My son and daughter (3 and 2) have been attending Simi Valley Montessori since they were babies and…read morewe love it. The teachers are truly amazing, always patient and kind. These women are amazing! The kids have a great time and learn so much. We have been with them throughout Covid which was a hard time for all, but they were very understanding, cautious and communicative throughout the process. I have always gotten a family vibe from the school and the director and have been very honest (I have overpaid before and they caught and deducted from next month and even paid forward from Covid). To me that shows a lot of integrity, not to mention the extra stuff they offer like date nights, holiday shows, etc. The teachers always communicate if there has been any illnesses and also if my kid or they are concerned about something. When we were looking for childcare, my sister, who works in the school/childcare industry, really liked the way everything was set up and their policies and I am happy with our decision. I remember the first day we walked in everything was so calm and neat. Everything is always neat and clean as well.

Everything about LSM in Simi is just amazing. We started in February of 2020 and our daughter is…read morenow graduating. We welcomed our second daughter who we signed up for the waitlist ASAP so she could attend once she was 18 months old in 2022. Our experience has been more than I could've ever dreamed. It truly feels like an extended family. We loved Miss Lorraine and Miss Michelle when they were directors and we love Miss Jacqueline who is the current director. So considerate, loving, and happy. Our kids were so blessed to be with Ms Elba (toddler class), Ms Angela and Ms Ozma (2's), Ms Debra (no longer there), Ms Lorraine, and Miss Bri (3's), Ms Rosadah (pre-k, but no longer there) and Ms Frances (kinder). I also need to mention Ms Evelyn because she's loved our girls even though she never directly taught them. I could not speak highly enough of these teachers. They are more than teachers. The guidance and love they showed our kids - It's something I will remember for the rest of my life. Honestly I can't even formulate words to express my admiration for them and gratitude. Truly phenomenal people who are a gift to this world. I am not typically an emotional person but I have been an emotional wreck the past month or so leading up to our girls' graduations. Leaving LSM and these teachers was so incredibly hard and something I am still trying to come to terms with. Our girls love them tremendously and I have the hardest time feeling like our next "big kid school" will even match this experience. I wish they went through elementary school - We wouldn't even think twice of running back!

The facilities (beautiful shaded playground, fun classrooms and swimming pool!), welcoming and caring staff and teachers, and enrichment programs (Spanish, physical education, music) were all such a blessing. My daughter started when she was 3.5 with Mrs. Silva and Ms. Riley. My daughter typically has a hard time with new environments but got comfortable with the school right away - she only cried at her first drop off and never again. She ended the year with so many friends and great relationship with her teachers - especially Ms. Riley. She also learned all her letters and numbers. This year, she has been in the pre-K program with Ms. Adele and Mrs. Zangri. It has been a great year so far with learning math, science and sparkle words! My son started in the infant room a year ago with Ms. Alexa and Mrs. Taiko. In the fall, he moved to the toddler room with Mrs. Claudia, Mrs. Ana and Ms. Krysten. All the teachers are so loving and I can tell how my son has bonded with them. I especially loved all the work the teachers put into the open house and other family activities like the Halloween parade, grandparents day, and holiday performance. They create a great sense of community by involving the parents in so much of what goes on at the school. I would highly highly recommend this daycare/pre-school to any family that is close enough. We commuted from Chatsworth and it was totally worth it!

They are what makes this school so special. There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe how much I admire these 2 individuals, and how blessed any parent would be to have them teaching their children. I'm knocking off one star for my review after a bizarre incident I experienced with another teacher (who fortunately is not teaching in my daughters class.) this individual's name is "Ms Laura" - I was dropping something off for my daughter when I overheard her speaking so terribly about my daughter, who IS only 2.5 years old! (She didn't know I was there). This woman is a teacher and was saying terrible things about my child, within earshot of other kids, including my own! No properly trained early childhood educator would ever speak this way of children in their school, specifically a 2.5 year old who is transitioning in a new school. If this woman was teaching my child's class, I would pull her out right away. Luckily we are fortunate to have great teachers in my daughters class and not a bully like Ms Laura.

He recommended waiting to see how things played out before deciding whether to write a review or file a formal complaint. Now that time has passed, and no further fallout occurred, I am writing this to help other parents make an informed decision. How dare The Learning Experience contact Child Protective Services (CPS) in an effort to cover their tracks after my wife questioned them about a bruise on our toddler's face, a bruise that was not present when we dropped her off. We understand that toddlers can get bumps and bruises from regular play. But what's unacceptable is the lack of accountability from the staff and the cowardly decision to pass the blame onto parents instead of being transparent. Having CPS show up at our home, suspicious of us as parents was humiliating, distressing, and completely unjustified. Even worse, CPS did not have anything to report, confirming there was no credible concern or evidence behind the daycare's accusation, but now we're in the "system". My wife shares many of the same concerns echoed in other negative reviews. The staff at this location appeared disinterested and undertrained, complaining, disengaged, and clearly "just there for a check." Nearly every time we picked up our daughter, there was a different teacher in the room, and no one seemed to know what had gone on during the day. Communication was chaotic and unprofessional. It often felt like they hired people off the street with zero preparation. We observed several children with crusted snot on their faces, and even our daughter often looked like she'd been "through a storm" by pickup time. These are not isolated impressions, but they reflect a clear pattern of poor management and inadequate care. And filing a formal complaint with the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), in still under consideration contingent on statute of limitations. However, we encourage other parents with similar experiences to do the same and NOT let this walk. Sure, positive reviews are plentiful. But I strongly urge any parent reading this to also take the one-star reviews seriously. If you value professionalism, accountability, and compassion in a childcare setting, this is not the place.
