Our daughter has grown up here, and as she moves over to the kindergarten side, we are genuinely sad to say "see you later" to the preschool staff who have loved and cared for her so well. From day one, we have felt incredibly lucky to have found such a warm, welcoming community. The teachers and staff are not only professional and attentive, they are truly kind, patient, and invested in each child. Our daughter is always excited to go to school, which says everything to me as a parent. One of the things we love most is how family-centered the school is. They do such a great job of bringing everyone together with fun, meaningful events throughout the year, some of our favorites: - The Hawaiian Back-to-School Dinner - Popsicles with POP, where the kids can worship, play, and of course enjoy popsicles - The fall festival - A beautiful Nativity during the holidays - Vacation Bible School (VBS) in the summer These events have helped us build real connections with other families and made the school feel like an extension of our home. We are so grateful for the love, care, and support our daughter has received here. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be nurtured, encouraged, and excited to learn, and where your whole family will feel welcome, I highly recommend POP!

Seems to be very male dominated and not a good environment for children. my daughters friends go here and they feel as if this private school is off putting and some teachers have no experience in teaching. play ground is really small, no room for kids to play and cafeteria even smaller. Great experience with smaller staff but head of school needs to change. very rude. they take all your money for no good outcome in your childs learning. cheap, rude and expensive they really get the parents with an experience they can't uphold. put your kids in a better school with better teachers, staff and curriculum and to the head of school 'wagner' do better.

The school offers Pre-Calculus in eighth…read moregrade for the people who are more skilled in math than other students.It also offers Economics which is a college level course in eighth grade the school is going to open a high school next year, but if you are interested in sending your kid here next year, read this review before you think about anything. First of all, this year, we had a temporary campus for a new campus that was still in construction. The quality was terrible. We could hear the construction from inside and when we were outside we were exposed to the dust that came from the construction it was a nightmare we also had to eat our lunch outside in the sun although they had picnic tables in PE was outside in the grass they gave many people many allergic reactions. And the grass had potholes. Many, many potholes. They have divided the MPR into five classrooms and it was really noisy. It was hard for any students there to focus at all. We were all desperately waiting for the new campus. Oh, and if you think that's bad enough, that was only this year. Last year, three teachers left the school midway two of them fired. And when they had to fire the first teacher they blamed it on the students at the school, even though they specified that they did not want the teacher fired, but they just wanted her to change her teaching habits in a way that would suit all of the students at the school. I mean, are the students not allowed to voice their concerns about the school and make it a better environment for the new students? And they're paying money to go to the school. Which brings me to my next point, the tuition. The year that the school opened, the tuition was twenty four thousand dollars. The tuition kept on increasing over the years, from twenty four thousand dollars to twenty five thousand dollars to twenty six thousand dollars and now twenty seven thousand dollars. The tuition has just been skyrocketing since the school opened. But there are upsides. And when I say upsides, I mean a lot of upsides. First of all, there are only 150 kids at the upper school. That gives teachers a lot more time to communicate with the students at the school and help them with any concepts that they do not understand. Teachers also have office hours after school to help students with any questions they may have. The teachers want the students to learn, and that's what makes this environment important. Everyone works together like one big happy family. The friendships that students make here are everlasting. If you make a friend one year, that friend will never leave your side and will always have your back. The students have such great memories of their past years, and they reminisce one their past experiences at the school. Overall, I would recommend the school for people who are committed to academics and don't care much about extracurricular activities. As BASIS grows there are more and more extracurricular activities that are emerging such as cross country basketball, volleyball, soccer, and flag football, as well as clubs that are offered by the school. Thanks for reading! Edit: After four amazing years, I have decided to transfer to another high school.

This review is long overdue! We love Mission Valley Montessori!!! I first toured this school back…read more at the beginning of 2019 when our 1st daughter was 2 years old and was in awe of how all the children here are so well mannered and calm. Very different compared to other schools I toured. We were placed on a waiting list, enrolled our daughter at another preschool in the meantime and and nearly 18 months later we got a call saying there was an opening for her. Our daughter is extremely shy and has anxiety. Mr. Justin was the head teacher in her class at the time and was so wonderful in guiding and helping her. We chose to keep her at MVM through kindergarten because our younger daughter was also attending and we didn't want to have 2 separate drop off/pick ups. Fast forward to 2025 and we have ended our journey with MVM. Our girls have really enjoyed their time at this school. They have learned so much more than we could have imagined and have made some great friends. In addition to reading, writing (cursive too!) and math, they have been taught how to work with each other and independently, daily life skills, grace and courtesy. The environment is always calm and organized. The teachers and staff are so sweet and it really feels like you're part of a family. There aren't enough words to express our deepest gratitude for all that the MVM staff and teachers have provided for our family.

I've seen so much growth and development in her over the years, starting from when they helped her with potty training in the toddler class to the confident, capable child she is today. The staff here are incredible--Mr. Justin, Ms. Monica, Ms. Toni, Ms. May, Ms. Louisa, and her wonderful toddler teachers have all made a lasting impact. My daughter is always so excited to go to school each morning, which says it all. I can't recommend Mission Valley Montessori highly enough--it's truly a special place.

The Peralta location was a great choice to place our 3 year old son for daycare. Previously he was…read moreattending the Washington location, the staff was great but found that the teachers had a high turn around so he kept getting a new teacher every few months. The transition from one location to the other went smoothly. We love the fact that the classroom size is small so their seems to be more attention to the kids. He has learned a lot and can trace letters/numbers and color within the lines of pictures. At home, he has learned to clean up after himself in regards to putting toys away, its not all the time. If he plays in his bedroom, he will clean up the toys before he goes to bed. Our son loves going to school, he's one of the earlier drop offs and the teachers welcome him with warm greetings in the morning and have him assist with morning tasks. His main teacher is Ms Poonam and he adores her, she has been a great teacher to him and has helped him become fully potty trained! My son was ready to be potty trained and when I asked the staff they would provide me a daily report and eventually were able to get him fully potty trained. It's a big help to have the school support when we were implementing potty training at home.

It's newly remodeled and clean, with a good size play yard that also gets plenty of shade. Most of all we love the teachers, both Ms. Sana and Ms. Poonam. Ms. Sana has provided such a loving and nurturing environment for our child, we are eternally grateful. She is gentle and firm when needed. She also successfully identified our kid was ready for potty training and we were done with diapers within a week because of her incredible work at school! (We don't take any credit for that haha). The school is masterfully orchestrated by Ms. Shawnnen. She was the first familiar face we met when transferring to this location from Irvington and were so glad to see her. She is very supportive and a great communicator. I couldn't recommend the school more. Our kid loves attending this school. She is singing songs, counting and knows many of her letters. She is also mastering a lot of basic life skills, like dressing herself, using utensils and developing her independence, and I know that she is in great hands every single day with her Dusterberry family.

Both of my children--a 6-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl--spent two wonderful years at MSF. Our…read morejourney began when my son joined Ms. Angeline's class at 3.5 years old, after a disappointing experience at a chain private school. From the moment he started at MSF, we saw a remarkable difference. He was genuinely happy each day and looked forward to his "working time" at school. Ms. Angeline has a deep respect for each child as an individual. She nurtured our son's growth both academically and personally, helping him gain confidence in expressing his needs and tailoring projects to match his interests and developmental needs. The environment she created in the Evergreen B class was warm, engaging, and thoughtfully structured. Because of the incredible experience our son had, we decided to enroll our daughter at MSF as well. She joined Ms. June's class and also had a wonderful time. Coming from a full Chinese-speaking environment, the transition to an English-speaking classroom could have been challenging--but Ms. June, being bilingual, provided the perfect support. Our daughter was very shy at first, but Ms. June thoughtfully paired her with older, bilingual classmates and helped her adjust with care and patience. In less than half a year, school became her favorite place to be. We especially appreciated the school's community spirit and special events, such as International Week and Sharing Night, which brought families together and created lasting memories.

My son attended Montessori School of Fremont for two years before kindergarten, and based on our…read moreexperience, I would not recommend it to other families. My main concern was with his teacher. Over two years, I didn't see meaningful effort to teach or support my son. Instead, the feedback I received was that "your child is not suited for Montessori" -- which felt less like a thoughtful assessment and more like a way to avoid working with him. A Montessori environment is supposed to meet a child where they are; that wasn't our experience. I also found the administrative side of the school to be inflexible in a way that didn't feel parent-friendly. On one occasion in two years, I was ~1 minute late at pickup due to traffic and was charged a late fee. A one-time delay being treated the same as a chronic issue tells you something about the culture. Other parents may have had a different experience, and I'm sure some children thrive here. Ours did not, and I wanted to share an honest account for parents who are weighing this school.

They also have Yoga and dance classes, which I am a big fan of, as I don't have to go outside looking for these for my kid. On top of all these classes, they also offer STEM class, which keeps the young minds engaged.

I can only say, that this is one of few daycares program, they really get it. You can bring any of your problems to them, and they will accommodate. Not to mention they focus on academics, as well as outdoor combo. My kid wasn't ready to go out to movie theatre, and she made good headwinds by getting socially very active involved with kids at this site, and went to her first outdoor trip to minion movie. Not to mention they take kids too planetariums, museums, farm trips. Rock On Tulip team.

My parents enrolled me in Genius Kids afterschool and summer camp programs when I was in…read morekindergarten and I continued to attend all the way through the middle of fourth grade (I still remember when one of their locations was called Win With Words!) I have a lot of good memories there, but I have to say they were more related to the friends who attended than the actual learning experience. I'm not sure how the curriculum has changed since I went, but to any inquisitive parents wondering, our schedule usually consisted of being picked up from school, having snack time, doing our school assigned homework, and then free time. They didn't really give us any additional work to do so if you want your kids to get academic enrichment this probably isn't the best place. Summer camp had more ; we did get some work but we took field trips to the nearby elementary schools to stretch out legs and we did do fun activities. My main problem, as other reviews seem to say, is with the management. The teachers at this location were super nice and I was pretty close with a lot of them. I think they did care about the well being of the kids and acted accordingly. I wish I could say the same for Ms. Rennu, Mr. Gill, Ms. Shana, and Ms. Sheena. Even as a young child, I could pick up on the vibe that the staff were scared of being fired for no reason. They would always remind us to be extra neat and proper before a visit from Ms. Rennu so they wouldn't 'get in trouble'. When Ms. Rennu and the rest interacted with us, they were always harsh and impatient. I don't have a single good memory of any of them in all my years of attending. I am now a sophomore in high school and still get an icky feeling whenever someone mentions Ms. Rennu, so it's really not worth traumatizing your kid by sending them here. They also weren't very willing to listen to parents and often treated them condescendingly. Keep in mind that if an elementary school child could pick up on this, it was really a problem. If you're a parent and reading this review, I don't recommend that you send your kid here.

I showed up 20 mins earlier than my appt time (traffic was great) so I waited in my car, I literally did not see a soul come in or out of that place, then I went in and the man that gave me the tour couldn't answer any of my basic questions, how many students a day, grade range, daily routine, nothing. There were no windows, really the whole place gave me the creeps and my son too. As soon as I walked out I got a call from the female director (I think) who had booked my appt for the tour as though she had been alerted to my dissatisfaction of the place and i told her exactly how I felt, she then tried to answer my questions and tried to make excuses for why my questions weren't answered during the tour but I just felt a bad vibe and I never went back!

Pictures are shared thru the app as well which is a bonus! This preschool also has one of the biggest and nicest playgrounds I have ever seen! The kids have so much fun outside each day!

All the…read moreteachers and the director are amazing (in particular Mrs. Rana, Mrs. Reid, and Mrs. Bromley since we interacted with them the most). There's a huge focus not just on academics which they do a great job with, but also social emotional growth, developing character traits, learning about God and the Bible, and just having fun through it all! The playground is incredible and recently renovated with a Tiny Town and a little garden that the kids help tend to. The snacks are healthy and they try to mix it up. The bathrooms are really clean (weird thing to bring up but says a lot!) as is the whole facility. It's nicely air conditioned in the summertime and each classroom has its own HEPA filter. Doors to get into the lobby and another set of doors to the classrooms are keypad locked so it feels super safe. We loved all the opportunities we got to participate in (mother's/father's day breakfasts, Christmas musical, Halloween/Trunk or Treat, Easter egg hunt, etc). One of our son's favorite activities each Wed was chapel time led by Pastor Doug where he got to sing and dance with the whole school. When it came to COVID, the school always kept us updated on any changes in public health guidance and any exposures. We also really appreciated their approach to discipline which was firm but always loving and respectful. KH and FCC invest so much into the kids and if they expanded their program to elementary school, it would be a no brainer to stay. But alas, our son has aged out and we are sad to leave. If we ever find another teacher half as amazing as Mrs. Rana, who taught our son over the last year+, we will count ourselves lucky.
