I love this school SO much. Amazing, caring, highly educated teachers and staff. They go above and beyond for the children. I never fear for my child’s safety the way I have at public schools or even other private schools in ormond beach. My son has such a great time while being able to retain the information because Montessori offers such a wonderfully unquiet teaching style. Highly recommend.

After looking at other daycares, I finally found this Montessori!! Since the first day our little baby came back from spending a day over there we felt a difference in his character (he was more awake and aware of his surroundings). My baby is 4 months now, but he’s been going since he was 8 weeks. Being a “Montessori kid” myself, I knew what they stand for, and I knew this was going to be an amazing environment for him. The women who care of the babies are AMAZING, it really shows that they love and know what they are doing , and most of them are bilingual (which was a big bonus for me since I want my baby to be bilingual). Also, Dr. Ambar is very “hands on deck”. She makes sure every baby and parent are happy and comfortable. The facility itself is so beautiful, and since the first day I walked in I felt at peace. My baby is so happy every time I leave him so it makes it much easier and puts me at peace of mind knowing he’ll be ok. I would 100% recommend this school!! So if you’re on the fence on whether to put your kid in this school do it because you won’t regret it!!

As of now MGRI is the only AMS accredited Montessori school in the area! According to the AMS visiting team report, they were "blown away by the devotion, steadfastness, and courageous heart" shown by Drs. David and Amber Cipolloni, the founders. They also commended the teamwork of Sophia Dorman and Amal Saleh, and the faculty fervent about what the day will bring. My daughter's activities have been carefully monitored, logged in the system, and evaluated periodically. I thank all the faculties for the hard work. Special thanks to the Elementary teachers: Mrs. Gonzalez, Ms. Davis, Ms. Alder, Ms. Bessette, Ms. Smith, and Ms. Perez for nurturing my daughter's independence and love of learning!

Disappointed and frustrated! After conducting a tour of the facility with the head of Admissions & discussing our LOs specific needs, we were assured that MGRI would be a nurturing, enriching, and safe environment. We were also advised the external supports were permitted on campus. Unfortunately, it was the opposite. Our LO came home with bruises, barely ate and was emotionally distraught. We were told on the first day of school that the external supports were also not permitted. When we addressed our concerns with the head of the school, we were told there were no reports about the interactions with our LO when in fact there was unsupervised interaction with older kids that resulted in physical and emotional harm. I can go on about our interactions. This school is not welcoming to all children. It is welcoming to specific children that meet their criteria.

We love MGRI! Our daughter has attended for about four years now, from daycare to pre-k and on in to elementary school. She loves school and looks forward to going every day! She was writing her name and teaching me words in Spanish at three and was reading pretty fluently at 5. We couldn’t be happier and plan on sending her baby sister very soon as well. They’re very accessible and address any issues or concerns quickly. They’ve really become a second little family to my daughter and we are so grateful for them!

I started sending my daughter here about 2 years ago and have watched her thrive ever since. Her vocabulary has expanded greatly, along with her social skills and confidence. The faculty is all very communicative with what is happening on campus and how my child is progressing. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to send our daughter here. We look forward to having our next child start there, eventually!

I couldn’t ask for a better staff for my children. This place is amazing. Very clean. They are very caring. My children love going to school here. They never want to go home. I don’t blame them, check out the play ground. 😁

This school is amazing, we have been taking my sweet boy for more than 2 years now. I first took him there when he was 6 month old. Now, he is almost 3 and he absolutely loves his school. We have the extended stay from 730 am to 530pm. We have great teachers that are very attentive to my child and our needs as family. Mrs Atheer is my baby’s favorite teacher. He has learned so much with her and she has teached him not only academic things, but also a lot in manners and everyday things. He is bilingual, so having bilingual teachers is also a big plus for us. The school is very covid aware. The classrooms are just beautiful and very well equipped. The playground is big and spacious. The infant and pre primary rooms are distant from the bigger kids classrooms which I really appreciate. We love the montessori way !
