Our son has attended Smart Start Montessori home school since the age of 18 months. He has Enjoyed learning and developing age appropriate skills thought the excellent teaching style of Ms. Catherine. The Montessori methods used in the program have allowed our son to develop skills that have put him ahead of others his age. Also, the program has helped him to increase the development of normal childhood curiosity. Amy and Paul Bloeser
The Montessori method of teaching has given my child a wonderful foundation to begin her academic career. Her teacher has given her a sense of security so that she can feel sure of herself when she begins her formal learning. The Montessori philosophy has allowed Kylee to excel both academically and personally. The work in the classroom has taught her important life skills and has built her curiosity and confidence. Her teacher has been very attentive, nurturing and loving. I would highly recommend the school for anyone who wants the best for their child.

My son was 14 months when he first started attending SmartStart Montessori home school. He is now 26 months old and his abilities have flourished. I'm very impressed with the Montessori style of teaching. My son can count and also recite all the sounds of the alphabet. Under the supervision of the teachers at the Montessori school he has mastered potty training which I feel is directly related to being in class with older children. I believe that that Montessori style of teaching nurtures the kids mind body and spirit. It gives them a sense of self reliance, independence and perseverance. I am very happy that we found SmartStart Montessori school because without them I don't think my son would be as advanced. Thank you Cathy and Greg Mathis for everything that you have given to me and my family and especially to my son Stephen!
The care and education our children have received at Smart Start Montessori is second to none.
They have grown socially, academically and behaviorally through the exceptional environment of the school.
When we found Smart Start, we were at the end of our rope. Our son was being sent to the office at his old daycare on a daily basis. We saw his behavior going downhill quickly and were worried about how he would ever be able to get along in Kindergarten. Thankfully, a friend recommended Smart Start to us. On our first visit, we saw that Ms. Cathy truly has a gift for calming and focusing children. We are confident our son will take the skills he has learned from her and thrive in Kindergarten and beyond.
The quality of care at Smart Start on par with the highest standards in the childcare industry. You will not find a better facility in the area. The skills children receive from their experiences at Smart Start will prepare them for academic and social success in school and life.
Smart Start Montessori knows that the standards other daycare use are ok, but they go the extra mile. Look closely as you enter and you will see confident children deep in study, caring children working cooperatively and happy children laughing uncontrollably. The adults at Smart Start make that possible. They model, guide and encourage the children with their interactions and play.

The Montessori method of teaching is absolutely wonderful. Abigail has just excelled with Catherine and the Montessori school. It is incredible what she already knows. She has been with the school since she was 18 months old and now is 3 1/2 and it has been the very best experience for her. She does very well with a structured day and there is always time for a little play also. Thank you Catherine, you are phenomenal!

"My two year old daughter has been attending the Montessori Program and I have been amazed by how much she is learning, both educationally and socially. I most appreciate that my daughter is learning the importance of values, friendships, responsibility, individuality, along with the academics. I love that the Montessori approach allows children to use all senses to grasp the concrete understanding of an idea or concept. I have been very pleased with the Montessori approach and I am confident that the nurturing and self directed environment will benefit my daughter throughout her education."

My name is Toni Fleming and I am the mother of 3 year olds Braydon and Bryson Fleming "The Twins". My boys have been going to Smart Start Montessori School for about a year now and they've grown so much. I originally put the boys in regular day care, which only lasted a month. My husband walked in on them fighting and the teacher wasn't even paying attention nor has she ever mentioned it to us. We immediately pulled them and placed them in Montessori School. Before they started I had a speech therapist working with them because their speech/communication consisted of screaming. Since they've started Montessori School they have advanced in every aspect from speech to motor skills to behavior. They are able to communicate with us very well, they can sing their ABC's and other musical nursery rhymes, they can count to 10+, they can distinguish some colors and shapes, they can name objects and animals, their manners have improved "yes ma'am and no sir" and they've gained orginizational skills. My husband and I are very pleased with these results and would highly recommend Smart Start Montessori School to anyone!
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing this letter in regards to Catherine Mathis and her Montessori Home School. I am elated to share with you some of the strengths the education there has given my daughter. My Daughter was Catherine’s first student she was 18 months old she is now 4 years old. Catherine is the only person outside of my immediate family that I would trust with the care of my daughter. Not only does Catherine insure the best care for my daughter but the early education that my daughter is receiving is exceptional. My four year old can write her name, she knows her alphabet and can almost count to 100 she is also starting to read site words. I know that her time at Smart Start Montessori Home School is setting a strong foundation for her education.
Catherine has the ability to get all of the children involved and excited about what they are learning. Every day my daughter comes home with something new to teach me from the different parts of a tree to where South America is located. The school has been an incredible experience for our family.
My daughter has not only been challenged academically, but has learned life skills she will carry with her for the rest of her life. Catherine and Smart Start Montessori Home School has truly been a blessing to our family!
If you are interested in sending your child/children to a Montessori School I strongly suggest Smart Start Montessori Home School.
Best Regards,
Samantha Horn
