Our Arkansas Montessori School Reviews
“We love that school. The teachers and office are really nice and take their time to explain anything you need about your child’s education. My boy couldn’t deal with other school and the Montessori hace their own way to work with children. He is happy there and make lots of friends. But more important is that he learn a lot just in first few months. Appreciate it!”
– Vicki S.
“I am in awe with how well my 4 year old has blossomed with learning. He’s gained independence, confidence, and he’s learning so much. The teachers are so kind, and I really like the student/teacher ratio. I am so happy we have this option. My youngest will start next year!”
– Nikki G.
“We are so grateful that the River Valley has a school option like the Montessori School of Fort Smith. Small class sizes, great teacher to student ratios, cultural inclusion, and a desire to meet needs of the whole child are just a few of the reasons we love Montessori!”
– Morgan S.
