As our son nears the end of his first year at Blackhawk Montessori, we couldn't be happier with our…read moreexperience. We have watched him grow tremendously not just in his speech and confidence, but in how gentle and empathetic he has become with his peers. Ms. Pari and Ms. Anusha are incredibly nurturing educators, and the administrative team, Ms. Naveeda and Ms. Naureen, is consistently responsible, organized, and communicative. We deeply value the school's commitment to core Montessori principles, the intimate class sizes, and their dedication to a holistic, screen-free, and no-sugar environment. Beyond the daily classroom experience, the thoughtful family events they organize have created a great sense of community. We are so grateful for the genuine care, love, and support our son receives here.

We are in our last year and can't say enough good things about this transformative place. Every…read moreteacher, every member of the staff, on all classes, is incredibly committed to the kids, kind, and competent. My daughter bloomed here. She is starting kindergarten now because we couldn't in good conscience move her to public school with kids who are starting to sound letter when she is reading chapter books. We didn't do anything at home more than take her to this school. And leaving TK our daughter is completely autonomous, has high self esteem, knows how to take turns, knows way more about geography and other cultures than most Americans, knows how to read probably at second grade level, and was starting with place value and multiplication understanding. Compared to other kids her age and even my own son who didn't attend this school, the difference is huge. Her whole class is at another level, so you know is the school and the incredible leadership of Ms Naveeda and Ms Noreen, who are not just management. They have been part of my child's education constantly, joining all may parent teacher conferences. My child loves math, science, dance, and reading because of them. Don't fall for bigger establishments or other amenities. Look for great educators which is what you get here.

Our son has been a part of this montessori for over 2.5 years now and I cannot be more thankful to…read morethe director and all the teachers here. They genuinely helped him grow and learn in all his different phases through these two years. Huge shout out to Ms.Neeraja for always putting the kids first and looking out for their overall well being. From all the events they do for kids, to working with parents based on each child's needs and ensuring social emotional learning, the teachers here put in so much effort in taking care of their students that I highly recommend this center for any parents looking for early child care. Special mention to Ms.Sheila who teaches kids with immense patience and always has their back. Ms.Jinu, Ms.Sara, Ms.Kanika, Ms.Chamu and Ms.Richa have all been very attentive and very hands on in our child's learning journey. We are so glad we found this place and very happy with how our child has grown here. Thank you to all the teachers here for creating a safe and caring space for little ones.

We've had a wonderful experience with Learn And Play Montessori over the past almost two years…read more Both of my girls attend here, and we are very happy with the care, learning environment, and support from the staff. The teachers and staff are very friendly, caring, and attentive. Whenever we had any concerns or questions, they addressed them promptly and professionally. My kids are especially very close to Ms. Richa, and it's heartwarming to see the bond and comfort they have with her. A special mention to Ms. Neeraja for maintaining the school so well and for always being approachable and supportive. She truly cares about the children and parents, and makes sure concerns are addressed thoughtfully and promptly. Another thing we truly appreciate is the flexibility and understanding with parents' timings and schedules. It really helps working families. Overall, we highly recommend this school to parents looking for a safe, caring, and supportive Montessori environment for their children.

Finding a daycare you trust with your kids feels a little like handing over your heart every…read moremorning--and somehow, A New World of Montessori made that feel easy. One of the biggest things that drew us in was something surprisingly hard to find--they welcomed both of our kids. When our daughter was just 16 months old and our son was 3.5, we were able to send them together, which was incredibly important to us. Many places don't accept younger children, so this alone meant the world--but it quickly became clear it was just the beginning of what makes this place special. The environment is genuinely warm and loving. Every child is seen, heard, and cared for in a way that feels personal. As a parent, you can tell this isn't just supervision--it's connection. Our kids come home happy, talking about their day, their friends, and what they learned. Another thing we really appreciate is how the classrooms are structured by age group. Each child gets to socialize and learn alongside peers at a similar stage, which has been great for their development. At the same time, during midday playtime, our two kids still get the chance to see and play with each other for a bit--which is something they both love. There's also an amazing variety of activities. From soccer to dance to music, they bring in specialized teachers who clearly love what they do, which adds so much depth and excitement to the kids' experience. It's not just playtime--it's enrichment in the best way. On a practical level, they make life easier for parents too. Providing snacks and meals takes a huge daily burden off our plate, and we've really appreciated the structure they teach the kids--everything from nap time routines to mealtime habits and even cleaning up after themselves. Those little lessons go a long way at home. One thing that truly stands out is the communication. Miss Mona is fantastic at keeping parents informed and connected--she consistently makes sure we're up to date on our children's progress and development. That level of transparency and care gives us so much confidence and peace of mind. And on a lighter note--they are amazing at making dads look good. I'll admit, I'm terrible at tying my daughter's hair, and there were definitely mornings where I sent her in with a very questionable, super loose ponytail. Somehow, by pickup time, it would be transformed into a perfectly done style--even a beautiful braid--making it look like I had everything under control. (For the record, mommy got the illusion... but none of that hair magic was done by dad!) We also love how they keep parents involved in the day-to-day moments. We regularly receive photos and videos throughout the week, and it means so much to get those glimpses into our kids' days--the smiles, the activities, and the little moments we'd otherwise miss. Beyond the care itself, they're incredibly practical for working families. Their pricing is very competitive, and they're open when many other schools are closed for holidays, which really helps minimize the amount of sick or vacation time we have to take off work. Their summer programs are another highlight--plenty of outdoor time, plus fun activities like water tables and slip-and-slides that the kids absolutely love. And when it comes to big milestones like potty training, they work closely with families to keep things consistent between home and school, which makes a huge difference. At the end of the day, there's no better feeling than knowing your kids are safe, happy, and truly cared for. We're incredibly grateful for the community they've created and the role they've played in our children's early years.

They put together really fun and thoughtful activities and events for the holidays for the kids and parents.

The facility is always clean and they have a great outdoor space for the kids to play. My daughter adored all the teachers she had and we will miss them all. We are only leaving to go to a school closer to home. Thank you to the whole new world team!

After reading reviews and talking with various people, Garden seemed to be a good fit for our family. Garden Montessori fosters independence while providing a warm and supportive environment where children thrive. The teachers encourage children to create and discover new things. I appreciate that my daughter has the autonomy to choose what she wants to work on or learn, on a daily basis, while still being prepared for the next steps in her education. My daughter loves learning and practicing new skills, and I feel that the teachers at Garden really help fuel that passion. In addition to academic skills and independence, Garden nurtures children to be confident, kind, and caring. Garden is a great place that my daughter looks forward to going to everyday, and I agree with the other parents when they call it a gem! I am so glad to be part of the Garden Montessori community.

They made many wonderful friends and had amazing teachers. The teachers were communicative and helpful. At NurtureKids, teachers encourage students to engage in fun activities throughout the day, including dancing and playing outdoors. They also provide education in various subjects.

I used to take my child to NurtureKids from Livermore. As a parent, I appreciate the value NurtureKids adds to our community.
