La Mariposa Montessori is a wonderful school. I have two children, 3 and 10 , and they both absolutely adore school. I hear about their love of learning every day, and get to see the impact this school has had on both of them during the summers when they are demonstrating their independence and desire to know more. All of the staff and teachers are warm and welcoming to my children and I- they definitely get to know each student and each parent and offer a very inviting environment. I have a great respect for each teacher and every other staff member. This truly is a wonderful school!
