    My son attends the toddler class at this Montessori school, and we are very satisfied. The teachers are warm, attentive, and truly care about each child. The teacher–student ratio ensures that every child receives plenty of individual attention. We also really appreciate the consistent updates, including reports, photos, and feedback, which give us great insight into his daily activities and development. Overall, it has been a wonderful experience for our family.

    Amazing pre-school! My son is 3.5 and he he’s been going here for 2 months already. During this time I saw a rapid progress in his development. He comes home singing new songs, he learned several letters that he can successfully write, and he started talking in more advanced and complete sentences. I love that he made new friends and likes sharing with them

    An excellent place for the harmonious development of a child with deep Montessori values. Kids are happy here. Great natural toys, furniture, materials and presents. Montessori teacher Maryna is amazing. She is creative, kind and passionate about her work. Children and the environment are respected here.

    I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Maryna, Luda, and Tania for the incredible support they've given both to our child and to us. My child started attending this school in June when he was just 2.8 years old. At that time, he struggled with significant trust issues due to past negative experiences with previous teachers. However, Maryna and the entire staff not only nurtured him with love and care but also helped him build the confidence he needed to engage with the world around him. Today, he actively participates in various extracurricular activities beyond school, and this progress is a direct result of the wonderful people at UPMS. The environment, the activities, and the classrooms are all maintained to the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. We're deeply grateful for everything they've done to help our child flourish. :-)

  • Julia Kuznetsova

    We are very happy with our experience at this Montessori school. From the very beginning, our child felt comfortable and adapted quickly, thanks to the warm and caring teachers who were always in touch and supportive. He was excited to go to school every day, which really speaks for itself. The classroom is full of interesting activities that help children learn and grow in a natural way. The meals are healthy and home-style, something we truly appreciated. Communication with parents is clear and open, and the director always takes the time to connect with families. We wholeheartedly recommend this school to other parents looking for a nurturing and high-quality environment for their children.
