Montessori Foundations of Chicago

I am proud to share I have worked in this prestigious school, Montessori Foundations of Chicago. MFC is not just a school but a home. 1 year of working with the beautiful Staff, Teachers, Families, and Children in MFC is enough for me to attest that MFC is a family of diverse, loving, respectful, thoughtful, kind, approachable, helpful, friendly, intelligent, funny and admirable wonderful people. The staff and teachers respect, support and help each other in different ways. MFC is 100% believer in Maria Montessori’s approach and religiously practices them. MFC works hard being there to help the child develop the love to learn at their own pace but most importantly guides in shaping their own character socially and emotionally to become RESPECTABLE, INDEPENDENT and RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUALS. You want your child to learn to be independent and proactive through Maria Montessori’s methodologies with school work, life and their self, MFC is the best school for you! I am proud to share, my Primary 2 class is filled with children not just smart thinkers but caring boys and girls, solves their problems creatively but also plans and hosts fun parties! I highly recommend parents and teachers to be part of the MFC Family. The only reason I am flying away from this awesome family is to be with my new family, my husband. I am thankful for the wonderful, precious experiences and memories I have shared with MFC, staff, teachers, families and most especially the CHILDREN. If you think you are awesome, you belong in MFC. If you don’t, MFC will make you become one and feel awesome! Like one of my students sing everyday from the Lego Movie, “Everything is awesome... ????”

My son has been here for 4+ years. He is now entering the elementary program. I credit much of his growth to the school. He loves going to school and learning. He reads well above his age and does so because he wants to, not because the school tells him he has to. The Montessori method has a way of building confidence in kids that makes them to genuinely want to succeed for themselves and the love of learning by expanding on a kid's naturally curious mind. He brings this attitude not only in school but rather anything he does. At such a young age(3 y.o) not all kids are ready to do math or start reading for example, but the Montessori method allows kids to learn when they are ready rather than force them to start reading( or math etc) thus creating a distaste for it because it's not their right time. The staff are trained in the Montessori method and know how to implement it the right way. We are proud to say our son goes to school there.

All my kids went to this daycare. I love the teachers here and also their Montessori philosophy. We just went to my friend's kid birthday party last week and I'm so proud of Claire when she being such an independent girl during the time at my friend's house, Wesley too. They just did everything by themselves: eating ,cleaning up,washing hands,peeing,putting on their own shoes.... They only 2 and 4 yrs old. My friends so surprised that they can be so independent at this age.I'm the easiest mom even with three kids. I want to say thank you to all the teachers and Ms Beata for providing such a wonderful daycare. I will definitely recommend this daycare to everyone i know.

At an extremely reasonable price the education they provide is invaluable, for your kids and the adults.
You won't find this kind of help anywhere else. Think beyond what you know, outside of your comfort zone and then you'll understand how smart your kids really are and what they are doing and why. They brought out the best in my kids and continue to do so to others. The teachers, aids and director care about your kids as if they were their own. This is not daycare, so their expectations from you as a parent are high, as they should be, as you should be involved in their education. This place will always be with us.
