Both my children have and are currently attending GLM. In the 3+ years they have gone through both the precasa and casa classes and they love it. The teachers and supervisors have been loving, supportive and I truly feel they have my childrens best interests at heart! The facility is clean, well organized and Tina (supervisor) is very organized. The kids are learning so much, and love going to school everyday. I just found GLM when I moved to the area, and am so glad I did! I have no hesitation sending my kids there or recommending them to everyone I know!

My daughter (2YO) has been going to GLM school since May 2021 and I am grateful for finding this place; a safe and lovely environment for our kids. Teachers are kind and they care about our kids. They have a good program and I can see the positive impact it has had on my kid already. My daughter is happy and excited to go to school every day. Her happiness is all I care about.

My son had a great experience at Great Lakes Montessori. The teachers and staff are very supportive and truly care for the overall well-being of my child. GLM also has a thorough education program and will work with your child to ensure they have the right skill set in place for the next phase of school. Hats off to the teachers and staff for their patience and perseverance. Their dedication definitely shows and you will see a bid difference in your child's development. A big thanks to Ms. Audrey, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Ming, Ms. Illuminata, and Ms.Tina for setting my son up for success 🙌.

Can't say enough great things about GLM. Tina G. who manages the location is an absolute joy, and the most patient person I have ever encountered. She has a remarkable understanding of the worry of a parent, never gets upset, just always focused on solutions and ensuring that the kids are safe and that any parental concern is addressed and alleviated. Also, they have a great team of Montessori educators with long tenure at the school. They are all an absolute pleasure to work with and my son's development has benefited immensely. I would recommend this school 100% to anyone looking to enroll their child. Thank you Tina and team for being so amazing!
