“….When the pandemic hit in 2020, Ms. Osato spared no expense to ensure the children could continue their education, first virtually (she hand delivered cleaned and sanitized Montessori materials every weekend to our front door!) and then in a safe, separated, and extremely clean in-person environment. My daughter NEVER got sick during the pandemic.

And this is not to mention the level of education that my daughter received. She could explain gravity at 2-years old and was doing advanced math equations….”

- Barr. Ashley Young.
