My son started this week and it has been the smoothest transition for him. He feels like he is at home. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality childcare for their children.

I can say with 100% confidence that enrolling our son here is one of the best decisions we've ever made for him. The staff and the Kangarootime app are my favorite parts of this place! Ms. Jasmine, Ms. Regina, and Ms. Kara....you are AMAZING and the RVM is so lucky to have you!

"This is the first school for our son and it has been a great transition."
We have really seen the progression of how comfortable he is with going to school and the excitement of seeing his friends. The facility is clean and the teachers are friendly. RVM is timely when it comes to sending updates and communication.

"River Valley Montessori has been so beneficial for my child!"
It’s amazing how much she has grown and developed in the short time she has been there. The staff is excellent; very caring and responsive! My daughter will actually ask to go to school, which to me, speaks volumes on how much she likes it! Highly recommend River Valley Montessori.
