I want to share with you my wonderful experiences of Patience Montessori in the event that you are looking for a phenomenal school/day care.
They accept 6 weeks old – 6 year olds. They offer heartful, intelligent, gentle, and loving education/care. Patience Montessori is a family owned facility, which teaches not only the finest Montessori education principles, but also has an inter-cultural atmosphere. You’ll hear music from around the world playing and see art everywhere from different cultures. It’s like stepping into a school reflective of our world, not just our town.
I cannot say enough about the staff. They genuinely care about each and every child and treat the parents and children with the utmost respect.
Our children are our most precious gift, and I can only imagine if Montessori is something you are drawn to, you will LOVE this school.

We love Patience Montessori, at 28th and Kalmia in Boulder! It is fairly new, so kids get lots of personal attention, and the teachers are fantastic. They are open year round, accept kids infant through preschool-age (4 or 5, I think), offer part-time options, great hours, affordable fees, and have no waiting list right now. It’s hard to find a Montessori for younger kids, I’ve found, and most other daycares and schools have waiting lists, so we feel fortunate to have found such a great gem of a school for our 17 month old daughter! I think their website is www.patiencemontessori.com, or you can contact me for more information. Hope this helps!

Hi,
I was in your same situation with going back to work full-time when our
son was 12 weeks old. We have settled on Patience Montessori and he
was in the infant room there when they first opened and he’s now in the
Wobbler room. I’ve been really happy with the school, the staff,
Patience and the methods they use with the children. I can honestly say
my son has learned more in 1 year of being there than I would have ever
thought I could teach him. It’s been fantastic.
The downfall I have to any environment outside the home is I think my
son does get over stimulated. He comes home many evenings cranky and
tired and frankly, I think it’s just over stimulated. But, he’s
learning a ton and we just ensure he gets to bed plenty early to allow
him to rest and typically he wakes up happy the next morning all over
again. For those of us who have to work, it’s important you find a
place you feel comfortable dropping your child off each day.
The only other thing I would recommend is to visit the schools/daycares
that you are interested in and get your name on the wait list for those
that you feel strongly about. If I can help you with any other
questions, feel free to email me directly.
And, congratulations on your pregnancy!

You really ought to include Patience Montessori on your list as
well. At almost 16 months old, it amazes me what my son is able
to do based on things they have taught him already at his
“school”. It is wonderful. Best of luck in your search!

I must agree that Patience Montessori is wonderful. My 3.5 yr. old
started a few weeks ago and we are extremely happy. The head teacher -
Kate is just fabulous. I would highly recommend checking it out.
Good luck.

I will third Patience Montessori. My son LOVES his teachers and
loves going to school. It is a wonderful place!

I really wanted to express how happy I am to have Kaleo at your school. He’s grown tremendously and it’s been a joy watching him learn from all the kids in the classroom. I commend whoever made the decision to hire Marisa and Irina for the infant room. They both are fantastic and so dedicated to their work and to the children. I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you again for all of your hard work and I hope you have a wonderful and restful break. See you next year!
