development and who have done so much to foster our girls’ growing independence and potential. Knowing that our children are in this stimulating environment during the day and seeing the incredible social and educational growth resulting from the time spent at Montessori ONE fills me with overwhelming gratitude."
