When my oldest son started going to The Learning Tree Montessori Preschool we met a parent who all…read moreher three boys had attended the preschool. She told us that when the boys were going here, her husband had received a job offer in a different State and turned it down because of the education and foundation the boys were getting at The Learning Tree. This definitely grabbed my attention and I came to appreciate this even more as I saw how well my son was doing. She went to tell us her boys were now excelling in school and had all skipped grades due to being very advanced for their age. My oldest has followed these same footsteps and is excelling in school. And he also skipped a grade. Our 2 other kids are currently enrolled and are doing extremely well. Mrs Nilu has a very structured system, builds an extremely valuable educational foundation in the kids, cares deeply about them and providesa safe and very clean environment. Every so often on Saturday or Sunday my daughter will get upset that she can't go to Mrs Nilu's!

We are so happy and lucky we found Ms. Nilu. Our kids have been thriving since the day they…read morestarted. Our 4 year old is already reading! He can count (and write) to almost 1000, can do simple addition/subtraction, knows basic geography... the list goes on and on. It is truly spectacular and well beyond his years! He will be more than ready when he starts K-12... in fact, I have no doubt he will be advanced. His behavior has also improved significantly. She is so dedicated, attentive, loving, and with the right amount of strictness. Overall a great package. Her aides are wonderful too. I can't say enough good things about her and her school. Thank you Ms. Nilu for everything!

We are beyond grateful to have found Desert Montessori Academy in Palmdale. As parents, it means…read moreeverything to us to have a school where our son is allowed to be a child--to grow, learn, and develop at his own pace rather than being pushed to meet arbitrary "standards." The environment at DMA is nurturing, respectful, and truly centered around the individual needs of each student. We've seen our son flourish not just academically, but emotionally and socially, in ways we never expected. The educators here clearly care deeply and treat each child as a whole person, not just a number or a test score. If you're looking for a school that honors the natural curiosity and uniqueness of children, we cannot recommend Desert Montessori Academy enough.

She's really opened up and become so much more confident. She adores her teachers, and I genuinely trust and appreciate them as well. Every day, the kids engage in hands-on, imaginative activities, which I think is so important. The small playground is a great bonus, too. Overall, the environment is warm, welcoming, and truly trustworthy. I'll definitely be enrolling my second child when the time comes. Thank you, DMA!

I found this school browsing online and saw all of the amazing yelp reviews. I got lucky because the school is also close to my work and home. It was the perfect fit and there were openings. I found this school right on time as I was just beginning a new job. My daughter has been attending Lancaster Montessori for almost 2 years now. My daughter has met all of her developmental milestones, is taught mannerisms, and various social skills. They celebrate birthdays and holidays. They have parties and Winter Recitals. The kids make us the cutest gifts. I have so much saved art from my baby girl. The staff are truly mommies away from home. My daughter was fully potty-trained by the age of 2. The staff/teachers are absolutely amazing and truly go above and beyond for our children. Ms.Karen, Ms. Karina, and Ms. Anel I could never thank you enough for the love and support you have provided to me and my daughter. The staff here truly love and care for our children just like their own. They keep our children safe at all times. I have never had any bad experiences. The children that attend the school are well behaved and have been a positive influence on my daughter. This is the absolute best Montessori Pre- School in the AV!

WARNING to Parents: Toddler Left Naked for 45+ Minutes Over Potty Training Policy…read more I'm posting this to inform other parents about what happened to my 2-year-old daughter while she was enrolled here. She is not fully potty trained by their standards. One day, she had an accident, and the staff left her completely undressed in the bathroom for 45+ minutes. They told me they would not help her get dressed unless I either came in person to do it myself or paid additional money. When I arrived, she was still unclothed. There was no medical or disciplinary reason -- just a policy they enforced tied to toileting status and payment. Refusing to assist a toddler with basic care needs, especially hygiene and clothing, is unacceptable. At this age, children rely entirely on adults to meet their needs, and any facility working with toddlers should be equipped to handle toileting accidents in a safe and respectful way. If you're considering this school, I strongly recommend asking specific questions about how they handle toileting, accidents, and what support they actually provide when a child needs help. This experience was extremely disappointing and raises serious concerns about their practices.

Professional, Caring, and Patient - Highly Recommend Small Wonder Daycare…read more I waited a few months before leaving this review so I could really see how things went with my son at Small Wonder Daycare and I'm so glad I did. From day one, Ms. Veronica (the owner), along with Maddie, Ms. Rayen, Ms. Anna,Ms. Johnson,Ms. Evelyn and the rest of the staff and aides, have been amazing. My son needed a little extra attention adjusting to a new routine, and they showed him and me incredible patience and care. They kept in touch, sent updates and photos, and made sure I felt confident leaving him in their hands. Some of the negative reviews I've seen seem to come from parents expecting constant personal attention. I get it as parents, we worry and want to talk to teachers often. I've had moments where I didn't fully understand certain rules at first either. But rules are rules, and policies are policies they're in place to keep children safe, comply with laws, and keep the daycare running smoothly. For example, I've seen complaints about potty training policies. While I understand why a parent might be upset, as a business owner Ms. Veronica has to follow regulations and safety protocols. If a child isn't fully potty trained, there are certain things aides can and can't do, and extra care sometimes comes with extra costs. It's not that they don't care they care deeply but they also have to meet licensing standards and protect the children and staff. Over time, I've come to truly appreciate their professionalism. Not only is Small Wonder a safe, loving environment, but it's also an educational one. My son has learned his numbers, months, and made huge strides in social skills. The program is both play based and school-focused, giving the kids the best of both worlds. If you're looking for a small, private, more intimate daycare where children are loved, taught, and cared for in a professional and patient way, I highly recommend Small Wonder Daycare. They've made a real difference for my son, and I'm grateful to have found them. If you are looking for a day care make a decision based off your own experience and not what one disappointment from a parent says. Understand it's a business as well as a day care facility. There are cameras in the facility as well. I'm sure parents can ask to see that as well, if ever needed. Not everyone is going to be happy and trust me I was one of the more difficult parents and small wonders was patient and kind. I seen another review stating that Miss Veronica treats you and your children different if you are not of a specific race, color, ethnic background or doesn't reach her family dynamic qualifications. That's not true because I am bi-racial, (African American and Latina), and I've never felt myself or my child has ever been discriminated against . But to each its own! I think this facility is great ! I have attached pictures to back up my review . I highly recommend this facility!!
