When we moved to Boise from across the country, my biggest worry was about finding the right fit for our child.
We hit the jackpot with Lakewood and his teacher Ms. Cecelia. We have had 2.5 years here and if they had grades beyond kindergarten, we'd never leave!
When we started at Lakewood, our child took time to get comfortable and the loving and experienced staff were so patient and understanding. Now, we have a confident and engaged kindergartener.
Lakewood has provided more than just a loving and supportive learning environment. It has fostered community, provided support to us as parents, and also set the bar impossibly high for any future school our child attends!
The staff at Lakewood so clearly love the children in their care and are committed to developing the whole child. There is a huge commitment to being true to the Montessori model and ensuring staff are trained in this method.
On top of all that, the school has fantastic grounds with shady play space, gardens, and quail!
I could not be happier with our experience at Lakewood--unless they let us stay forever!

Lakewood Montessori gave our two children exceptional early learning experiences from toddlerhood through kindergarten and became a truly special community for our whole family. From the very beginning, we felt how warm, welcoming, and nurturing the environment was, with a strong focus on meaningful learning.
Mary, Karen, and their wonderful team of teachers consistently went above and beyond to support our children and set them up for success—we are truly grateful for the care, dedication, and heart they bring every day.
The teachers are highly qualified, experienced, and clearly supported with ongoing professional development, which shows in the thoughtful, high-quality learning happening in each classroom. The school itself is beautiful and intentionally designed, offering a rich environment where children can explore, grow, and enjoy plenty of time in fantastic indoor and outdoor spaces.
We especially appreciated the strong sense of partnership with families. Opportunities for connection—like community events, PTA involvement, and parent-teacher conferences—made us feel engaged and supported every step of the way.
We couldn’t recommend Lakewood Montessori more highly and feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of such a caring and inspiring community.

I don’t even know where to begin describing how wonderful Lakewood Montessori is. We’ve had two children attend Lakewood and have truly experienced everything the school has to offer. From the beautiful outdoor spaces and inspiring art room to the dedicated teachers and supportive administration, every part of the school reflects genuine care for both education and the well being of each child.
Our two children have completely different personalities and learning styles, yet both thrived during their time at Lakewood. The environment nurtured their confidence, curiosity, and growth in ways that have shaped them positively far beyond the classroom. We are incredibly grateful for our experience at Lakewood Montessori and the lasting impact it has had on our family

My son attended Lakewood Montessori for about two years and we absolutely loved it. The teachers were all kind, knowledgeable, attentive, and fun. Karen and Mary are wonderful humans who clearly care deeply about the children that attend their school. I admire the overall Montessori model, and I loved this specific school's commitment to the model as well as outdoor learning (the garden was my son's favorite and helped put him on a path of loving vegetables and herbs)! Your children will be well cared for at Lakewood Montessori!

I could not recommend Lakewood Montessori more. This small community truly cares about your child. The teachers are wonderful kind souls. Most important for us was a consistent main teacher due to good staff retention. My son was over prepared for kindergarten and truly a better little human because of Lakewood.

We loved Lakewood! The teachers were amazing and so was the administrators. You truly feel like every person loves your kiddo. Would absolutely recommend taking your little there. They are focused on learning at a pace that’s right for each child. Lots of hands on and outside time!

Lakewood Montessori provided a great start for our 2 children, they fostered a welcoming environment that focused on safety and education. My two boys were very fortunate to begin their educational journey in a place that promoted their curiosity and allowed them to learn academics and everyday skills they’ll carry on throughout their lives. I highly recommend Lakewood Montessori!
