As a teacher from District Music Academy, I utterly enjoy teaching and being a part of JollyPlace Montessori School curriculum. District Music Academy provides JMS their Music program and Yoga programs; where student not only get to have these services once a week BUT twice a week! They truly understand the importance of their student’s education and value the quality of programs we can help provide. Their teaching space is clean and very accommodating.

We could not have chosen a better school gor our two children. The teachers are so loving, understanding, funny, creative, experienced… Ms Ewelina has put together a school that is way more than that. It has become after a year and a half a home away from home where our children are thriving. My 5 year old son has learned how to read, he’s multiplying and has friends from all over the world. My 3 year old daughter has learned to loose her shyness and is now happy to be part of a group of kids that are caring and that help her face her challenges fearless.

My 5-year-old daughter has been with JollyPlace since Fall 2017 and our experience has been all-around positive. We have been very impressed with the school’s founder/director Ms. Ewelina’s passion and dedication to early childhood education. The teachers are very caring, the curriculum is well organized and balanced, and the facility is new and clean!
The teachers respect each child’s individuality and work patiently with each child to spark their joy of learning from within. They also offer music, drama, Spanish, soccer and taekwondo classes and let the children to be exposed to different activities. The school also organizes different social events such as parents learning nights, seasonal festivals and holiday celebrations to bring the community together. We are fortunate to be with JollyPlace.

JollyPlace Montessori’s mission is to provide a safe and encouraging learning environment for your child. Ms. Ewelina and her staff believe that the educational methods developed by Dr. Maria Montessori are the best means of helping children reach their full potential. I have known Ms. Ewelina in the past when she worked at the Boyd School as a early childhood educator. When I visited her school, the warm and inviting environment immediately caught my attention. Montessori materials filled the classrooms and my heart was full as I saw very happy children engaged with the educators: one of the best experiences I had visiting an early childhood Montessori school. Berthold Academy would be honored to continue working with JollyPlace in the future.

My daughter is about to wrap up her third year attending JollyPlace (both school year and summer camp). I cannot say enough about the warm and welcoming experience that the school and teachers have provided to both my daughter, my husband, and myself. I attribute much of her learning and social development to the school and teachers. She is very well postured to be successful in Kindergarten this Fall. Sincere thanks to the entire staff!

It was such a pleasure

It was such a pleasure to visit and observe in the classrooms today at JollyPlace Montessori School! Being a Montessori teacher myself for 20 years, JollyPlace was one of the best Montessori schools in every way that I have seen! The classrooms were beautifully prepared and arranged; the materials were inviting and in excellent condition; and the staff and children were genuinely happy and engaged. Seeing ‘Montessori’ in full action is wonderful!
