Prior to attending Ava Wanas, both of my boys attended home daycare. After one daycare closed and a string of others that didn't provide what I was looking for, I started looking for preschools. The minute I walked in the door and met Marie, I knew my boys would thrive there. It was just weeks before I noted a huge improvement in both of my boys. They are genuinely proud of their work. Everyday, they can't wait to get to school. From the field trips, to hands on learning, to the teachers that love the children as their own. Ava Wanas has helped my kids develop both emotionally and academically. It is such a relief for me to know how much they love to go there!

Our family loves Ava Wanas. This was our boys' first pre-school experience, so I was nervous about how they would adjust. When I picked them up on their first day, they didn't want to leave and have been having fun ever since. The teachers are very loving and the environment is so warm that it feels like a second family for our children. They've learned so much there in just 6 months--academics, life skills, social skills, and independence. Our oldest, who didn't know how to write letters when he started, is now writing full words and is very interested in reading. Our youngest, who has a speech delay, is now talking up a storm and has so much more self-confidence. They both come home talking about their new pals, singing new songs, showing off their craft projects, exhibiting new-found manners, and doing all sorts of things I didn't even realize they could do for themselves. When we toured a few other full-day pre-schools, their environments felt a bit cold--6 ft tall solid vinyl fences enclosing play areas with little grass, tile-floored rooms where kids of the same age stayed much of the day, and staff that attended to the children's needs but didn't seem super-warm. At Ava Wanas, the kids spend a lot of time outside running around amongst the chickens, tending to the garden, getting dirty, and making "soup" out of twigs and leaves on a large, grassy play yard. The mixed-age classes engage in a variety of self-chosen independent "work" as well as group lessons and team activities like baking banana bread, where they take turns grinding fresh nutmeg, mashing the bananas, and cleaning up in the school's kitchen. The older kids take the younger ones under their wing, for example holding their hands and leading them into...

Our daughter started attending Ava Wanas Montessori School when she turned 2. Since she began attending Montessori School it has been so much fun to watch her develop and grow, everyday when she comes home she impresses us with new things that she has learned. We have noticed significant improvement in both her speech and tactile motor skills since she has been attending Montessori School and we couldn't be happier with the education that she is receiving. All of the staff at Ava Wanas is incredibly caring and compassionate and treats our daughter as if she was one of their own children. We have been incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful school for our children to attend and look forward to watching them blossom at Ava Wanas for the years to come!

Our number 1 priority when we moved to Sykesville was finding the best place to care for our child while we worked. Without having family close by, it was important to find somewhere that our son loved going to as well as somewhere he could grow both socially and intellectually. We were so happy to be referred by a friend to Ava Wanas. We have found the nurturing environment we needed and best of all our son loves going!! The Montessori method has our son learning even when he thinks he is playing. He spends lots of time outside exploring the garden, watching the chickens and playing in the dirt too!! School is definitely his home away from home.

We moved here from out-of-state and Ava Wanas not only gave our daughter a friendly and safe place to learn and socialize, they gave us all a sense of community. We feel very lucky to be a part of it
