My son went here from 2 years old until he entered TK. This was the best experience that he could…read morehave had. He is very prepared for TK and knows his ABCs and how to count to 30 (he's 4 years old). The teachers always listened to him and to me. They were able to assist when he was diagnosed with autism. The schedules that they offer work extremely well for a FT working parent. The school is located in a safe area and I never had any concerns. The majority of the teachers have been there for over a decade (some twice as long!) And during the graduation multi-generation families spoke about the school; that just shows you how well known and loved this school is by the community.

My daughter has been going to New Horizons for 2 years now and we absolutely love it! I'm actually…read morereally sad that she's about to graduate because of the fun, safe and caring environment that Ms. Marilyn and the teachers have provided. We are eternally grateful to them for teaching and caring for our daughter! She has grown exponentially in these past two years. She can write her full name, count to 10 and beyond in at least 3 languages and she's even starting to read! They have given her the best head start for kindergarten and we couldn't be happier.

When it came time to look for a preschool for my daughter (4 years ago) I did a lot of research…read moreonline and in person. Thanks to all the great reviews here on Yelp and also a referral from one of my very good friends we decided to go with Mustard Seed as a place for my daughter to grow. She was 4 years old when she started and was very, very shy and was nervous. But it did not take her long to warm up and get comfortable with her super sweet classmates and the wonderful staff. The following year she continued onto TK and flourished into this bright intelligent little girl. The teachers at Mustard Seed did such an amazing job teaching the all the students and preparing them for Kindergarten. My daughter is currently in 2nd grade and is reading at the 6th grade level and I can't imagine her advancing to this level of education if it weren't for Mustard Seed. Fast forward - I needed child care for my youngest son as I prepared to go back to work and so thankful they have a toddler program I was able to enroll my son in at 18 months old. They love and care for all the children like it were their own and this gives us parents a peace of mind. He is now 3 1/2 years old and graduated to the preschool room where he absolutely loves to learn and play with his classmates that he calls, his best friends.

My Son was in kindergarten but now he is moving on to first grade and my daughter will continue to come here she was in preschool but now she will be starting TK. The teachers and staff at mustard seed really love what they do! They are all about the children's safety and well being. Not only that they make learning fun and exciting! My kids always looked forward to going to school each day. This place is very family oriented and they treat our children as if they were their own. Nothing but love and compassion from mustard seed! I'm kinda sad that it had to end so abruptly but I'm hoping and praying this fall we can have a better year for 20/21 school year! I sure do give teachers a whole new level of respect, their jobs are not easy! All teachers need to have more recognition for the work that they do!

I personally was disrespected and belittled by the principal more than once. If you have a child without any big behavioral issues I think this school is a good option but if you need resources and meaningful help with a child that does have behavioral issues in the classroom I would avoid this school at all costs. The people in the front office also can be obnoxiously rude aswell.

I highly recommend Fairfield Montessori School. My grandson started there when he was three years…read moreold and stayed until he was six. At first, he was very shy and had a hard time being away from his mom and me. With the kindness and patience of Mrs. Harshini, Mrs. Zora, Mrs. Monica, and the other teachers, he gradually opened up and grew more confident. The teachers are caring and attentive, and you can feel how seriously they take their responsibility for the children. I was especially touched by the way Mrs. Harshini would comfort a child who was sad, picking them up and caring for them as if they were her own. That meant so much to me as a grandmother. My grandson learned to do more for himself, and we saw wonderful growth in his reading, writing, and social skills. He also enjoyed the activities and the warm, comfortable learning environment. I loved how the school welcomed parents, fathers, and grandparents to be involved. It felt like a close family. We were proud to see my grandson graduate and ready for his next step, but we were sad to leave a school we had come to love so much. I'm grateful for the care, comfort, and education he received at Fairfield Montessori School. I would highly recommend it to any family. Who's looking for a caring and loving environment.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Fairfield Montessori. When our family first moved…read moreto California, finding the right place for our daughter was incredibly important to us, and finding Fairfield Montessori was such a blessing during that transition. From the very beginning, we knew our daughter was somewhere she was genuinely cared for, supported, and encouraged to grow. The entire Fairfield Montessori team has always been incredibly kind, welcoming, communicative, and supportive of our family. We have watched our daughter grow so much during her time at Fairfield Montessori, both academically and personally. Most importantly, we always felt confident dropping her off each day knowing she was in a safe, nurturing environment surrounded by people who truly cared about her. As she moves on to kindergarten, saying goodbye to Fairfield Montessori is incredibly bittersweet. This school will always hold a special place in our hearts because it was such an important part of the beginning of our life here in California. We are so grateful for the role the Fairfield team played in our daughter's early years and for the wonderful memories she made there. If you are looking for a loving, nurturing Montessori environment for your child, I wholeheartedly recommend Fairfield Montessori. Thank you to the entire Fairfield Montessori team for everything you have done for our daughter and our family. We will miss you tremendously!
