This is the kind of school that you still follow on social media and still look at all your favorite teachers pictures and smile. Teachers are 5 star! Legacy, it has a great security system in the school, with an easy drop off. The school campus is small and great for little ones . 2 to 3-year-olds and even up I think to 5th. I really love the teaching style that my kids have at Legacy Montessori. my daughter and my son attended for two years and kindergarten through second and 3rd-4th. The school teacher Friday is amazing, subject, including speech, intimate, and our favorite mandarin. this one for us to continue a passion for Mandarin and we still have those in Mandarin and now have a live-in aupair from China. The school snd teachers Teach, kindness, respect, and sharing. Really, many of the things most public schools do not take consideration off. Really, still to this day, I value and love that this school took the time to get to know each family, and each child individually. There is upmost love and care for each of the family and children at the school. Unforgettable happy memories will forever be in my heart。Thank you, Ms. Katy, Ms. Shay!

The teachers are highly qualified, with strong educational backgrounds, and are exceptional at guiding children to respect one another and follow school rules in a nurturing environment. What we love most are the school's Christian-based story time, themed learning topics, and weekly sharing activities, which help build both character and a strong sense of community. Their summer program is one of the most family-friendly we've found--an excellent opportunity for families to experience the school and see if it's a good fit. Over the years, our child has gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and developed solid math and reading skills. We're especially touched by the dedication of the teachers, who gather at 7 a.m. to pray for the students and stay until 6 p.m. to care for them with genuine love and commitment. We feel truly blessed to be part of this school and highly recommend it to any family seeking a values-driven, academically enriching environment for their children.

    Before becoming a parent, I did not fully appreciate how important it is to find experienced and…read moretrustworthy childcare. Fortunately, Montessori Center SD has been amazing for our family. We moved to San Diego two years ago. Before that, we had a childcare provider that we really loved, and we were concerned about finding something comparable. I think we contacted close to 25 different providers before deciding on Ms. Elizabeth and Montessori Center SD, and wow, what a great decision. She has far exceeded any expectations we had. We love the balance of free play and structured, Montessori-style learning. It feels like a lot of providers simply slap that word in their branding but aren't actually delivering. Ms. Elizabeth is the real deal, and it feels like our daughters really are learning and growing. Our older daughter started TK this past year, and she was extremely well prepared for basic writing, the ability to sit and concentrate, and general social dynamics. Beyond the basics, we love that Ms. Elizabeth creates opportunities throughout the year to come together and meet the other families and parents. The other amazing thing has been how healthy our kids have stayed over the last two years. In the past, we used to deal with the kids constantly picking up colds and germs, which were then seemingly re-shared and re-circulated without any real resolution. That hasn't happened over the last two years. *knock on wood* we are very grateful for whatever is working. TLDR - I would highly recommend Ms. Elizabeth and Montessori Center SD.

We were searching for a true Montessori school that takes…read morestudents 1 year old and younger, where our little one would be safe and supported in developing independence, life skills, social skills, and her educational interests. She has grown tremendously under Elizabeth's care, in her language skills, educational foundation, and social skills! Elizabeth has met her where she is at and kept her engaged. She has already met kindergarten readiness requirements even though kindergarten is years away. The class size is small, so my little has gotten lots of attention and been supported through success in toilet learning! Elizabeth uses positive discipline and redirection, effectively managing the class without shaming children. This was very important to us! Elizabeth has also been a great support, providing guidance, resources, and insight on how we can implement Montessori principles at home. She has helped me get a better grasp on positive discipline, and also helped me to navigate my child's developmental leaps. I recommend this school to all of my friends for the personalized attention for both students and parents, and true Montessori practices from age 3 months to 5 years!

    My son has been attending Montessori Homeschool of Poway since March 2025, and I cannot say enough…read morewonderful things about this daycare and its incredible teacher, Ms. June. From the very first day, it was clear that this is a warm, thoughtful, and nurturing environment where children truly thrive. The classroom is set inside a home, which gives the entire space a calm, welcoming feeling. It's beautifully arranged with Montessori materials and child-friendly areas that encourage independence, exploration, and learning at each child's own pace. You can immediately sense how intentionally the environment is set up--everything feels purposeful, peaceful, and designed to help little ones feel safe and confident. What truly sets this daycare apart is Ms. June. She plans the most creative, engaging, and thoughtful activities every single day. My son comes home excited to share what he learned, and we've seen incredible growth in his communication, speech, reading, and overall skills. The Montessori approach here isn't just a label--it's genuinely practiced, and the results show. One of the things I appreciate most is how personally involved Ms. June is with each child. She knows them deeply--their strengths, challenges, interests--and she gives them the kind of individual attention that makes them feel seen and supported. It's obvious how much my little one adores her and looks up to her. Under her guidance, my son has already started reading and writing simple words, something we didn't expect this early. Her weekly Friday "Show and Tell" series has also been such a gift--he speaks more confidently and clearly, and it's helped him come out of his shell in the best way. A special mention also goes to Ms. Addie, who is incredibly sweet, gentle, and nurturing. Together, they create a truly loving environment that feels like an extension of home. Our child is genuinely happy to go every single day--and to any parent, that says everything. We could not be more grateful for the foundation he's receiving here. We cannot recommend Montessori Homeschool of Poway, Ms. June, and Ms. Addie enough. They have been such a blessing for our family.

From day one, she helped her transition from a difficult experience at her previous school to a place where she could truly feel at home--comfortable, confident, and excited to come back each day. Brookie often tells us how much fun she has at school, and we've seen incredible growth in her speech, confidence, reading, and writing. One of our favorite moments is listening to her read us bedtime stories--something we never imagined she would enjoy so much at 4! Most of all, we deeply appreciate the exceptional care Ms. June has given. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for her students have made a lasting difference in our daughter's life. It was bittersweet when our daughter transitioned to Kindergarten, but we're so glad that Ms June had given her the tools she needed. She was very well prepared for Kinder. Our son is now enrolled with Ms June and we couldn't be happier. Thank you for all that you do!

    As a parent of a daughter who will graduate from Country Montessori School this year, I find myself…read morefeeling both incredibly proud and genuinely excited as she prepares to head to middle school. When I look at the person she has become, I'm honestly amazed. She is confident, outspoken, and comfortable expressing her thoughts in a way I never was at her age. Montessori has played a huge role in that growth. Over the years, she has learned that her voice matters and that she can advocate for herself and others respectfully and thoughtfully. That confidence didn't come overnight, but it's now such a natural part of who she is. She asks questions, speaks up in group settings, and isn't afraid to share her ideas, which I know will serve her well wherever she goes next. One of the most meaningful parts of her experience has been the emphasis on community service. Her favorite activity has been volunteering at a memory care facility. She comes home from those visits talking about the residents she met and how much it meant to spend time with them. Those experiences have had a real impact on her and have even shaped her future goals. She often says she wants to be a nurse someday because she wants to help people, and as a parent, there's nothing more heartwarming than seeing that sense of compassion grow. As she prepares for the next chapter, I feel confident knowing she has a strong foundation. The academic skills, independence, empathy, and self-confidence she has developed at Country Montessori School have prepared her to face new challenges with resilience and curiosity. Watching her step forward so sure of herself is the greatest testament to the education and community she's been part of all these years.

    We had to leave a review because Country Montessori School has truly been one of the best decisions…read morewe've made for our family. We moved to San Diego from Virginia about two and a half years ago, where we came from a public school system consistently ranked among the best in the country. I was honestly nervous about transitioning into the California school system -- until my husband found CMS. From the moment we learned more about the school, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. CMS is one of the ONLY montessori schools that is fully accredited, and that distinction truly shows in the quality of education and care. Not to mention the teachers require continuing education and are the only facility that teaches the teacher... We now have both of our children enrolled at CMS, and they are absolutely thriving. Our daughter began at CMS not speaking much at all. Today, she is reading (she started before age five), doing addition, and has grown tremendously in vocabulary and confidence. She is developmentally ahead of many of her peers who attend other schools in the area, and watching her growth has been incredible. Our son, who is three started a few months ago and he's a wild one (if you know you know). The transition hasn't been without challenges as he was at home with me and a nanny for several years -- but the CMS team has been unbelievably supportive. They've worked closely with us, offering guidance on how to support him both at school and at home. We've been met with nothing but patience, kindness, and genuine partnership. I've seen some critical reviews online, and I want to be honest -- that has NOT been our experience at all, especially when it comes to Adela. Over the past three years, we have experienced nothing but exceptional communication and unwavering support from her and the team. Adela goes out of her way to make families feel supported, seen, and valued. We go to monthly meet & greets, have had 1:1s with her and get consistent weekly communication - I rarely saw this in other educational spaces both here in CA and in VA. We've also become close with several other CMS families, and they echo the same experience. My only complaint is that the school doesn't go through high school (said half-jokingly), because I would keep my children here forever and would spend my last dollar at CMS. We are endlessly grateful for CMS and wholeheartedly recommend it to any family seeking a nurturing, AUTHENTIC Montessori education.
