Melissa K.

Rolling Hills Montessori has been great for our little boys! We really love the grounds -- the trees & shaded playground that goes into a sandy play space really make it for us. We have also loved meeting the other parents and families -- as new PV residents, that was also a nice perk for us. Their full hours are 7:30am to 6pm, which has also been helpful for us as we both work. Overall, it has been a wonderful experience that I would recommend.

36-months-old.

I've been on yelp for 14 years and this is my 7th review - I only spend the time to write a review when it's important to me. And, Rolling Hills Montessori is very important to me. My older two children attended two wonderful preschools, but when it came time to enroll my third child in preschool I renewed the process of reviewing schools. I decided to enroll my youngest of three children at RHM - I wish I had found it sooner. I remember decades ago I didn't have a cellphone and I put off purchasing one because I knew that once I had a cellphone I could never go back to not having one. Then, I had a "stupid phone". When I was using my "stupid phone" I put off replacing it with a "smart phone" because I knew once I got a "smart phone" I could never go back to using a "stupid phone". Well, then I got a smart phone and I wondered why I waited so long. RHM is the "Smart Phone" - I thought my children's first preschool (a highly rated multilingual, modern, enrichment-rich, Montessori school) was wonderful until my children began attending the second school (an amazing nature-focused, preparatory school led by certified Early Childhood Specialists and licensed Lead Preschool Teachers). Then, I was happy with their second school, until I found RHM. Finally, I know my youngest child is receiving the best preschool education of all my children. The instruction and lessons in the classroom at RHM carry over to the skills and interests that my youngest child is displaying at our home. She is a happy and responsible child, and is developing skills faster than either of my older children. Once you tour the grounds, see the classrooms, and meet Ms. Michelle (the school wouldn't be here without her) you'll know what I know - this is the best place for kids and the parents who love them.

Sharing our love for RHM Preschool! All three of my kids have thrived here, thanks to the caring and nurturing teachers who truly understand their individual needs. The variety of extracurricular activities keeps my kids excited, and I appreciate how the owner ensures a safe environment while promoting independence. Grateful for this wonderful place that is my babies' second home!

As busy working parents, we usually feel a bit too busy to write reviews about anything, good or…read morebad. But this time we do feel the urge to review and recommend Discovery World, the best childcare and preschool in South Bay Area! We originally toured DW in 2022 when our daughter was 18 months old. But because of their waitlist at that time, we decided to go to another daycare in this area. A huge mistake we really wish we hadn't made (a terrible experience for our little one and us parents too. We had to pull her out there after only one month). Fortunately our baby was able to join DW in 2023/08. Everything is different here. Experienced teachers, friendly staff, fun activities, and so much more! What really impressed us and drew contrast to other preschool is, how loving and caring everyone is at DW. Our daughter was shy at drop off. Every morning, the teachers (thank you Ms. Julie and Ms. Iana) would come greet her and hug her to help her ease into the classroom!!! Every teacher and staff knows every child very well, chats and plays with them. Teachers from different classrooms all learn about every student's hobbies (thanks Ms. Marni for reading "panda book" to our baby) and even their stuffie (they know the names of my daughter's TY "Jenni" kitties:-)). DW communicates with parents all the time (photos and videos every day, several teacher-parent conferences every year). DW offers great curriculum and the teacher execute very well. And DW organize the best activities (playing basketball at The LAB is my daughter's favorite). There are so much more to say about DW... We can't thank you enough Ms. Liana and your whole DW team for the amazing work in our little ones' early education!!!

Our son started at Discovery World when he was 4 months old and recently "graduated" after turning…read more4 and entering TK. Discovery World was such a blessing during his earliest years; he thrived and had wonderful relationships with all his teachers, who always took sincere interest in his well-being and development. They communicated with us often and were always more than happy to give us updates and anecdotes about his day. Discovery World also prepared him well for the move to "real" school, working with him on academic development (e.g., recognizing letters and numbers) and on social development (e.g., articulating feelings and resolving conflict). We've been so happy with Discovery World that we got our daughter on the waitlist before she was born. She's now attending as well, and whenever we pick her up our son's former teachers always ask about him. We're grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our children to spend their preschool years and very much appreciate the thoughtfulness and dedication of the Discovery World teachers and staff.

We absolutely adore his teachers. One of them we actually met at our previous school--she later…read morejoined PCMA and told us about it, which ultimately led us here. Both teachers, Ms. Angie and Ms. Marizol, are truly wonderful with our son. They are encouraging, engaging, patient, and fun. We were told that it can take some children 1-3 months to stop crying after drop-off, but our son stopped crying after just the first week, which speaks volumes about the kindness and care they show him. What impressed us even more is how quickly we began to see growth. After just his first week, our son learned to sneeze into his arm, and we've noticed him forming his sentences more and more each day. The school provides weekly curriculum updates, which we love, and they also focus on a monthly book, reinforcing learning in a thoughtful, intentional way. It truly reflects an authentic Montessori learning style. The campus itself is adorable, spacious, and thoughtfully designed for children. The activities offered are precious and intentional, from the Thanksgiving kiddie potluck to Spirit Week and the Christmas recital. Another huge plus is that the school offers lunch and snacks for an additional $100 per month, which is very reasonable and takes a lot of daily stress off parents. The only con I would note is the number of days off throughout the year while still requiring full monthly tuition. This can be challenging, as it requires parents to take multiple days--and even weeks--off work. That said, it is the only downside we've experienced. We initially gave this school 5 stars, and while we still love and appreciate the teachers, it's important to note that a rating reflects the entire experience--including management. Since we don't deal with administration daily, it hasn't impacted us as much, but our confidence in upper management isn't what it once was. It's still a good option overall, especially because of the teachers--but don't expect the same level of excellence across the board.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at PCMA. Our son started just two months ago, and the…read moregrowth we've seen in such a short time has been incredible. He's more confident, has picked up so many new words, is forming sentences, and is becoming more independent every day--it's been beautiful to watch. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful in how they care for the children and structure their weekly routines. We also really appreciate the monthly lunch menu option--it's affordable, convenient, and includes five meals per week plus snacks, which makes life so much easier. A very special shoutout to his teachers, Ms. Angelica and Ms. Marizol. They have played such a huge role in his growth and development, and it's clear how much care, patience, and intention they bring every day. Another big thank you to the director, Ms. Marissa, who does an amazing job managing the school and ensuring the grounds are always clean, welcoming, and well cared for. She truly goes above and beyond, and it shows in every detail. We're so grateful to have found a place that supports our son's growth in such a nurturing and intentional way. Highly recommend!

Ms. Saima is the most kind, understanding, and patient person that I have known. My daughter was there for almost three years and if we could she will there until College... LOL.

It's all because of Ms. Saima. She speaks to each child as if they're an individual, works with them 1:1 on speaking, emotions, learning, eating, potty training, and more! My son's speech has exploded since he started school here and his food palate has expanded too. The best part is that most Montessori's don't accept children under 18 months but we are able to send both 6 month old and 2.5 year old to the same school. Both children love going to school everyday and I cannot be happier. Also, did I mention meals and snacks are provided for? This is a huge bonus as my partner and I both work.

We transferred him from the sister school South Bay Montessori so in total we've been attending since our son was 2 years old. I absolutely recommend the school! It's brand new, the staff is very friendly, the teacher (Ms Leeza) cares a lot about the kids and keeps the parents update on what they do during the day with pictures and short messages. It works really well for our family needs!

My child has been attending this school since July last year. The building is new which is nice but…read morethey're the most expensive in the area and charge extra for care during the school breaks. The kids also have to go to the sister school during those breaks which is inconvenient. However, we left after a lot of other negative experiences there. Over the past nine months, we've gone through three clinical directors, multiple long-time beloved staff/teachers quitting, multiple visits/violations from the California state department for reports of children not having access to water, older kids being forced to take naps and classrooms being out of ratio (aka teachers having over the limit of kids in a classroom). This is all public information and I encourage parents to review it. Today was the last straw as police were called to the school when a staff member and the director Ms Mary were yelling/arguing in front of the children. We no longer felt this was a safe place for our child and removed them immediately. Extremely disappointing and heartbreaking that this happened in front of kids. I do not recommend this school or the sister school (South Bay Montessori) because they are run by the same director.

I love that they post the lesson plan so you can reinforce the learning at home. There is a lot of communication through the Class Dojo app and postings at school. He also was potty trained fully in 2 months which I was more than happy to pay the extra $25-30 a week for that guidance. They have fun activities like field trips, Christmas recitals, special guests like firemen, dentists, etc. He LOVES his teachers, Ms. Cynthia and Ms. Khalifa and we do too! They really understand each child and their personality nuances. I can share what is happening at home and they help guide and reinforce behavior changes at school. It takes a village to raise a child and I'm so thankful to have Oakwood Academy as part of mine!
