Testimonials
I would like to take this opportunity to write in few words my experience with Country Hills Montessori.
My son has attended Country Hills Montessori for the last 2 years and my daughter has been attending for about a year. I could not be more pleased with the complete education that they have received from the very beginning. My son was two and half year old when he started and he was just thrilled to go to school. He has flourished in the small, orderly classes and has benefited tremendously from the individual attention received from his teachers. My daughter has also started flourishing since she has joined Country Hills Montessori.
It was, by chance, that I decided on sending my son to Country Hills Montessori, since it was closest to my home and my place of work. But I thank God that this has been one of the best decisions for my children for the rest of their lives. Country Hills Montessori has built a strong foundation for my children and I can experience the same in every day life.
Since my son started attending Country Hills Montessori, I noticed that there are several schools that call themselves “Montessori” but do not follow the Montessori teachings by Maria Montessori. But Ms. Tanya, the owner of Country Hills Montessori, is a true to following the spirit and letter of Maria Montessori’s approach. All the lessons that my children learn are individually planned and the most important aspect, is the emphasis on social development depending on the age of the child.
In addition to the close adherence to the Montessori Method, there are several other reasons that Country Hills Montessori is an outstanding school. Some of them are, the high teacher-student ratio, close monitoring of classrooms by Ms. Tanya via her camera system, emphasis on daily nutrition – meals are cooked in-house, teachers keep me posted well on my children’s progress, the school is very well kept and clean, for outdoor activities, the students have access to play park as well as a mini water-park open during summers. My children love the water park; it helped them get over their fear in swimming pools.
I am very pleased with all the enrichment activities provided as an option to the students such as music classes, Tae-Kwon Do classes, Gym classes and much more. My son and my daughter love Ms. Rose, their music teacher and they are more confident while reciting their music in front of my friends and family. To conclude, Country Hills Montessori provides an all-around education to my children, so that they can develop intellectually, emotionally and with maturity right from the very beginning.
I would like to thank Ms. Tanya and her entire staff for providing a home outside of home to my children.
Sincerely,

Dear Tanya
I want to take this time to say how much I love Country Hills Montessori School . I love knowing that my children are products of your school. When Andrew originally started your school his talking wasn't up to par, but when he graduated Kindergarten he was adding, subtracting, multiplying and reading. How proud that made me is beyond words. Also, when I was pregnant I knew that this child was also going to be a product of your education. Recently I had to take my 2yr old Andrea back to the Doctor for an ear infection and he stated that she is talking like she is 4-5yrs old. I advised the Doctor that she is going to school at a Montessori.
Country Hills Montessori to me is like family. I always know my children are in good hands when they are at your school. I love the staff. They are caring and loving. Most of all they love their jobs and it shows.
I can't tell you how many times Andrew asks if he has school so he can come to your school. I can't Thank you enough for all the time that you invested in my children to make them what they are today.

Dear Parent
My son Alex is five years old and is currently finishing his time at Country Hills Montessori. He has attended this school since just before his fourth birthday.
Country Hills is an excellent choice for any parent who is concerned about giving their child the right start in academics and childcare. Alex has excelled far beyond what I ever had hoped he could have for a child his age.
The owner, teachers and childcare staff are, in my opinion, very qualified, nurturing and professional. I have been extremely pleased with the care and education that my son has received. It has given him a solid foundation that I know he will carry with him throughout his school years.
I highly recommend Country Hills Montessori for any child.

Dear Miss Wendy & Miss Tanya
I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for all your work and time with Jujju. You have been instrumental in getting him out of his shell, I can see the difference at home. I can see that he is getting personal attention. He is learning so much from you, he shows me all the art/craft work that he did during the day when he brings them home. He is even speaking to me in Eng1ish (We speak in Tamil at home, not English).
Jujju likes familiarity and needs time to adapt to changes. I thank you for the flexibility you offered in his transition from the toddler room to the pre-school room. I would also like to express our gratitude for your thoughtfulness and support throughout his sickness for the past couple of months. I am able to go to work peacefully without worrying about how Jujju is doing, knowing that he is in good and safe hands. I also like it that you give me the updates on him when I call sometimes during the day. I look forward to his growth with you for the next 2-3 years until he is ready to start first grade.
Warm Regards,

Dear Prospective Parents,
Our son Rahul started at Country Hills almost two and a half years ago when he was two. More than anything else, we have been deeply touched by how truly loving and caring the teachers here have been.
Rahul has had difficulties in learning to talk and in his social interactions and is still behind his age group in many respects. The teachers at Country Hills have worked with us to help us understand and address his problems and have provided Rahul with a nurturing environment in which he is steadily making progress and is beginning to speak.
Over the course of two years we have often had to change Rahul's schedule to accommodate my job changes or Rahul's attendance at a special ed. preschool. Country Hills has always been extremely flexible and helpful in adjusting to our needs.
We have had difficulties with Rahuls adjustment to his other school and feel lucky to have a place like Country Hills where is he is happy, wonderfully cared for and able to learn in his own way at his own pace.
If you need more information please feel free to call us at 248-471-0611.

Dear Tanya,
As I promised, I am writing to let you know how Matthew is doing at Pine Lake Elementary. Although he is in the first grade, he is participating in second grade curriculum and interacts with second grade kids, and he is so excited about school everyday.
I appreciate how hard you worked to make a difference in his life everyday, and I know a few other parents that I had the pleasure of meeting that had continuously felt similar along the entire way. I'm sure I do not have to tell you the challenges a parent faces at work and home, but somehow, always knowing that Matt was in your loving and educational care made my life, and his, just that much easier. I'm glad that I entrusted him in your care since age 2 through kindergarten, as his current achievements and communication ability is exceptional.
Please thank the teachers, each and every one of them, for their unbelievable talents, patience and smiles. I will bring Matt for visits, and he can already hardly wait for summer camp at Montessori again. Thank you again, and God Bless you for what you do.
Sincerely,
