“ It is not easy to articulate the extent of our gratitude for Ripple Montessori. As I write this, I am drying my eyes because when our daughter joined, she could not play independently for 10 minutes. She struggled to articulate how she was feeling and would have meltdowns daily. She now speaks parts of Mandarin with our Mandarin-speaking friends, can easily color and play by herself for 30-60 minutes, and freely tells us when she is upset. She is growing faster than any other stage we have seen her. Our gratitude for the work Ripple is doing for our daughter and her classmates extends far beyond the classroom.

We enrolled our daughter at Ripple Montessori in September of 2023. Since then, Ripple has continued to exceed our expectations. Through honest and transparent communication, exceptional student care, and extremely high levels of integrity, we feel most fortunate and grateful to have our daughter enrolled at Ripple. Mr. Lincoln and Ms. Annie have consistently demonstrated honest and transparent communication. Mr. Lincoln and Ms. Annie consistently provide clear and upfront communication through easy-to-follow weekly, monthly, and annual calendars. We always know what is coming with no surprises. They are excellent at informing us of injuries during a school day and sharing quality and insightful feedback in parent meetings. In addition to excellent communication, Ripple’s exceptional student care is apparent in the rapid advancements we have seen in our daughter’s ability to count, solve problems, and communicate. In our last parent-teacher meeting, we were pleased to hear how much Riley was learning, which activities and projects she gravitated towards, how she excelled in each area, and the areas where she could improve.

As Director of Facilities at a local private school, I am keenly aware of the difficulties in creating and maintaining clean and neat spaces in an educational setting. Ripple’s classrooms and grounds are always extremely safe, clean, and tidy, providing a highly supportive learning and playing environment. Mr. Lincoln and Ms. Annie work diligently to maintain the highest levels of integrity. Mr. Lincoln regularly helps to direct traffic during afternoon pickup, greeting, smiling, and waving to families while ensuring student and parent safety by directing traffic. Additionally, on numerous occasions, I have seen Ms. Annie approach students who are upset, kindly listen to their challenges, and support them through their obstacles. We know when we drop our daughter off each school day, she is in the very best of care with people of the highest character. “
