Autana has been a wonderful experience for our family since moving to Colorado three years ago. Our oldest two are currently enrolled and we will enroll our youngest as soon as he is old enough. The heads of school are wonderful humans and incredibly knowledge Montessori teachers and leaders. They care deeply about the children in the school and hire competent, warm and loving staff.

We were unsure about Montessori pedagogy when our oldest was starting school but we’ve seen the impact it’s had on kids, who learn very differently and each have their own ways of doing things…but have both thrived with the Montessori approach and we believe it has enabled them to become their own independent, capable, curious and kind kids.

Autana also is one of the most diverse environments we’ve been in and that’s a beautiful thing, especially here in Colorado.

My son has attended Autana for a year and a half, and we intend to keep him enrolled at the school until he's ready for elementary school. The Co-Founders of the school work closely with the staff to create a nurturing environment for the children to learn and thrive independently. When our child goes through major developmental changes, the team actively participates with the parents to support the child and family. We're very grateful for the Autana learning environment and community, there's nothing better as a parent than to see our child walk into school confidently and with so much joy every day.

Autana is a wonderful school environment where the Montessori practices are thoughtfully curated and followed. My two sons both attended, one in toddler and one in primary, and they thrived. They developed independence, a deeper awareness of the children and environment around them, and thoughtful behavior that they carried with them at home and beyond. Raquel and Patty are very passionate about the experience of the children and the environment and community they work to foster. You can feel how heartfelt they are and the love they have for their work. They try very hard to find teachers that align with those values and that are Montessori trained which can be very difficult. Communication is key, in any environment, and as a parent it was helpful to ask questions when I needed clarity on something or had a desire for my children’s education and experience. I am thankful for our experience at Autana and the care they show our children.

We adore this school. Both of our children have started around age 2 and gone through to the end of their program. As an attachment therapist I know the importance of schools that understand early childhood attachment and also motivation through positive and compassion oriented methods (rather than rules and shame). I can't say enough about this school's focus on healthy attachment and building the foundation for confidence and empathy. We are so grateful for Autana.

We love Autana Bilingual Montessori! All the teachers & staff have exceptional qualifications in early childhood education. Our daughter has been attending Autana for just over a year now & we can say without a doubt that moving her from a daycare to this school, was the best decision we've made for her. She is happier, more stable & has developed so much as a confident, independent toddler. Our son will be attending this school as soon as he is able because we love this community & everything that Autana has provided for our daughter. Thank you Patty & Raquel for your heartfelt investment in building a thriving environment for the youngest generation in Boulder county!

We have been a part of this magical, warm, amazing community for over 6 years now. I cannot express what this place means to our family and how much love everything about it. We feel so honored to have been a part of this community for so long. Patty & Raquel pour their hearts into this place and breathe such love and life into it. They care deeply about education, Montessori, and the health & well-being of each and every child. We love this place, always will.
