Montessori schools in Portland region? (Brunswick, Bath: house, preschool, move to)

[riley49]

We plan to move to the Portland region next year. Does anyone know of any Montessori preschools around Portland and area towns? I found Winfield Children's House online and hope to take a tour during our vacation this summer. Any feedback on that school or any others? What about the Quaker school - Friends School of Portland? Also any feedback on any other preschool - positives, negatives - would be so appreciated!
Thanks!

If you choose to move to the Brunswick/Bath/Topsham area, which is more affordable but still has a lot to offer families, a new Montessori just opened this year in West Bath. Follow the Child Montessori School, on State Road. Even though they are new, they have a great reputation.

The Quaker school is also relatively new. Being a friend myself I may be overly biased but I thought the years of Quaker education I had myself were the most valuable to my mind and character development. Though any new school has aches and pains getting started this school has the bonus of having a very experienced headmaster (not sure if that's the term they use there as I am new to New England Quakers) that I believe headed up one of the larger Friends schools in the Philadelphia area. I had many friends who attended that school and loved it.

I'm sure both schools are great. I had my son attend Winfield for two years. It was wonderful. The owner, Michelle, was SOOO nice and informative.
We just loved her and all the teachers!!
I highly suggest a visit there. They just added a new building this year. Really nice. My son was reading books to me when he was in preschool.
My wife and I were so impressed that we sent our daughter there this year.

Good luck!

(I should also add that the reason we originally chose Winfield was after my wife made SEVERAL visits to area Preschools she fell in love with Winfield and the staff)
