What do I remember about my preschool experience…read more.. Really nice teachers. One went on to become my favorite babysitter! A gigantic stone Turtle. I liked it way better on the shell than under its belly. Sitting on the floor and singing along to an acoustic rendition of "The Ants Go Marching One, By One." In retrospect, I'm pretty sure that was a 'Hippie Circle.' The first time I saw a girl naked. Incidentally, this girl went on to become Miss Golden Globe. Water-colors. This was much less important in my formative years than, say, the fact that Alcoholics Anonymous met right next door. 80% recess, 20% classroom. That's more like it.

They nurtured my kids and loved on them when I needed some time away to work and think. They also helped me become a better parent, reassuring me that my kid's behavior was age appropriate, the drama would pass, and encouraging me to enjoy the process. I'm so grateful that Malibu Presbyterian Nursery School is a welcoming place for both parents and kids! My kids still quote their many mottos including "there is always room for 1 more friend". We learned good life lessons for every age.

My son graduated from Malibu Presbyterian Nursery School around 24 years ago now. When I first…read moreenrolled him, my wife/his mother had recently passed away, and I was struggling to raise him at all, much less the right way. He was met with open, loving arms every day; and it wasn't long until the school became an integral part of his parenting. He was loved, cared for, taught how to interact with other kids, played hard; and the curriculum developed him while at the same time being fun. The stories he had to tell each day! At the same time, I was kept up to speed on his progress, on any issues (that I could help reinforce at home), his strengths (ditto), and I was introduced and made part of the Malibu Pres network of teachers and parents who I know to this day. All of which helped me to meet my parenting challenges. I am fully convinced that the life foundation he received there made the difference between being a scholastic failure and the great educational success he became. I am forever grateful to Malibu Presbyterian Nursery School.

Our experience with Mountain View Montessori has been nothing short of incredible. From the very…read morebeginning, we felt a sense of warmth, intention, and genuine care that truly sets this school apart. The environment they've created is calm, nurturing, and thoughtfully designed to support each child's independence and curiosity. It has been such a joy to watch our daughter grow in confidence, develop a love for learning, and feel so safe and at home in her classroom. The Montessori approach is beautifully honored, children are respected, guided, and encouraged in a way that feels both empowering and deeply supportive. We especially want to give a heartfelt shoutout to all of the amazing staff, and to Ms. Rola, Ms. Nina, and most especially her teacher, Ms. Avery. They are truly incredible, genuine people with such a clear passion for children and learning. The care, patience, and intention they bring every single day does not go unnoticed. It means the world to us as parents to know our daughter is surrounded by such kind, attentive, and inspiring educators. We are beyond grateful to be part of the Mountain View Montessori community. It is a truly special place filled with heart, and one we will always look back on with so much appreciation and love.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this preschool. My youngest, who is 3, had been at…read moreanother school, and I had a gut feeling he was miserable. After finally making the tough decision to pull him out, I was overwhelmed with guilt and took my time choosing another school. The moment I walked into this one, my momma heart just knew it was the right place. The director and staff are all just incredible and show so much love I wasn't originally a "Montessori mom"--not for any particular reason, I just didn't think it was for us. What a mistake! I've never been happier with a decision. The teachers and staff are warm, kind, and so incredibly loving. Dropping my son off feels like leaving him with family. The best part? No more tears at drop-off--he actually looks forward to going to school. Seeing him happy, thriving, and excited to learn has been the biggest blessing. I am beyond grateful for this school and the amazing people who make it feel like home. If you're searching for a place where your child will be truly cared for, this is it. They are simply the best!

This preschool is a dream come true for our family. I often tell people that it's "biodynamic soil…read morefor our daughters soul", enriching her play and expanding her growth and development at light speed. She is often singing the lullabies she learns, reciting the stories, and always so very excited to return for more. We live in Las Flores Canyon near the campus and we have watched in amazement and awe as this magical epicenter of love and support has enlivened our local community and been a connecting link in bringing together families with like minded awareness. The teachers and directors are some of the most lovely and heart centered people on the planet. They see our daughter for who she is, and have been an enormous help in guiding her spirit into the most beautiful expression of her instincts and interests. I am very particular about clean food and it's such a relief knowing that they only serve organic food and snacks! They take care to be very respectful of dietary restrictions and the special needs of each unique child- it's such a huge blessing and absolute requirement for me. The teachers have each shared such sacred wisdom with me about each developmental stage, and I continue to learn so much from them. Anytime I have questions they always take the time to help guide me toward more understanding and grace with my child. It really means the world to me to have this beautiful support in this conscious community. One of our deepest desires and highlights of parenthood is providing the absolute best for our children to enable them to flourish and grow in the most harmonious and conscious way possible. During the first parent meeting this year we all sat in a circle and expressed how incredibly grateful we each are that this sacred space still exists in this world, and we all wished that we would have had the opportunity to attend such a delightful school when we were young. It's truly and honor and great privilege to have found this treasure nestled under the ancient oaks and so close to home in so many ways.

From the moment we toured, the space felt warm and welcoming, the children were clearly connected to their teachers, and the director immediately made us feel at ease. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely interested in each child. Miss Kay is especially wonderful. My son talks about her constantly, including on weekends, which feels like the highest compliment a toddler can give. He also speaks positively about the other teachers he interacts with, which says a lot. I have seen them handle end-of-day toddler meltdowns with calm and grace, which honestly feels like a superpower. Since starting, we have seen so much growth in our son's independence and emotional regulation. He loves doing things himself and often repeats phrases like "we keep our hands to ourselves" and "sharing is caring," sometimes while correcting me. The classroom environment feels calm but still stimulating, and the small class sizes make it clear that each child is truly known. We also love that they offer exposure to different languages along with extracurriculars like dance and sports. There is truly no better feeling than dropping your child off and having them be so excited to be there that they do not even notice you leaving. Knowing your child feels safe and happy enough to run into the classroom means you can walk out, go to Starbucks, and drink your coffee while it is still warm, in peace and quiet. That alone is priceless. I highly recommend this school to parents looking for a nurturing, structured Montessori environment that supports independence, kindness, and parents' sanity.

The Director Ms. Sumali is absolutely phenomenal and has created an environment where the children can learn and thrive. The activities are thoughtful and creative and my daughter loves going to school. The teachers in all of the classrooms are extremely child-centered and they all seem to embrace individuality. There is a professionalism in this school that I have not experienced elsewhere. I feel incredibly safe there and the facility itself is beautiful. The classrooms are well-taken care of and it is always clean. There is a strong community feel and the parent base is lovely.

My son has made wonderful friendships with children who have grown right alongside him, and it has been amazing to watch. The teachers put so much heart, dedication, and genuine care into what they do every day, and it shows. A special thank you to Miss Jonnay! She has been an incredible teacher to my son, and I am so grateful for the care and attention she gives him. She keeps me updated, celebrates his successes, and truly understands him. Over the last couple of months, I've seen such a big change in him, he's grown in confidence, understanding, and independence. It means so much to have someone who spends her days with him, notices these milestones, and genuinely cares about his development. The support she provides feels like having a second mother in his corner. Miss Tressa has created such a special place for children to learn, explore, and experience their first years of education. This school is truly a hidden gem, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found it and to be part of this community. If you're considering this school, I encourage you to visit and meet the staff. You'll quickly see how passionate, caring, and dedicated they are. We couldn't be more grateful for the love and support our family has received here.

The experience started off great. Sure, it wasn't perfect. What daycare is? But the experience…read moredeteriorated so much so quickly. The issues started getting bigger and bigger and the owner, Tressa, took zero accountability. Instead, she will completely gaslight you and say you're the problem. One of our first big issues was when my daughter was in the infant center and came home with bleach stained pants. The teacher admitted that they sprayed down her high chair with bleach, forgot to wipe it, and placed my daughter in BLEACH!! The second big issue was when they completely forgot to feed my daughter her formula all day. I picked up my youngest and she was screaming bloody murder in the car from hunger. When I looked at her daily log on brightwheel, I noticed there wasnt anything logged for feeding. I asked them thinking they just forgot to log the bottle feeds. Nope!!! They straight up did not give my daughter a bottle all day. The next big safety issue was when the parents started to realize the chickens kept getting eaten by coyotes jumping into the yard. And then we finally saw the coyote right up the fence of the school yard and took a photo. The owner Tressa decided the best solution was to put some cayenne pepper around the perimeter. SMH! It took months of pestering her to increase the fence height - and she only increased it on one small section of the fence. The rest of the yard is still low. Profits over the wellbeing of the children is her only concern.. Moving on to the mold issue. My daughter was in the 3 year old class which is one of the tiniesttttt classrooms I've ever seen. When the classroom teachers rotated, the new teacher decided to clean up her classroom (side note about cleanliness discussed below). She found the kids play couch to be filled with mold on the bottom and left it outside. The owner tressa pretended to act dumb and said it might have been black paint. Tressa, I am sure you are reading this. We all know what mold looks like. How did black paint only end up on the bottom of that couch? Stop treating the parents like they're complete idiots... Cleanliness side note: My kids would come home so filthy (no it wasnt just filth from the dirt yard. It was dried boogers all over their face, crusted food on their faces, dirty hands) that I had to throw them in the bath every single day after school. My kids were alwayssss sick at this school because of the lack of cleanliness. Finally, the last actual straw.... They left my child in her diaper ALL DAY LONG. She came home in the saggiest fullest diaper I have ever seen. She only wears coterie diapers at home and I would give the school costco diapers because they often would give out diapers to other kids and I didnt want the expensive coterie diapers to go to waste. She went to school in a coterie diaper and came back in a coterie diaper!!! I immediately texted Tressa and of course the first thing out of her mouth was a lie. She said other kids in the class have coterie diapers and they changed my daughter and must have grabbed a coterie diaper from another kid. Caught her red handed!!! Coterie stamps a unique code on every single diaper that matches the code within the rest of that particular pack of diapers for quality control. The code in the diaper my daughter came home with matched the open pack of diapers at home. When I sent Tressa the photos, she apologized and the excuses poured in. Stay far away from the teacher named Lisa. She is funny and sweet but she is incredibly lazy. She hates washing the kids hands, taking them to potty, helping them wipe etc. she is also very filthy and keeps her class in filth. Every single parent I know who has left, has left because of Lisa. I spent the past year feeling incredibly guilty that I allowed my children to stay in this environment for so long. Tressa made us feel like we are the problem. She is a master manipulator. The truth is, she tries to wear ALL the hats to save costs. She is a teacher, director, owner, substitute.. and the list goes on. How can anyone do a good job with so many various roles? I've spoken to so many of the parents who left this place and even TEACHERS who have left this place and all are aligned on the following: how the heck is this place not shut down yet?! Do yourselves and your kids a favor and stay far away from this place. P.S. yes I finallly reported them to the state agency when Tressa decided to keep my daughter in the same diaper all day and straight up lied to me. I am assuming nothing changed because I read the other bad review on here. To the woman who left that review, thank you. You finally gave me the courage to leave an honest review for this place. It was long overdue but well deserved.
