Luiz (age 3) loves to go to Discovery. He gets out of bed each morning and asks if it’s a "school day". It’s such a relief to go to work knowing he’s happy and in a calm learning environment.

My children (all 4) have had wonderful preparation for future school experiences at Discovery Montessori Preschool. They all love learning and have become appreciative and self-confident.

Removing obstacles to normal development is what we’re all about. The children’s true personalities unfold in a setting designed to unlock their potential. It’s very exciting to see it happen. Ask any of our parents how Discovery Montessori has influenced their children and, ultimately, the whole family.

To whom it may concern,
My child has been part of the Discovery Montessori program for over a year and has had the wonderful oppurtunity to work with different staff, at both the Greeley and Loveland schools. I have seen the benefits of the Montessori philosophy for my child's development, and support whole-heartedly Marla Lloyd and her staff as they make critical decisions in implementing this unique and invaluable educational foundation. I chose to enroll my daughter with the understanding that this philosophy would be adhered to, and have nothing but positive experiences with this choice. My child's growth and flourishment is my best barometer of the programs quality.
Sincerely,
D.L.
Open letter to other parents of the Discovery Montessori School:
My son Kooper has been part of the Loveland school for two years. I am very appreciative of the care and education he has received from the staff. I particularly appriciate the attention and compassion theat Ms. McMan offers to the children at the school. Mrs. Lloyd has created an environment with a set pattern that has helped my son understand how to learn and enjoy playing with the other children. I am grateful for the opportunity that we have at the Montessori School which has allowed Kooper to learn life skills and to develop friendships.
Sincerely,
B.B.
To whom it may concern:
My daughter has been attending the Loveland Montessori School now for many months. She has thrived in this environment and I have been so pleased with both the staff and the facility. We are so fortunate to have someone like Marla who knows and implements Montessori principles.
Sincerley,
C.P.
To whom it may concern,
I am a parent at Discovery Montessori in Loveland CO and am writing this letter because of my positive experiences there. When I was first looking at pre-schools I was very discouraged. I visited at least four "schools" where all the children did was run around in a chaotic environment that was more reminicent of a rowdy daycare atmosphere than that of a learning one. I was so pleased to come across Discovery Montessori and to find a place where my child would actually be learning and using his mind every day, rather than running around in an unruly pre-school. I honestly felt very welcomed and at ease when first visiting Discovery, talking with Mrs. Lloyd who so obviously does what she loves and is passionate about, and observing the children using their hands and their minds in a calm classroom. I can't tell you how relieved I felt to find a place like this for my son. I really wondered why anyone would want to pay for a pre-school that was just a glorified daycare when they could send their child to a place like Discovery Montessori.
My husband and I have nothing but positive experiences this year and are proud to be re-enrolling our son for the next school year. Both my mother and my husband have sat in to observe the class and both of them commented on how much fun the children have and and how great it is to see them doing things for themselves, and really becoming productive little people!
Sincerely,
Kelli Keramidis
To all current and prospective parents of students at Discovery Montessori,
Our daughter, Claire, has been enrolled at Discovery Montessori for over four years. She has thrived at Discovery and enjoyed the challenges of learning French, participating in the Equine program, and completing her Montessori "work" while attending school. She has made wonderful friends with both fellow students and the staff of Discovery. As parents, we have been thriled to watch her confidence and eagerness to learn new things blossom. We consider ourselves lucky to be part of such a wonderful facility. We have felt so strongly about the benefits of Discovery that we kept her enrolled over the past year in the afternoon kindergarten, even though she was also attending kindergarten at Frontier Academy in the mornings. As a weekley parent helper in her classroom, I was amazed to see how much of the kindergarten curriculum she had already been exposed to earlier at Discovery.
The staff and owner have never shown anything but the highest regard for our child, and her fellow students. We know Claire is safe, both physically and emotionally, while at school, where she has always been treated with kindness and respect.
We will be forever grateful to Discovery Montessori for starting our daughter on a lifelong path of joy and love of learning; Mrs. Lloyd and her staff have our complete confidence and support.
Bruce and Liz Willard
