Ms. Tilly is committed to creating a fun and safe learning environment and has implemented many improvements to the classrooms and playgrounds. She and Ms. Crystal generously put on several fun activities and programs throughout the year that's open to families making it so fun and easy to connect with one another during these special preschool years. We were so lucky to have Ms. Tasha teach both my children! She had them both writing and beginning to read by the end of our time there. Ms. Tasha has many years of experience working with this age group and is truly impressive with how she conducts an organized and structured classroom with plenty of fun, hands on learning experiences. If you're looking for a clean, safe, loving and enriching preschool for your child, I highly recommend Montessori School of San Marcos.

Ms Tasha and Ms Nupur prepared him so well for kindergarten that he feels like it is too easy but it did make it an easier transition. Can't say enough good things about the school. Highly recommend!!

Students here are 2.5-5 years old. There is a 10:1 or so student ratio. The teachers are amazing and work very hard. There does not seem to be much overlap on coverage for their shifts, each teachers contributed significantly to the school and each student. One dislike - There is not as much handholding or personal care as my daughter's previous school: supervised bathroom visits, meal prep for lunches, application of sunscreen before outdoor time. Students are too young to do all of these themselves. I believe this is because of the small staff. The prices are affordable, including before and after school care. I also really love the classes are small and students are known by all teachers. It has a very personal touch that I very much love. We don't feel like customers, as seemed the case at other schools we visited.

It has been remiss of me not to leave a review of this wonderful school after all the great years…read moreour family has spent here. My oldest son was just 18 months old when he first started in the baby room (he's 10 now). Until then, I had never trusted anyone other than family to care for him, so leaving him with new caregivers was incredibly difficult. Ms. Shirin helped make that transition so much easier. She carried him around lovingly, helped him adjust, and showed him so much kindness and patience. In truth, she treated all of the children with that same level of care. One of the things that initially made me choose KidsTown over other programs was the camera system throughout the school. Being able to see firsthand the excellent care the children were receiving gave me tremendous peace of mind. I also loved being able to check in and see my little guy enjoying his day and participating in activities. Before long, he was cleaning up toys at home while singing the "clean up" song he had learned at school! It quickly became clear that this was so much more than daycare--these children are truly learning and growing every day. As he moved into the Pre-K classroom, he began developing strong academic skills and a genuine love of learning. Every teacher he had helped nurture his strengths and encouraged his curiosity. He later moved into the kindergarten and elementary programs, where he continued to flourish with the benefit of close instruction and individualized attention. He has now successfully transitioned to public school, and I truly credit much of his academic success to the strong foundation he built at KTMS. Our second child now attends KTMS. He is autistic and has some additional needs, and the support he has received has been extraordinary. Ms. Karina and Ms. Suzie have been wonderful with him in the toddler classroom. Ms. Karina goes above and beyond every single day to support both him and our family. Before that, Ms. Mala was incredibly loving, patient, and attentive with him in the baby room. Since starting here, we have seen tremendous growth and progress. We could not ask for a more caring, attentive staff or a more positive environment. Supporting a child with extra needs truly takes a team, and at KTMS, we have found our village. While KTMS may not be the least expensive childcare option available, it has absolutely been one of the best investments we have made in our children's future. Mrs. Mahsa, along with her mother, are exceptional administrators. The school is consistently well-run, organized, and responsive. Whenever I had a question or concern, Mahsa was always accessible and proactive in finding solutions. Her years of experience with both children and running a successful school are evident in everything she does. We feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of the KTMS family for so many years, and I would wholeheartedly encourage any parent to consider it for their child.

He thrived at Kid's Town for 3 years and we still stop by to visit now that he's at another school, but I have given many referrals to KTMS and have great experiences with the teachers and staff. Plus, a ton of lovely memories!!

I truly cannot say enough good things about The Way Preschool…read more Our daughter started there when she was almost four years old, and looking back at the past year, I am amazed by how much she has grown. As a bilingual child, we have seen a huge improvement in her English, but even more importantly, we have watched her become more confident, independent, and comfortable expressing herself. One of the things we love most about the school is the amount of outdoor and unstructured play. It is so refreshing to see children encouraged to be children. Watching them play in the mud kitchen, collect rocks, search for worms and frogs, and explore nature has been wonderful. The teachers don't take over their play--they observe, listen, and step in only when needed. Because of this, our daughter has learned how to communicate with her friends, work through small disagreements, create her own games, and build confidence in her own ideas. The teachers are incredible. Communication has always been easy, and I am constantly impressed by how well they know each child. It feels like they truly see and understand who your child is, even in a short amount of time. The learning experiences are thoughtful and engaging. This year, the children watched chicks hatch and followed their journey in the classroom, which was absolutely fascinating. Our daughter would come home excited to tell us about what she had learned. I also have to mention the events and celebrations. The amount of care and attention that goes into creating meaningful memories for the children and families is something really special. Whether it was Mother's Day, Father's Day, or the Christmas musical, every event felt heartfelt and memorable. Seeing our little girl on stage during the Christmas performance is a memory I will cherish forever. The parent-teacher conferences are also incredibly thoughtful and well organized. We always left feeling informed, supported, and reassured. The teachers take the time to discuss your child's progress in detail and answer every question with care and honesty. Most importantly, throughout our time at The Way Preschool, we always felt that our daughter was loved, safe, and genuinely cared for. As a parent, there is nothing more important than that. We are so grateful for the memories, friendships, and experiences our family has had here. Thank you to everyone at The Way Preschool for making our daughter's preschool journey so special.

I had 2 daughters who used to attend the school; I emphasize, "used to."…read moreMy younger in the infant room would come home with a rash at least once a week. I'd leave her with a bag of her things and nearly every day she wouldn't come home with everything unless I checked and asked for them specifically. Then I'd have to wait while they hunted down her bottle, her shoes, her jacket. I'd also had her handed to me twice while wearing a soiled diaper to drive home. I was presumably supposed to change her myself in the car. About 80% of the time I picked up my older daughter (pre-k) they were sitting in front of the TV. So much for Montessori learning; it wasn't even educational, just Disney. My daughter told me her teachers, "were mean." Coming from a 4 year old I, at first, took it with a grain of salt, but after repeatedly overhearing her teacher and the director (Ms. Ivy) yell at, belittle and openly mock children as I came to pick them up I realized she was right. Ms. Ivy wasn't even her teacher, but I could hear her through the walls of her kindergarten class. My daughter, admittedly, used to have some behavioral issues (extreme tantrums) which we were working on at home. As soon as she started attending they were getting worse and worse. Now, only a short time sinse she changed schools, her behavior has made a complete 180°. I've been using the same tactics at home and trying to work with her teachers at both schools. One school made it worse, the other has worked hard and the results are shining brightly. Just to prove my point, during my children's second to last week before I removed them (because you need a long notice before you leave or you have to pay anyway), I was told they were going to be spraying for mosquitoes over the weekend.(They were a problem). On that Friday as I was going to pick up my girls, before I entered the building, I noticed my older daughter's teacher outside with an unmarked spray bottle squirting the bushes, when I asked her what she was doing she said she was spraying for mosquitoes. When I asked what she was spraying she said it was water and vinegar.......... need anything else be said? I will provide that there were 2 teachers there that were great. When Ms. Elizabeth was in the toddler room I never had any problems with my younger one, I don't think she was the normal toddler teacher. Same with Ms. Maggie but I only met in the last month my children were there. She fixed all the problems in my toddler's class, but I couldn't trust my older daughter's teachers or the director. True garbage.
