We are still so thrilled with the teachers and school that we will be (again) staying for their Senior program next year, in lieu of our public school TK program.

My son started SPNS in late 2021. I was so concerned for his socialization after so much isolation having lived through a pandemic at an age when social skills are developing. The teachers at St. Paul's created this beautiful environment of caring and compassion. Each teacher has different special qualities and it's Ben so fun watch my kids connect with each of them. As a parent, even I have learned so much! And I will be forever grateful to the St. Paul's staff for all they have been to us all. While SPNS is lighter on the workload I feel, I do truly feel that the co-op experience has truly been a gift. It has been so special to participate in some way in their early education. We just love this school and it's community!

More importantly, our daughter has built close relationships with her teachers, Lily, Adriana, and Leila. You can genuinely tell they enjoy what they do and care about the kids. Since starting there, she has been talking a lot more and has clearly developed stronger social skills. She has made a solid group of friends, which has been great to see. We also really appreciate the structure they provide. They handle breakfast, lunch, and a snack after nap time. That is one less daily stress for us. They make an effort to get the kids outside, which we think is important. Communication has been strong. They send updates when we ask and share photos, which helps us feel connected to her day. They have also been flexible with drop off and pick up times, which makes life easier.

We feel so lucky to have found FSM Montessori. Both of our children attended FSM for preschool and…read morehave absolutely thrived. They not only learned so much academically but also grew socially, emotionally, and independently thanks to the nurturing and thoughtful environment. Mrs. Rehmane and Ms. Carla are exceptional educators. Their kindness, patience, and genuine love for the children shine through every day. They really see and respect each child as an individual, and it shows in the confidence and joy our kids brought home from school. The school itself is always clean, safe, and calm, and it's clear that FSM follows a true Montessori approach--encouraging independence, curiosity, and hands-on learning. The quality of education is simply outstanding, and we couldn't have asked for a better foundation for our children. FSM Montessori has been such a gift to our family.

She uses the best Montessori educational materials in her school, which teaches up to 12 students between the ages of 3-6. Her calm, warm demeanor makes everyone feel at ease, including our youngest daughter who has been attending FSM for the last 2 years. Mrs. Rehmane has been an educator for many years and has built a great team around her, including Ms. Carla and Ms. Sandy, who comes twice a week for 1 hour of Spanish and/or music class. We recently completed an in-school observation while all the children were there, and it was really adorable (and amazing) how quiet and concentrated they all were with the various "jobs" that Montessori students take on during the day. We have the option to move our child to the local public school for TK, but we will keep her at FSM for another year as we believe Mrs. Rehmane will help accelerate her learning across reading, writing, and math, as well as geography, science, etc. Also, FSM offers extended hours care, which has been very helpful to us and other parents. 5 stars isn't enough here -- we'd give her 10! :)

This school goes above and beyond to educate your little one with full exposure to so many classroom activities, local field trips, and 3rd party vendor events like petting zoo, bubble foam fest, etc! When my daughter was old enough, I looked into our district elementary school for TK. I applied and almost transferred her to TK. But I'm so glad I didn't! From the TK open house that I went to and observed, it was more like a daycare center and nothing like what Trinity provide for my child. What do Trinity provide? Well, let me tell you this... my daughter is now 5 years old and she only has a few more months left at Trinity before you graduate and attend kindergarten. My daughter is reading Magical Tree House chapter books with ease (she's on book 2 now). She is doing 3 column math arithmetic! She can confidently count in Spanish and a few other Spanish words. She's currently in the older class and they have 7 or 8 teachers for classroom size of 25 students. They are flexible in late pick up because they understand traffic happens. Class schedule is from 8am to 5:30pm.

One of my favorite moments was the preschool graduation, a one hour ceremony completely led by the children. It was perfect and showed how much confidence and independence the school helps foster. The teachers also work individually with each child, which made a big impact for my son. With Ms Michelle, he was able to start reading sight word books before entering kindergarten. We love the balance of structure and creativity. Even after preschool, the after school program for graduates is excellent. They continue with a thoughtful curriculum, including cooking on Fridays. There's a sense of community that makes the school feel very special. Ms. Jam is wonderful, caring, supportive, and dedicated to the children's growth.

I chose a Burlingame Co-op based on a recommendation and after several bad experiences with the students and teachers there(bullying), I was left searching for a school that had more. I was so overwhelmed by the number of schools in my immediate area and honestly, even the yelps didnt help too much. Picking a preschool is a gut feeling kind of thing. After literally 8 school tours, 46 phone calls, and 100's of recommendations, I choose Burlingame Montessori for my son, and I'd like to share that it was one of the best things I have done for my son so far. I am amazed by the progress my son has made in this environment. He is so well spoken people mistake him for older. He is adding and subtracting as well as learning how to read and he is only 4! My mother was hesitant at first with the amount of time to play and the lack of toys but to be honest, I feel it has given him an appreciation for work and play and the things he has. My son is super happy and has come out of his shell; he LOVES his teachers(Julie, SIta and Anna) and cant wait to see them daily. And I know they love him too, which as a mother makes you feel assured. It's obvious to me that my son is learning because he comes home and teaches me what he went over that day. This place has filled my son and my family with warm memories and lots of love.I am super blessed to have found Burlingame Montessori and will continue to rave about until the end of time.

This year's preschool class focuses more on self-awareness awareness, confidence building, emotions, team work, and academics (alphabets, calendars, seasons, science ex, eriments) among many other things. The class cooks/bakes every Friday together and has music class every other week. The teachers are enthusiastic and truly care about each student. The small class sizes allow for the teachers and parents to get to know each child. I co-op in the class once a week. We help the classroom run smoothly by helping to tidy the classroom, set up projects, supervise and play with the kids. It's been a pleasure to watch my son grow and see the things that he's learning. I am then able to remphasize and elaborate on what he is actively learning at school. Lastly, Umc preschool is non-denominational and celebrates a wide variety of cultural holidays, from Chinese New Year, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Holi and Nowruz. I appreciate that every child's culture is welcomed and celebrated!

They made our kids feel "seen" which is what great teachers do! Beyond that, my eldest, who is now in TK, was super prepared academically and socially for the transition.
