    When discipline issues arise (which with three high-energy kids happens), they communicate the issues with us respectfully and with the goal of working together to resolve the problem.

    At first, I was so excited to find Montessori Achievement Centre, I was looking for a traditional…read moreMontessori preschool for my daughter. During the tour, I asked a few questions to confirm what they advertised on their website -- that they were a traditional Montessori school. I asked Patricia, the founder and director, if there were any ways in which they deviated from traditional Montessori practices and principles and she said, "no, we don't deviate at all from traditional Montessori practices." So, I was shocked when picking up my 2 year old a little early from "Montessori time" (830am-130pm) to find the entire school huddled around a TV watching Troll cartoons. This is a double whammy of violating the Montessori principles of not using technology/screen time and avoiding fantasy. After asking Patricia about it, she confirmed that they put the kids in front of the television when it was hot outside. (With the location in East County, it is hot a lot in the afternoons.) Given that they lied about staying true to traditional Montessori practices and principles, I didn't feel safe continuing to leave my toddler in their care, because I don't trust that they aren't misleading about other areas of their care. I understand if a preschool decides to use TV sometimes, but I don't feel that it's okay to mislead parents about it. Their communication has been terrible from day one, from not telling me everything I needed to bring with her on the first day of school even when I specifically asked, to not informing me of major milestones like the first time she went on the potty. Since I've pulled my daughter out, I have not been able to get a response from the school about getting my full refund (they only sent a check with a portion of the security deposit and no explanation on why they are not refunding me for the entire security deposit plus the days she will not be attending in July) nor a reply to any of my emails.

    My 5 star review is really overdue. My two older children attended this school and had a great…read moreexperience. Years passed and it was time for my baby #3 to find a school. I retoured all the local Montessori schools and decided to come back to Montessori hills for my third. It truly is the best for our family and it seemed like nothing had changed since my other children went to this school. She's been there for months and everything was going well. Until she started biting out of nowhere. We received incident reports and calls from the teachers and principal. I felt so horrible, but all the teachers and the principal have really been supportive through this. They were firm that this is serious because obviously they don't want the other children to get bitten, but they were also caring and understanding that it's part of her development. I'm a third time parent and this is the first time I'm going through this. They gave me so many tools and resources and have given my child extra support during this time. I could not be more grateful for their guidance. I read another review below saying it's a good school until your child is a problem child. Well I felt like my child became the problem child but in my experience they helped support us through the challenges and it seemed like they really cared. They put a plan in place and I felt like we were all a team in helping my child. She's improved so much because of the care and extra support we have all been pouring into her. Again- I am so grateful to the staff, teachers and the principal. I feel like my toddler and us as a family have really been supported here. Thank you Montessori hills.

I did tour about 5 other schools prior to enrolling her & I am 100% sure there is no other school like this one. She loves it there so much and all the friends she has made! From the director all the way down to the newest teacher, they truly care about every single one of the kids. 100/10!

    We are so grateful for Growing Minds and the experience both of our children have had here. From…read morethe very beginning, it was clear that this school goes above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment. The teachers and staff are incredibly attentive and caring. They celebrate milestones and traditions with such thoughtfulness, and their attention to detail really shows in the way they approach both academics and social-emotional development. It is clear that every child is seen, valued, and supported here. Our oldest daughter attended for 3 years and her transition into kindergarten was seamless. She was not only academically prepared but also socially and emotionally ready to thrive in a new setting. Now that she is in elementary school, we continue to see the lasting benefits of her Montessori foundation; she is confident, independent, and loves learning. Our younger child is currently enrolled, and he comes home happy and excited every single day. At such a young age, we can already see how he is flourishing, gaining independence, and building a genuine love for school. Choosing Growing Minds has been one of the best decisions we've made for our children's education and growth. For families looking for a school that combines strong academics with a truly loving and supportive environment, we wholeheartedly recommend Growing Minds.

My son, came here at just as things were reopening after COVID and I had been looking for a steady place for him to learn and grow. He was cared for, challenged, and loved in his years there. (We just finished as he's now heading to Elementary school) Ms. Maggie has been the director there for decades and you can tell she knows what she's doing. She is loving and thoughtful with all of the kiddos. She goes above and beyond and does it in a really humble way. Ms. Marilyn and Ms. Stephanie were my son's primary teachers and he adored them. If you're not used to the Montessori system, you can ask Ms. Maggie about it and make sure it's a fit for you and your kiddo. I honestly wasn't sure at first, but my son thrived. Love this little tiny gem of a school. It will always hold a special place in our hearts .
