“One difference we found at Spondeo and Montessori in general, is the focus on helping the kids not just from an education standpoint but also focusing on the overall wellbeing and emotional health.”

“Selecting a school is a TOUGH decision and I am the first to admit how picky I am. Knowing that, I can't recommend this school enough. Our child has been at Spondeo for two years and the way they have thoughtfully fostered his growth and development makes me forever indebted to them.”
