    I can't say enough good things about Montessori Children's World in Westminster. Over the years,…read moreall three of my children have attended this school and each of them had a wonderful experience. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring and dedicated, creating a safe and nurturing environment where kids can truly thrive. The tuition is very reasonable compared to many other programs and the school is flexible and supportive of families. My children absolutely love their time here and grew so much... Not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. As a former Montessori student myself It's been so meaningful to see the same values and quality of education carried forward for my own kids. I wholeheartedly recommend montessori children's world to any parent looking for a loving, supportive and enriching school community. It has been such a positive part of our lives, and i'm truly grateful for everything they have given my family. Thank you MCW

    Both of my sons have attended MCW in Westminster. My oldest graduated a couple of years ago. I…read morecan't say enough about this school. They have very caring, experienced and knowledgeable staff that care for the children. Some of the things I value most about the program are: - They bring in 3rd party providers that teach yoga, music, dance and art. My boys participated in the yoga, music and art programs. These are at an extra (very reasonable) cost. But it's such a blessing and convenience to be able to have my children participate in these things while at MCW. - Both my boys began reading at the age of 4 due to their program. And we are not parents that are really good about reading every night but somehow their magic worked on both my boys (and many other children that participate in the program). - There is a well protected pool on the premises and every summer the school offers daily swim lessons for the kids. - We absolutely love the Montessori self-guided format of teaching and the way that older and younger kids interact and teach each other in the classroom. - My oldest graduated from their kindergarten program and is now considered an advanced student at the public school that he attends. We love and highly recommend this school and its loving staff.

    Our son recently started in Ms. Gallo's toddler class and is absolutely thriving! We were able to…read moredo a meet & greet before starting which helped him officially put a face to his teacher's name. Ms. Gallo was very informative during the meet & greet and helped eased a lot of my anxieties putting him into a new environment. When he officially started, Ms. Gallo would call and gave updates on how he was doing. Every day after class, she would let us know how his day went and continued to reassure that things would get better. Our son took to her right away. She has been warm, empathetic, and observant of his needs. Over the past couple months, our son has begun to really thrive! He is more confident in himself and very independent. He has taken the skills that he's learned in school and has started generalizing to home. He grabs his plate and utensils when it's meal time. He cleans up after himself when he's done eating. He uses the potty, cleans up, and washes his hands independently. His speech has grown exponentially. He went from speaking in simple sentences with improper grammar and pronoun usage to speaking in complex sentences. It is apparent that his language abilities are really being fostered in class. It is amazing how much he's grown in such a short amount of time. He talks about his friends daily and tells me how much he loves Ms. Gallo. We are so happy that Ms. Gallo is our first teacher and so excited to see how much he'll continue to grow.

    We have truly loved our experience at LePort. Our son was in Ms. Munjee's toddler class, and he…read moreabsolutely flourished under her care. Through her guidance, we watched him grow into a confident, independent, and secure little boy. From the very beginning, it was clear that Ms. Munjee is an exceptionally kind, compassionate, and skilled educator. She communicated with us consistently and thoughtfully, always offering meaningful advice on how to create a rich, supportive environment for our son at home. I'll never forget the sweetness of watching him run up to her with a hug each morning--proof of the trust, comfort, and bond he developed with her. Ms. Munjee gives extraordinary attention to every child in her classroom. She takes the time to understand each student's unique interests and gently encourages them to explore those passions with curiosity and joy. She knew our son loved singing, reading, and ocean animals (especially whales) and she nurtured those interests daily. There is something truly special about the way Ms. Munjee greets each child who walks into her classroom. You can feel how deeply she cares for every student and how committed she is to helping them grow into thoughtful, capable individuals. Many mornings, I watched her patiently help a child self-soothe while also imparting invaluable lessons about boundaries, empathy, and respect. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Ms. Munjee as our son's teacher. We know that because of her care, encouragement, and teachings, he is well prepared to continue thriving in primary with his new teacher, Ms. Syed.

    A year ago, I had to withdraw my daughter from her preschool midway through the school year because…read morethe program wasn't challenging enough for her. Finding a new school at that time wasn't easy. When I first visited FVM, there were no spots available, but I was impressed by how well-organized everything was--from the classrooms to the curriculum. I even asked Ms. Sneha, the school director, if I could pay a higher tuition just to secure a place for my daughter because I wanted her to attend so badly. Fortunately, a family was about to leave, and we were able to enroll her. That turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Since then, my daughter has thrived with teaching tailored to her abilities rather than her age (she has a late birthday, so in the public school system she would still be at the preschool level). Thanks to the support of her teachers, she has excelled academically. After a year at FVM, she took the GATE exam through the school district. Not only was she able to skip a grade, and she was also accepted into the GATE program. I truly believe this wouldn't have happened if she hadn't attended FVM. I'm incredibly grateful to FVM and all the staff. Ms. Sneha is such a kind and caring person. Without her, my daughter wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn here. Ms. Neranja, one of my daughter's primary teachers, holds strong teaching principles, and whenever I speak with her, I feel confident that my daughter is in good hands. My daughter often talks about her teachers at home, especially Ms. Neranja and Ms. Erika. Although my daughter has only been at FVM for a short time, the experience has had a profoundly positive impact and laid a strong foundation for her future educational goals. I cannot thank everyone enough--I am truly grateful.

    We recently wrapped up our time at Fountain Valley Montessori and our family could not be more…read moregrateful. We decided to keep our child here for an additional year instead of moving on to TK. While TK would have been a great transition, this extra year allowed our child to truly come out of their shell. There are some things worth investing in, and while I am a big supporter of public schools, FV Montessori gave my children a foundation that is absolutely priceless. Ms. Gloria is simply the best. She created a nurturing, safe environment for our child to grow, while also providing the structure and rules that are so important. This chapter has officially closed for us, but we will always be thankful to Ms. Gloria, Ms. Gurpreet, Ms. Vivian, Ms. Lindsay, Ms. Sneha, Ms. Jahaira, Ms. Remington, Ms. Madelyn, Ms. Bea, Ms. Alicia, Ms. Paula, Ms. Ana, Ms. Neranja, Ms. Enoka, and all the other incredible teachers and staff who make this school such a gem. Daycare, childcare, preschool--picking the right one can be daunting, but I highly recommend checking out Fountain Valley Montessori. You will not be disappointed.

    If I could give this daycare 100 stars, I absolutely would…read more I originally came to this daycare because I had an 11 month old baby. My three year old at the time was attending another daycare that only accepted children age two and up. I wanted both of my kids in the same place, so I enrolled them here and I am so grateful I did. My son started here when he was about 11 months old, and from the very beginning you could tell the staff genuinely love and have a true passion for children. My daughter started when she was three and was very shy and scared at first, but her teachers and the staff made her feel so comfortable. She was able to be herself here, just like she is at home. I truly love all the staff and the amazing events they put together. They make every holiday so special and fun for the kids Halloween, Easter, open house events, picture days, and so much more. You can really tell how much effort and love they put into creating these moments, and that's something I truly appreciate as a parent. They even allowed me to have a birthday lunch for my daughter's 4th birthday, and she was beyond thrilled. For my son's 1st birthday, they also made it feel so special. Those little moments mean everything, and it shows how much they truly care about each child. My daughter is now four, turning five, and will be graduating with her TK class. Thanks to this daycare, she already knows her ABCs and colors in Spanish, which is amazing. My one year old son already knows his colors, loves singing, and absolutely loves everyone here. What I also really appreciate is that if there is ever an issue or concern, the staff communicates it kindly and respectfully. They truly work as a team with parents to find solutions and support the child, which means so much to me. Even though my daughter will be leaving, my son will continue here and I will gladly make the commute because the care, love, and dedication from the staff is worth it. The atmosphere here is so welcoming my mom loves it, my family loves it, and I love it. I would 100% recommend this daycare. You will not regret choosing this place. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my children.

With one child now in elementary another in TK, we continue to stay because the level of education and personal development is amazing. They focus on not just the child's academic development but social development as well, recognizing that each child is different and has different needs. With the change in ownership in 2025, we have seen increased communication and a new passion for growing the community and improving the school. I can't say how amazing it is to know your kids are part such a warm and welcoming environment. Communication with families is excellent, and we always feel informed and supported. It's clear that the staff and leadership deeply care about the children and the community they're building. Even when we have had issues or concerns the staff there listen to our concerns and work with us to resolve. I would recommend this school to any parents, knowing you will be part of an amazing community.

    I consider myself EXTREMELY lucky to have stumbled upon MCDC back when my first child was 2 years…read moreold. We are now an integrated part of the MCDC family, with students enrolled since 2017. Yes, that's 9 years and still going. I can't say enough how wonderfully the teachers at MCDC care for their students and provide the foundations for independence, emotional IQ, and academics. Now, to be completely transparent, everyone is human, people/businesses make mistakes, but here is the thing about MCDC, they will course-correct and not turn a blind eye to parents' feedback. The school did go through an ownership change during the summer of 2025. Current families at the time, including myself, were obviously concerned; no one ever likes change when something is already so good to be true. Before then, teachers rarely left, but I think, coincidentally, a few teachers left around the same time as the ownership change. To my understanding, it was mainly due to changing personal and family situations. But for the families who remained through the transition, now steady into the new academic year, I feel that the school has continued its strengths and has gotten even better. The new director has invested in facility improvements and brought in new education programs, it's like a breath of fresh air. Shout out to all the teachers there for the amazing work they have done and continue to do with my kids.
