What Our Partner Schools Have to Say

"The landscape of the classroom looks totally different. It’s a really calm environment. It’s really clear that [the kids] know what to do.”

Montessori Educator

"It’s an awesome opportunity for kids to learn independence and problem-solving skills…It’s really cool being able to bring that opportunity to a school that wouldn’t have it otherwise.”
