Our daughter Reese graduated from their program, passed her testing with flying colors, and was accepted for early entry into Kindergarten--a huge milestone that set her up for success right from the start. Reese absolutely adored every moment at MJLC. She formed such strong bonds with her teachers, especially Ms. Spada and Ms. Emily, who made learning fun, engaging, and tailored to her needs. As parents, we always felt completely supported by the entire team; it's clear that Jess Spada knows how to run an exceptional pre-K program that nurtures both academic and social growth. Now in Kindergarten, Reese is thriving and was even the first in her class to receive a leader award--what a proud moment! We're incredibly grateful we found MJLC. Jess Spada was actually the second person I met when scouting homes in Ahwatukee from out-of-state, and her kindness from day one has been unwavering. We can't express our gratitude enough for the foundation they've given our family. Highly recommend MJLC to any parents seeking a top-notch early education experience!

A Truly Magical Place for Our Daughter…read more Magical Journey Learning Center has truly been a blessing for our family. After trying a few different places, we finally found this incredible center--and instantly fell in love. The warm, family-oriented atmosphere, the welcoming teachers, and the fantastic Director made the transition so much easier for both us and our daughter. The Summer Camp activities were creative, engaging, and fun. I especially want to recognize Ms. Gigi--my daughter can't stop talking about her! She tells everyone how kind and wonderful her teacher is, which is so reassuring for us as parents. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Magical Journey Learning Center to other families!

My son started at Ahwatukee Foothills Montessori (AFM) when he just turned three years old, and…read morenow--at the age of four--we're relocating out of state. In those two years, he has truly blossomed. The school has provided an incredibly loving, nurturing, peaceful, and enriching environment that supports not only academics but also social and emotional growth. His teacher, Ms. Lynn, has been extraordinary--gentle, attentive, and genuinely invested in his development. Ms. Meaghan, the director, leads with both heart and high standards, ensuring every child receives exceptional care and education. My child has also benefited from Spanish lessons with the wonderful Sra. Dolores, gaining confidence in both English and Spanish. Moreover, AFM offers this level of quality education at a significantly more affordable tuition compared to other Montessori schools in the area. They have not only taught my son--they have loved him. This is something I will never forget or be able to repay. I wholeheartedly recommend AFM to any family seeking a school that truly nurtures both the heart and mind of children while fully supporting their parents.

This summer they have absolutely loved their time at Montessori Peace Academy. Ms. Lauren and her staff are amazing and the individual needs of each child are such a priority. The space is big and the ratios are low. I've been so impressed by the efforts to make sure the kids are socially distanced and are following the proper protocols to keep everyone safe. Most importantly, my kids are thriving and they come home each day so excited to talk about their day and what they've learned and created. My girls will outgrow the program in the fall and we will miss this school so much. If you have a preschooler and are looking for a comfortable learning environment where the individual needs of your child are a top priority, I cannot recommend this enough.
