“ Lotus Montessori Academy has been a dream come true. It was founded in 2019 right before the pandemic hit. We were extremely blessed to have been able to keep our doors open and to keep our staff and children safe. One of the things that makes Lotus such a special place is how tightly knit we are as a community. As the founder of Lotus Montessori Academy the most difficult part of the journey is seeing staff and children come and leave. We have had many applications that we weren't able to honor because we are a micro school and our belief is in keeping the numbers low so that we can give each child and family the attention they deserve. Starting any business is no easy task and when you find people who are willing to hang in there with you, and you see the mission come into fruition, It makes it all worthwhile! "
