“My daughter is very happy at MSCS.  I love the warm community atmosphere, and how much creativity & nurturing are integral to the school and classroom.”  

“My son has been attending Mountain Sun for a year now and we have seen a tremendous change and improvement in his ability to express himself, communicate his feelings, negotiate rather than act out physically, and an increase in his innate self awareness and confidence. I have noticed a tremendous amount of patience and kindness shown to all the children at this school by the teachers (who have extensive training in early childhood ed and Montessori teaching methods) and staff. The children's experiences in the outdoors, classroom time, art/music, around the peace table, with Montessori materials (sensory/verbal/science/motor skill), field trips to local farms, forests and art studios, have proven to be an incredible opportunity for our young children. They are exposed to other people, situations, and locations in the community of Brevard as well as the Mtn Sun community. This is an incredible opportunity for our children to grow and learn in another context than family, and different from other preschool experiences we have had. We are thrilled to call Mtn Sun our school, community and family.”

“The environment set out by the intention of the school and teachers fosters safety, community, and fun.  My child is extremely sensitive to how peaceful and genuine the people and setting.”

"We have seen such a huge difference this year in my daughter’s love for school, self-confidence, and general interest in learning.”

“Hats off to Mountian Sun! My son loves to go to school each day! As a mom with a great deal of excitement about how my child experiences his world, school must really be extraordinary. I have been so delighted sending him to school knowing his learning will be fostered from a perspective that fits his style. I did not have to guess about this I was able to see it in action, as the teachers took video and allowed us to see how our children are enjoying play and learning. We, as a family, feel a sense of community that is building with the rest of the families attending the school.”

“My son has had an extremely delightful first year at Mountain Sun, both academically and developmentally.”

“We just moved to the Brevard area last summer and feel so fortunate to have found this school. We were looking for a school with a strong sense of community and commitment to nurturing all aspects of our kids - academic, physical, spiritual. Mountain Sun has exceeded our expectations. There is a strong emphasis on the outdoors and the seasons and it's a beautiful thing to watch our three year old's appreciation for these things grow. She could not be more excited to go to school every day. She's learning lots of new things and also growing as a friend to her classmates and as a member of a larger community of teachers and adults. Julie, Becky and Shana have an obvious love for and unique understanding of each child."

“We chose Mountain Sun because of the staff, the freedom the children have to explore and move at their own pace and be their own person.”

“I love The Mountain Sun Community School, but more importantly my daughter does too!! It is an absolutely amazing feeling to drop her off each morning and trust 100% that she is in the best place for her. It is so wonderful to see how much the teachers care about the students and to see how much my daughter has learned and grown. It is a beautiful thing to witness your child squeal with delight when she realizes it’s a school day.”
