My daughter was very close to her previous preschool teacher at another school, so we initially…read morethought the transition to Flintridge Montessori would be difficult for her. However, Ms. Joyce and Ms. Melo in Room One made her feel comfortable and welcomed from the very beginning, and she adjusted much more quickly than we expected. The entire staff was also incredibly supportive and caring throughout the process. At one point, there was a third-party after-school program that did not meet the expectations of parents, Ms. Rohini, the head of school promptly dealt with the issue. That experience reassured us that everyone at the school genuinely prioritizes the well-being of the children above all else.

We've had such a positive experience at Flintridge Montessori so far. From the beginning, it was…read moreclear that this is a high-quality school with experienced, nurturing, and organized teachers who genuinely care about the children. My daughter adores all the teachers. One thing that really stands out is the communication. The school is very responsive and consistent with emails and updates, which gives parents a lot of peace of mind. They also offer enriching extracurricular activities including violin and piano lessons, Chinese classes, soccer, and dance, which has made the experience even more well-rounded for our daughter. Our daughter has learned and grown so much since attending Flintridge Montessori. At only four years old, she can already read, do math, and even knows her flags. Seeing how excited she is to learn makes us happy as parents. We've had a wonderful experience and plan on enrolling our younger son there as well.

LCMS is a wonderful school that has done and is doing wonders for my 2 children. My son attended…read morethe school from 2021-2023. The small classes allowed my son to learn in a classroom with a low student to teacher ratio and in an environment that allowed him to learn at a flexible pace. By 4yrs old, my son was reading, writing, adding single digits, sorting, identifying shapes, and creating art pieces. My daughter currently attends the school and since my son left the school, LCMS added a cooking class, Spanish class, yoga, hands-on science class, gardening, and soccer for the kids. In short, they added more programs to provide a well-rounded learning experience. The teachers are nurturing, encouraging, and kind. I believe they set my children up for success academically and have their overall development as a top priority. No two experiences will be alike as there is no such thing as a perfect school. If you are considering the school for your child/children, tour the school for yourself and don't let my review or any other review for that matter influence your own decision.

This school is apparently getting negative reviews removed because my recent review about my son…read morebeing physically assaulted in this establishment is no longer here. They're also getting a flood of new five star reviews to bury mine, which just speaks to their transparency and honesty (or lack thereof). Before deciding to enroll here, please visit the CDSS website and search for their facility no. 198021594. My son was pinched and bruised and there was a CDSS investigation on the matter (SUBSTANTIATED, see CDSS website). In addition, they're doing a nice facelift of the outside of the facility while their roofs are leaking and they had buckets in my child's classroom to catch the water. Maybe a mold inspection is in their future. CDSS also substantiated that claim. My son came home with all manner of bug bites from this school. They advertise cameras in the facility to make you feel safe, but in reality the Director "doesn't know how to use the cameras" and later flat out refused to provide footage unless legally required. Then the owner promised to provide footage and still hasn't. Please do your research before enrolling your child, there is no shortage of preschools in the area. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME WRITING THIS REVIEW SINCE THE FIRST WAS REMOVED.

Whenever I would drop her off or pick her up, she was happy and excited to go to school. Ms. Sondra (the director) is responsive and communicative. A few notes for other parents: They give snacks but no meals. They offer hot lunch for $6/day; They do not charge extra for diapering; Their summer school is filled with fun activities and water play once a week; They offer a fun and interactive dance class on Thursdays; Their outdoor play areas are filled with toys, bikes, playground equipment, including swings for babies and toddlers; Almost every holiday they make it special occasion for the kids and parents. My daughter is going to a dual language school next month, but we will sincerely miss Pennsylvania Ave. Montessori.

Their curriculum builds confidence, curiosity, and joy, and our boys came home excited to share what they learned. NextGen sparked in both of them a deep love for learning, creating, and exploring. They learned how to express and advocate for themselves, respect others' space, and understand that everything--from routines to rules--has a purpose. We also truly appreciated the warm family community we've gotten to know over the years--many, like us, returning to enroll younger siblings. NextGen set a strong foundation for our kids to be successful in their next chapter--we see this in our eldest son who is still thriving as a second grader. Thank you, Zara and the amazing team, for creating such a beautiful and inspiring place.

This year marks our 8th year at MCMS, and it has truly been a wonderful experience for our family…read more My son graduated from 6th grade, and my daughter is currently in her 5th year here as a 4th grader. Over the years, we've had the privilege of working with some incredible teachers--Ms. Armand (retired), Mr. Bell, Ms. Lewis and Ms. Haddadin in particular have been absolutely amazing and have made a lasting impact on our children. The teachers at this school are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in each student's growth. The curriculum is also excellent. When my son moved on to high school, he was very advanced in math and well-prepared academically, which speaks volumes about the quality of education here. Ms. Lee, the administrator, deserves special recognition. She is kind, compassionate, approachable, and deeply dedicated to the students and families she serves. Her leadership reflects genuine care, strong communication, and a thoughtful, steady presence that helps create a positive and supportive school environment. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every child feels seen, valued, and encouraged to thrive. Another thing we deeply appreciate is the strong and close-knit community. There is a real sense of connection among families, staff, and students. I especially love that there is a parent-led prayer gathering every Monday, where parents come together to pray for the school, teachers, and students. It's a meaningful way to stay involved and spiritually connected. Overall, this school has been an amazing blessing to our family. In the 8 years we've been here, we've had no major issues--only positive experiences. If you are looking for a Christian school for your children, I highly recommend this one.

I could not think of a better environment for little ones to flourish and lay the foundation for their educational growth and personal & social development!

From the owner: Little Einstein's Montessori Prechool is a community of children, parents, teachers and staff…read morededicated to Montessori philosophy. Our students graduate with a lifelong love of learning and a desire to be of service to the world around them. Montessori is an approach to education based upon the principle that schooling should work with the nature of the child instead of against it. Therefore, education should be based upon scientific study of the child and a resulting understanding of the processes of development and learning. Little Einstein's Montessori Prechool also pledges to provide Exemplary Customer Service by becoming an informative and supportive resource for our families and establishing an On-going Collaboration between our parents and staff with our varied and multiple communication avenues like emailed Weekly Updates and bi-annual Conferences. We strive to uncover the potential in all our children! Little Eintein's Montessori Prechool was created and opened in May 2015 by Mrs. Barrenechea, a 10-year teaching the public school system and parent of a young son. She created what she couldn't find for her own son: a friendly and open Montessori preschool where smiles abound, Teachers and Directors are excellent at what they do, and the school is clean and inviting. We want our students to experience such a positive impact on their learning that our parents would never consider having them attend school anywhere else.

Dear Bright Future Montessori Team,…read more As a full-time working mother, I cannot thank the staff at this facility enough. I have been with Bright Future Montessori for five years, starting from the very first day of my firstborn's preschool journey. I now have three children enrolled here--one in the infant room, one in the toddler room, and my oldest graduating this year--and I couldn't be happier. My children are always excited to be dropped off and often want to stay as long as possible. The daily activities and educational programs are wonderful. Most recently, they came home with goodie bags from the egg hunt, and the photos Susie shared of the event truly made my day. I want to specifically thank the owners for creating such a happy childhood environment and providing these precious moments for my family. The kids are already looking forward to the summer program; they love the variety of activities, from pool days to cooking and planting. Thank you to all the teachers for the genuine kindness and care you show to every child.

I toured several places before finally choosing Bright Future Montessori, and I'm so grateful that I did. Both of my children started here at just four months old, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions I've made for them. One of the first things that stood out to me was the director, Ms. Suzie. She is always incredibly responsive whenever I have a question or concern, and she is so approachable and easy to talk to. That level of communication gave me so much peace of mind. What has truly kept us here for the past 4 1/2 years, though, is the amazing team of teachers. My oldest has already gone through four different classrooms, and every single teacher has been kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They treat the children as if they were their own, and that means everything to me as a parent. My kids absolutely love going to school. Every day they run in and hug their teachers, and that alone reassures me that they feel safe, happy, and loved. It has made such a difference in easing the guilt that comes with dropping them off. I highly recommend Bright Future Montessori to any parent looking for a nurturing, loving, and supportive environment where their children will truly be cared for.

Not only that, but he had severe food allergies so we wanted to feel comfortable sending him to a school where they took them seriously. Rebecca made sure his allergies were posted for ALL teachers to see, double checked when doing any cooking projects, and always had an alternative option for him so he didn't feel excluded. As soon as I knew I was pregnant, we knew we wanted to put our second child on the waitlist. When my daughter was of preschool age, we enrolled her even a year earlier than my son, at 2 years old. She would send us pictures and keep us updated about the school day. She went for 2 years is now in TK, and more prepared than ever (and miles ahead academically and socially) because of Rebecca, Alex and her caring teachers. We had formal teacher conferences twice a year with a detailed report so we knew exactly what we needed to work on both academically and socially. WW had a great balance of crafts/projects, focusing on social emotional needs, academics, and teaching them practical life skills. She even brought in animals for a petting zoo for the children which my daughter still talks about years later! Not only were both my children overly prepared for TK, Rebecca, Alex and her team created a family environment for the parents and inclusive for the students. There were family potluck events and playdates monthly scheduled. If you want an intimate setting (home-based) but with "larger" school expectations, Whiting Woods is THE best of both worlds.

From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth, safety, and true care -- the kind you'd hope for but rarely find. Ms. Lisa is the kind of teacher every parent dreams of. Nurturing, wise, and endlessly patient -- like a second mother to our daughter and a true support system for us as parents. She made every child feel seen, safe, and special. The way she handled her classroom with grace, joy, and structure made such a lasting impact on our daughter. You could tell she truly *loved* what she did, and her students felt that every single day. She also made learning fun and rewarding by always offering little prizes for positive reinforcement. Whether it was stickers, small toys, or thoughtful surprises, the kids were so motivated and proud. It was never about the reward -- it was the way Ms. Lisa made each child feel noticed and celebrated for their effort and kindness. And Ms. Vicky, her amazing assistant, was just as kind and attentive. Always there with a gentle smile, ready to lend a helping hand or give encouragement when the kids needed it. They filled the days with so much joy -- pizza parties, cooking activities, fun themes, and learning moments disguised as pure fun. Our daughter came home every day glowing with stories and pride in what she learned or created. She was genuinely excited to go to school -- and as a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your child is not only safe but *happy* and thriving. We joke that we wish Ms. Lisa could follow our daughter all the way to college -- that's how deeply we love and trust her. This school, and these teachers, have left a lifelong imprint on our hearts. We are forever grateful. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be loved, encouraged, and truly *known* -- look no further. This is the place.

My family was very sad to leave Bright Start. The only reason we left is because it was time for our daughter to go to kindergarten. And Ms. Lisa and Ms. Vicky did an exceptional job of preparing my daughter for the transition to kinder. If I could give Bright Start 10 stars, I would.
