They did a test and claims my son is not autistic so they are not going to treat him as such since according to their test results he is NOT autistic. I know this does not do with the school but to the district of Temecula if your kid is not physically showing a disability they are not allowed to ride the bus. Also they just let kids get bullied and they don't do anything about it. In the morning If it's raining outside they are not allowed to go inside they have to stand in the rain till the bell rings and they open the gates then they are allowed to go in. I can go on and on of all the crap this school has put my kids through but I do not have enough characters to do so. Please avoid this school as much as possible. If i could give it 0 stars I would.

Out of the four 2nd grade teachers we became familiar with, she was by far the best. Academically - speaking she is rigorous and does not pass out As easily - one a sign of a good teacher. When my son started to struggle, she contacted us regularly in order to help us help him - maybe a more important sign of a good teacher. He eventually got his grades back up. A final sign of an exceptional teacher is a love for teaching and truly caring about students - which she clearly does. What a great combination - high expectations for academic achievement, good feedback on assignments and exams, and empathy for students. NVES is very lucky to have her!

Furthermore, Sherry Marino was instructed by Mical Bell Andrews to not allow my son, that has known health issues, to go to the health room or call home when he was ill. This was brought to my attention by employees and I have declarations from several faculty. My son suffers from chronic stomach issues and was witnessed sitting through his lunch AND recess with his head on the table in pain after being refused to go to the health room. This school is horrible and nobody seems to want to talk about. I will not be quiet about the continued abuse these poor children are experiencing. When I addressed these issues I was met by a noncaring board member named Jennifer Bursch that could care less about the abuse my son had been through. Her emails were cruel and denying without any concern whatsoever for the truth or facts. I am beside myself at the non Christlike actions of this school and their board of directors. This school has done nothing but deteriorate since Mical Bell was allowed to reside as principal.

Who knew applying to preschool and elementary gives the same pressure and stress as finding a…read morecollege? I'm not saying we are a Rancho Christian lifer, but I will say our experience in both the preschool and elementary school have been positive. After researching, talking to parents, and finally touring a couple of the Temecula schools, we enjoyed the fact that Rancho provided an environment that felt safe, enrichment classes that we felt were important (such as the arts), and also included a space for our kids to grow academically and spiritually. *PRESCHOOL REVIEW* We initially toured the preschool, since my daughter was not yet potty trained (and in order for her to proceed in her age level preschool, she would need to be fully potty trained). This wasn't entirely alarming since most preschools in the area have a "mandatory" deadline, which honestly can be stressful on parents. Both my kids "eased" into it; I've always believed that potty training should be a gentle transition and encouraged, not pushed. What set Rancho apart was the partnership that the admission team provided with us, recommending she start in the summer enrolled in the "Little Tots" program, which would provide her in a 3 month setting that eased her into the routine. Ms. Annalise was an amazing summer school teacher. She was in tune with what our daughter needed (especially since she was switching childcare). During the fall, she switched to Ms. Faith - another amazing teacher who also provided a safe potty environment. Soon enough, she was transitioned over to her grade level class with Ms. Jem and Ms. Shilpi. Three smooth transitions over the course of a year speaks volumes of the staff. She loved all of her teachers, and the app that the school uses - Brightwheel, provided a snapshot of their potty, eating and pix/videos for the day. The only thing I wish is that preschool and elementary somehow used the same platform to streamline communication and forms. Apps I had to download for the school are: -Blackbaud: for all application school forms, tuition/billing schedules, etc -Brightwheel: preschool only app for updates/communication -Band: Elementary school app for updates and communication Pros and Cons: Pros: -Rancho is an excellent communicator via Brightwheel/IG/FB/Email. It's easy to get a hold of someone via phone/Brightwheel, they are responsive which is important as a parent! -After a certain time in the morning, the entrance on the side of the school (closest to the preschool is closed), you will need to go to the front of the school and pass the guard check-in gate. I personally love this since there are measures in place to check any guest that comes in after a certain time. -Each parent/guardian is provided with a check in code. This is used to sign in and out of preschool at the front office. -Great school events and staff -Love that our daughter gets to see her brother (who attends elementary) at some of the school events! -Chapel: our daughter looks forward to chapel Wednesdays. Every preschooler has a blue chapel shirt; the service is age appropriate, while providing them with a spiritual baseline. Cons: -The exit gate isn't always closely monitored. There typically is staff around the area to keep an eye on anyone exiting (along with any kids trying to get out), but this could be better. -Summer school logistics was a little chaotic. And this comes from being a first time Rancho parent. We were unsure of where to go for early drop-off or late pickup. -Preschool feels siloed, I wish there was more cohesion between Preschool, Elementary and High School. Overall, we love the fact that our daughter has had a good experience with both the staff and her classmates. We feel that our voices are heard if there is ever an issue, and that for the most part administration is also visible and pleasant to communicate with! Will post our experience with elementary soon!

Traffic at drop off and pick up is a challenge, some entitled parents don't care about rules but we can't hold that against TMS. My son will make the most of his time here!

More than just a school, Peppertree is a whole support system that not only empowers my children to…read morethrive, but also empowers me to improve my parenting everyday. As a parent, choosing the right educational environment for my children was one of the most important decisions I needed to make--and I can wholeheartedly say that Peppertree Montessori School has exceeded every expectation. From day one, it was clear that this school doesn't just follow the Montessori method; it embodies it. The school nurtures each child's unique potential with a deep respect for their individuality. My children are encouraged to explore their interests at their own pace, which has fostered an incredible sense of independence, confidence, and curiosity. Rather than being rushed through a standardized curriculum, they are allowed to fully engage with concepts in a hands-on, meaningful way. The educators at Peppertree are not just teachers; they are keen observers and compassionate guides.. and not just for my children but for parents as well. They provide gentle encouragement while trusting the child's inner drive to learn, which is a cornerstone of the Montessori philosophy. I've seen my kids develop not just academically, but emotionally and socially. They are becoming problem-solvers, critical thinkers, and empathetic community members. Miss Alejandra and Miss Jessika are an absolute wealth of information to me and my husband. They take the time to help us mirror the Montessori style at home. They help us problem solve and strategize the best approach for behavioral issues we experience outside of the classroom. Caroline recommended excellent parenting books that are helping us improve our parenting techniques. I'm also grateful for the school's commitment to a peaceful and respectful atmosphere. There is a strong emphasis on emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and conflict resolution, which has positively influenced how my children interact both at home and in the world around them. If you are looking for a school that honors your child's individuality, inspires a lifelong love of learning, and creates a nurturing community, I can't recommend Peppertree Montessori enough. It has been a truly transformative experience for our family.

There is a lot I could say. This review is long overdue. Our kids became more aggressive and…read moreirritable after attending here. Something was wrong and the child's teacher was constantly talking down to us. Everything from not bringing the right food to water bottles etc. Our kids in the elementary program told us that the teachers were talking down to them and pitting them against other students. Teachers requesting alcohol for teacher appreciation week- and becoming visibly irritable that we didn't provide alcohol. Keeping alcohol on the school property where kids could access it. This school has so many issues. When we first began we had a wonderful teacher. And she eventually left, and we learned this was in large part because the teachers are also treated poorly . I'm concerned that this school is still operating. If you send your kids here, please know that if their behavior is concerning at home, or if they resist going, or are stressed- it's not just a phase or them getting older like we initially thought. Listen to your child. We saw immediately our children getting better after a month detox from this place- and never sent them back. Beware of this place. It's just a paycheck for most the staff there - your kids deserve better. Take the pay cut, bring your kids home, whatever you have to do to keep them home and safe. This is not the place.
