From the moment you walk in and are welcomed with a tour, you immediately feel the warmth and care that defines this school. Ms. Jennifer does an exceptional job creating a welcoming environment not only for families, but also for the staff. She is always kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in everyone who walks through the doors. What stands out most is their openness to feedback. Ms. Jennifer and the team consistently invite parents to share their thoughts and truly take that feedback into consideration. This reflects their genuine commitment to growth and excellence. It's rare to find a school so dedicated to continuous improvement although, honestly, it's hard to identify anything they need to improve, as they already go above and beyond in every aspect. In addition to their outstanding program, Montessori Explorer now offers parent workshops and classes that have been incredibly valuable. These have supported not only our family, but many others as well. Within my circle of fellow parents, we often find ourselves talking about how wonderful this school is and how much it has positively impacted our children and families. If you are looking for a place where your child will feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn, I highly recommend visiting Montessori Explorer. It is a place where children truly enjoy being and where they are nurtured to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I share this not only as a parent, but also as an educator. Montessori Explorer has been an exceptional experience for my child, and I am incredibly grateful to be part of this community.

Overall, our child had a wonderful experience attending Explorer for kinder through second grade…read more The director--who taught those classes--is a very practiced teacher. She knows how to run a classroom. Your kids will be in great hands as far as academics and structure is concerned. There are some peculiarities to how the school is run that may not work well for all children. Cleanliness and politeness is highly valued. This is a very ordered school. Kids who need to stim with fidgets or walk back and forth frequently may not be as supported as they might in other environments. (I'm being very general with the "may not be" since I don't know for sure. I just know that my kid appreciated a very ordered classroom thrived, but there may not be a lot of room for deviation from the standard.) In an age where EdTech is dominating schools with computer programs in every class, it was wonderful to give our child a tech-free start away from the pressure of assessments and CAASP testing. I wish we could go back.

I retoured all the local Montessori schools and decided to come back to Montessori hills for my third. It truly is the best for our family and it seemed like nothing had changed since my other children went to this school. She's been there for months and everything was going well. Until she started biting out of nowhere. We received incident reports and calls from the teachers and principal. I felt so horrible, but all the teachers and the principal have really been supportive through this. They were firm that this is serious because obviously they don't want the other children to get bitten, but they were also caring and understanding that it's part of her development. I'm a third time parent and this is the first time I'm going through this. They gave me so many tools and resources and have given my child extra support during this time. I could not be more grateful for their guidance. I read another review below saying it's a good school until your child is a problem child. Well I felt like my child became the problem child but in my experience they helped support us through the challenges and it seemed like they really cared. They put a plan in place and I felt like we were all a team in helping my child. She's improved so much because of the care and extra support we have all been pouring into her. Again- I am so grateful to the staff, teachers and the principal. I feel like my toddler and us as a family have really been supported here. Thank you Montessori hills.

The owner Miss Adriana and teachers are so warm, welcoming, and caring from the first day I met them. You can see they really care for the children and provide a safe and loving environment for them to succeed and thrive. They plan out so many fun activities for the kids and my daughter comes home very happy everyday. They use an app Class Dojo to share fun pictures and provide updates/communication. I love that my daughter comes home with all her cute artwork, drawings, and tracing letters she learned in class. As a parent, it means everything to find a daycare you can trust because you know your child is safe and cared for. I want to thank all the teachers at Little Tree House for their love and support they provide my child and my family!

We had our first teacher/parent conference and my son is above average. Honestly, if it wasn't for Little Tree House preparing him for his new school and teaching the basic skill set such as writing his name, sounds of letters, numbers (English/spanish) he would not be at the level he is at. I highly recommend this school and encourage your child to experience the one on one interaction that most kids need.

It's such a positive and supportive place, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent.

The atmosphere is welcoming, caring and clearly designed with children's learning and well-being in mind. Mrs. Christian and her staff are experts at keeping your child safe, mentally stimulated, and engaged. Our child's enthusiasm for attending school every day speaks volumes about the positive environment they've created. Ms. Rayna, Landeros, and Luna are patient, caring, and truly dedicated to the children's development and has developed a strong and trusting bond with my child. We've been consistently impressed by their individualized attention, their ability to foster a love of learning through fun, hands-on activities that cater to different learning styles. Our child is excited about learning about the morals and values of Spectrum preschool and continues to practice good character this facility teaches. He has excelled academically through constant mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement. Beyond academics, this preschool places a strong emphasis on social-emotional growth. Our child has made great strides in developing social skills, learning to share, cooperate with others, and navigate interactions with peers in a positive way. He has developed appropriate behavior norms, and a good sense of independence and self-worth. Communication with my wife and I is excellent as we are regularly updated with his progress and current events. We have developed a partnership with the common goal of raising our child in a positive environment. Spectrum Preschool is a one of the best ways to set up a solid foundation for your child and we highly recommend this preschool to any parent seeking a safe, nurturing, and truly enriching early childhood experience for their child.

The teachers are incredibly loving and thoughtful. I especially love the fact that they celebrate birthdays and holidays and create opportunities for parents to get to know each other, too. My child has grown by leaps and bounds, and his interactions with the other children are fun to see. The fact that meals are provided (bfast, lunch and snacks) is a godsend. Several daycares/preschools in the region claim to be Spanish immersion but aren't actually (e.g., they speak English to the kiddos). At Lulus, I feel like we get a truly authentic Spanish immersion program for our son, knowing instruction is exclusively in Spanish. And it shows. My son 100% understands Spanish when it is spoken to him and he mixes Spanish and English in his vocabulary regularly. I credit Lulus for a large part of that bilingual ability and look forward to seeing his fluency improve in the years to come. Highly recommend Lulus!!
