    I truly love our school. The staff is outstanding and are very caring . We moved here a few months…read moreago and I was hesitant about the type of service we would get based on some reviews. Maybe some people are just biased and want to get special treatment but .. as for my family , this school and all its staff have been amazing. I highly recommend them and also if you are thinking about enrolling your children's , you can tour and have a meeting with the faculty. It's not your typical or traditional school but that's the entire point.

    Do not enroll your kid/s here. Without going into too much detail. They are dishonest and not…read moretransparent. They lack integrity and structure. I was denied rights as a parent, like access to her school information- I was never informed that she started even though I reached out to the school PRIOR to her starting stating I wanted to go over the curriculum and I wanted a walk through. I was also denied access to sign up who I wanted to add onto the pick up list because her dad was the one to sign her up and not me. They tried to intimidate me by saying their "lawyer" read over the child custody order and there was nothing I could do about it. But when asked for their lawyer info so my lawyer could contact them they lied and said it was a "friend who did a favor for them" and wouldn't give me any information. Which is illegal. I have filed a formal complaint and they lied to them as well, good thing I kept all the emails and had proof. One day, They allowed her to attend, even though I informed the staff, that she has been sick and has a doctors appointment that day, (her dad decided to take her to school and skip the appointment- during COVID) but was sent home a month later for "COVID regulations" yet stated she did not have to quarantine for the proper amount of days because it could be allergies. If you are notified that it is allergies, then why send her home in the first place? More has happened and I have documentation of it all. Do not trust them with your kids. My daughter attended maybe 2x a week for a month and all this happened in that time span. If they are dishonest to my face, I can't even imagine what is happening behind closed doors. If it was up to me, I would have never even chose this school. But her dad was allowed to take her to where he wanted on his days.

    Why in the world can you not rate the school on Google. They have it turned off so nobody can put a…read morerating for others to read to make a decision. What are they hiding. My granddaughter went here and these women were horrible. They gossip they chose sides between mothers and fathers that were separated And wouldn't listen to the parent that was trying to complain. They would be friend the mother's and then be condescending towards the fathers that they had questions to ask. I don't understand why the school is still opened. We tried to find out what the monthly payment was Because my son had to pay half and his ex-wife would not give him that info she would just verbally tell him what he owed and the owner would not give my son any information on the prices. I would never recommend this glorified daycare center

    I did a lot of research prior to enrolling my child into the MERCED MONTESSORI School. He…read morepreviously attended a Montessori school in Modesto and I was very hopeful that the Merced school would have a similar approach and standard. It quickly became apparent this was not the case. I did not feel my child was emotionally supported at the pre-school, there was lack of attention on the students during play time (I saw two students physically hurt each other while behind the teachers back), and I personally had to take away two dead cockroaches from a group of students who were playing with them during recess. The teachers refused to let my child eat his lentil chips claiming they were unhealthy while simultaneously offer Ritz Crackers and plastic wrapped processed cheese slices during snack time. During the first week, I picked my child up from day care, only for him to show me a massive 4 inch cut down his arm. To my surprise not one of the teachers could explain how or when it happened. My child attended for a total of six days before I decided that his well-being was not prioritized in the school. I will say, there are many people who love this school for their students. It's possible that we got a very unfortunate look into their summer programming. Ultimately, I did not feel my child was safe and decided to find another pre-school.

    Merced Montessori School - Every activity serves as a scaffold for future learning skills. Cylinder blocks help develop early math skills, fine motor for writing.

    Merced Montessori School - In a world of technology, I'm so happy my child goes to a school that focuses on developing her creative imagination.

    Our daughters started here when they turned 2. There is a separate classroom for 2 year olds and…read morethere are other classrooms for 3-5 year olds. We had nothing but good experiences here and highly recommend it. The teachers are very patient with the children, older children help younger children settle into routines, and the school even helps with potty training when the time comes. When our daughter started Kindergarten at the local elementary school, we found she was far beyond her classmates in math. This school prepared her well. Your child will take time to settle into the new environment. It took my oldest nearly six weeks. The school will work with you, so be patient and don't blame the school if your child isn't ready.

This place is a freakinnn' mess…read more After essentially being pushed out just two days in, I was told I'd get a full refund, minus the two days my son was "in school", yeah.. ok. What I got instead was several weeks of back and fourth emails, and a check that was finally recieved via snail mail aka USPS. I thought: "FINALLY", cause... hey, we're talking a little over $1,800. I go to deposit it and lo and behold.. IT'S NOT SIGNED. Yes, seriously, they sent me an unsigned check. From there, I went back to the email thread, going back and forth a million times with accounting and random people who never introduced themselves. An aggressive email from a random staff member named Patricia, who never introduced herself or her role in the whole situation. I didn't receive any phone calls, no apology, no accountability. Weeks go by, and I don't receive another check, so I filed a dispute with my bank after attempting to resolve this for over a month. Guess what? I finally heard back from accounting. They tried to get me to cancel my dispute so that they could issue a check again. I said nope! Thankfully, a week or so later, my bank was able to refund me the entire amount after literally faxing them our email thread and the unsigned check. Please do not bring yourself or your children here. The staff here is unprofessional and incompetent and needs to brush up on their customer service. Avoid. At. All. Costs.
