We looked at many preschools, but none of them felt quite right until we toured SJMS. The staff is extremely conscientious, engaged, and dedicated to the children. While many schools claim to be Montessori, many don't actually adhere to the principles very closely. SJMS is a true Montessori school, taking the time to not only practice the Montessori method but also to educate parents about the method. The school is small, just two classrooms with two dedicated teachers in each classroom, so the student-teacher ratio is quite good. If you're looking for a Montessori school that prioritizes the experience of your child, look no further.

    Our son attended MAC from September 2024 - June 2025…read more Teachers: We started our son in the green classroom (18 month old start), and he had Ms. Saideh and Ms. Jackie. I really like Ms. Jackie since she is warm towards the kids and is open to giving them a nurturing presence. Ms. Saideh seems a bit colder. I remember during the tour, before my son attended, I asked Ms. Saideh her favorite part of her job , and she looked at me and said that her favorite part was when the students were not crying and instead, were behaving. She didn't smile or laugh, which to me, indicated that she wasn't joking. Her communication wasn't the best either. When there was a glitch in the sign in/out system or if I had forgotten to sign in, she would wave towards me and say "you didn't sign in! You forgot. You need to remember to sign in." I get her point, but saying it in that tone doesn't build good relationships with parents. Positive: I will say that in the midst of our time here, Ms. Biridiana was incredible. She was so kind and loving towards my son and I always felt relief whenever I saw her in the morning, because I knew my son would be in a loving environment under her care (she does the early morning care before 8:30 AM). She would ask me questions and show care for the parents. She and Ms. Jackie were the teachers and staff that really stood out to me. Tone at the top: there is no question that this school is structured quite well and organized quite well. Their calendar is meticulous and they are quick to send parents notifications of upcoming events as well. That said, the verbal communication style is different from ones I've had in the past. There is a certain amount of formality and professionalism, which can be helpful, but also there is an overall lack of warmth. For example, when I ask the Director, Ms. Svetlana how her vacation was, her response was curt, "Good. Yours?" She was responsive, yes. However, that sort of a curt response doesn't generate a feeling of community nor does it build relationships. Unfortunately, MAC does not emphasize social emotional learning, and it is very obvious on the playground next door. I actually have to hover over my child (2 year-old), because at least a handful of times, several students at MAC have pushed him on the playground (both intentionally and unintentionally). The other parents, instead of prompting them to apologize or leave the playground, instead, threaten their kids to leave and get upset with them, but end up staying at the playground. If you care at all about social emotional learning, this is definitely not the school for you or your child. Also: if your kiddo needs diaper cream or has sensitive skin, you will need a doctor's note for even aquaphor to be applied 1x. I asked the reason for their no diaper cream policy and their reason was that if they let us have aquaphor then it would be unfair to others. I still am baffled by this policy. They did cooperate by not giving my son citrus that may irritate his skin, but c'mon now - how harmful is aquaphor? I know other centers that have a one-time physician form that parents fill out that can include aquaphor or desitin, etc. When I was touring this place, Svetlana made it seem as though the waitlist was quite long. I asked if putting in a nonrefundable deposit and paying for the entire month of September when his start date would be September 23rd would help. She said it would. I made that choice because per the reviews it seemed as though this place was worth paying for the entire month of September when he started so late that month. I regret that choice now.

    We absolutely love MAC! Our family has had the most wonderful experience here with both of our kids…read moreover the past two years. The school puts so much thought and effort into creating a safe, nurturing, and truly welcoming environment -- it feels like a real community. The teachers are amazing -- caring, patient, and deeply dedicated. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, helping children build strong motor skills, develop healthy routines, and grow with confidence. The school also hosts fantastic events throughout the year that bring families together and make learning even more fun. We're beyond grateful for everything MAC has done for our children and couldn't recommend this school more highly!

The teachers are very caring, generally speaking. If you're not Asian, you may be put off by the cultural piece. We know a couple of kindergarten girls who had a hard time adjusting to how strict the teachers were. While they are strict, they are also very loving and caring. Miss Jerri, the Director, is incredible. She truly cares about each kid that walks into that school. She honestly transforms this place every single holiday. When you are working parent, you don't have the time to decorate your house, so the magic is not really as alive as it could be. At Little Tree, it almost feels magical. For Thanksgiving, for instance, they host a feast for the kids. They also take photos of your kiddos, and send them to the parents during holidays. We had a couple of behavioral issues coming up, probably because the ratio of adult to kid isn't the best, but they were addressed immediately and with good communication. Our daughter does not speak Mandarin at home, but other people think that she is bilingual, based on how well she has learned Mandarin. She even did a solo during the performance! I highly recommend this place. We wish they could offer a pick up service from Oster, but they do offer a pick up service if your school is in the Campbell area. We are moving away, so are devastated that we won't continue at Little Tree, but highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mandarin afterschool program!

Throughout our years there we have been able to work closely with a majority of the primary teachers -and they are all amazing. Attentive, warm, thoughtful, patient, kind-they encompass all of the traits that I believe are important for teachers to possess. Both of my children have different personalities, and they were both able to thrive in the primary programs. The school provides a safe and loving environment where they are able to explore their interests, develop friendships, and master early childhood skills (like reading, writing and mathematics). The school fosters and promotes new interests, and they do a wonderful job of teaching the children so much more than just academic subjects. My children have learned about and been exposed to different cultures (their holidays and foods for example), countries, plants and animals and how to take care of their belongings. The school also has a wonderful sense of community-they offer multiple events throughout the year where all the families can come together, they host singalong events biweekly where the parents can join, and they make it very easy to be involved with the school as much (or as little) as you like. If I ever have a question or concern the teachers/head of the school/staff in general have always made me feel heard, and like my opinion is important. My entire family has benefited from our time at Casa (in more ways than one), if you are considering a Montessori education or looking for a primary program then I highly recommend visiting this school.

    Aloha Montessori is a gem…read more I would like to start by pointing out that this preschool offers something no other preschool I know of does - weekly swim lessons with trained staff members at Maki Swim, which has been a neighborhood institution for years. The children eagerly running in at drop off and being sad to leave is a testament in itself. My son is enrolled 3 days a week and the days he's not at school, he asks to be. The outdoor play area is beautiful and full of fun activities, I love how all of said activity centers and structures (teepee, playhouse, swings and many more) are set up with the intention to promote team work, sharing and inclusive games. The area is very green and they are working on a school garden come the warmer months. The kids absolutely love outside time - which they get plenty of! Inside - the cosy, newly remodeled classroom holds heaps of Montessori activities, puzzles, sorters, toys, books and everything the kids could ever want or need. It's set up as a home with all the conveniences and comforts, which instantly puts the kids at ease and makes them feel very safe and welcome. Ms Maggie makes each school day an adventure. She ensures that while the activities are child-led, they are also structured, developmental but fun and hands-on throughout the day, be it indoor or outdoor. Aloha Montessori lives up to its name - children learn kindness, sharing, inclusiveness but also assertiveness, problem solving and critical thinking and are encouraged to be independent under the watchful eye of Ms Maggie, who has been working with children for over 35 years and the moment you meet her, you realize she's personally invested in each and every single child she has worked with, continues to work with and has yet to work with in the future. Last but not least - the location, 'Aloha' is conveniently located a stone's throw from downtown Campbell, which makes running errands and getting shopping done after drop-off a breeze.

Ms. Jas, Ms. Yuen, Ms. Lori, Ms. Janet, and Ms. Edith have all been incredibly patient, supportive, and intentional in helping my daughter grow. She started off quite resistant, but they helped her feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home in the classroom. A special thank you to Ms. Jas and Ms. Yuen, who have put so much effort into nurturing her interest in desk work and helping her develop positive classroom behavior in the Montessori style. I genuinely appreciate the environment they've created--one where I feel completely confident leaving my daughter each day. I also really appreciate the strong security measures in place, including the two code-locked entry doors before entering the school. When my in-laws have picked up my daughter, staff have always checked their ID cards and matched them to her authorized pickup list before releasing her, which gives me great peace of mind. She now runs in with big hugs every end of day, which says everything about the loving relationships she's built with her teachers.

He was not the easiest child at the time--he was nonverbal and had a tough time adjusting. I was honestly very worried in the beginning. But the patience, care, and dedication from Ms. Lori and the team made all the difference. Within just a few months, he went from signing to speaking in full sentences. It was amazing to witness. They worked closely with him (and with me!) through behavioral challenges and supported us through potty training--we went cold turkey, and they were absolutely incredible throughout the process. I always felt like we were a team, and they truly understood that children go through different phases. The environment is clean, welcoming, and Montessori-style, which I love. When Ms. Janet was co-teaching, they were even incorporating Spanish into the classroom, which was such a great added benefit. After he turned 3, he transitioned into the preschool class with Ms. Yen and Ms. Jas, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. His behavior challenges completely disappeared almost immediately. I don't know if it was the structure, the environment, or a combination of both--but the transformation has been unbelievable. He is learning at a level that truly amazes me. At just 3.5 years old, he is beginning to read and write, he loves to sing and dance, and he even comes home asking for homework. They have done such an incredible job preparing him for TK this August--I have zero doubts he is ready, and that is 100% because of their care and teaching. My younger son (2 years old) just started in Ms. Lori's class this week, and he comes home so happy and excited every day. That alone says everything. This daycare feels like a second family. The teachers genuinely care about the children, and it shows in everything they do. I am beyond grateful for the love, patience, and dedication they have given both of my boys. I would highly recommend this daycare to any parent--your children will be in the best hands.
