My oldest started in Room 3 with Miss Mishelle, and to this day she is the reason I feel completely at peace dropping my child off every morning, knowing they are in the best hands. The foundation he received in her classroom was huge for him and truly helped prepare him to be accepted into our first-choice, very competitive private school. My daughter started in Room 2, where Ms. Tracy helped potty train her (which I'll always be grateful for), and has since transitioned into Toddler Room 5 with the lovely Nancy. Ms. Dani, who floats around the classrooms is so loved, she's an amazing assisting teacher and an extra helping hand wherever it's needed, and it makes such a difference. The enrichment programs are also a huge bonus...Mandarin and Spanish classes, plus gymnastics and dance during recess, are things you don't find everywhere and add so much to the kids' experience. Whether you plan to continue on to public school (and we're lucky to have some of the best in Palos Verdes) or move on to a competitive private school, your child will be in great hands here. The principal, Michelle Collins, is wonderful, she's always around, approachable, and easy to talk to if anything ever comes up. We truly feel lucky to have had our kids at Rolling Hills Montessori. The teachers genuinely care, and it really shows. I would absolutely recommend this school. Love, the Andrianopoulos Family

She is warm, organized, and genuinely invested in the children and families. You can tell the school is thoughtfully run, and communication is always clear and responsive. The teachers are also outstanding, particularly Ms. Trish and Ms. Michelle. They are patient, attentive, and truly understand how to support each child's development. Our two children have made incredible progress in early reading and writing skills, and the academic foundation being built here is impressive. Our daughter was very ready for Kindergarten when she started. Beyond academics, the school creates a joyful and family community. They do an amazing job incorporating holiday and seasonal activities throughout the year, which makes the experience fun and memorable for the kids while still staying true to Montessori principles. We feel very confident that our remaining son at this school is being nurtured, challenged, and well-prepared for the next stage of learning. Highly recommend this school to any family looking for a strong Montessori program.

The teachers and environment at PV Hills are remarkably loving, nurturing, and dedicated to teaching children invaluable lessons in compassion, self-worth, and social-emotional intelligence. We started during COVID with my oldest daughter, who later transitioned seamlessly into private school. Thanks to PV Hills, she learned how to "make a plan" when facing big feelings and gained the confidence to advocate for herself. She frequently speaks directly with her teachers about her emotional and social needs--a skill that has benefited her in every grade since. My youngest daughter just graduated from PV Hills and started kindergarten. Throughout her time here, every single teacher truly saw her for who she is, tailoring her interests and curiosities into full-fledged classroom activities. From hands-on science to inventing at the "Innovation Station," the curriculum's emphasis on nurturing creativity and process-driven learning is unmatched. If you want your child to build empathy and deep emotional intelligence--critical skills for the future--this is the place. A special shoutout to the extraordinary teaching staff: Teacher Nada: Incredibly intuitive and compassionate. She takes the time to deeply understand each child's individual strengths and helps them gently navigate their fears. Teacher Nika: A brilliant arts and creative guide who helps children channel their unique ideas into tangible, plan-based projects. Teacher Kat: Quite literally the most patient and kind educator I've ever met. I've watched her sit with struggling children and guide them into thriving with pure love and patience. Bonus: The parent community is unlike anywhere else. It's a respectful, thoughtful, and supportive network where families genuinely look out for one another. I cannot recommend PV Hills highly enough!

Our daughter has been attending Peninsula Montessori School since she was two years old, and as she…read moreapproaches her fifth birthday, we are consistently in awe of the confident, curious, and compassionate little person she is becoming. This school has been nothing short of transformative for her development. From the moment we joined the PMS community, it was clear this was a special place. The authentic Montessori environment has allowed her to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. She has learned to follow her own curiosity, work both independently and collaboratively with her peers, and manage her emotions in a supportive setting. The passion for learning is palpable the moment you step into a classroom; the children are engaged, focused, and genuinely proud of their work. Our daughter loves going to school every single day, which is the greatest testament we can offer. Beyond the classroom, the Montessori Parents Association (MPA) hosts incredible events that weave magic into the school year. These events build such a strong sense of community and create unforgettable memories for the students, making their elementary years truly special. We are so grateful to have found Peninsula Montessori. It has provided an unparalleled foundation for our daughter, fostering a joy for learning that we know will stay with her for life. We cannot recommend this school highly enough.

She started right when she turned two, and she has learned so much every day socially and cognitively. What sets this preschool apart is how well it prepares kids for kindergarten. It offers one of the strongest early education programs out there. The student-to-teacher ratio is impressively low compared to other preschools, which is essential for individualized attention. Plus, the school is spacious, with at least three playgrounds, giving kids plenty of room to play and explore. Parking and traffic are barely ever an issue, which makes drop-off and pick-up so much easier. If you're looking for a preschool that genuinely sets your child up for success in elementary school, I highly recommend this one! You don't have to be a resident of PV to attend.

The staff truly cares about the children, and give their all. Also to note, the academic piece is very appropriately aged, and helps prepare the children so well for elementary. Both of my kids joined at 2 years old, prior to potty training (which happened in the middle of that school year - they are saints and they helped!). All are welcome, not just PV residence.

From day one, I knew this place was different. Agnes, the owner, is warm and thoughtful, and Claire, who works one-on-one with Beau, is patient, fun, and truly understands how to support him. What stood out the most? They learned Beau loved Spider-Man and had Spider-Man items waiting for him on his very first day. That thoughtful gesture made him feel safe, seen, and excited to come back. Since starting, Beau has grown tremendously--not only in reading, writing, and math, but in confidence and social skills too. He wants to go to tutoring now, which is something I never thought I'd say!

The songs and learning take place in the cozy classroom. We are regularly blown away at how much our son has learned during his time at Broadacres!
