“Our 5 and 7 year old daughters have been attending Blue Lotus Montessori two half days a week for nearly 7 months, as an enrichment program to our homeschool curriculum. Mrs Nara is absolutely wonderful, attentive, and nurturing and our girls always look forward to their time with her. Her knowledge of the Montessori Method is extensive. Her classroom is always safe, neat and clean, and she provides a large variety of materials that is constantly being updated. My children are never bored as they are continually being challenged yet never discouraged. I love that my girls are being exposed to a variety of learning materials that would have otherwise cost me a small fortune to have for them at home. The growth of our children over the last 7 months has been tremendous in the areas of academics and in their confidence and independence. We are so grateful to have Mrs Nara and Blue Lotus Montessori.” ~ Brittany & Shaun Wagoner
“My 4 year old twin girls started at Blue Lotus Montessori with Ms. Nara for her summer phonics program. Over the summer with Ms. Nara, my girls developed such an interest in phonics and learning that we stayed on with her for her fall program. My girls absolutely love her and look forward to going to school every time. Ms. Nara is so sweet and calm the girls really absorb what she is teaching them. She is very aware of their needs and pushes them when they are ready and receptive and knows when lighter enrichment activities are needed. As a parent I feel so comfortable when my girls are with her because I truly believe that she enjoys being around my children almost as if they were her own.” ~ Amy Niven
“Ms. Nara completed her 9-month long Montessori internship at my school, Little Sprouts Montessori, in Kansas City. She added tremendous value to our program with her dedication to embodying the Montessori philosophy. She created many beautiful lessons and amazing art projects for the children. She is truly a five-star educator: hard-working, loving, and extremely talented!”. ~ Natalie Reeder
“My daughters were fortunate enough to take sewing classes with Ms. Nara a few years ago, and they loved it! She is great with kids and knows how to keep them engaged and excited about what they are learning. She is kind and gentle and an overall excellent teacher. My daughters really enjoyed being in her class and learned so much. I highly recommend Ms. Nara as a teacher!” ~ Johanna Cramm
“My daughter attended Ms. Nara’s sewing class for one whole year. She learned to sew and gained a lot of confidence in her abilities. The class setting was very structured, yet calm and peaceful. Ms. Nara always made sure each child got her undivided attention. I think Ms. Nara is a wonderful teacher and we are very grateful for being able to participate in her class.”
