#6 I like the font in green can you make it a little more cursive like the Waseca logo that I attached. Also can you simplify the tree: just three leaves and simpler roots. Drop the tree down into the middle of the words children's and school. The montessori since 1972 in brown and that font looks good.
Thanks, I'll keep on thinking on the other elements! Again, thank you for any feedback — I know I can talk for all designers that it's very, very helpful (and sadly we get next to none if most logo contests).
