Amazing institute for early childhood development. My son has been going to this location for…read morealmost 6months now, and I can say that I can see the great benefits he is having in a Montessori environment learning and experiencing concepts hands on. He is happy - and as parents that's honestly all that matters. All the teacher and staff are compassionate and loving. My son seems know every one of them - which indicates they all have taken the effort to know my son and provide some form of care to him on a daily basis. The first things that made me drawn to this facility was the huge play area. Outdoor time is very much needed and a part of the curriculum and we appreciate that a lot. My experience had been great so far and I recommend this place.

My elder daughter just graduated from LAPMS and my younger one is still continuing…read more I love how much my elder one has learnt during her tenure here and that is really helping her in public school. She is way ahead in terms of conceptual understanding especially in mathematics. My younger one is also progressing nicely. She is really shy and introvert but the teachers make her feel comfortable and loved and have patiently helped her make close friends. Overall I am very much pleased with the school, their teachers, their curriculum and their approach to learning. Whenever I go for parent teacher conferences, I always find the teachers well prepared with their observations and recommendations. For older kids, like my elder one, the teachers take time correcting the home work and provide continuous feedback to the parents. They also celebrate various occasions like father's day, mother's day and others from time to time which both my daughters really enjoy. Great job, LAPMS!

So glad we found this hidden gem! My 2-year-old boy hadn't been to any daycare before MSJCC, so I…read morewas a bit worried about the transition at the beginning. But thanks to Teacher Mei, he adjusted surprisingly fast - within just a week! Now, after a month, he's eating by himself more, putting on his own shoes, and even starting to insist on doing everything "myself, myself!" Teacher Mei is amazing - super professional, observant, and really knows how to guide kids in just the right way. You can tell she genuinely cares about each child's growth, not just "watching" them but actually teaching them real life skills. Plus, she's bilingual in English and Mandarin, which is such a bonus. I feel so lucky to have found MSJCC. Highly recommend it to any parents looking for a place where your kid will not only be safe and happy, but also learn independence little by little.

We are truly grateful for the positive impact Mission San Jose Children Center--especially Ms…read more Mei--has had on our family. She is a caring, patient, and professional teacher who truly understands children and knows how to guide them with both love and structure. Ms. Mei pays close attention to each child's needs. Whether it's a learning challenge or an emotional moment, she always takes the initiative to help and communicate with parents. Whenever I've had parenting questions, she patiently offers thoughtful, professional advice. Her support means so much to us. One of the biggest advantages of this center is the bilingual environment. Our child has developed strong skills in both Mandarin and English naturally, which we believe will benefit them greatly in the long run. We've seen some negative reviews, but honestly, some of them seem more like emotional venting than a reflection of the real situation.From our own experience, Ms. Mei and the staff here are truly dedicated and responsible. We highly recommend this center to other families

Both of my children--a 6-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl--spent two wonderful years at MSF. Our…read morejourney began when my son joined Ms. Angeline's class at 3.5 years old, after a disappointing experience at a chain private school. From the moment he started at MSF, we saw a remarkable difference. He was genuinely happy each day and looked forward to his "working time" at school. Ms. Angeline has a deep respect for each child as an individual. She nurtured our son's growth both academically and personally, helping him gain confidence in expressing his needs and tailoring projects to match his interests and developmental needs. The environment she created in the Evergreen B class was warm, engaging, and thoughtfully structured. Because of the incredible experience our son had, we decided to enroll our daughter at MSF as well. She joined Ms. June's class and also had a wonderful time. Coming from a full Chinese-speaking environment, the transition to an English-speaking classroom could have been challenging--but Ms. June, being bilingual, provided the perfect support. Our daughter was very shy at first, but Ms. June thoughtfully paired her with older, bilingual classmates and helped her adjust with care and patience. In less than half a year, school became her favorite place to be. We especially appreciated the school's community spirit and special events, such as International Week and Sharing Night, which brought families together and created lasting memories.

My son attended Montessori School of Fremont for two years before kindergarten, and based on our…read moreexperience, I would not recommend it to other families. My main concern was with his teacher. Over two years, I didn't see meaningful effort to teach or support my son. Instead, the feedback I received was that "your child is not suited for Montessori" -- which felt less like a thoughtful assessment and more like a way to avoid working with him. A Montessori environment is supposed to meet a child where they are; that wasn't our experience. I also found the administrative side of the school to be inflexible in a way that didn't feel parent-friendly. On one occasion in two years, I was ~1 minute late at pickup due to traffic and was charged a late fee. A one-time delay being treated the same as a chronic issue tells you something about the culture. Other parents may have had a different experience, and I'm sure some children thrive here. Ours did not, and I wanted to share an honest account for parents who are weighing this school.

We're so grateful to have found Mount Valley Montessori for Vivaan's afterschool care. It's been a…read moretruly positive experience for him. A big thank you to Ms. Rani, Ms. Laxmi, and Ms. Vani for their warmth, care, and dedication. We've seen a noticeable improvement in Vivaan's reading and writing skills, and we really appreciate the personal attention they give each child. It meant a lot to us that they ensured Vivaan finished his meals and encouraged him to participate positively in class. It's a nurturing and supportive environment, and we're very thankful for all that they do.

We've had such an incredible experience with this preschool in Fremont. The teachers and staff are…read moretruly present, attentive, and genuinely care about the children. Both of my kids (ages 3 and 4) attend, and they absolutely love it. Ms. Rani has been amazing from the very first site visit all the way through the enrollment process--she made everything feel easy and welcoming. You can really tell how much she cares about creating a positive environment for both the kids and parents. This has been a complete 180 from our previous preschool experience, and I'm so grateful we made the switch. Choosing this school has been one of the best decisions we've made for our children. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive preschool.

The teachers are ALL so kind and gentle and patient. As we are now moving her to a bilingual school, we highly recommend MCH, also, now they may have a spot in their toddler program now that we are leaving (HA waitlist joke).

My daughter currently attends MCH and I have only good things to say about the school…read more Her language skills and organization skills are improved only because of MCH staff and her friends. Ms.Sharon(head of MCH) keeps the campus clean and orderly. Her feedback helped my child to get to a better state. All the staff are lovely - Ms.Karla who takes care of toddler program is very knowledgeable and caring about the kids. Ms.Mellissa has lot of patience and gives the details of the child day in details. Looking at these staff I always felt my child is in good hands and highly recommend to any one looking for AMI style and clean place for your child to thrive. The only thing that MCH can improve is to have a cushioned play area in the backyard as the mulch and uneven surface always scares me. Besides that, MCH we love it.

We've had two daughters at Empire Montessori at different stages, and both experiences have been…read morewonderful. Our older daughter was only there for about two months, but in that short time she genuinely thrived. When graduation came around, the staff made sure she was fully included in the ceremony, which says a lot about the culture of a school. Our younger daughter spent a full year in the 2s class, and while it's always hard to transition to school at that age, she truly enjoyed her time there. Her Mandarin improved drastically, and so much of that credit goes to Ms. Ying, Ms. Lisa, and Ms. Kari, who are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about each child. As a busy family, we also appreciated that Empire provides meals and plans so many fun activities throughout the year, including a petting zoo, bounce house, water play, holiday celebrations, and more. Ms. July, the director, is consistently responsive and communicative, and any time we had a question or concern, she was quick to get back to us. We're so grateful for the community Empire built around our girls. Highly recommend!

Look no further if you're on the search for a Montessori preschool. My husband commutes to Fremont,…read moreso we thought it was perfect for our son to attend here. As for the campus, the layout is great. The gated fence around the school is secure with a keypad before the building's main door. Classrooms are well designed to have areas for practical life learning, math, language, etc. The structure of their day is perfect. Plenty of balance between Montessori work sessions, outside play, rest time and circle times. Meals and snacks are balanced with nutrition in mind (especially for our picky kiddo, who suddenly liked corn after school one day). We love when our son brings home his artwork and worksheets. Field trips take place on campus, which is a relief in terms of transportation and safety. One time, they brought the petting zoo there! When there are holiday events, the parents and family are welcome to see their performance for Thanksgiving and Christmas. During summer, they offer a fun variety of themes each week as well as some special days (like a Mad Science Show or Cooking week). Our 4-year-old has improved so much. He can be high energy, but the teachers have a lot of patience and understanding. The biggest factor for us was the Mandarin-immersive program. We immediately signed up for the waitlist. It was well worth it. They incorporate 2 circle times-- one in English and another in Mandarin. They learn songs, numbers, basically all of the basics and our son loves saying everything he's learned when he's back home. For their Chinese New Year celebration, they have an amazing dragon dance and have the children sing in Mandarin. The staff goes above and beyond when it comes to the children's education, safety, wellbeing and happiness at this school. Ms July, the school director, was warm and welcoming, remembering every child's name who ran up to us during our tour. Ms Lori, Ms Lydia and Ms Mia have been guiding our son with incredible care and attention. Our son couldn't pick a favorite, so he named each one. We can't thank everyone enough for their hard work and dedication.

At first I was so…read morenervous she would be crying all day and want to come home, instead she just left my arms and barely said bye! She loves every single staff member and you can tell all the stuff care about every single kid! Her vocabulary, writing, coloring, relationship building and general mannerisms when it comes to listening and following rules has drastically improved and she's only 3. The mornings my daughter doesn't want me to leave, which is rare, other staff come in to help and she quickly jumps into their arms. They're always able to soothe her. They potty trained her & feed her 3-5 times a day which we couldn't accomplish at home and honestly still can't when it comes to meal times. Whatever they're doing works!!!
