Our daughter attended La Petite Montessori for the past three years, and our experience has been…read morenothing short of outstanding. The nurturing environment and well-structured curriculum have significantly contributed to her development and growth. From the moment we enrolled her, we were impressed by the personalized attention given to each child. Teacher Nada created an atmosphere where our daughter felt safe, valued, and encouraged to explore her interests.The Montessori method employed by the school fostered a love for learning in our daughter. We saw remarkable improvements in her confidence, problem-solving abilities, and social skills. The hands-on learning approach and the beautiful, organized classroom environment made her excited to go to school every day. She is reading advanced words and sentences at 5 years of age and most importantly has developed a love for books. Communication with parents was excellent. We were kept informed about her progress through regular updates. The school is supportive of working parents. We are deeply grateful to the school for providing such a wonderful start to our daughter's educational journey.. We highly recommend LPM to any parent looking for a place where their child can thrive both academically and personally.

We couldn't be more appreciative of the support of Nada and her staff over the last few years. As many parents have experienced, their children's abilities and personalities are unique. Nada's approach to integrating my children into the environment and meeting milestones were appropriately varied dependent on the child and developmental stage. Nada's environment is structured and exposes children to developmentally appropriate concepts over time. My five year old entering kindergarten has learned to read age appropriate books and has learned basic math principles including multiplication (I would have never thought to teach multiplication to a five year old). The Montessori environment has also presented the opportunity to learn leadership skills as they grow to be the older children in the classroom. My family participates in Nada's lunch program which includes fresh cooked/prepared lunch daily. Somehow Nada's veggies taste better than mine because they eat the bell peppers at school ‍. We openly recommend La Petite Montessori and are thankful to Nada and her staff for the contributions to our children's development past, present, and future.

I liked this place so much I had another kid just to send them here!…read more Well, not really. But there was no question that once our second daughter was old enough that she'd go to San Mateo Montessori. We've sampled many of the day-care/pre-school programs in or near San Mateo, with an emphasis on Montessori programs, and hands down, this one is the most professionally run and has the highest quality environment. As a working professional with a demanding schedule, I have a few must-haves when I go to select learning environments for my children: 1) To be certain that my kid is in a safe environment that challenges them to grow to their fullest potential. 2) To work with talented child-development professionals whose experiences with my kid leads to insights and recommendations that I can unreservedly trust. 3) To be able to trust in the professionalism of the staff and observe consistent high-quality operations. This one sounds obvious, but I am constantly amazed at the unprofessional conduct of most day-care/learning environments. San Mateo Montessori hits the ball out of the park in all three of these areas. It's a special place, and both my kids have thrived there. Yours probably will too!

I have seen a real evolution of her behavior and attitude towards school, I feel this is a direct result of the passion of the teachers and their belief in the Montessori system. The location is easy to get to, safe for drop offs and parking is always easy to find. There was a ownership change since we have been there and while that transition was not a pleasant one - the new owners have been keen to address any concerns that we had and have surpassed our expectations.

He makes friends so easily, and that was something we were worried about post pandemic. The teachers keep us up to date on our son's development and are open to teachers conferences year round.

The directors Ann and Angela, Teacher Beckie, Teacher Virigina, and all the rest- are the best. We adore all the teachers there. My youngest remembers the songs they sing, about who the officer was during their circle time, he tells me about historical figures and the science of his internal organs!

We have two kids graduated from PRINTS kindergarten. One started already in Children's House and…read morecompleted, the other started from Nido and also completed Children's House. The kids actually did not overlap due to age difference, but we had such a great experience with the first one when we first moved to the Bay Area, we decided to send the second one there as well. What we like about PRINTS: 1. The campus is very clean, and managed to have in-person learning with only 1 minor disruption starting back in summer 2020 (with camps first) and continued throughout, while the public schools remained in distance learning mode. 2. The freshly cooked meals are excellent. The younger kid literally loved the meals at PRINTS more than anywhere else. 3. Teaching standard very high, and kids have no problem transitioning to public schools afterward. (I came from a family with many professors and teachers and have a doctoral degree myself.)

He is offered solids, and they are even following his cues and place him on the potty. The daycare providers all are very loving and invested in the progress and growth of our son. We even had a few questions on sleep training and they lent us a book from the school library that was incredibly informative. It's such a relief to not have to worry about his safety and well being while we're away at work. Yes, they are pricier than the other programs, and while we were fortunate enough to have been admitted in a few infant day cares and had options, we opted for PRINTS because the atmosphere was much more calm, clean, and organized, which translated into providers being more focused on the kids. Our little guy is very happy here, and their investment in our son's milestones is pushing us to be better parents--we've gotten more proactive with introducing solids and potty time to our kiddo! I have a friend whose daughters are enrolled in the Emeryville PRINTS location and they are very happy at that location as well!
