What Parents Are Saying
“Our daughter has only been there for less than 3 months and she’s already picking up more words than her friends who don’t go to Amici and picking up Spanish as well which we do not speak at all at home!”
“We absolutely love this daycare! Our baby has been attending since she was 6 months old, and we couldn’t be happier. The teachers are wonderful with communication and are truly passionate about caring for the kids. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our baby is in such a loving environment. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Our daughter goes here in the toddler class and she really enjoys school! She’s already saying a few words in Mandarin after a couple months. It’s hard to find a Montessori that also teaches language immersion. Highly recommend!”
