Our child has attended Belltower Montessori Academy for over 3 years and we could not be happier with our experience there. All of the teachers and administration staff are dedicated to each and every student and their success. Our child's kindergarten and first grade teacher, Ms Busrat, has been an amazing educator who we will miss dearly when it is time for us to move on. Ms Busrat teaches her students to be independent, critical thinkers and also nurtures their emotional development. Ms Busrat has pushed our child to explore her potential once she has mastered certain skills, developing a sense of pride for working hard and putting in the effort. All of the staff at Belltower are kind, compassionate, and patient. The school is well organized, clean and dedicated to safety. Belltower's director, Ms Lyndy, is present on a daily basis and always makes herself available to the parents. Ms Lyndy has provided so much support to us as parents over these last 3 years and always keeps us in the loop of all that is happening at the school. We are so impressed with our child's academic and social progress that she has learned from Belltower Montessori and highly recommend the school for early education. Our child is leaving Belltower Montessori a voracious reader with a love for learning. What more could a parent ask for? read more

My son has attended Belltower for a little over 3 years now. He loves going to school. All the teachers at Belltower are very friendly, kind and attentive. Our son's teacher Ms. Busrat is amazing, we feel very lucky she is our child's Kindergarten teacher. She has very effective teaching methods, motivates the students, inspires, creates a wonderful learning environment (Montessori work cycle practical life, sensorial, language, geography, mathematics), teaches problem solving skills, patience, independent learning, empathy and being respectful to all peers/friends. Our son's communication, reading, writing and math skills are exceptional. Advanced curriculum compared to traditional public schools. Student ratio per class is ideal and effective, no overcrowded classes. He also loves enrichment (Music, creative art, cooking, computer and more) with Ms. Gabby she's so awesome. Ms. Moore is an excellent director creating a great, strong positive school community. We thank her for everything she does. She is professional, organized and has excellent communication. We are always well informed of any upcoming events. Belltower is always clean, organized, hygienic and secure. We know our child is in good hands and safe when he gets dropped off at school. I highly recommend Belltower Montessori school. read more

This place has honestly been giving me an uneasy feeling this past year. I don't even know where to begin. For starters, they recently posted on Facebook that they're opening an infant room. While some people may think that's a great idea, it honestly feels like the owner and director are becoming more focused on making money than on what's best for the children and families. My child has been enrolled at this school for a few years now, and fortunately this will be our last year here. It is truly so expensive to attend this school, and it just doesn't feel like the cute, happy place it once was. Don't get me wrong -- every single teacher here has been an absolute blessing. The teachers are not the issue at all. But lately, it seems like the director is more concerned about bringing in more tuition rather than making current families feel valued, heard, and supported. I've also heard concerns from multiple parents about accommodations not being properly met for their children, which is really disappointing and concerning to hear. To top it off, the amount they're charging for the infant room is outrageous -- it's close to more than half of my mortgage here in Corona. It's sad because this school used to feel much more family-oriented. It felt like a safe place for my kids and somewhere I would confidently recommend year after year, but now it just feels very money-driven. A big thank you to all the teachers my child was able to experience Belltower with. read more

My son has been going here since he was 3 years (now he's 6) and has made positive improvements with his social skills. He also can read and write well! We love his teacher and I'll be sad when we have to move on. Thank you for the wonderful memories! read more

My son started at Belltower Montessori Academy for preschool. He's currently in kindergarten and as he gets ready to transition to first grade... I am able to reflect on how well he is doing and how exceptionally prepared he is to move on. Enrolling him at Belltower Montessori Academy was the best decision that we made for our son. The teachers are attentive to each child in a unique manner, based on individual's needs. There is great structure in their day to day routines and the kids excel in all areas of their functioning: academic, social, emotional and life skill readiness! It's the right choice for your child and your family! read more

This school has been the best experience for my little one. The director was hands down the best when I walked into this school clueless as to whether or not this school is for my child or not. She gave me a tour explained to me in detail how the school works. This school has been so accommodating and so welcoming. It has fulfilled my child's needs in every aspect and has. We love Mrs. Busrat she's hands down the best teacher for my child. My child was behind since he started late and she has helped him catch up to the rest of his class in less than 6 months!!! She has worked with me and has helped us be on the same page so that we can help our child excel! read more

Took my 3 and a half year old daughter to Belltower and we are very happy. Director Mrs. Rollins is an exceptional leader who truly cares about the students and families at the school. Her dedication, kindness, and organization create a positive learning environment where children feel supported and encouraged to grow. We are very grateful for her leadership. My 3 year old loves her and trusts her. Can't thank her enough for what she has been doing with my child. 100% recommend this place. read more

My husband and I enrolled our son at this facility for their pre-primary program (ages 2-3). Our main reasons of starting daycare/schooling was so that it helps prepare him for preschool by engaging and teaching him so that he has a good foundation before starting preschool. Another reason was so that he has important social interactions with other children his age since we do not have any other children and there are no children where we currently live at that are around his age. From our experience, Belltower Montessori does a very good job with both of these components. Additionally, the teachers are very attentive with the children, knowledgeable, helpful, and communicate with us very well. Each day they told us how our son way acclimating and how his day went. The food that is served for lunch time is also fairly nutritious and appealing for young children which is a plus. My husband and I would definitely recommend this school! They also have options for tours and different types of days or hours that are available depending on what your family needs. Additionally, they give you two days prior to your first official day of starting. They do this so your child can see their classroom during school time so that they can see their teachers, children in their classroom, and so they can get familiar before their first day. read more

Belltower Montessori has been an incredible journey for our family, and we are so grateful for the years we've spent as part of this wonderful community. Our daughter started in Classroom 7 and later moved to Classroom 6, and from Day 1 until her last day, the support, care, and dedication shown by the faculty have been nothing short of amazing. The Montessori curriculum is beautifully integrated into every aspect of the classroom experience, encouraging independence, creativity, and confidence. We want to give a big shout-out to the entire Belltower faculty for their unwavering support throughout our time here. Each and every member of the staff played a role in shaping a positive, nurturing, and enriching environment. A special thank you to Ms. Busrat, Ms. Servin, and Ms. Hetal --your care, personal attention, and constant presence meant the world to us. You've been there for her very first day, and your patience, encouragement, and kindness helped her blossom into the confident little girl she is today. Knowing she was in such good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind as parents. Belltower is more than a school--it's a family. If you're a parent considering options for your child's early education, we wholeheartedly recommend Belltower Montessori. The impact it has had on our child will last a lifetime. read more

Before enrolling my son here I toured SO. MANY. SCHOOLS (including all the other local Montessoris). Nothing seemed like a good fit and I was getting so discouraged. Then I found Belltower We absolutely love this school. My son started here last year in the preprimary class and it was a wonderful experience for him. He had been home full time with my before that, so we were both nervous about this transition. The staff was SO kind and communicative, and he soon be was getting really excited to go. He's now in the primary class and I can't imagine a better environment for him. He's become so independent, has learned a ton and is having fun. Right now they have baby chicken eggs in an incubator and are waiting do them to hatch! They have the cutest garden outside. The halls are lined with books. The classroom doors are filled with the kids pictures and things they have made. The app is great and his teacher constantly sends me pics of him doing the "jobs" (activities) there. Students are given so much encouragement, nurturing and opportunities here. They play and work together and just have a ball. We had an issue with two students in his class picking on/teasing him (and other students as well), and the director Ms. Moore took it very seriously, as did my sons teacher. I could go on and on. I highly recommend enrolling your child here read more

A wonderful place to start an incredible foundation for your childs' development. They off interactive age appropriate programs at the right level for children. Hands down the best place for kids in the region. The staff are kind and supportive. Great communication skills. You must check this place out for yourself very impressive. It is a hidden gem that will put you at ease if you want to keep your child in the a safe interactive environment. Lots of love here. Love the structure and thoughtful programs. read more

Belltower Montessori has been an excellent value for my family and daughter. My daughter looks forward to school each day with its excellent teachers and her friends she is excited to see each day. Belltower shared pictures with me through their parent portal, and I appreciate seeing all of the fun activities that my daughter is up to while she is away. My family feels lucky to be a part of this community in nurturing my daughter. read more

This is one of the best preschools schools in the Corona area! And they go ip to 2nd grade. We recently placed our 3 year old here about 3months ago. He loves it!! They have a great montessori curriculum that focuses on him learning at his pace. His teachers, Ms Grey & Ms Leann, are the best! They are kind and gentle with our little guy. They work with him and keep him comfortable. He has been so happy since joining this school. We have seen growth and maturity in him. He has become quite independent and helpful at home since going here. They offer soccer, which he loves. I wish we had known about this school when our oldest was his age. Ms Moore and Ms Nelson are the Director and Asst Director respectively. They are always available to answer any questions or concerns. They are not just running the Academy. They are actively involved. At any time you will see them walking through the classes, monitoring and assisting where needed. We love how hands on they are. They care about their program and their teachers do too! We highly recommend Belltower Montessori!!! The Josephs read more

We LOVE the school. All of the staff are very friendly and great at communicating. All of the teachers know every kid's name and who their parents are, which is very comforting. Our kiddo is showing improved play skills, understanding of letters & numbers, and life skills. We look forward to our continued time with the school. read more

We've had a great experience with Belltower thus far. I switched my son a few month's ago to this school from another preschool. The teachers here are fantastic and truly care about the students. The kids do a lot of hands-on learning and my son always tells me how much fun he had during his day. Ms. Moore has also gone above and beyond to help my son feel comfortable and transition into his new environment. Communication is great, and any questions or concerns are addressed quickly. We highly recommend Belltower for any parent looking for a school that prioritizes both learning and a nurturing school setting. read more

If you're in the Corona area and are looking for a great Montessori program for your kids, look no further than Belltower! Both my kids went to Belltower and they absolutely loved their time there. Ms. Chavez was my daughter's teacher and we were so lucky to have her! The facility was always clean, tidy and had classical music playing to add to a calm ambience for the children. The curriculum was perfect and all the staff and teachers were very attentive. Both myself and my husband work and we were happy and had peace of mind to have Belltower as a place for our children throughout the day. read more

Both of my children have attended Belltower (one is still attending) and we've had such a wonderful experience there. The front office and teachers all care so much about the children and it really shows. I have never had to question the quality of care my children receive there and as a parent you can't really ask for much more than that. Highly recommend this daycare/school. read more

I took both of my children to bellflower. My son since he was 3 until he entered kindergarten at a public school. We did not enroll in Montessori for kinder due to our budget(this was nothing to do with them) We absolutely LOVED his teachers. They taught him Spanish and how to read before he even entered kinder. I was sad when he finally transitioned. We also enrolled him in soccer shots during his time and he loved it! We enrolled our daughter when she was 18 months until she turned 3. The teachers have been amazing and work with her well. I have seen her become more independent throughout the time at BT. I also love how they do water play actives during the summer to keep the kids entertained during the hot months in corona. They also do fun parties during the holiday months like thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's day. I always felt safe dropping off my kids knowing that only certain people had access to the front as well. Ms. Andrea and Ms. Moore have done a great job at running the facility. Thank you so much to the wonderful teachers too, Ms. Grey, Ms. Lauren. And Ms. Jackie! I am truly saddened that we have to move to leave BT. Please consider enrollment here because you kids will be taken care of. Lastly, I never once felt I couldn't just drop it to watch my child to see how she was doing. I always felt welcomed by the staff and so did my mom and husband. Never ran in to any issues. Thank you so much BT for everything. read more

Our son has been coming here for the last 2.5yrs and it has been one of the best decision's we've made choosing Belltower. The staff here are excellent and ultra caring. They have developed and prepared our son for either TK/Kindergarten. I would highly recommend this facility to any parent who wants a safe and excellent learning environment for their child. Special thanks to Ms Servin, Ms Emily , Ms Grey, Ms Busrat and director Ms Moore ! read more

After having both of my kids in Belltower Montessori Academy for the past 4+ years, I have to say I'm so very happy with the decision. The staff and the teachers are welcoming, attentive, and hard working. I wasn't too familiar with the Montessori approach to pre-K learning, but I can now tell my children have benefited tremendously from being part of this learning environment. I encourage the parents to consider Belltower for your children's education and development. A big thank you to Ms. Moore, Ms. Andrea, Ms. Chavez, Ms. Servin, and Ms. Enam. My kids had a wonderful time at Belltower, and I will be sincerely missing dropping off my kiddos every morning. read more

Belltower has been such a welcoming environment for our kids. We had a wonderful experience with our first child - so when it came time for our second child, we knew exactly where we were going to go. I really enjoy how kind all the teachers and staff are. It's wonderful to walk in and everyone knows your child. I also appreciate that each classroom's teacher takes the time to get to know your child and understand the little things that they like (or don't like) and how best to mesh with their personalities. Not only did our children grow socially, but they also learned a tremendous amount too! Whenever anyone asks about recommendations for preschool, we always tell people about Belltower - you can't go wrong as the quality of the school is amazing. We will miss it! read more

I hate to write this review, but I know we won't have to worry about getting our daughter into Belltower. We received a referral from a friend who also received a referral from another friend. It's that good! We looked at 5-7 different daycares, and my wife fell in love with this school. But, unfortunately, we are moving and are sad to have to give up this place. They have sent us pictures frequently and know our daughter well. The app they use is also very effective. We highly recommend Belltower read more

We have sent both our daughters here, and I want to share my opinions on the pros/cons of the school: Pros - great management, the director is actually involved in overseeing the staff at all times, I like the way they run the school like an efficient business, because, the teachers get required breaks, and for the most part they always seem happy. I think the school will continue to be as good as it is, as long as they continue making the teacher's well being a priority. There are teacher appreciation weeks, and they have a dress code in place which seems to make the teachers feel and act as teachers rather than babysitters. They have actual curriculum for the toddlers and the women that work here are all intelligent and skilled in child development. My favorite teachers are Ms. Chavez, and Ms. Gabby. We all have issues in our personal lives, but these ladies are so professional, and if they are ever struggling with something, you would not know it because they are just always smiling and cheery, which I hope they know what that means to these kids, and what a positive impact they make in their lives and the lives of the families, when parents can rest easy knowing that their kid is safe & happy while parents work. Also the parents here appear to be more educated than I've seen at traditional daycares, and I think what I love most is that there is a very diverse group of children. Every class has a mix of races, which I think is really important. Cons - The parking is quite hectic especially at 9am & 3pm, so try to get there before/after those times. Avoid parking directly in front of the entrance because someone will likely ding your doors lol. They have slightly more closure days than traditional daycares like KinderCare, etc. The meals are a separate cost if you don't have time to pack your kids lunch. Overall, I would highly recommend, and I think that this school is just that, a school. It is a great place to enroll your toddler if you want them to be prepared for Kinder. It's worth the price, and If you are unable to afford & qualify, I believe there are programs that may help you pay, but not sure about that. read more

We started our daughter here in January when she was 20 months old. We chose the school due to it proximity to my work as well as it's commitment to Montessori principles and child development. We toured a few schools and found this to be the best fit for us. The tuition was comparable to other schools, but we found the facilities and staff at Belltower to be superior. For example, the school prepares hot lunch for the kids daily - they have a set menu with a different protein each day, and they even allow you to opt in for certain days for dietary needs. Since I work nearby, I've gone to peek in on my daughter during my lunch break, and it's nice to see how the teachers comfort the kids as they prepare for naptime. The pickup and drop off is also very secure. We were nervous to see how she would do since she started full-time right away, but she quickly adjusted and now enjoys her time with her classmates and teachers. We also appreciate the teachers helping comfort her during the initial transition. One of our favorite parts is that the teachers use an app to update us on all her activities, including meals, bathroom breaks, and naps. They also send photos of her doing art and playing with her friends daily. We look forward to her continuing at Belltower and excited to see her grow and learn more. read more

Our family absolutely loved this school. The teachers and staff are all so kind and helpful. They truly care about the kids and are constantly teaching them new things. Im grateful that my son got to experience Montessori teaching at belltower. read more

Belltower Montessori Academy - Preschools Near Me - Corona, California

Pros: Clean Well lit environment Secure place for children Locks & cameras safety is good here Uses Montessori materials & layout Cons: Teachers are on their phones a lot here High turn around rate of teachers here Pricey tuition Not AMI / AMS accredited Alot of the teachers here do not seem to care for the children much They are off almost 30 or so days off during the year which makes it difficult for working parents to keep having to find another place to put their kids when they're off. This place runs & feels more like a corporate environment rather than a warm cozy place for children. read more

There aren't enough great things I could say about Belltower. I researched a lot of places to make sure I found one that provides a safe and great learning environment. And Belltower was it. From the initial tour to now, the staff and admin have always kept the best interest of the children. Especially, during the pandemic, clear communication and safety was top priority. Leaving Belltower is a bittersweet moment for us. We wish we could have our child attend Belltower forever. Our child has grown, learned and blossomed so much under Ms. Servin's class. We really appreciate what Ms. Sevin, the staff and everyone at Belltower has done for our child. We know they are prepared for the next chapter. Thank you Belltower! read more

I sent my daughter to Belltower from the age of 2.5 till 6. We had a pleasant experience, staff members are very nice, understanding and accommodating. All the educators that we had were very kind and patient with the kids and I appreciate all of them by name Ms. Helen, Ms. Busrat, Ms. Luz, Ms. Hetal, Ms. Emily and Ms. Cornman. The classrooms are always clean and has many activities for the kids to choose from. The education level is very good, my kid can almost read anything, and her math level is great! They start teaching them at age 4 with Ms. Luz and later in Kindergarten with Ms. Cornman. read more

My son is 4 years old and have been attending Belltower and I am very happy and amazed that how much he has learned in a short time. He has been learning some geographies, planting, writing, and reading. He likes to sound out some words he sees and ask us what do they mean. I think he will be well ready for TK coming school year. And Belltower is very clean and well organized. I strongly recommend Belltower to any parents who want to their children to learn more. read more

This was our son's first school experience and it was everything we could've asked for. Clean, organized, and an amazing environment for growth and learning! We moved out of town and had to make the tough decision to withdraw, but big special thanks to Ms Jackie, Gray, and Lauren of room 4 for their endless kindness and care for our boy, we'll never forget you! And of course thank u Ms Andrea in admin for everything! read more

Belltower has been foundational for our children. From our daughter who is now 5 and our son who is 2.5, they've grown to be incredibly independent and resourceful in their day to days. The teachers are warm and hard working and the school itself is very well maintained. We highly recommend Belltower. read more

Wonderful school. The teachers are so wonderful. I was not familiar with the area nor school district and wasn't sure if I made the right decision enrolling my child here. But, I'm glad I did. She has grown so much and learned a lot in one year. The teachers are great at communicating and were taking time to listen to my concerns/comments. If there was any issue, they contacted me right away. My daughter picked up fast here. They do teach valuable lessons. Wish we could stay longer but we are moving so will be sad to be leaving. Hope the next school will be as good and fun as this one. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone that is looking for quality learning. We will miss all her teachers dearly. Thank you for making our experience here so enjoyable read more

Such a wonderful place for my son. I am so happy we found Belltower when we did and had my son enrolled back in April 2021. Belltower helped my son with his shyness and showed him how to branch out of his comfort zone. He used to experience severe separation anxiety with me but now, he's always so happy to come to school each day. Ms. Servin in my son's teacher and he LOVES her. She is so understanding and nurturing and calming, just what my son needs from time to time. We love Ms. Servin and will truly miss her and the school when it comes time for Kindergarten in the fall. Belltower has been a blessing for us and our son in so many ways. He's grown so much since his first day and for that, I am so thankful to this school and the teachers. read more

Both of my son's have attended Belltower for several years now, unfortunately they both had to move onto Elementary school. What I like about Belltower is that it is clean and the staff is professional. The staff is caring and shows lots of patience towards the children. We ended up sending our kids to Belltower because we had problems at another local preschool (dirty/rude staff). I would definitely recommend Belltower, it is a great place and my kids and I will definitely miss them. Thank you Belltower! read more

we will miss this place. when we first moved into the area we checked out a handful of preschools in the area. belltower was by far in a class of its own. I was surprised to find such amazijg level of care from the teachers to the staff to the Amazon facility. grateful for the care my child has received. read more

Clean facility with classical music playing. I did witness staff members not really being as attentive to the children outside as I would've liked. A few were busy talking or texting. Naps are almost mandatory here which caused a huge problem for us, my kid just doesn't nap so how do you force this on them. We were able to reach an agreement where he could read as long as he remained quiet on his mat. Facility seems to have high turnover. read more

This school has been great. I switched my kids over to Belltower from another preschool and they are doing amazing. The staff here is great and so wonderful with the kids. My kids used to dread going to the last school and now they look forward to it every morning. It's amazing to see how much they've learned since they've enrolled. read more

My daughter started in room 5 with Ms.Chavez and Miss Hetal. School is very focused on creativity, development and other activities. I would definitely recommend this place for everyone. All the staff members are very friendly and professional. Thank you all the teachers and members of bell tower. We will miss you all! read more

The school, the curriculum and especially all of the teachers are absolutely wonderful. We are so grateful to have found Belltower Montessori. It's only been 6 months since we enrolled our son, but it's truly everything we hoped it would be. This reflects so much Ms. Moore's efforts in finding the right teachers, maintaining the order with so many children, and fostering such a respectful and positive environment for the children. We toured every Christian and Montessori school in Corona and Norco before enrolling, and so happy with our decision. A very special thanks to the teachers we've worked with: Ms. Danni, Ms. Helen, and Ms. Jackie. My son hugs them and loves them like they are family. He includes them in his prayers every night, which is such a blessing to know he loves his educators. They have kept us in the loop with his eating, napping, bathroom breaks, activities and even incident reports when needed. Thank you Belltower for being such a wonderful place and earning our families trust! read more
