This year I enrolled my shy daughter into Irvine Montessori. My daughter is just excelling so quickly, I am so excited for her. She's making friends, gaining confidence and the dance program is sparking love for music we have never seen before. The staff is very considerate. Her teachers and everyone know her by name and are committed to her academic enrichment. I know we chose the correct school. We have watched her build her confidence and now we have already planned for her little brother who starts next year.
Fantastic head start for your children. I have 2 1/2 year old that has been attending for a little 1 year and we feel like we have given him an excellent head start in life. He counts, sings, and talks non-stop. He has an active imagination, and I believe it is a result of the school's focus on having creative time and time to learn about other cultures. The staff is attentive and communicates well with the parents. I would highly recommend Irvine Montessori for parents wanting more than just daycare.
What a disappointment!!! The staff is uncaring and unresponsive when parents have honest concerns and questions. Our experience was horrible at this school. Save your money!!
great school with a staff that works with the whole family, not just your child! The all inclusive tuition is such a relief after having to pay all the hidden fees I've found at other schools. The waitlist is extensive, so think long and hard before turning down an opening, as your only likely to get one chance (learned the hard way with my older daughter).
My son has been attending Westpark Montessori for a year now. The teachers are very effective with the children and there is no chaos when you walk into a classroom like some of the other preschools I have visisted and research. My son loves going to school everyday and has made great progress in the one year he's been there.
They have the greatest teachers!!! Very loving and caring. They would answer any questions that i had about my kid. I would recomment this school to all the parents
I cannot say enough about this school. My son has been attending Northwood Montessori for the past 2 1/2 yrs and he absolutely loves it! He tells us every night he can't wait to go to school. The teachers are top notch and the environment is loving and nurturing. My son has learned so much in just 2 1/2 years......way way beyond what we ever expected. I would highly recommend this school to a parent looking for a preschool or kindergarten for their child. The long waiting list and high tuition is definitely worth it!!!!! It just doesn't compare to your typical preschool. This school is like Havard for little ones!!! But the kids love learning here! It's the best school!!!
This school has alot of 'fluffy' but lacks the amount of care that is needed for the things is boasts about. Save your money and put it towards you kids college fund where it will be useful ! Sure this place is clean and 'seems' to have a dedicated staff but behind closed doors its a whole other ball game. Even if you complain about something reasonable then you're labeled the 'crazy' parent. Also, do a credential check of some of the teachers, you'll be very surprised at what you're getting for your hard earned $$. Some do not even have an AA and are basically certified nanny's who have been 'trained' through an extension course a monkey can do by paying for it! This is an honest review by an honest parent, please be careful before following the 'hype' about this school.
Wonderful teachers who provide young scholars with great skills for success. The inidividual attention is excellent.
