Hopkins Montessori School

We could not be more happy with HMS. The teachers are truly spectacular, and the environment is warm and inviting. Our 5 year old started there when she was two, and will be going to kindergarten this year with the knowledge and education a grade or two ahead. HMS cultivates a thirst for learning in even the most apprehensive child.
We are moving our second child from an excellent care center / school to HMS as soon as she's old enough this fall.

HMS is beyond our expectations. They truly love and care about our kids. We feel so lucky to have them.

We visited 7 Montessori pre-schools near our home in Edina in 2016 before selecting the Hopkins Montessori School (HMS). We wanted Montessori pre-school education for our 3 year old son, and were very impressed by the creative spaces and lovely environment at the HMS. Three months into the Fall semester, we are very happy with our choice. As parents, we recently observed with pride that our son behaved so appropriately and politely when interacting with cousins of all ages in a big family gathering. Furthermore, his vocabulary expanded so much that his grandma and other relatives commented on it. In addition, we are grateful for the assistance the HMS teachers provided as he transitioned to being potty-trained. They provided the motherly emotional support our little guy needed during his big transition to pre-school. In conclusion, we rate HMS a five-star pre-school with excellent value.

Hopkins Montessori provides a warm and supportive environment to learn in. After touring several preschools, I toured Hopkins Montessori and new immediately that I wanted my children to spend their preschool years there. I could easily see the teachers dedication and knowledge of the profession. It is a family environment, and I feel that the teachers work very hard to get to know each child and customize their learning so each child is successful. The environment is also very organized, inviting and interesting to young children. I would recommend the school to anyone, and there is no where I would rather have my children learn and grow!
