I feel very lucky to have participated with my daughter in the infant-toddler program with Ms. Christie at North Star Montessori. She creates a welcoming, engaging environment, where her students learn how to be independent, creative, and resourceful. My daughter loved peeling the eggs for her classmates, and still asks to help at home with the task, even years later! The skills that my daughter learned in the class have made a long term impact on her independence and thoughtful actions towards others. My only regret is that we weren't able to continue as my daughter aged out!

The infant toddler program at North Star has been nothing short of amazing for both my daughter and myself. Ms Christie has created such an inclusive and welcoming space that gave us both the opportunity to learn from other parents and kids in a prepared environment. It was so helpful to reference the lessons in class when we were doing activities a home and to practice the social norms and independence of work and snack time with other children. Being able to ask the every day parenting question to someone you trust to have knowledgeable answers was also invaluable as a parent. After two years in the IT program daughter skipped away into her first Montessori preschool class with excitement and I absolutely credit this to Christie’s program and the smooth transition it facilitated.
Christie is a gem and a true infant/toddler whisperer! I came to Christie's class as a new mom with little knowledge of babies and I left every class re-energized with tools to nurture my son's development. As tired as I was some days, I never wanted to miss a class since my son showed so much progression! My son has now started in the toddler class and Christie has been amazing at guiding him and bringing focus which is not an easy task for a toddler. I can see his development weekly and value the interaction he gets with other children in class. I can't recommend North Star enough, the professional guidance and parent community for my family are priceless!
My daughter has been part of Ms. Christie’s Infant/Toddler program since she was 3 months, she’s now just over 2 years old and it’s still the highlight of our week - for both my daughter and myself. Ms. Christie has developed a wonderful program where parents can witness firsthand their child grow developmentally before their eyes. She has a warm and gentle, yet very effective approach to help guide your child through activities that encourage independence, imagination, and strategic thinking and provides advice and suggestions on how to continue the development at home. We look forward to continuing in this program and starting the preschool program North Star Montessori offers, in the Fall.
Fully deserving of a solid 5 star rating… My daughter attended the North Star toddler class and her confidence, independence and cognitive abilities flourished under Christie’s guidance. She is now in North Star’s CASA program, which has continued to exceed our expectations of what a preschool environment can do for young children’s social and intellectual development. Her teachers are true experts in early education. My son attended the infant class and is now in the toddler class. He has a very different personality to my daughter and has shown similar, positive development, with Christie guiding him in the best way for his natural strengths and personality. Sometimes this means NOT interacting with him, to ensure he develops his personal growth and independence to his full potential. Their educational materials (which he calls ‘toys’) means that he can’t wait to “go to school” and we plan for him to continue his education at North Star as well. I feel so fortunate to have discovered North Star Montessori and have our kids participating in their programs.
