This school has a very soft spot in my heart! The amount of love and care Margaux Overbeek and her team invests into every child everyday is admirable! #blessed
Over the past 4 years, Joyspring Montessori has become my little boy's "home away from home." He absolutely loves Margaux and her team, and "Ouma Sophie" who used to care for him in the baby class is still his "Ouma Soph." He loves the activities on offer in the beautiful classroom environment. He is exposed to practical learning, which he loves. They teach age appropriate independence. He loves going to Joyspring Montessori and is excited to see everyone every morning - some days he does not even want to come home 🙂 . I am so at ease and at peace leaving him in the Joyspring team's care. Thank you, lovely team, at Joyspring Montessori for loving my boy and making his time in your care so lovely and enjoyable.
Dear Margaux, Vicky and Heather! I was pretty emotional this afternoon so I did not say much! I just want to say that I could not have asked for a better school to look after my little girls. When I decided to put Klara in a school I knew I could not put her in an ordinary school. I had to put her in a enviroment where she would be excepted for who she is and not forced to be ecxactly like the rest of the kids around her, but be ok with who she is and have voice! She loves all of you so much! It was such a hard decision to take her away from your warm hearts, and I am sure she will beg me to go back just as she did this week. But only time will tell, we looked long and hard for a school where we thought she might adapt to easily and I am sure she has learned so much from you that she will thrive in the future! Thank you for helping me shape this little girl into the strong little angle that she is! You will most definetly be missed by her! Liezel and I will see you next year!
As a parent, I cannot recommend Joyspring enough! My daughter has been attending for several years, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The staff is incredibly warm, caring, and professional. They truly go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, loved, and supported. My daughter comes enjoys going to school, and do not want to leave her friends on certain days. The facility is clean, bright, and well-equipped with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. I also appreciate how they keep us updated with regular communication about her progress and daily activities. What stands out the most is how much my daughter has grown since starting here. Her social skills, confidence, and curiosity have blossomed, and I know it’s thanks to the nurturing environment and thoughtful curriculum. If you’re looking for a place where your child will thrive and feel at home, this is it! Thank you, to everyone at Joyspring, for being such a wonderful part of our lives. We’re so grateful! Highly recommend to any parent!
I would definitely recommend this school to anyone. They are loving and caring, treating the little ones with so much warmth. They have brought my son out of his shell - giving him a place to go that has as much love as at home. He found his person in miss Josephine and loves going to school. His mood after school just shows you how happy he is there. His development is just as amazing, seeing how much he takes in from his time with teacher Thandi. Margaux is open and welcoming, so friendly and understanding whenever you communicate.
Putting our 2 little girls in this school was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Fantastic school. Thanks so much for shaping and educating them so well.
We are so grateful we found Joysprings Montessori for our son! After researching many preschools, we knew Montessori was the right choice for him, and Joysprings has exceeded all expectations. Since starting last year, we've seen incredible growth in him, both in his learning and his development. The teachers are phenomenal—caring, dedicated, and truly passionate about nurturing each child. I feel completely at ease leaving him there, knowing he’s in a safe, warm, and homelike environment, which means the world to us as parents. The school also stays true to the Montessori approach and hosts regular parent information mornings, giving us great insight into how and what our son is learning. As a mother who always believed in the Montessori method, I couldn't be more pleased with our decision to choose Joysprings. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch early education experience for their child!
