They have strict check in check out policies for your kid. The doors are always locked and they buzz you in. The staff all know you. There's always at least 1 person in the front. There is always someone there to answer the phone. They communicate with you in a very timely manner (i.e kid not feeling well, they tripped and hurt themselves etc). They promote healthy eating and provide healthy snacks and lunch. I would highly recommend sending your kid here! Feels very safe and loving. And the parking lot may be sort of small, but parking has never been an issue. Parents drop off their kids pretty quickly.

Amazing institute for early childhood development. My son has been going to this location for…read morealmost 6months now, and I can say that I can see the great benefits he is having in a Montessori environment learning and experiencing concepts hands on. He is happy - and as parents that's honestly all that matters. All the teacher and staff are compassionate and loving. My son seems know every one of them - which indicates they all have taken the effort to know my son and provide some form of care to him on a daily basis. The first things that made me drawn to this facility was the huge play area. Outdoor time is very much needed and a part of the curriculum and we appreciate that a lot. My experience had been great so far and I recommend this place.

My youngest son just graduated from ABC after spending 3 years there, and we are so grateful for…read morethe amazing experience he and his older brother who graduated from ABC 2 years ago have had. From the nurturing teachers, nutritious meals, age-appropriate instruction to the thoughtful curriculum and meaningful progress evaluations (not tests but tracking of developmental outcomes), ABC has set up both of my sons for success not just academically but also socially. My boys have shared many times how much they enjoy ABC, always excited to talk about the various projects they've created. I've also appreciated Maroof's guidance, especially navigating the boys' transition after preschool. Each year, Maroof mentors early education students since ABC is a shining example of what a high quality early education school should look like.

Our daughter has been attending ABCMM since she was three years old, and now, as she prepares to…read moregraduate this summer, we find ourselves reflecting with deep gratitude on the incredible foundation this school has given her. I toured many preschools before choosing ABCMM, but the moment I met the director, I knew this place was different. Her passion for early childhood education and her genuine care for children's wellbeing were immediately clear -- and that heartfelt approach is reflected in everything at the school. From the carefully considered learning stations to the expansive and engaging playground, every detail is designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and joy. ABCMM is truly a place where children feel seen, safe, and celebrated. All the teachers are warm, attentive, and kind. You can tell they truly love what they do. The teacher-to-student ratio is great, which means each child receives the attention and care they need to thrive. Our daughter felt so at home that, at one point, she even started calling one of her teachers "mommy" -- a moment that made us laugh but also touched our hearts. It's a testament to how loved and supported she felt every single day. One unique and wonderful touch is the meals provided daily by a private chef -- thoughtfully prepared and delivered to the school. As parents, we really appreciated knowing our daughter was eating nutritious, balanced meals, without anything sugary or overly processed. She's grown so much in her time here -- socially, emotionally, and intellectually -- all through play and exploration. We honestly wish we could have gone to a preschool like this ourselves! Thank you to everyone at ABCMM for making our daughter's early years so special. We will miss you dearly and carry these beautiful memories with us forever.

This review is long overdue! We love Mission Valley Montessori!!! I first toured this school back…read more at the beginning of 2019 when our 1st daughter was 2 years old and was in awe of how all the children here are so well mannered and calm. Very different compared to other schools I toured. We were placed on a waiting list, enrolled our daughter at another preschool in the meantime and and nearly 18 months later we got a call saying there was an opening for her. Our daughter is extremely shy and has anxiety. Mr. Justin was the head teacher in her class at the time and was so wonderful in guiding and helping her. We chose to keep her at MVM through kindergarten because our younger daughter was also attending and we didn't want to have 2 separate drop off/pick ups. Fast forward to 2025 and we have ended our journey with MVM. Our girls have really enjoyed their time at this school. They have learned so much more than we could have imagined and have made some great friends. In addition to reading, writing (cursive too!) and math, they have been taught how to work with each other and independently, daily life skills, grace and courtesy. The environment is always calm and organized. The teachers and staff are so sweet and it really feels like you're part of a family. There aren't enough words to express our deepest gratitude for all that the MVM staff and teachers have provided for our family.

The staff here are incredible--Mr. Justin, Ms. Monica, Ms. Toni, Ms. May, Ms. Louisa, and her wonderful toddler teachers have all made a lasting impact. My daughter is always so excited to go to school each morning, which says it all. I can't recommend Mission Valley Montessori highly enough--it's truly a special place.

Ms. Rani has been amazing from the very first site visit all the way through the enrollment process--she made everything feel easy and welcoming. You can really tell how much she cares about creating a positive environment for both the kids and parents. This has been a complete 180 from our previous preschool experience, and I'm so grateful we made the switch. Choosing this school has been one of the best decisions we've made for our children. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive preschool.

It meant a lot to us that they ensured Vivaan finished his meals and encouraged him to participate positively in class.

My experience with Little Apples has been absolutely wonderful. I have recommended this preschool…read moreto many of my friends because of the staff's attention to detail and how both my children expressed their enjoyment of school. I started my daughter at little apples at the age of 3 during the pandemic and my son at the age of 2. At the time little apples took all the precautionary measures to keep the students and their family safe. Miss Sharon has always been extremely responsive to questions and my concerns. I appreciated that I could email or call and ask for a short meeting to discuss any concerns I might have had. For example I was concerned about my son's transition to preschool given he was a "biter" but I was reassured by Ms. Sharon with how the staff would handle these types of situations. My daughter has continued with little apples and has been attending their afterschool enrichment program which includes homework help, learning Mandarin, science, STEM, and art. Fastfoward my daughter is now in 2nd grade and my son is in kindergarten, both attending the afterschool program and loving every moment. The staff go above and beyond and both my children have only positive things to share with me when I ask them about their day. They've made so many friends and I've gotten to know many of the other parents. Would highly recommend Little Apples

We were honored to be hired to renovate the entire playground to make it more toddler-friendly, and it was clear throughout the project how much they genuinely care for the children as if they were their own. Sharon, in particular, thoughtfully shared her concerns multiple times about smoothing out the basketball court to ensure it would be safer and less rough for the kids. Their attention to detail and focus on safety truly stood out. As part of the renovation, we also installed foam padding and turf along the retaining wall to help prevent falls and reduce the risk of head injuries. It was a privilege to work with such caring and dedicated individuals who consistently prioritize the safety and happiness of their students.

Teacher Mei is amazing - super professional, observant, and really knows how to guide kids in just the right way. You can tell she genuinely cares about each child's growth, not just "watching" them but actually teaching them real life skills. Plus, she's bilingual in English and Mandarin, which is such a bonus. I feel so lucky to have found MSJCC. Highly recommend it to any parents looking for a place where your kid will not only be safe and happy, but also learn independence little by little.

She is a caring, patient, and professional teacher who truly understands children and knows how to guide them with both love and structure. Ms. Mei pays close attention to each child's needs. Whether it's a learning challenge or an emotional moment, she always takes the initiative to help and communicate with parents. Whenever I've had parenting questions, she patiently offers thoughtful, professional advice. Her support means so much to us. One of the biggest advantages of this center is the bilingual environment. Our child has developed strong skills in both Mandarin and English naturally, which we believe will benefit them greatly in the long run. We've seen some negative reviews, but honestly, some of them seem more like emotional venting than a reflection of the real situation.From our own experience, Ms. Mei and the staff here are truly dedicated and responsible. We highly recommend this center to other families

Both of my children--a 6-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl--spent two wonderful years at MSF. Our…read morejourney began when my son joined Ms. Angeline's class at 3.5 years old, after a disappointing experience at a chain private school. From the moment he started at MSF, we saw a remarkable difference. He was genuinely happy each day and looked forward to his "working time" at school. Ms. Angeline has a deep respect for each child as an individual. She nurtured our son's growth both academically and personally, helping him gain confidence in expressing his needs and tailoring projects to match his interests and developmental needs. The environment she created in the Evergreen B class was warm, engaging, and thoughtfully structured. Because of the incredible experience our son had, we decided to enroll our daughter at MSF as well. She joined Ms. June's class and also had a wonderful time. Coming from a full Chinese-speaking environment, the transition to an English-speaking classroom could have been challenging--but Ms. June, being bilingual, provided the perfect support. Our daughter was very shy at first, but Ms. June thoughtfully paired her with older, bilingual classmates and helped her adjust with care and patience. In less than half a year, school became her favorite place to be. We especially appreciated the school's community spirit and special events, such as International Week and Sharing Night, which brought families together and created lasting memories.

My son attended Montessori School of Fremont for two years before kindergarten, and based on our…read moreexperience, I would not recommend it to other families. My main concern was with his teacher. Over two years, I didn't see meaningful effort to teach or support my son. Instead, the feedback I received was that "your child is not suited for Montessori" -- which felt less like a thoughtful assessment and more like a way to avoid working with him. A Montessori environment is supposed to meet a child where they are; that wasn't our experience. I also found the administrative side of the school to be inflexible in a way that didn't feel parent-friendly. On one occasion in two years, I was ~1 minute late at pickup due to traffic and was charged a late fee. A one-time delay being treated the same as a chronic issue tells you something about the culture. Other parents may have had a different experience, and I'm sure some children thrive here. Ours did not, and I wanted to share an honest account for parents who are weighing this school.

Look no further if you're on the search for a Montessori preschool. My husband commutes to Fremont,…read moreso we thought it was perfect for our son to attend here. As for the campus, the layout is great. The gated fence around the school is secure with a keypad before the building's main door. Classrooms are well designed to have areas for practical life learning, math, language, etc. The structure of their day is perfect. Plenty of balance between Montessori work sessions, outside play, rest time and circle times. Meals and snacks are balanced with nutrition in mind (especially for our picky kiddo, who suddenly liked corn after school one day). We love when our son brings home his artwork and worksheets. Field trips take place on campus, which is a relief in terms of transportation and safety. One time, they brought the petting zoo there! When there are holiday events, the parents and family are welcome to see their performance for Thanksgiving and Christmas. During summer, they offer a fun variety of themes each week as well as some special days (like a Mad Science Show or Cooking week). Our 4-year-old has improved so much. He can be high energy, but the teachers have a lot of patience and understanding. The biggest factor for us was the Mandarin-immersive program. We immediately signed up for the waitlist. It was well worth it. They incorporate 2 circle times-- one in English and another in Mandarin. They learn songs, numbers, basically all of the basics and our son loves saying everything he's learned when he's back home. For their Chinese New Year celebration, they have an amazing dragon dance and have the children sing in Mandarin. The staff goes above and beyond when it comes to the children's education, safety, wellbeing and happiness at this school. Ms July, the school director, was warm and welcoming, remembering every child's name who ran up to us during our tour. Ms Lori, Ms Lydia and Ms Mia have been guiding our son with incredible care and attention. Our son couldn't pick a favorite, so he named each one. We can't thank everyone enough for their hard work and dedication.

Our son had his last day at Empire Montessori in Fremont in August and needless to say, it was a…read morevery bittersweet day! While we are excited (and nervous) for him to move onto kindergarten this Fall, we are sad to leave EMP because they have been so amazing. Entrusting your kid to a school is scary but EMP made the process of transitioning him to a preschool super easy peasy and they were always so supportive, kind and trusting. We enrolled him when he was 3 years old and we kept him until he was 5, even though he could have attended TK when he was 4, but the level of support and care they provided him made it an easy decision to keep him at the preschool longer. The level of growth and maturity in the 2 years he was at EMP was astounding. He was once a timid, shy kid who would just stand there during performances but towards the end,he was belting out songs and doing the little dances. Thank you to the amazing teachers and staff - Ms. July, Ms. Lori, Ms. Lydia, and Ms Mia for teaching him and looking after him, and providing yummy meals and snacks. It's a Mandarin immersion preschool and while our son is still a bit shy to speak in Mandarin, I think it laid a good foundation for him since he is now in a Kindergarten Mandarin immersion school. I wish I could keep him at EMP longer but alas, he's more than ready for the next step in his educational journey, and ready to learn new things. He just started kindergarten and he's doing an awesome job. I am grateful for EMP for laying the foundation in preschool. Thank you to all the amazing teachers and staff!
