Love Notes from Families

Families from all over, learning how to educate and nourish their children through classical Montessori teachings. It’s a beautiful thing.

  • "As someone who has worked in Montessori education for 15 years, I am impressed with the beauty, order, and care that Ms. Clarissa brought to the space. It is clearly a space that invites children to engage with their surroundings and explore their interests while growing in their independence, confidence, and curiosity."

  • "We had so much fun at Star Path! The play space was perfect for my toddler and he loved it. Clarissa was so good with him letting him explore and play. I feel so fortunate to have such a great place so close by. We will definitely be back!"

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    — Mollie

  • "Star Path is THE place we have been looking for: an intentional, welcoming, prepared Montessori ‘playspace’ environment with a big heart. Clarissa is professional and passionate about her work, and it shows in the joy on my little guy’s face when he returns home from dance & movement (“and a picnic!”). There’s a lot of options for programming, and sometimes it feels like none of them are worth the effort, time, money, rearranging...whatever your “but” is for this spot, please don’t sell yourself and your child short. This is also what you have been looking for. Promise."

So far we have participated in the art and cooking classes and really enjoyed it. Star Path Montessori has become part of our weekend routine. I highly recommend it!"

  • "I just want to say Star Path Montessori is the best place ever. My 2 year old son loves it there. He’s exploring, learning and even drinking from a class cup lol. I love it. I recommend this place for parents and their children. Clarissa is amazing with the children and it’s always a pleasure."

    — Ericka

  • "Clarissa has created such a wonderful environment for kids and families. Our kids (aged 2.5 & 3.5) ask to go to "Ms. Clarissa's" all the time. She's nurturing, fun and engaging. As a parent, I also feel like I learn from watching her engage with the little ones! Star Path is a lifesaver, especially in the cold months, when it's harder to get outside to run off the toddler energy."

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    — Nancy

  • "We did our first class today at Star Path (Valentine's day theme) and my girls had the best time ever! Clarissa started the class with a themed book and got the kids excited for fun in the kitchen. She created a warm environment mixed with fun and learning. Immediately after we left my girls asked when can we come back. I'm looking forward to the next session."

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    — Diane

  • "Star Path is a wonderful playspace and we are so fortunate to have it nearby! Clarissa has curated the space so beautifully for the children, and also has kept the parents in mind-with infant care (diapers, changing table, wipes, tissues) and coffee/tea station. She is warm and her engagement with the children is really special to witness as a parent-just enough help so that they feel empowered to exercise some independence."

  • "Clarissa is absolutely amazing. It's clear that she's a pro and has been doing this for a long time -- she is unflappable!! I feel so good about my daughter being in the beautifully-designed and laid out space, and being taught/guided/coached by Clarissa. Star Path makes me feel like I'm giving my [22-month-old] daughter exactly what she needs."

We couldn't stop talking about what a fun experience it was when we left and the 2.5 year old kept asking to go back!"

  • "I’d highly recommend Star Path Montessori! Clarissa does a wonderful job of creating a welcoming and engaging space. My toddler-age daughter especially loved the sensory table and the pouring activity. The whole experience was just the right level of challenge for her, and there were lots of activities that she didn’t have the time to try. We’ll definitely be back!"

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "My 3 year old had a blast taking a cooking class at Star Path Montessori! The class started off with a story about dinosaur fossils and then the kids made cookies, imprinting them to make them look like fossils. While the cookies baked, they were able to play in the play space. Clarissa is so kind and makes everyone feel welcome. We will definitely be back to try another class soon!"
