”At 18 months she is far more advanced than we ever anticipated. She knows her colors and some shapes and has started singing her ABC’s. It’s truly remarkable to see her development and we can definitely attribute it to all of her teachers and the wonderful staff at Apple Montessori. We made the right choice.”
