Now that we added our 2nd at the same age, price has double at $3,100 per month. But staff turnover, and poor morale has significantly decreased their care.

My kids have always come home singing songs and learning so much - by the time my oldest started Kindergarten they were already reading, writing, and way ahead of their peers - and it's all thanks to KCC. Sad to leave as our youngest moves upward and onward, but truly a gem in local childcare. We'll miss you!

My son attended this school for one full year. During the first six months, before Christmas,…read moreeverything went well. We rarely received any negative feedback, and we believed he was adjusting well. Unfortunately, after Christmas, everything changed. We started receiving behavior reports from Ms. Erika almost every other day. Instead of using supportive and encouraging strategies, the discipline methods included having my son sit on the "red chair" for extended periods or taking him to the office to sit alone. In my opinion, these approaches did not help him learn or improve his behavior. Instead, they only made him more frustrated, anxious, and emotionally overwhelmed. It has now been about a month since we left the school, yet my son still talks almost every day about how he felt ignored by Ms. Erika and how she never noticed or acknowledged his good behavior. During the entire second half of the school year, I cannot remember a single time she praised or encouraged him. Every communication we received focused only on what he did wrong. What is even more concerning is that there were two teachers in the classroom. Whenever Ms. Erika was absent, we did not receive behavior reports or complaints. This makes me believe she was simply unable to build a positive relationship with my son. Unfortunately, I also found her communication with us as parents to be cold and unsupportive. Instead of working together to help our child succeed, we often felt judged rather than supported. As a parent, I deeply regret choosing this school because I truly believe this experience negatively affected my son's confidence and emotional well-being. A preschool teacher should make children feel safe, valued, understood, and encouraged--not constantly punished or made to feel like they are a problem. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this school, especially the Apple Orchard classroom with Ms. Erika. I sincerely hope the school administration takes feedback like this seriously and ensures that every child is treated with patience, kindness, and encouragement.

From the very beginning, she absolutely loved being there -- and as parents, we felt the same. The warmth, structure, and intentionality of the program helped our daughter thrive. She learned to read by age three, developed strong social and emotional skills, and grew deeply curious about the world around her. Miss Sarah has created something truly special. Her curriculum fosters independence, empathy, and a real love for learning. She was always available -- whether by message or phone call -- and her communication gave us so much peace of mind. Though we were sad when the school moved to its new location in Poway, we are so happy for Miss Sarah and her new chapter. Montessori Schoolhouse is one of a kind, and we're forever grateful to have been part of the school community. Gloria

His teacher has mentioned multiple times that he is very far ahead of his peers academically. I credit that to Primrose's Kindergarten program. The kindergarten teacher cared about every child succeeding, and the curriculum was wonderful! It even included things like cooking activities, STEM projects, and learning to play chess! I was a little concerned about the transition this year to a larger school after being at Primrose for 2 years, but my son has thrived. Graduating kindergarten from Primrose 4S Ranch allowed him an extra year to mature, have a smaller class size for better individualized instruction time, and build social skills in a comfortable environment. We also really appreciated Primrose 4S Ranch's efforts to include families through events and activities at the school, as well as frequent communication through the parent app.

Below is my original review, in its entirety. But I wanted to give an update…read more Last June my daughter had the privilege of graduating from Primrose's first kindergarten class. I am so happy we made the choice to keep her at the school as the small class size, individual attention and focused curriculum was such a wonderful fit for her. I felt like she grew a lot, learned so much and was able to really get prepared for a larger school with the fundamentals in math and reading. She even learned chess (and loves it) The kids had lessons in programming too. It was really a great experience and I would recommend it for families considering their options for kindergarten especially since they wouldn't need to worry about getting into ESS like at the local elementary schools. Our son has now also been at Primrose now since he was 5 months old. We loved the care of all the teachers in helping him grow and develop. He has learned so much and he is so loved and cared for. -------------------------------------------- My daughter has been attending Primrose for the last 3 years now and we love love love the school. The teachers and staff take the upmost care in educating and helping the children there grow. My daughter has learned so so much (she is currently in preschool) and comes home every day with lots of new facts, letters she is learning, etc. The school also focuses on learning about other cultures/holidays which we really appreciate as she gets a lot of exposure to new things. The school really creates a community environment, where there are parties and events so parents from different classes can meet each other and socialize with the teachers and staff as well. Primrose really feels like my daughter's home away from home. My daughter is eligible for Pre-K at the local elementary school next year and I decided to keep her at Primrose because we love it so much. Their hours are more conducive for our family (PUSD pre-K after school care isn't guaranteed and impacted at most schools) and they provide meals! My daughter always gets so excited about the varied menu, and comes home asking for me to make our family some of the things she has tried at school. Before Primrose, my daughter attended an at home daycare before attending Primrose and it was not a great fit, I had been really discouraged that I would find something that worked for our family and I am so lucky we have found Primrose. My daughter is treated like a person, not a number, they have worked on so many social skills with her that I know we would not have received at another facility. Thank you Primrose for the care and attention you pay to your students!

Miss Samantha and Miss Jan are incredible! They are caring, patient, empathetic, and deeply invested in each child's growth. You can genuinely feel how much they love what they do. They take the time to understand each child individually and create a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to thrive. What we appreciate most is the small, close-knit community. It never feels overwhelming or impersonal -- instead, it feels like family. There is so much support not just for the children, but for parents as well. Communication is thoughtful and consistent, and we've always felt heard and valued. Our daughter has grown in confidence, independence, and kindness during her time here. We are so grateful for the foundation Windmill Montessori has given her. If you are looking for a warm, supportive, and truly caring preschool environment, we cannot recommend Windmill Montessori enough. We are sad to move on to 1st grade without Miss Samantha and Miss Jan this next year but will be so grateful for the skills and confidence we gained to successfully make the new transition.
