Open Quote We cannot recommend Nia House highly enough. Our daughter started in the toddler class with Alexis right after she turned 2. I was nervous about her transition into school after being at home, but the teachers and directors could not have been more welcoming and supportive of all of us. My daughter is thriving there, and it's been such a pleasure to watch her independence and confidence grow by the day. The children are so respected by everyone there, and really given the space to learn and explore their environment at their own pace. Every single teacher I've observed has been loving and wonderful with the kids the classrooms and outdoor spaces are intentional, calm, and lovely and the overall parent community is wonderful, supportive, and diverse. We feel so lucky to have found Nia House, and highly recommend it to all parents! Close Quote

Open Quote Nia House has amazing, dedicated teachers, and applies the Montessori Philosophy and positive discipline with all children. My daughter is thriving here and truly looks forward to school everyday. As an early childhood educator myself I was very picky about where to send my kiddo, but can not say enough good about Nia House. The parent community is also welcoming and involved in the school.

Open Quote We cannot say enough positive about Nia House. Since our daughter started almost a year ago in the toddler room at 20 months of age, we have been immersed in the NH family with care and support. This center provides the highest standard of early childhood education through the Montessori principles of care for self, care for others, and care for the environment. Our daughter has formed trusting relationships with multiple adults, clearly communicates her needs and wants at a early age through verbal communication, and has learned to self-advocate and problem solve independently at an advanced level. Our family is daily grateful for the care and education we all receive from the loving and dedicated educators at Nia House Learning Center. Close Quote

Open Quote Nia House is an amazing place !! The teachers and staff are really well-trained, incredibly thoughtful, smart and loving. Because of their scholarship program, it is socio-economically diverse/mixed in a way that is rarer than it should be. But most importantly, our son has grown in so many ways in his time there (in his ability to express himself, in what he can do, in how he relates to other children and adults) and seems genuinely happy to be at Nia. We joined Nia in part because literally every parent who had contact with the place raved about, and many months later we absolutely agree!! Close Quote

Open Quote Nia House is an excellent preschool. The more I have sent my daughter to Nia House the more I am blown away by how incredible it is. Even small things that I wouldn't have even have thought to want in a preschool - they have. My daughter has been attending Nia House for a year. She is a social and curious little one. The school environment has met her needs and met my needs as a parent. It is so well-run, highly communicative and the staff truly cares about the children and are so mindful about the details concerning them. I send her to school knowing she is in a safe place. The staff are also mindful about healthy foods and creating an environment that will foster independence - but not in some weird way but in an empowering way and other values that are important to me. My daughter is now one of the oldest children in the toddler class and I am seeing how the school is really fostering leadership skills and kindness. I also saw that when my daughter went through a period of time that she was biting the school placed no blame on her but looked at what could be the circumstances that were creating biting. The staff has excellent communication skills and honors children's too! I highly highly recommend. Get on the waiting list as soon as you can! Close Quote

Open Quote Nia House Learning Center is a Safe-haven for children. We have been apart of the Nia House family for 2 years now. My 4 y/o son loves his teachers and his friends. We are very happy with everything that Nia House provides. It is a very loving and caring environment, wouldn't be happier anywhere else. Close Quote

Open Quote Nia House has been a home away from home, for not just my girls but our entire family, for about 3 1/2 yrs now. You will not find a more compassionate group of teachers and the education is extraordinary! The community is so welcoming! Last year all the children in my eldest daughters class moved on from Nia House to began Kindergarden in other institutes and we decided to let her complete her Kinder studies (final year) here. She was extremely sad at the thought of loosing her group mates, however, in this year she has learned the value of lesson and challenge. She is so proud to be a leader in her community, she comes home teaching me things I never knew. By far the greatest decision we could have ever made to pave her educational path. Nia House is early childhood Montessori at it's best!Not only do they take the time to educate our children, once a month Eve, Lead Teacher Nicole and the rest of the staff, host parent meetings where they provide classic Montessori training. They also make it very easily affordable for families by providing amazing scholarships for those whom qualify. This school cultivates brilliance and the proof is in every child that attends. I would highly recommend scheduling a visit to come see for yourself. Close Quote

Open Quote Nia House has been an awesome place! Aside from the beautiful setting, Nia House has really helped my son cultivate and reap the benefit of learning who he is while academically fortifying him with many tools. I am a pre school teacher myself and am constantly awed by the respect and empowerment given to the Nia House children by ALL of their teachers. The director and lead teacher create a customized experience for every student, making you feel that your family's needs and wants are of the utmost importance. Even when I have voiced concern or dismay about things I have been respected and shown love and appreciation for my insight. During these times I was also given action plans that empowered both the school and my family to work together to replace our concerns with trust and comfort. My son is a second generation Nia House child (me being the first ;) I have seen Nia House change for the better over the years and in my opinion it is at a peak. Nia House is the epitome of Montessori in it's truest form. Maria Montessori's philosophy is upheld by teachers through continued staff development and implementation of academia via play through work. Children learn to be intentional with their learning prioritizing their interests while also learning to co-exist safely and happily with one another and their environment. We truly love Nia House and feel that same love in return, our son is thriving! He is celebrated, loved, respected, and being taught outstanding values and lessons! Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
