Excellent daycare! My child has enjoyed his experience at school since day one. I couldn't be happier with the experience so far.
The facility is clean, bright, and full of materials for kids to learn and play with. The teachers are kind, patient, and knowledgeable, and my child still misses his teachers so much after graduation.
Overall, I highly recommend any parent to come and check this place out if they are wanting to give their child the best schooling and care experience!

PMA Ironwood is a gem of a find! As a parent, I couldn't be happier with the authentic Montessori education my child receives here. The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly nurturing fostering an environment where my child feels encouraged to explore and learn at their own paceThe classrooms are impeccably clean and spacious, providing ample room for children to engage in
various activities. I appreciate the attention to detail in creating an environment that's both conducive to learning and inviting for young minds
