While I am disheartened to see the negative review here about Anami, I know their light shines bright enough to attract those seeking the absolute best Montessori education in Charlotte. My son is a transfer student from another highly regarded Montessori school and Anami has completely blown us away with not just the quality of the AMI education but the sheer dedication, preparedness, and calm love exuding from teachers and staff alike. We feel very very fortunate to be a part of this special family. The teachers are in consistent contact with the parents and the school essentially has an "open door" policy with access to the Directors and Administrator. My son is glowing every day when he comes home and while he has always been polite (ahem), I have noticed his patience, articulation and thoughtfulness really expand. Today I was an observer in his class and was thrilled to have the chance to see the children at work in such a peaceful yet focused way. It actually gave me goosebumps to see most of them humming or softly singing as they attended to their respective task at hand. Where in the world at any school are you going to see a group of 3-5 year olds so resolutely focused on their work and yet so calm, so polite and so filled with joy that they not only are expressing it through song, but that they are in a safe environment that applauds that? We couldn't be happier and I have to say Anami was truly an answer to our prayers for our children.
