The cozy front and back yards are filled with thoughtfully designed sensory and tactile play areas that help children regulate their nervous systems while encouraging open-ended play, creativity, and imagination. Every little detail -- from the fragrant foam and sprigs of fresh rosemary in the mud kitchen to the handmade cinnamon-scented playdough -- speaks of genuine love and care for children. There's a sandbox, a fairy garden, real tools that little builders will love, and even a table tucked into the shade of a tree for anyone who wants to sit down and have a snack. Every other week, a musician comes to visit, hands out musical instruments to the children, and sings different songs with them. To say we loved this place would be an understatement. Three hours flew by in what felt like a single moment. Absolutely recommend!

The staff is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to every child's growth and happiness. We always felt confident and grateful knowing our kids were in such good hands.

MCS is an amazing school with phenomenal teachers and staff!…read more Our daughter spent her very first year of school / preschool here before transitioning to CMP Carmichael, right next door. On our daughters very first day of school, her teachers, Ms. Serena and Ms. Malih were so caring and thoughtful with her. She was nervous to be there and didn't want us to leave in the morning. Ms. Serena took her by the hand and spoke gently with her, and made her feel more comfortable. We knew we were leaving our daughter in good hands that morning, and the positive experiences continued on until our last day of school. The office staff is very friendly, and always makes me feel as if I'm part of the MCS family when I talk to them on the phone, or see them in person in the office. Whenever I stop by the office with my daughter, Ms. Galina goes out of her way to say hi to her and often gives her a warm hug and sometimes a sticker =) I would highly recommend Montessori Childrens School to my anyone I know that I is looking for a wonderful, caring place for the children to go to school / daycare, or anyone that plans to continue with the Montessori teaching philosophy.

There were so many things I was afraid of when I started to look for a daycare, like cleanliness, my son not being taken care of well enough, daycare staff being over worked and overwhelmed. You hear a lot of horror stories that scare any parents but man does CJCC really exceed all my expectations. They send presious pictures and updates when asked and I truly appreciate the pics and updates . Ms. Pinar has been so amazing to my sweet boy! She truly loves and cares so much for him & works so well with trying to get him fed. (He was exclusively breastfed most his life) if you know, you know! She has been compassionate, kind, understanding and willing to assist to meet his preferences and needs. When I first toured I was SO impressed with their attention to cleanliness & infection control. From the moment I stepped in the door Ms. Pinar & Mr. Avni welcomed me with such warm energy, happy and inviting. They made me put on booties over my shoes and wash my hands. Which was a first! My son was 5 months when he started but I was so happy and impressed to see all the learning tools and hear about how they help the children with real life skills. I was so impressed I came back a second time with my son's father. We are so excited and happy to be apart of the cookie jar child care family!!

Pinar and Avni show such love and care for all their kids, and I can see that love reciprocated in my little one. She is always so excited to see them. I felt the motherly warmth from Pinar the day we met. She has made me feel safe (and less guilty) dropping off my child with her everyday. Pinar and Avni teach the preschool curriculum along with mannerism and social skills. Over the years I have noticed my daughter learn so much and I am very grateful. Their daycare has many play activities as well. A lot of which include Montessori type play. The kids get a lot of free playtime which my daughter loves. She loves to play with all the other kids there. The kids are also taught emotions and feelings, which I noticed in my daughter as well. She learned how to better express herself. They are also taught right from wrong and basic morals and values. The kids also learn yoga! Pinar and Avni have taken such amazing care of the most precious thing in the world to me. I will forever be grateful.

I would think twice about this place…read more I had my two year old son on the list here and was told I had a spot in their two year old classroom. My son has autism though, and so they said I needed an aide or they would not allow him to attend. So I went through hell to get the aide set up. It took weeks and hours and hours on the phone and filling out paperwork. And then I went to tour the two year old class with my son. I told them I wanted him to be with kiddos his own age to have the opportunities to learn the skills other two year olds were learning. And everything was fine, but when I was leaving after the tour they said they had decided it was a good idea to start my son in the younger classroom, which they said was 18-36 months. Even though he had a spot in the two year old class? But then when I asked for the pricing schedule for that class, it was listed as 12-24 months. My son is two and a half. So I called back and said why are you trying to put my two year old son in a class that's not for his age when you told me there is a spot in the two year old class? And they insisted there were two year olds in the class. But when I pushed to find out exactly how many, I found out they were actually moving all of the two year olds up to the two year old class right when my son would start, so he would not have any kids the same age in that class. And they had given my spot in the two year old class away to one of those kids. So now I no longer had the spot that existed for him anymore. As if life wasn't hard enough being a parent of an autistic child. It's hard as hell. And then you have to deal with people trying to deny your kid the same opportunities as other kids. My son is a sweet, gentle little two year old boy, no behavioral issues, loves being around other kids, and he was going to have an aide for the time he was there at their insistence. And he needs the opportunity to learn the same skills other kids learn in daycare. If you have an autistic child or know anyone who has an autistic child, think carefully about which businesses you want to support and which you don't.
