We moved to Maine from Minnesota this past March and had been looking for a preschool for Aiden since we moved. We saw an article about Briarwood and contacted the Becker's. They immediately responded and we got a tour of the school and fell in love. Everyone is so kind and generous. We had talked about home schooling unless we really liked Briarwood. Aiden is thriving there. Tim and I refer everyone with young children to this great school and these wonderful people. I would not trust my child with anyone else. His love of numbers is developing and he is sounding our words. He can't say enough good things about the teachers or the children there. We are so happy we found Briarwood and the Becker's and their wonderful staff.Michele Hunt
As our little grandson turned three years old, "Children's House" opened thier doors. After our first visit with Ms. Sandy and her staff, we knew that this was the place for our little one. Since every Montessori school has a very personalized approach, we have found that the best decision our family made was to place Andrew at the "Children's House." Each week we see a wonderful growth in our grandson as he is allowed to dream and explore at his own pace. Briarwood is not just a place to learn, it is part of our family.

I have searched extensively in the southern region of Maine for Montessori schools since my daughter was under six months of age. The director of Briarwood Children's House stood out as very caring and very detail-oriented. Along with strong beliefs in the Montessori way, Sandy believes in postive reinforcement, a family atmosphere and doting care throughout a child's day. She and the Briarwood staff reinforce what I enforce at home by providing a flexible amount of structure and discipline. The growth of my daughter's intellect and behavior has been tremendous in only several weeks. As a teacher of gifted and talented students, I expect only the best and at Briarwood Children's House, parents' expectations are being exceeded on a daily basis.

My daughter just turned three years old and is learning to write her letters in the sand tray at Briarwood. She wants to write her letters all the time at home! She LOVES her school!

We did a lot of research while considering where to place our three-year-old in preschool, then we met Sandy and our decision was made! The staff at Briarwood is very child and family centered. They take time to address each family's concerns individually. The Montessori program is incredibly enriching. Our son has benefited in countless ways.

The best thing I can say about Briarwood Children's House is that it's like leaving my child with family. Her teachers really seem to enjoy her company and we know she is loved when she is away from us. The Montessori materials and philosophy only add to the allure of the program. We really feel that we lucked out getting our daughter into Briarwood when we did. It's a very special place and we're fortunate to have found such a great community of educators for our little girl.

My son started Briarwood's Montessori 1 program at 18 months and he absolutely loves it! Within the first two weeks he was walking to his classroom door on his own and immediately joining whatever activities the other children were involved in. He comes home with new words and skills every week and he clearly enjoys the company of his teachers and classmates. We plan to continue with Briarwood right through the Primary level!
