Parent Testimonials

“Our daughter attended Banyan Montessori for 3 years and enjoyed every minute. She recently started elementary school, and the transition was seamless. The director, Ms. Shiva, pours her heart and soul into this school. It’s obvious that the teachers genuinely care about the students. The curriculum is true to the Montessori Method. We appreciated the open communication, frequent photos from the classroom, portfolio of work, and written assessments of her progress. Our daughter has grown academically and has become more independent, organized and confident. “

“Banyan has offered a great experience to our 2 daughters and us as parents. From toddler to pre preprimary we can tell that they are learning so much. The administration uses an app that provides pictures and updates on the daily activities so you still feel connected to your child while they are at school. It is a fun, safe environment for children that we would highly recommend “

“Banyan Montessori is great school for toddlers and pre-K. My 4 year old (2nd year) and 2 year old go here. Main reason we enrolled our 2 year old was because of the tremendous improvement we saw in our elder child. The school is run by knowledgeable, dedicated and loving staff. They are focused on quality education and upbringing of young ones through lot of hands on activities, presentations, social skills and play time. Both our kids are getting phenomenal growth in reasoning, problem solving and communication.”

“My husband and I are both teachers, and we how valuable a quality education is. We searched throughout Livonia, Canton, and surrounding communities for the best school for our son, and we definitely found it here. The teachers are the best! They are loving and supportive of each student. Lessons address the development of motor skills, language, music, literacy, peace, and health. Our 2 year old loves having music and yoga instruction in addition to the Montessori program. This school is definitely the best!! “

“Our son started at Banyan Montessori as a toddler, and we were impressed right away by the care of the amazing teachers who made him feel well cared for. Now in our third year at the school, our experience remains positive. Banyan encourages independence and we have seen our kid reflect the same at home. We appreciate the diverse exposure he gets to languages like Spanish, Hindi, and Mandarin. He loves the art and theater classes, and the monthly public speaking sessions have been instrumental in helping him think, discuss ideas, and present his work. The teachers are patient, knowledgeable, and care about each child’s growth. They are always excited about introducing new opportunities to spark curiosity and engage the kids further. Banyan’s focus on diversity and encouraging peace makes it a wonderful place for children to grow and learn. We love our school!😊”

“We loved Banyan Montessori Academy! From the hands-on learning environment to the multicultural events, our daughter learned from the teachers as well as the other students. She also presented in front of the class each month on a topic that interested her. Banyan has a fantastic curriculum, teachers, and administrator! “

“Very happy and proud parent!! Both of our kids go to Banyan Montessori. We were told about this school by a very close friend. Being first time mom I was so apprehensive to send my son to any school, in fact I even brought him back after day 1 intro class at another school as both of our separation anxiety was through the roof. When we toured Banyan the first visit itself we knew that this is the best place for our son to grow and learn as a whole. Till date we were not proven wrong any day. We also sent our second child to the same school since few months and it has been similar experience. My 3 year old shows immense curiosity and ongoing progress in learning daily practical activities, vocabulary, problem solving, daily chores, discipline. .many more, they encourage independent leaning and have a wholesome approach. I would recommend this school 110%.”

“Our child attended Banyan Montessori Academy for three academic years up through kindergarten, including the summers. We found the Montessori program at Banyan to be developmentally appropriate for our child and the peaceful learning environment it provided played an important part in allowing our then toddler to learn many important skills related to executive function, art, reading, and getting along with other children. Our child was able to graduate from Banyan Montessori Academy with wonderful experiences thanks to the dedicated teachers and staff who were very attentive to our child’s developmental, emotional, and academic needs. We are thankful for Banyan and the education it provided for our child.”

“Both my children attend Banyan, and we love it! My daughter started reading independently at 3 years old. My kids are learning multiple languages and advanced math concepts, and they put on a play every year. They have so much fun, spend time outside year-round, and make friends. We get regular communication about what the children do every day, with pictures. I can’t say enough good things about Banyan.”

“Our experience at this Montessori school has been wonderful! The teachers are dedicated and create a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace. The hands-on, individualized approach has helped our child develop both academically and emotionally. We’ve seen significant growth in their confidence, independence, and collaboration. The teachers are approachable and willing to work with you to resolve challenges that your child may be experiencing in their learning journey. The school’s commitment to allow children to explore diverse areas is truly appreciative; be it daily living, foreign languages, theatre, art, gardening, cooking, care of pets, etc in addition to academics. What we love most is how this school enables older friends to help younger friends with concepts and learnings they have learned. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to send our child here!”
