Before my wife and I enrolled our son at Flintridge, my view of most montessori day cares was one…read moreof ambivalence. Our son had involvement in some early start programs, a mix of nanny's and babysitters, but little to bring him out of his shell. On a recommendation, we enrolled him at Flintridge. We witnessed our son flourish, socially blossom into a far more gregarious and enthusiastic participant in play, and embrace his weekend extracurriculars with more vigor and attention. I assumed at first this was just the result of more socialization, but the more time I spent with the teachers on this small campus, I realized it was the result of their curriculum, compassion, and genuine interest in each child's success. My wife and I found ourselves shocked when our once shy wallflower took front stage of a school recital and pantomimed a song and dance we never once rehearsed at home, unbeknownst to us but no less welcome. We had every opportunity to involve ourselves in the day-to-day of the class without any news or emails feeling overbearing. Pick Up and Drop Off was always pleasant, and the fellow parents we met felt like community. I say without hyperbole that I will truly miss Flintridge Montessori, and recommend it to any parent and child without reservation. An extra shoutout to Ms Joyce, Ms Melo, Ms Karly, but much love to all of the wonderful staff.

After doing my research amongst the different pre-schools in the area and visiting a few of them, I…read moredecided to send my child to Flintridge Montessori School. When it came time to send my other child to pre-school, I without a doubt, wanted to send him to FMS. They both competed their toddler through TK/K program. At FMS, their teaching style is the Montessori method. It is well balanced with social, academic, hands-on learning, then they add in workbooks as they get older. The classrooms are always clean and organized, never cluttered. They have "toys" for learning, which are kid accessible, on low shelves, easy for them to reach. I like their play yard. They have age-appropriate play structure, sand pit, tricycles, rock climbing wall. I like that you can visibly see every part of the yard from the classroom locations. Many of the teachers have been there over 5, 10, 15+ years. Special shout out to Ms. Joyce (curriculum director /lead teacher), Ms. Melo, Ms. Hilda (lead teacher), - who are in the pre-school classes and they taught both my kids. Along with the other FLM teachers, they are all caring, nurturing, welcoming to my kids. Every morning, you will see them working 1:1 with the kids on their letters, numbers, lifecyles of a plant; while other kids are playing with their Montessori toys or doing an activity with the other teachers. They even had an incubator to let the student watch fertilized eggs develop and hatch while learning about biology and life cycles. My younger child went onto the TK/K class, he was taught by Ms. Jasmine (lead teacher) and Ms. Karly. Every morning, like the other classes, she is always so happy to see my child, providing me updates on his development. She too, working 1:1 with each child. By the end of TK, he was able read full sentences, do 1st grade level workbooks, solve simple math and subtraction problems, and name the state capitols. He is WAY more than ready to go into Kinder! Other highlights that I liked about the school are the showcases, held every holiday and spring, in which each class puts on an amazing performance organized by the teachers. The kids will perform several songs with choreography. I look forward to these every year. Potty training offered at the school was immensely beneficial. They made it so easy. After school care is another reason that I choose FMS. All the after school teachers are kind, playing and reading with the kids. They have a variety of days/hours/plans to choose from based on your needs. For working parents, this is very important. They are open even when other schools are closed for most winter and summer breaks. They are only closed for teacher trainings and holidays. Extracurricular after school activities is offered there for an additional, nominal fee. They have soccer shots, dance classes, art classes, and Ms. Joyce offers Mandarin classes. They offer summer camp, with themed weeks, and specialized events for the school year and summer, ie. reptile show, petting zoo, pony rides, bubble show, visiting the fire station next door, Doctor/Dentist /JPL career lessons. With Ms. Taylor managing administrative duties, I have seen a such an improvement on clear, concise communication to the parents, sharing information, keeping track of any payments and record keeping, like office stuff. She is so organized and pleasant to work with. The Director, Ms. Rohini, has been instrumental to this school, from hiring a strong team of teachers and maintaining a childcare & learning community we are happy to be part of. We are so sad to leave, but they prepared my kids for their next stage in life while teaching them to become good human beings. I love this school and especially love the teachers. EVERYONE there deserves raises!

This school is apparently getting negative reviews removed because my recent review about my son…read morebeing physically assaulted in this establishment is no longer here. They're also getting a flood of new five star reviews to bury mine, which just speaks to their transparency and honesty (or lack thereof). Before deciding to enroll here, please visit the CDSS website and search for their facility no. 198021594. My son was pinched and bruised and there was a CDSS investigation on the matter (SUBSTANTIATED, see CDSS website). In addition, they're doing a nice facelift of the outside of the facility while their roofs are leaking and they had buckets in my child's classroom to catch the water. Maybe a mold inspection is in their future. CDSS also substantiated that claim. My son came home with all manner of bug bites from this school. They advertise cameras in the facility to make you feel safe, but in reality the Director "doesn't know how to use the cameras" and later flat out refused to provide footage unless legally required. Then the owner promised to provide footage and still hasn't. Please do your research before enrolling your child, there is no shortage of preschools in the area. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME WRITING THIS REVIEW SINCE THE FIRST WAS REMOVED.

She enjoys the multiple playgrounds, toys, and activities like soccer and dance. She talks about what they learned in school like volcano science. The summer program is especially entertaining with guests like face painters, a Glendale police visit, and water play. The teachers, aids, and administrators are caring and engaged. I especially appreciate PAM's flexible weekly enrollment. We enroll our daughter while visiting my parents on extended stays, as we live in Austin, TX for most of the year. It's helpful for our daughter to have a community and be engaged with activities during our long visits to LA.

This year marks our 8th year at MCMS, and it has truly been a wonderful experience for our family…read more My son graduated from 6th grade, and my daughter is currently in her 5th year here as a 4th grader. Over the years, we've had the privilege of working with some incredible teachers--Ms. Armand (retired), Mr. Bell, Ms. Lewis and Ms. Haddadin in particular have been absolutely amazing and have made a lasting impact on our children. The teachers at this school are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in each student's growth. The curriculum is also excellent. When my son moved on to high school, he was very advanced in math and well-prepared academically, which speaks volumes about the quality of education here. Ms. Lee, the administrator, deserves special recognition. She is kind, compassionate, approachable, and deeply dedicated to the students and families she serves. Her leadership reflects genuine care, strong communication, and a thoughtful, steady presence that helps create a positive and supportive school environment. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every child feels seen, valued, and encouraged to thrive. Another thing we deeply appreciate is the strong and close-knit community. There is a real sense of connection among families, staff, and students. I especially love that there is a parent-led prayer gathering every Monday, where parents come together to pray for the school, teachers, and students. It's a meaningful way to stay involved and spiritually connected. Overall, this school has been an amazing blessing to our family. In the 8 years we've been here, we've had no major issues--only positive experiences. If you are looking for a Christian school for your children, I highly recommend this one.

From the owner: Little Einstein's Montessori Prechool is a community of children, parents, teachers and staff…read morededicated to Montessori philosophy. Our students graduate with a lifelong love of learning and a desire to be of service to the world around them. Montessori is an approach to education based upon the principle that schooling should work with the nature of the child instead of against it. Therefore, education should be based upon scientific study of the child and a resulting understanding of the processes of development and learning. Little Einstein's Montessori Prechool also pledges to provide Exemplary Customer Service by becoming an informative and supportive resource for our families and establishing an On-going Collaboration between our parents and staff with our varied and multiple communication avenues like emailed Weekly Updates and bi-annual Conferences. We strive to uncover the potential in all our children! Little Eintein's Montessori Prechool was created and opened in May 2015 by Mrs. Barrenechea, a 10-year teaching the public school system and parent of a young son. She created what she couldn't find for her own son: a friendly and open Montessori preschool where smiles abound, Teachers and Directors are excellent at what they do, and the school is clean and inviting. We want our students to experience such a positive impact on their learning that our parents would never consider having them attend school anywhere else.

Dear Bright Future Montessori Team,…read more As a full-time working mother, I cannot thank the staff at this facility enough. I have been with Bright Future Montessori for five years, starting from the very first day of my firstborn's preschool journey. I now have three children enrolled here--one in the infant room, one in the toddler room, and my oldest graduating this year--and I couldn't be happier. My children are always excited to be dropped off and often want to stay as long as possible. The daily activities and educational programs are wonderful. Most recently, they came home with goodie bags from the egg hunt, and the photos Susie shared of the event truly made my day. I want to specifically thank the owners for creating such a happy childhood environment and providing these precious moments for my family. The kids are already looking forward to the summer program; they love the variety of activities, from pool days to cooking and planting. Thank you to all the teachers for the genuine kindness and care you show to every child.

As a mom who had to go back to work early after having my babies, I was extremely nervous about…read moreputting them into daycare--especially at such a young age. I toured several places before finally choosing Bright Future Montessori, and I'm so grateful that I did. Both of my children started here at just four months old, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions I've made for them. One of the first things that stood out to me was the director, Ms. Suzie. She is always incredibly responsive whenever I have a question or concern, and she is so approachable and easy to talk to. That level of communication gave me so much peace of mind. What has truly kept us here for the past 4 1/2 years, though, is the amazing team of teachers. My oldest has already gone through four different classrooms, and every single teacher has been kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They treat the children as if they were their own, and that means everything to me as a parent. My kids absolutely love going to school. Every day they run in and hug their teachers, and that alone reassures me that they feel safe, happy, and loved. It has made such a difference in easing the guilt that comes with dropping them off. I highly recommend Bright Future Montessori to any parent looking for a nurturing, loving, and supportive environment where their children will truly be cared for.

From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth, safety, and true care -- the kind you'd hope for but rarely find. Ms. Lisa is the kind of teacher every parent dreams of. Nurturing, wise, and endlessly patient -- like a second mother to our daughter and a true support system for us as parents. She made every child feel seen, safe, and special. The way she handled her classroom with grace, joy, and structure made such a lasting impact on our daughter. You could tell she truly *loved* what she did, and her students felt that every single day. She also made learning fun and rewarding by always offering little prizes for positive reinforcement. Whether it was stickers, small toys, or thoughtful surprises, the kids were so motivated and proud. It was never about the reward -- it was the way Ms. Lisa made each child feel noticed and celebrated for their effort and kindness. And Ms. Vicky, her amazing assistant, was just as kind and attentive. Always there with a gentle smile, ready to lend a helping hand or give encouragement when the kids needed it. They filled the days with so much joy -- pizza parties, cooking activities, fun themes, and learning moments disguised as pure fun. Our daughter came home every day glowing with stories and pride in what she learned or created. She was genuinely excited to go to school -- and as a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your child is not only safe but *happy* and thriving. We joke that we wish Ms. Lisa could follow our daughter all the way to college -- that's how deeply we love and trust her. This school, and these teachers, have left a lifelong imprint on our hearts. We are forever grateful. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be loved, encouraged, and truly *known* -- look no further. This is the place.
