We visited SO MANY schools and talked to SO MANY teachers. Lots of nice schools, lots of nice teachers. But Meher was the only one where we came away from our visits and meetings feeling like they had a real, concrete plan, and an understanding of children's behaviors, wants, and needs from the educational process. There are a lot of "Montessori" schools but not a lot of real Montessori schools. Meher is, as they say, a real one. We've never come across an educator like Mrs. Wildhaber - such a unique, insightful, caring, special teacher that when the Altadena school was lost to the Eaton fire, most of the parents from our kid's class decided to spend an extra couple hours of their day driving their kids to Mrs. Wildhaber's new classroom in Monterey Park rather than switch schools. Our kid has come into her own socially, linguistically, artistically, and in other ways in just a year at Meher (and we intend to keep her there). We're proud of her and we're indebted to Mrs. Wildhaber, Ms. McCray, Ms. Van Ness, and all the other caring and capable teachers and staff. Thank you, Meher.

Words fail me to describe the kindness, generosity, and strength of the entire Meher community during an incredibly challenging year for us and for the school as well. Beyond all the positive academic developments our daughter gained, as detailed in other reviews, Meher is filled with the kind of kind, hardworking, and humble humans that you want your children to be around as role models. I have only the highest praise for the school, and we saw them react and adapt under very difficult circumstances. They supported my family in so many different ways, and I will always be grateful to the entire school community for their grace under pressure.

Our daughter was in Ms. Kenia and Ms. Citlally's class, and the growth we've witnessed has been remarkable. She has learned so much while at IMA, from essential manners to grasping the basics of how to read. Key Highlights of IMA: Exceptional Teachers and Staff: Ms. Kenia and Ms. Citlally, along with the entire staff, are truly loving, warm, and caring. The environment they cultivate is exactly what we had hoped for. A special thank you to Ms. Susie and Ms. Ivy for their dedication and kindness. Enriching Afterschool Program: We were very impressed with the breadth of their afterschool offerings, which included wonderful exposure to Spanish, Mandarin, and Yoga. Outstanding Communication: One thing we truly appreciate is how great IMA is at communicating with parents. This clear and proactive communication made us feel connected and informed every step of the way. We are truly sad to be leaving IMA. It is a fantastic place for children to learn, grow, and thrive in a warm and nurturing setting. Thank you again to the wonderful teachers and staff!

It has been a wonderful place for our kids to learn and develop, and we kept them at IMA through their kindergarten/"leadership" year. We're so happy we did, and both kids entered their first grade year with confidence when they moved to their elementary school. The teachers and administrators are wonderful, and there was very little (if any) turnover while we were there, which made our experience even better. Our son's teachers were also our daughter's when she attended. We speak highly of the school to all of our parent-friends in the area and always encourage a visit when they're looking to start their child's school journey. We loved our experience and feel our kids were well prepared going into their new schools.

Time flies and I couldn't be more thankful for the wonderful women who make this school so special. It is truly a safe space and a home away from home. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. Where to begin? I've toured a lot of preschools before seeing Our School and I instantly fell in love with how cozy and intimate the environment felt. Some of the other schools felt a little too "corporate." Here, there's no app or portal. Just good old fashion face-to-face chats with teachers and Ms Janel. They genuinely foster a sense of community so it feels like you are a part of the school too. In general, the school is well structured and organized. The staff ensures a good mix of boys and girls and will move kids up classes when they are ready socially and emotionally. Our daughter started off in Ms Yolanda's class, then Ms Doretha's class, and now in Ms Tiff's class. She has so much fun! She's grown so much socially and academically. The school gives you a booklet of the work they do everyday and it's such a treat to see how much they progress over time. I have no doubt she is more than prepared for kindergarten. The school also has a saltwater pool and my daughter swam everyday in the summer as an extracurricular (additional fee). This is her third summer swimming and is swimming like a fish. In the fall and spring, the school offers dance and gymnastic and pizza Mondays year-round for an additional fee. There's tons of fun activities that Miss Tiff does to make school so engaging and exciting. But above all, they all know your child SO well that you know they are truly paying attention to each child everyday. And during the Eaton Fires, Miss Tiff opened up her heart to make school feel as normal as possible and made sure the Our School families were cared after. Pajamas days, lunch provided for all students, donation drives for affected families, she did it all. There is so much intention and humanity built into this school and I am so grateful to have been a part of it. It's going to be really hard to say goodbye.

He has excelled so much that he's way beyond his years in math, reading and writing. He really is starting kindergarten strong.

As a first-time mom, I was definitely nervous about leaving her in someone else's care, but the director, Rosi, was so warm, friendly, and welcoming that she made the whole transition so much easier. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my little one was in good hands. My trust in Evergreen also came from my sister's experience. Her eldest daughter attended from infancy until she started kindergarten, and her youngest is currently enrolled as well. That reassurance, combined with my own first-hand experience, has made me confident in choosing this school. The teachers are truly wonderful, always happy, friendly, and caring. My daughter has grown and developed so much since being here. They put so much love and effort into everything, from daily learning and fun activities to thoughtful artwork, gifts, and celebrations for holidays and events. Even the food they provide is high quality, which I really appreciate. While tuition is on the higher side, I honestly believe it's worth every penny. The care, attention, and nurturing environment they provide is priceless. Their hours are also very accommodating for working parents, which has been a huge help. I have absolutely no complaints and would wholeheartedly recommend Evergreen Montessori to any parent considering it. Knowing my daughter is safe, loved, and thriving there is the best feeling.

Kristine, the owner, called personally to make sure we had all of the information and ensure us that we'd be able to use their services as soon needed. My very shy 3 year old blossomed under their care. He began talking more, became more outgoing and absolutely fell in love with his teacher, Ms. Katie. He definitely views her as more of a friend than a teacher. My family was in such a dark place when my son enrolled. I could barely get out of bed, let alone actively participate in his development but Ms. Katie and Ms. Rosi, never made us feel bad. We forgot pretty much everything (e.g. water bottles, clothes, forms), you name it, we forgot it but Ms. Katie would always supply whatever he needed with a smile and so much compassion that it's bringing me to tears while writing this. Due to unforeseen circumstances pertaining to the fire, we had to leave but our hearts will forever be apart of the Evergreen Family. Ms. Katie, if you ever read this, I want you to know how much we appreciate your love and attention to our little guy. Your daily pictures and considerate updates on his behavior and attention never went unnoticed and we will forever be grateful that he was able to spend time in your care.

Then I met Ms. Cassandra, and everything changed. From the moment she gave me a tour, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly supportive. I instantly felt at ease, and I knew right away that this was the school for us. The teachers here are amazing. The first ones I met, Ms. Samar, Ms. Emani, and Ms. Cassie, each took the time to help my son adjust, and I saw a difference almost immediately. His behavior has improved so much since starting here, and I know it's because every teacher truly cares. I also have to mention Ms. Jane and Ms. Lassandra, they are all so wonderful. You can tell they all love what they do, and the kids feel it. Another huge plus: they offer after-school programs like Soccer Shots and piano lessons, which my son absolutely loves. I honestly can't express how much I love this school and everyone who works there. They gave my son stability during a difficult transition and gave me peace of mind.

The super nurturing energy from her teacher, Ms. Samar, is so obvious and reflects in how my kiddo has become so excited to see her friends at school... she even used to carry her security cat (a literal Halloween black cat) during the day and now, she says goodbye to it at home! Leadership at the school is excellent - Ms. Cassandra is truly hands-on and adds to the positive energy for students and parents! There are holiday events for parents year round and kiddos work on art projects daily. The staff is super attentive - you can easily communicate via the Brightwheel app, which shares daily photos, videos, and messages with staff. Any school is scary for parents when it's the first time and your kiddo is very young, but Enchanted Castle has truly put my mind and concerns at ease. (For reference, we do M-F part-time which is 9AM - 12PM. Our kiddo doesn't nap at school but they have little cots for those who do).
