FIVE STARS for Sun & Stars Montessori School!…read more I recently met Ms. Tammy Harbison, Executive Director at the Sun and Stars Montessori School. She had a vendor booth at the St. Helena farmer's market and had set up a little display for children to play musical instruments. We spoke about the school's approach to exposing children to learning and exploring. Sun & Stars is a non-profit, non-denominational, privately owned and operated school. The curriculum is based on the teaching's of Maria Montessori and is guided by student interest. Learning is self-directed through choice, independence, and hands-on experiences. While children found and played with the 10+ musical instruments in her booth, she encouraged them to explore and experiment with different mediums and sounds. NICE! She even gave pointers on how to facilitate exploration of music at home - sticks on ice cube containers, drums out of containers, etc. Tammy gave many of the children attending the farmer's market a FREE ribbon stick (a 1.5' stick with three multi-colored ribbons) and encouraged them to just "Have Fun!". Truly, she is a professional who is more interested in properly facilitating childrens' learning processes, than to make a buck (which also would be nice). What a great business! I'm impressed with the executives of this school!

I have been so happy with this preschool. The director, Teena, is extremely knowledgeable about…read morechildhood development, she offers positive discipline seminars, and takes time to assess each child's development--physical, academic, and emotional--at the beginning and end of each school year so parents are on the same page and can really work towards the same goals as the teachers. The other teachers, Marge and Sheryl, are kind and loving. My 3-yr-old son has blossomed there, and he only goes two mornings a week. The kids play, do lots of art and crafts, sing, have story time, are taught Christian virtues, and practice writing and phonics. They learn to follow directions, switch gears, and treat people with respect. They practice tracing letters and numbers. And most important, the kids have FUN. I now live in Napa and continue to drive 40 mins each way because I don't want to pull him out mid-year. I may continue to drive next year if I don't find another school that meets the Highlands standard. The new facilities are so nice--clean and spacious. And the teacher-student ratio is unbeatable. There are often only 8-10 students there with 2-3 teachers! I imagine enrollment will go up in 2011 with the shiny new, high-visibility location, but Teena is committed to maintaining an excellent ratio. I can't say enough--I am thrilled.

I am constantly bragging to everyone about how much we love her school and how much her teachers love her. (I am learning that this isn't everyone's experience and realizing just how lucky we are.) My daughter, at 3 years old, was able to write the entire alphabet, sound it out, and write all of her numbers within three months of going to Mila's - something we hadn't reviewed at home! Their curriculum is fantastic, and their approach to managing the kids is kind and respectful, while also being structured. She has never been able to nap without snuggling me, nursing, or in the car: she naps every day at school and now knows how to put herself down for a nap. They are really helpful with accidents and potty training so don't be afraid! They play in this really cool play structure in the back, they have fun field trips to the PD and FD. They do performances! We were invited to a Christmas celebration potluck where the kids performed English and Spanish songs and it was so sweet! They make some really cute art every day. They celebrate each other's birthdays. It is truly the sweetest little school. I've NEVER had a problem with my little girl not wanting to go to school because she has so much fun every day. The communication is incredible. They have a really great app where you can message the teachers throughout the day, they share photos, and check the kids in and out. They have a good system and are really organized. They speak Spanish to the kids, which is great. (I wish they only spoke in Spanish to help the kids become bilingual!) The teacher Liliana is incredible and my daughter LOVES her. We all do. Mila is also SO kind! We love all of the helpers as well! If you're looking around and not sure where to go- rest assured that your little one will have a great experience here. I want to skip TK this year so that she can continue to go to Mila's - that's how good it is!
