I especially loved Sarah's communication style with both the parents and kids. She was always quick to answer my questions and provide feedback about our daughter. It was very clear how much the kids loved each other and the teachers, everyone was always saying "I love you". Wishing Sarah and MSH the best of luck with the new location!

From the very beginning, she absolutely loved being there -- and as parents, we felt the same. The warmth, structure, and intentionality of the program helped our daughter thrive. She learned to read by age three, developed strong social and emotional skills, and grew deeply curious about the world around her. Miss Sarah has created something truly special. Her curriculum fosters independence, empathy, and a real love for learning. She was always available -- whether by message or phone call -- and her communication gave us so much peace of mind. Though we were sad when the school moved to its new location in Poway, we are so happy for Miss Sarah and her new chapter. Montessori Schoolhouse is one of a kind, and we're forever grateful to have been part of the school community. Gloria

The teachers are so thoughtful and amazing. They have engaging activities and really think of ways to make every kid special. They have a holiday program and are culturally aware of all traditions. The summer program they have is the best! The weeks are themed, they bring special character guests and activities. As for the owner, I don't know where our family would be without her. She is a true gem. She is so loving and understanding of all family dynamics. She does outreach for multiple communities and is always looking at ways to help out. Sanja and the teachers there really treat the kids like they are their own. We are so blessed to have found such a wonderful place for our kids.

The school has the most beautiful outdoor area, it honestly feels like you're tucked away in the woods, and it gives the whole school such a calm, charming atmosphere. The teachers and staff are incredible. They are warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in every child. My son absolutely loves preschool and his teacher; he's excited to go every single day! Over the years, we've made so many memories at chapel, performances, and family picnics. There's also such a strong sense of community among the families and staff. It really feels like everyone knows and supports one another. Even though we live in Scripps Ranch, it's absolutely worth the drive. North City Preschool is a true hidden gem, and we're so grateful to have been part of this amazing place for all three of our kids!

We absolutely cannot say enough good things about this preschool. What a GEM! From the second we…read morehad our tour... I've never seen a school more magical for little ones. The homey details in each classroom. From built in tree houses, to dress up, to cozy nooks- this place is really the perfect environment for growing littles! Our daughter had struggled at her past preschool with emotional control. Coming to NCP has helped mold her in such a short period of time. The manner of their teachers is so different. Empathetic, kind, patient, FUN- truly I could go on and on. We wish we would have found them sooner!

But Miss Tina, Miss Hazel, Miss Sarah, Miss Shar, Miss Sammy and Miss Carolyn. They greeted us with these big, genuine smiles and knelt down right away to say hi to her, not me. It melted that knot in my stomach. They're so warm, so patient, and honestly--they've built this little family vibe where kids feel safe and parents feel seen. She comes home giggling about songs and crafts, and I leave every morning knowing she's in the best hands. If you're nervous about preschool, this place makes it easy to breathe."

We went through a handful of home-based preschools that were not up to par; and we are grateful for Children's Preschool, Miss Rene, and everyone there! My children and I love everyone there, and I even heard my daughter say how sad she was to leave when it was time for her to begin her new school. She still misses it to this day, so we stop by to say hello and she runs with joy inside to hug her friends. There tends to be a wait-list for a reason:) It's worth it!

Extremely disappointed. If you are a parent looking for reliable care for your children, who…read morecommunicates with you and who understands the stress that comes with searching for child care, then I DO NOT recommend this place. They will take your money to add you to an imaginary waitlist, which they will then "pause" without notice and without a refund of your deposit. I paid the waitlist fee of $150 on April 6, 2022 with a projected opening spot of December 2022 for my infant. I inquired numerous times regarding my place on the waitlist, only to be given vague responses such as: 1. "We are still working our way through the waitlist" 2. "We have paused all Poway enrollment at this time, we are hoping to enroll new children very shortly into our center. I will be in touch with you soon once we start to move down the waitlist", and 3. "Once we come across your name on the waitlist and a spot becomes available I will be in touch with you immediately." It's the end of January 2023 and I have yet to hear from them. My family and I waited and waited to hear from them, and were not able asses our childcare options properly due to their lack of communication. At this point, I don't believe there is even a waitlist anymore, and i just lost $150 at no fault of our own. If I had removed myself from the waitlist I would understand not getting a refund, but that is not the case. I'm still here waiting for them to "come across my name." I would not recommend taking the chance. Good luck, parents!
