For Kindergarten, it combines academic learning, personalities and social abilities building. My kid is happy to go to school every day. She has been taught so well in Language/Math subjects that she has exceeded grade levels based on tests. She also likes the Art, Music, Tech, PE and Spanish classes. Ms. P and Mrs. A are experienced and super nice teachers. They set high standards on learning and personal growth, but also tailoring to each child's overall progress. I like the daily/weekly communication from both teachers. It makes knowing my child's school experience so much easier. For the school, it feels like a welcoming big family. The office is so supportive daily. Principle S. and VP C. are always there taking care of the school and students' needs. Teachers are friendly, students are polite and caring. Parents remain close and support each other. SD offers several activities every month that parents can enjoy with their kids: Annual festival, Breakfast with Santa, Art activities, Music Performance, etc. It also has many sports programs. The Extended Care program after school time has fun activities and is very affordable. My kid enjoys staying in school with her friends all the time. It says that it takes a village to raise a child. We feel that St. Dunstan is providing such wonderful environment to help my kid thrive.

All in one location! I don't have to spend a day on the weekend for a music class or language class. The rooms separate kids by age / skill level and is organized and clean. The study materials motivate my kids to learn challenging math for their age. I find my kids' are more proficient in math compared to the kids at public school. During this past winter break, instead of staying at home, my kid asked to go to Mimi so they can do more math. Last but not least, the teachers care about the progress of my kids. My kid didn't want to practice music and when I told the teachers, they sent a personal voice message to encourage and motivate my child.

Sending our daughter to Millbrae Montessori is definitely one of the best decisions that we have…read moretaken over the course of our stay in the Peninsula. Our daughter has been here for nearly two years and we have seen her grow as a person, learn and build confidence in herself. Both my wife and I have nothing but gratitude for the teachers here. Here are some things I would highlight. - Teachers with vast experience : Miss Perry has been leading Millbrae Montessori for nearly 40 years and is the most kind, passionate and incredible teacher you would ever get. She, along with Miss Nicolle and all the other teachers are just the best set of teachers you want for your kids at this age. Kids love them, they help impart life skills and also help gain confidence. Our daughter absolutely loves all the teachers and loves to be at the school everyday - Diversity : Our daughter has learnt from a diverse set of teachers and students. The teachers encourage learning multiple languages, celebrating different festivals and that has been such an amazing experience - Focus on learning by doing - Extra curriculars - Kids get to do plays, go for fun short trips, participate in festivities, field visits which helps them grow everyday - Regular feedback - The teachers are always willing to share regular feedback - Warmth- Last but not the least, we have been blessed that the teachers here offer warmth to all the kids. For kids this age, it is their home away from home. The school and the teachers go that extra mile to make the child feel that they are loved and are in a safe space. I could go on and on but would just summarize by saying that this is the best pre-school environment that you can offer your child. Thank you Millbrae Montessori.

A: (Raised her voice in front of my child): IT IS YOUR CHILD, YOU KNOW MUCH BETTER THAN I DO. (Soon the examiner told her to turn on the heater as she felt chilled) Me: Here is the snack for her. (The email sent to us especially suggests that we should bring some nut-free snacks) A: (Yelled): YOU CAN'T EAT HERE! Initially, I told myself, wow, she must have a really bad day. But now, after reading some bad comments, I am so relieved that we don't have to go to this school. I don't understand where is the quality of the school admission ppl, especially she treated me like that right in front of my young child. This is defiantly a bully.

Every morning she is out greeting the kids (ALL she knows by name) and parents. She will stop and take the time to speak with anyone who has a suggestion or concern. AND she goes to all school functions. Besides that, she is a fun person with a great personality. The parents are very friendly...you always feel welcome there. I honestly wasn't expecting the other parents to be so involved and so nice to be around. This makes you want to go to all functions because you know you will have a blast. I can't speak for all teachers...but the kids I know all seem happy with their teachers. MY sons kindegarten teacher is top notch in my book! Mrs. Claussen has a wonderful way of being warm and loving with the kids and at the same time, is no pushover and the kids respect her for that. She has a great sense of humor and a wonderful teaching style. There's my 2 cents (more like 80 cents!) If you are deciding whether to have your child attend John Muir, please call Dr. Dunleavy and schedule a tour, you will not be disappointed.
