What Families are saying about PROVIDENCE MONTESSORI SCHOOL
"As the parents of two students at Providence Montessori School as well as being a small business owner myself, the commitment Amy and her staff have to their community especially in this time is unparalleled. Amy and the teachers have been giving their time to ensure the children are kept top priority. Through online class meetings and checking in via emails and phone calls they have made sure the children retain a sense of normalcy. On top of that, Amy partners with community businesses throughout the school year. Whether its donating to the SPCA, creating a community garden with a local landscaping business or having the kids do a meet and greet with the Collegeville police department, she consistently utilizes local businesses to create innovative educational opportunities for our children."

“PMSH has supported my family from the day my daughter turned 9 weeks old. They provided the things we expected: safe, attentive care, but also way more than that: assistance when my daughter required early intervention services; tips for setting up a good sleep schedule while she wore a helmet; advice for everything from feeding to potty training; and support a first-time mom needs one often can't find. The director and all of the teachers go out of their way, and beyond responsibility or expectation, to ensure the success of each student. They have created a sense of family, within the school and in the surrounding community: through fundraising and events, but also personally when our family was struggling to make ends meet. Being part of this Montessori school has set my daughter up in a way that I don't believe another site would have: she is independent, confident, social, and happy thanks to Amy and PMSH. PMSH is more than a daycare; it's a continuation of our Montessori lifestyle. The director and teachers have gone above and beyond in every way to create a family and an environment where my daughter, and each student, learns to work and thrive socially and independently. The students are taught their own value and the value of the people and community around them.”

“Providence Montessori has been such a wonderful program for our almost two year old. We see her using all of the building blocks that they teach her here in are home. This upcoming year we have plans to now send our 4 year old son. We know that he will thrive at PMSH. We couldn’t imagine not having this school for our children.”
-John & Holly A. from Eagleville
“The teaching staff at PMSH has been able to bring out all the capabilities in our son. The one area that they have helped him develop the most is his confidence. The staff has always supported, encouraged, and challenged our son to a level that we are impressed with on a daily basis. The "practical life" style of teaching is helping our child to be prepared to deal with any form of real life situations.”
-Amy B. from Collegeville
“Providence Montessori School House has been there for my family, and has been a part of my family, since 2015. I cannot imagine entrusting the care of my 3 children anywhere else. Amy Augustine and her team of dedicated, caring teachers put their heart and soul into creating an environment where our children not only learn and play, but grow and thrive. Their approach to the Montessori method instills independence, leadership, creativity, kindness and most of all - community. Amy has given me the confidence to continue being a working mother, with all of its challenges, by supporting us with flexibility, security and encouragement knowing that our children are loved, safe, and becoming better people each day. I could not be more grateful for all that PMSH does for the families, parents, and children that are lucky to call this school our home.”
-Marci P. from Collegeville
“Provide Montessori provides the environment and support to encourage kids to believe in themselves and meet their full potential. They learn to be confident in their learning as well and realize the impact they can have in a world with learning about challenges others face in the world and how they can help.”
-Caitlin B. from Collegeville
“It is difficult to describe the impact PMSH has had on not only our son, who is a student in their preprimary program, but also our family. With our son having been born severely prematurely, we knew he was prone to certain delays not typical for other children his age. With the knowledge and experience of the staff combined with the care they have for each student, PMSH has helped our son flourish along with the other students in his age group. Amy proactively met with our family as an advocate for Zach. Because of her knowledge and genuine care for Zach, we were able to adjust his Early Intervention Therapies to better suit his needs and help him flourish. Their staff have become more than just teachers, but trusted friends and advisors as we watch our son grow through each phase of early development.”
–Jacob and Jessica B. from Bridgeport
“We spent some of the most amazing and perhaps some of our most challenging years while attending Providence Montessori School House. While our son went through 3 years of Chemotherapy treatment for Childhood Leukemia, they worked in overdrive, every day, to provide and ensure he had the safest and most accommodating environment we could have ever hoped for, all in the name of keeping his life outside of medicine as normal and supportive as humanly possible. They quite literally helped us save his life by keeping his mind and his sociability engaged while maintaining the hyper heightened sanitary conditions around him and simultaneously ensuring he didn’t miss an academic beat. Moreover, their commitment to including the children in activities and initiatives that financially support the community every year – for example SPCA, Unite for Her, CHOP KOP – works to instill the type of character we aim for all of our children to embrace. The support, encouragement and educational experiences they helped provide will never be forgotten in our family. We are grateful for their contributions to Lucas’ development and providing the platform where we have connected and established lifelong bonds with friends and families.”
-Mike and Karen M. from Schwenksville
“We have two boys at PMSH and from the moment we entered the doors, we felt like we were a part of their family. Amy’s approach while showing my son a Montesorri activity during our tour left my husband and I in awe as he completed the task with her guidance, so proud of himself. At PMSH, he has learned more than just academics, but life skills and core values such as setting the table and taking care of oneself and surroundings. In our first year, we were welcomed with open arms and embraced by the families and teachers in the PMSH community and their names have become household names and we can’t wait to see them all again.”
