There is a low teacher/child ratio and low turnover among the teachers who are well educated/trained and supported. The school fosters a community experience where families make lasting connections. The unfailing kindness of the place is really something special. My son relished the chance to play outside most of the day on most days. The Spanish immersion gave my son awareness of other languages and cultures, which was so exciting to observe as a parent.

The staff is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to every child's growth and happiness. We always felt confident and grateful knowing our kids were in such good hands. Leaving was bittersweet, as it was simply time to move on to the next school, but we will truly miss the entire team. If you are thinking about bringing your children here, just do it....you won't regret it!

MCS is an amazing school with phenomenal teachers and staff!…read more Our daughter spent her very first year of school / preschool here before transitioning to CMP Carmichael, right next door. On our daughters very first day of school, her teachers, Ms. Serena and Ms. Malih were so caring and thoughtful with her. She was nervous to be there and didn't want us to leave in the morning. Ms. Serena took her by the hand and spoke gently with her, and made her feel more comfortable. We knew we were leaving our daughter in good hands that morning, and the positive experiences continued on until our last day of school. The office staff is very friendly, and always makes me feel as if I'm part of the MCS family when I talk to them on the phone, or see them in person in the office. Whenever I stop by the office with my daughter, Ms. Galina goes out of her way to say hi to her and often gives her a warm hug and sometimes a sticker =) I would highly recommend Montessori Childrens School to my anyone I know that I is looking for a wonderful, caring place for the children to go to school / daycare, or anyone that plans to continue with the Montessori teaching philosophy.

I would think twice about this place…read more I had my two year old son on the list here and was told I had a spot in their two year old classroom. My son has autism though, and so they said I needed an aide or they would not allow him to attend. So I went through hell to get the aide set up. It took weeks and hours and hours on the phone and filling out paperwork. And then I went to tour the two year old class with my son. I told them I wanted him to be with kiddos his own age to have the opportunities to learn the skills other two year olds were learning. And everything was fine, but when I was leaving after the tour they said they had decided it was a good idea to start my son in the younger classroom, which they said was 18-36 months. Even though he had a spot in the two year old class? But then when I asked for the pricing schedule for that class, it was listed as 12-24 months. My son is two and a half. So I called back and said why are you trying to put my two year old son in a class that's not for his age when you told me there is a spot in the two year old class? And they insisted there were two year olds in the class. But when I pushed to find out exactly how many, I found out they were actually moving all of the two year olds up to the two year old class right when my son would start, so he would not have any kids the same age in that class. And they had given my spot in the two year old class away to one of those kids. So now I no longer had the spot that existed for him anymore. As if life wasn't hard enough being a parent of an autistic child. It's hard as hell. And then you have to deal with people trying to deny your kid the same opportunities as other kids. My son is a sweet, gentle little two year old boy, no behavioral issues, loves being around other kids, and he was going to have an aide for the time he was there at their insistence. And he needs the opportunity to learn the same skills other kids learn in daycare. If you have an autistic child or know anyone who has an autistic child, think carefully about which businesses you want to support and which you don't.

I would definitely recommend our school, our campus, to anyone wanting more for their kids, want their kids to benefit from a mixed grade class, learn time management, have the ability to learn at their own pace, or if they struggle with sitting in a desk. The kids learn empathy & classic games & skills. The kids have access to Rosetta Stone. There are tons of amazing after school programs specializing in the sciences & arts. The classrooms are quiet for the most part. The Montessori material is beautiful & appealing to the students. My daughter was thrilled at the learning environment. The gated Campus is beautiful & well cared for by the parents and students. Currently with uniforms it make getting ready in the morning so easy. Full time Art class, library & science lab. At my 3rd year & with 2 kids on campus I find lots to help with. With class field trips, holiday banquet lunches, fairs, parades, a-thons, Art Docent, reading with kids, dinners, breakfasts, hot lunch days, campus clean up days, & now my first year as a room parent. I love our school parents. They are so willing to help. They all want whats best for their kids & to give them the best experience. As a charter school CMP don't get the funds that other schools get, so our parents step up & make it work. I have had my fair share of the schools growing pains, with 3 new to the school teachers (2 with no Montessori training and 1 who was new all around) as well as 3 who were seasoned Montessori. This school does it's best to give them all the support a school can to anyone new to any school. The new teachers have mentors & training on & off campus. Each year they quickly find their groove. The office staff is supper friendly and makes themselves available. I struggle sometimes, but its cause I love my kids & want the best, I know the Carmichael campus wants that too. So I know my positive resolutions come from my attitude & my Montessori approach & understanding as I work things out with parents, teachers or staff, most especially with my kids.

I got sexual assaulted by another student on campus , with multiple teacher witnesses. guess what…read morethey did? absolutely nothing, they told the student I reported them which caused me so much bullying I had to switch schools. I attended here 2nd-7th grade. Do NOT enroll in this schools middle school, they have 3 teachers who have to teach 70 kids. They also do NOT know how to handle bullying at all, I was relentlessly bullied here, switching classes didn't do anything because of how tight knit every class is with each other. They also have a terrible special education curriculum. They know how to handle the kids but not teach them in ways thatll help growth. This is an OK school if you have a young kid but when you get to Upper El and above they get lazy and do care (grades 4-8th) and they also group up 4-6th graders in one class which makes teaching difficult as everyone receives the same kind of teachings.
