Peaceful Valley Montessori Academy - Golden Valley

11/6/22 around 9:00pm, got off work and headed to Wendy’s for my usual bourbon bacon cheeseburger meal and pineapple mango lemonade. Staff was super kind and my food was promptly brought out after I was asked to pull forward.

My son started at Peaceful Valley Montessori Academy two years ago and my husband and I are so thankful that we found it! We toured several childcare centers before walking into PVMA and instantly knew this was the place for our family. The teachers used calm voices and spoke at the child's level, the classrooms were full of engaging activities and there were no toys with blaring lights and sounds to keep the children occupied. It was the first place we walked into that felt like a place we could call home instead of a center. Fast forward two years and wow has this place changed my life as well. I loved the atmosphere and Montessori philosophy so much that I left my business career behind to get a Montessori certification and become a Lead Teacher here! I can't recommend PVMA highly enough.

I recently visited this beautiful school. It was so calm and all the children were busy doing activities. You could tell the teachers really cared. The homely feel was pretty reassuring for a new mum going back to work.

The sense of community, independence and leadership that our eldest has developed at PVMA is among one of the most impactful benefits.The guides pay careful attention to each child’s needs and development. They create and customize activities and academic work to keep the children motivated, engaged and constantly learning. Both or our boys love school and thrive on the empathy, compassion, and relationships at PVMA.

PVMA is an excellent place for my daughter to learn and build her self-confidence. The staff have created a calm environment that capitalizes on children's interests, and we love that PVMA holds true to Montessori philosophy and practices. We are so happy to have found it!

We love Peaceful Valley! The staff is so inviting, open, and loving. Our daughter Sylvie loves going to school and we feel good knowing that she has fun learning every day! It's such a gift that they get to spend so much time outdoors. She really enjoys the food work and it's so fun when she comes home and wants to show us the new things she learned like peeling a carrot or making bread. She is thriving with all the love and attention and positivity!
