We have noted this in her performance as it is rated as outstanding by her teacher. The part that gets me about this school is it's elitist attitude toward parents who do not live in district. It is an unwelcoming environment for my daughter as she has complained a lot about the children, parents and administrators. I was troubled to see that they persecute children who are sick too through the tardy/absence process. I was literally told to bring my child in if she is still having a asthma attack by an administrator. If you thought this school was a good school, it is not. It is full of pretentious people, who are not even capable of appropriately stimulating gifted children. I plan to pull my child out of this school by the end of the year.

I feel that I'm a "picky parent" when it comes to schools, and we've been more than happy with the academics, extracurricular offerings, as well as a strong foundation rooted in Catholic faith. They hold the children to a high standard, and character development seems to be just as important as academics, as it should be. No school is without flaw, but it's nothing that you wouldn't find at any school. My daughter loves her school and church community.

This is truly the BEST school to bring your children to! My son started here at 18 months and is…read morenow 4 years old--and he absolutely loves it. He adores his teachers and looks forward to coming every day. He has a big personality that can sometimes be a lot for adults, but the teachers here are incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. They've helped him learn independence while also showing compassion and guiding him to slow down when needed. Ms. Fameeda, the director, is outstanding. She not only checks in with us regularly but also makes my son feel special by letting him be her little helper. When we were expecting our second child, she went above and beyond to support him in adjusting to the idea of becoming a big brother--working at his pace so he never felt overwhelmed. The teachers are wonderful--caring, funny, and always communicative. He especially loves Ms. Tami and thinks it would be the coolest thing to hang out with her outside of school (he doesn't, but the thought makes him so happy!). The school also does a fantastic job of creating community. They host the sweetest holiday events, where the kids get to perform and celebrate--it's always adorable to watch. They also hold parent-teacher conferences to keep us updated on progress, and they were a huge help with potty training too. Overall, I couldn't recommend this school more. The environment, the staff, and the care they provide are unmatched. We're excited for our 6-month-old to join once he's old enough, because we know he'll be just as loved and supported as his big brother.

The foundation she got here was so solid that she was already at first grade level when she started school. My younger one is here now, and I can already see the same love for learning developing in her. Ms. Fahmeeda, the director, is wonderful. She genuinely cares about the kids and their long-term success, not just what they're doing day to day. The teachers are also great--patient and kind. What I really like is the community feeling. My older daughter made friends here that she's still in touch with, and now their younger siblings are classmates with my younger one. It feels like a big extended family. The Montessori style is a big plus. It's not just about the academics--it's about sparking curiosity and independence. I saw that with my 6-year-old, and now again with my 2-year-old. And for the quality of education and care, the fees are very reasonable. Overall, we've been very happy here. I'd definitely recommend Montessori School of San Dimas to other parents looking for a place where their kids can grow, learn, and feel cared for.

Arrow Montessori has truly been a blessing to our family. Our son has attended since last August,…read moreand as we prepare to leave this month for Transitional Kindergarten, it is difficult to put into words just how much this school has meant to us. The positive impact it has had on our son and our family extends far beyond anything a simple Yelp review can fully capture. First and foremost, the leadership and teaching staff are extraordinary. In all our experiences, Arrow Montessori is the first school where we genuinely felt that every educator not only loves children, but also takes the time to understand and support each child as an individual. Their passion for education is immediately evident, and their commitment to nurturing confident, capable, and compassionate young learners is truly inspiring. They are deeply invested in helping shape the next generation, and they do so with remarkable patience, kindness, and heart. One of the aspects we value most is the school's unwavering commitment to safety and emotional well-being. As parents, there is no greater gift than peace of mind, and Arrow Montessori provides exactly that. We feel completely comfortable leaving our son in their care, knowing he is safe, loved, and supported. The teachers go above and beyond to help children feel secure and confident, especially those navigating separation from their parents. Their warmth and attentiveness make a tremendous difference. What also stands out is the genuine sense of community throughout the school. Even the school secretary knows every child and parent by name and greets them with kindness and enthusiasm. That level of personal connection speaks volumes about the culture at Arrow Montessori and reassures us that every member of the staff is invested in the well-being of the children. We have been incredibly fortunate to work with teachers who not only care deeply about their students but also partner closely with parents to support each child's growth and development. A special thank you to Ms. Maria, who is truly best-in-class. Her dedication, professionalism, and love for teaching are exceptional. We would also like to recognize Ms. Jessica, who, despite being newer to Arrow Montessori, has created such a warm, nurturing, and safe environment for her students. Our son frequently talks about his teachers when he is at home, and he often mentions Ms. Jessica and how kind and caring she is. There is no better testament to a teacher's impact than hearing your child speak about them with such affection and admiration. If you're looking for a school where children are genuinely loved, respected, and encouraged to thrive, Arrow Montessori is it. We are incredibly grateful for our time here and will always look back on these years with appreciation and fond memories. The foundation they have helped build for our son is invaluable. Thank you, Arrow Montessori, for everything. We will miss you dearly.

Hello Reader! If you…read morelike you are able to read my original review of this school, I submitted the review on 05/03/2019. Just 4 days later my whole life fell apart. However, I would not know this until many days later because I was in a coma fighting for my life. I woke up at Pomona Valley Hospital on 05/15/19 and I had no idea what had happened. As I became more conscious I learned I was driving my Son home from school; when a young man under the influence of alcohol and drugs crashed into me. My amazing Son Julian was killed instantly and I was badly hurt and unconscious. Virtually everyone who saw me at the hospital told me they were sure I would not make it. My Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Calcaneus, Sternum, Ribs 5-7, Mandible, and Nose were broken. Both my lungs collapsed, I had 2 strokes, and got pneumonia while at the hospital. The day of the accident my wife Jessica called Pastor Lincoln. He immediately started a prayer chain, and had Church/School Officials go to Pomona Valley Hospital to console Jessica and see my condition. They brought water and snacks for my family and prayed for us. I was told Mrs. Lee held my hand and prayed for me for about an hour. My Son Julian's Teacher Mr. Pate came and gave condolences and valuable advice to my Wife. A lot of people from Calvary (most we didn't know or didn't know well) came to the hospital to give support and prayers. It was immensely remarkable. It was my first lesson in TRUE GENUINE CHRISTIANITY. Pastor Lincoln helped my wife with Julian's funeral arrangements and planning. School was actually cancelled the day of Julian's funeral which was held at Calvary Church. I have a lot more to say and many others to thank. However, it is hard to concentrate fully and put everything to words. I'll make it simple, deciding to have Julian attend school at Calvary was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I have met some of the most spiritually beautiful people I have ever encountered. I really believe with all my heart the only reason I am alive, is because of the prayer chain Pastor Lincoln started. Seriously, Calvary Baptist School and Church is absolutely amazing and Godly to the max. Thank you for all you have done for my family and myself.

Truly, the teachers our boys had, along with any assistants they ever ran into, were so kind and nurturing. We cannot thank everyone enough on this campus for all they do and how much love they have for our children. Another thing we appreciated from Foothill Christian preschool was the the visible cleanliness and structured activities. Visible cleanliness was very important to us because our kids were spending so much time here and we wanted them to feel comfortable and be in a sanitary environment. The structured activities the kids participated in were a huge perk of this facility as well because it demonstrated that although some kids are very young, time is not being wasted and very much thought and planning is being incorporated into every activity the children complete. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our experience at this preschool and we know our children received a great education. Additionally, we know our boys' knowledge about our Lord, and his love for all of us, grew tremendously. Every penny spent here was completely worth it! God truly blessed our family with Foothill Christian preschool.

I've heard that LVPPP was indeed a very different school back then! Totally different leadership and teachers.*** First off, a little background on me- I have a degree in childhood development and early education, but first and foremost, I am a parent. And I want to be as involved and connected with my child's life as much as possible. I also fully understand that every child and every family's needs are different. So for us, LVPPP was an ideal fit and we are so happy with our decision to send our daughter there. This preschool fulfills all my wants and prayers for my child's first school experiences outside of our home. Some main highlights: 1. Teachers who are loving, nurturing and care about every single child's life and sees them as whole individuals and unique. My daughter absolutely LOVES her teacher and that's saying a lot for a child who is extremely attached to her mother and has separation anxiety. LVPPP teachers help prepare children and their parents for the transition being "away" from their families for a few hours at a time. They are so patient, so empathetic and really take the time to honor each child's feelings and individuality while modeling cooperation, co-regulation and communication. It is a very warm and home-like environment. 2. Community of caregivers, parents, families who all are working together for the school and the children. LVPPP is a co-op school and is part of the California Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools, which is a network of organized co-ops focused on the principle that the best education will result from an active partnership among parents, teachers, and children. Being a volunteer in my child's classroom 2-3 times a month really has allowed me to get to know the people who actually see my child- I know the teachers very well and also know every single parent and child closely, much like extended family. We have playdates and help watch each others children outside of school as a result, and this has been invaluable benefit being part of this school- where lifelong relationships are fostered. 3. Child-directed, PLAY and inquiry based learning philosophy. PLAY is the work of the child. LVPPP is Reggio Emilia inspired and we love that. It follows my child's natural curiosity and focused on the process versus end product in learning and development. LVPPP's director is extremely knowledgeable and passionate in this area and empowers both students and families to be active agents in their environment. The environment is set up to invite play and exploration. Children engage in messy play, engage all their senses, challenge their fine and gross motor skills, and really tinker and experiment in open-ended play. There's also a big emphasis on social emotional development and regulation. The campus itself is beautiful and every detail has been well thought out to provoke exploration, discussion and creativity. 4. It's a non-profit that's trying to serve the community, providing high quality early childhood education to families in the area. It strives to be very accessible, diverse, inclusive and welcoming to all. All backgrounds are celebrated and family structures. I appreciate the fact that the tuition is quite reasonable and allows families from various levels of means still be able to access a preschool with the bells and whistles you may find at higher end preschools, but it's due to the joint effort of hard work that the families and teachers have contributed from their own time, effort and dedication to make the school what it is. 5. Health and safety is taken seriously especially during this COVID era. The director and leadership stay atop local health authority recommendations and goes above based on the input of the families and what they're comfortable with. We have been very happy with the pragmatic approach that LVPPP takes in trying to ensure the students stay healthy but also understanding that nothing is perfectly avoidable.
