It was a very…read moredifficult choice for us to choose a private school over our local public school as the local school is very much a neighborhood school. However, we were seeking a hand-on education where our kid would develop a love of learning and prioritize asking questions rather than memorizing answers for a test. We were also looking for an education where the whole child would be developed and there was an emphasis put on EQ as well as IQ. We can't sing Bixby's praises enough and can't wait until our 1 yr old is old enough to attend!

They have a great program for early childhood development. They even take time to have the teachers do a home visit so they can get to know each child a little better in their own environment. My son loves the Mommy & Me class where we get to spend time together playing, creating, and enjoying the music class within it. They both feel at home at Mt. View. My daughter has the same teacher that our neighbor's 24 year old son had - they have a phenomenal teacher retention rate! I recommend this school to everyone! And it's even very reasonably priced! The kids and other parents are great, too. I have nothing bad to say.

My Daughter started at this preschool when we first moved from Australia over a year and half ago. Not knowing anyone and being in a new country she was instantly welcomed and fell in love with the school, teachers and friends. She absolutely loves going to school (often does happy dances and squeals of joy) and even requests to go more days! My son (2.5) now goes with her and even though he struggles with detachment at drop off some days, the teachers instantly put him at ease. I think it's a bonus that it is a smaller preschool, so children from various ages can all play and learn together, the teachers are also very attentive to every child so no one gets lost. I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone searching for a nurturing environment with active learning and passionate teachers!

My daughter attended the school in 2020-2022 and our experience was far from positive. When we…read moretoured and applied in 2020, the school sounded fantastic. Unfortunately between the time we applied and the time we started, the seemingly wonderful head of school left and the board selected someone with no educational experience to replace them. A year later the other, fantastic, member of the original 2-person admin team left. My daughter started in YCC at 18mo. Several times my daughter came home with injuries (head injuries, bite marks) and no incident report or communication from the school. In 2022 we moved into one of the primary classrooms. My daughter initially had an ok experience in primary. But again we found out about several incidents from her that should have warranted an incident report, but never did. This culminated in her telling us that one child had hit and shoved her 3-4 times inn the course of a week. We of course brought this up and the teacher kept trying to tell us this was "normal behavior". We disagreed, and attempted to raise this with the head of school, who ignored us for weeks. In this time we had interactions with several other parents, where upon telling them of the issue we'd get responses like "oh, was it [kid]? My kiddo was getting hit by them too." One other parent told us their kid shook with anxiety about going to school and had to be kept home for a month as a result of bullying by this same kid. It became clear that the kid in question had bullied almost every other kid in the classroom, and the school had done nothing about it. Finally, we got a meeting with the head of school. He started by gaslighting us, telling us we were "complainers" and that he felt "nothing he could do would ever make us happy" - as if enforcing the school's own policies on bullying were too much to ask. We quickly ended the meeting after agreeing that the school would refund us the tuition we had paid for the two-month summer session we wouldn't be attending. The school refused to issue a refund until after the summer session, and then sent us ~$200. Half-day tuition at the school is ~$2,000/month. The refund is laughable and, in my opinion, an intentional fraud. In summary our experience was of an incompetent administration, classrooms that could not provide a safe learning environment for our child, a sudden termination of services and a wholly inadequate refund from a disingenuous head of school.

We love the teachers who you can tell care so deeply about the children and the environment they create for them. We also love that both classrooms spend a lot of time outdoors in the yard--our kids talk a lot about the garden they tend to and the flowers, vegetables, and fruits they grow there. The school is an authentic Montessori program--the teachers are highly trained and skilled and the curriculum is planned and purposeful. Unfortunately, any school can throw the word Montessori into the title and that doesn't mean they implement an authentic program, but rest assured, this school does. Our kids are thriving! Since starting here, our two littles are excited to learn, have become increasingly independent and take more initiative and are more cooperative with each other and other children. We highly recommend this school!

I cannot in good faith recommend this school to any child or family. My child went to this school…read morefor about 1.5 years, starting at about 2.5. I have PTSD from the judgement my child received, lack of support, poor communication, and overall unprofessionalism of leadership. The teachers were very kind, but unfortunately, not fully equipped to support a variety of children's needs. My child has thrived since leaving this school and had zero issues with classmates and teachers. I believe if you're child is quite docile and loves to work alone that this could be a fine enough option for you, but if that's not the case, I'd encourage you to look elsewhere. And my best advice is just to talk to a handful of parents at the school. It can seem really nice on the surface, but the best way to know what it's really like is to talk to the community of parents that currently have children enrolled. Many felt the same way, but as you know, it's hard to find good childcare so it was the lesser of the evils for a lot of families. I fully expect the school to try to retaliate this review (as defense was often the communication I was met with for any concerns), but I hope that some of the professionalism has come back to the school and they will just receive the feedback and learn from it.

If you are looking for women who really invest in their job this is the school for you.
