As a self-proclaimed picky mom with high standards, I can honestly say this school has exceeded my expectations. When I drop my daughter off, it doesn't feel like I'm leaving her at a daycare--it feels more like she's spending the day at a loving grandma's house. The teachers are incredibly kind, diverse, and attentive. Every week they create enriching activities like gym, science, music, Spanish, art, and crafts. They celebrate holidays, embrace diversity and inclusion, and bring so much creativity into the classroom. The spacious backyard is another highlight--kids spend plenty of time outdoors, playing, exploring, and enjoying fresh air every day. What I love most is the sense of community--parents are engaged, educated, and involved in participation programs. We felt so supported that even though my daughter was accepted into two TK programs, we chose to keep her here for another year. If you're looking for a nurturing, joyful, and inspiring place for your little one, I can't recommend Discover Montessori enough!

Camellia Waldorf School

My family has been a part of the Camellia community for nine years. We have two children who…read morestarted in preschool and are working their way through their prospective grades now. The community is unmatched- loving, thoughtful, supportive. A lot of family members don't understand the Waldorf method of teaching and make jokes, but my kids are both strong readers with curious minds about every subject. They offer Spanish, choir, strings, and band as part of their regular curriculum along with gardening, movement, etc. The students are taught in a way that offers a depth of understanding that other schools simply don't have the time to teach. Rather than doing a written project about catapults, for example, they actually build one. We love this school and community and are confident our kids will be very well prepared for what comes next.

I chose Camellia Waldorf very intentionally for my daughter. I loved the Waldorf philosophy and…read moretruly thought this would be a school and community we would be part of for years. It was also a significant financial investment for our family, one I was willing to make because I believed in what the school represented. Unfortunately, our kindergarten year ended in a way I never expected. The turning point was when I witnessed my daughter's teacher, Ms. Olga, physically pull/drag my daughter by her legs out of the classroom and leave her in the hallway. After talking with my daughter afterward, she told me this was not the first time Ms. Olga had pulled her out of the classroom that way and left her in the hallway. As a parent, that was extremely upsetting to learn. The school told me they investigated the incident. When I later asked about the outcome of that investigation, I was told the details were private information, but that Ms. Olga would no longer do that. I understand there may be privacy limitations regarding an employee, but being told essentially that it wouldn't happen again left me with more questions than reassurance, especially after learning from my daughter that it had happened before. I wasn't asking for anyone to be fired or trying to create a huge issue. I simply asked that my daughter be moved to another kindergarten classroom for the last six weeks of school. They offered Ms. Haley's class, but that class still shared time and activities with Ms. Olga's class. I asked for the other kindergarten classroom so my daughter could actually be separated from the situation, and the school would not accommodate that. My daughter ultimately stayed home for the remainder of kindergarten. What disappointed me even more was what happened afterward. My daughter and I were initially invited to the Fly Away Ceremony. After I emailed the school expressing my disappointment that they couldn't find another classroom for her, I was told it would be best if I did not attend. As a parent, I should be able to respectfully question a school's decision and advocate for my child without feeling like that makes me unwelcome. There are things about Waldorf education that I still love, and I know other families may have completely different experiences. I can only speak about ours. I just wish that when something this serious happened, there had been more accountability and more effort to find a solution for my daughter instead of her losing the last weeks of her kindergarten year.

Even though it looked like a mess in there. I bought a washer and dryer set for about $745, since I was trying to be frugal and it was cheap. The dryer was fine. The washer however shook like an earthquake and didn't spin correctly, leaving the clothes dripping wet! I immediately called Appliance warehouse and they sent a repairman out in a week, they stated it was the soonest someone can come out to check it out. Mind you, I just had a baby and is recovering from a c-section. Having two kids under 2, I need to do laundry and can't wait a week. I was so frustrated! Repairman finally came out and ran a few cycles and stated we have to run it only on "normal" cycle. Ok....I should be able to run it on whatever cycle suits my needs, that's why there are different options on the washer. Days after he came out, same thing the washer was loud and shook again (on normal setting). I called Appliance warehouse again and it's the same story, I had to wait for days for a repairman to come out. I asked if we can get a replacement, and the lady who is tan and has long nails stated "no" the repairman has to try and fix it at least "6" times...EXCUSE ME?? Finally, after one last attempt, repairman came out again, and they washer now does not shake anymore but I am only able to run it on "normal" cycle, not "heavy or light cycle". I found out that all of their washer and dryers are all torn apart and rebuilt with reburnished parts (junky parts). Long story short, go somewhere else! You're better spending an extra $100-200 for a brand new set at Costco. I AM NEVER COMING BACK HERE! Oh yeah, and they tell you to leave as "good review" to get a free month of warranty.

First off, I love this place greatly. The staff is super friendly and excellent with the kids. The rates are affordable and they're also very flexible with parent's schedules. The food is healthy and nutritious and the center is always clean and neat. It means a lot to have a piece of mind when your child is away from you and with complete strangers. Tot town puts all my worries and fears at ease. My daughter went there from the ages of 2 thru 4. And currently I have my 2yr old son whom is currently enrolled and we plan on keeping him there until he's 4 and is ready for graduation. I would recommed this place to any parent in the state of California. If anyone has any questions, concerns, or worries, feel free to contact me directly and I'll speak with anyone.

We had our 4 year old here for a little over a year. it was our first Montessori experience and we…read morehad high expectations. Ultimately, we decided to withdraw him after several concerns about the daily structure and care. The most significant issue was a 3-hour daily nap/rest period. Since our child no longer naps, he was expected to remain on a mat for extended periods, sometimes becoming distressed and even crying before school. Upon enrollment we were told that kids who didn't nap were taken outside to play. However, after facing staff shortages over the past few months, there were days when all kids had to remain on the mat, silent for 3 hours. Unfortunately, the school did not communicate this with us. But they did confirm the practice after my son explained what was going on. Additionally, the food provided did not align with what was described in the handbook, with frequent processed foods and sugary items. Overall, this program may work for families whose children nap for long periods and are comfortable with the 3 hours per day of nap/rest. But, it was not a good fit for our child's needs and we were disappointed on the lack of transparency regarding this practice.

I am a "planner" and had toured many places and got on waitlists early at the time. Initially I didn't think dot tot would be in my top choices because we do not live near or work downtown so location wise it was not ideal and even today is quite far but so worth it for both the overall cost and quality care! I remember with many tours liking some other facilities that felt big and new, because dot tot is an older building in general, but when I asked about the more important aspects, like teacher retention and years of service, some of the "newer" places had major red flags, like teachers that have all only been there a year, or the most seasoned person being there "3 years" while dot tot blew me away- they have 2 teachers that have been there since the 80's! The director is very proactive and has been there 20+ years and most other staff have been going on at least 3-5+ years now. This really speaks to the culture of the place and that they treat each other well and care about the work they do. I have also seen over time with my little ones and the various classrooms how helpful they are across all the rooms and with each other as an overall center. This gave me such great peace of mind compared to considering either a nanny at home that would have no accountability from someone else around, or larger centers that seemed like each class was their own "island" with little support from other teachers. Logistically, they also provide ALL the wipes, diapers, and milk [once they're past breastmilk/formula] meals and snacks. This makes packing up SO much easier each day, and that being included into the cost is amazing. It is still one of the most affordable places somehow, likely because it is a non-profit! It also has a board of directors run by current parents so participation is really key and helpful and has kept up a culture of people that truly care about the kids, the environment they're learning in, and the teachers well-being too. I may come to later regret this review if I eventually have another baby and then there's a longer waitlist now for this awesome center, but your little ones would be in very caring hands here! It is never easy to hand over your most precious baby to anyone, but these gals are amazing in the daily work they do- they are so calm, patient and kind with them and truly care for the children they look after.
