"I knew almost immediately that I wanted our oldest son at Bambini Village Montessori after talking with the directress, Reanna Sarieh, over the phone. Reanna put me in contact with another parent so that we could arrange carpooling. (Of course you know that we turned out to be a star crossed friendship!! We are so grateful to know the Hollquists!!) When I toured Bambini Village during school hours, another parent stopped me on the way in and told me that I will love everything about my child's experience there. I was in awe of the behavioral control and sustained interest each child had. At first, I wasn't sure about my child's progression because there are no work sheets or daily progress reports. The difference was seen in my child's sustained attention in play, the different ways that he played and the confidence that he was so clearly growing. It is very clear that Mrs. Sarieh and Mrs. Oetjen love and respect each child. I've referred to them as 'the child whisperers'. After touring their new facilities, visiting with the teachers and hearing their plans for next year, there is no other place we want our child to be educated."
